and federal agents deployed by president trump. argentina's police are accused of using the current virus as a cover for abuses. hello from the beaches of spain to the streets of melbourne corona virus cases are surging on almost every continent the global death toll is racing toward 650000 with more than a 3rd of fatalities in just 2 countries the united states and brazil they and india account for nearly half of all confirmed infections in the world and the virus is also spreading faster it's taken just 4 days for the global number of cases from to jump from 15 to 16000000 over the past week 37 countries have reported record

spikes in daily infections including nations once praised for taming their outbreaks like australia and israel here in europe one report suggests spain's actual death toll may be 60 percent higher because suspected cases were never included in its total of $28432.00 victims but spain insists it is safe despite a new spike in cases prompting the u.k. to abrupt abruptly reimpose a 2 week quarantine on travelers returning from their. reports. london's gatwick airport and plenty of people flying off on holiday but for those traveling to spain it's a confusing time face with 2 weeks in quarantine on their return this teacher and her husband decided to cancel their trip to the countries south where we were going there is no outbreak so why don't some why they have to look at regional lockdowns like madrid and barcelona like why not you know shut those down and then leave the

tourist a bit open and that's a question being asked by some travelers heading to london from madrid i think it so it's pretty bad because it's just come all of a sudden it's not given people much time to prepare. for everyone is now panicking and i also think it ruins cons for everybody since the number of cases here in the span of a rise and i think it's sensible measure. and i was expecting it to be honest spain recorded more than 100 new covered cases on friday and major cities including barcelona have seen a surge in infections with health officials warning a 2nd wave could be imminent the british government says it had to act quickly to avoid reinfection and a possible lockdown but the message from spain is the country is safer tourists like in any other european country we are seeing outbreaks the outbreaks in spain are perfectly controlled we have 3 that are the most important outbreaks at the moment in barcelona in larry that. all of them are perfectly traced.

europe's biggest travel company to you has counseled all holidays in mainland spain for 2 weeks but it's still flying people to spain's canary islands and the bali eric islands is question the need for people returning from those destinations to self isolate one al-jazeera staff member who just travel to minorca says people there was surprised we were quite distracted when we heard the news the numbers here are very low they've implemented a very strict lockdown here and then it broke out very very strict wanted people have not been able to leave their houses and they've done really well it keeping the numbers down here in minorca the real damage is likely to be to people's confidence in travelling meaning a setback to the aviation industry and to spain's tourism sector that accounts for 12 percent of the national economy. here in britain the opposition labor party is calling for clarity on what support people going into quarantine will get but what many people are asking themselves is whether this kind of risk will be part of

foreign travel for the foreseeable future nadeem barber al jazeera in southern england or coronavirus cases across latin america have passed 4300000 following a surge of infections in brazil mexico peru colombia and argentina it makes latin america the most affected region by the pandemic with almost 27 percent of worldwide infections and health experts say several nations almost certainly under report infections and. let's now get more on the situation over in the u.s. castor is joining us from maryland so what is the situation like there. well the rain here in the united states number infections approaching 4200000 just a little bit less than the entire latin american region as you were just saying and the hot spots in the u.s.

are shifting of course it was new york but now it is the state of florida that has surpassed new york as far as the number of total infections and the total number per day of new infections is topping 10000 a day in florida and the rate of increase is also on the rise certainly very alarming figures for public health officials and for the people who live in florida many are looking at the governor there rick to santas a republican and wondering why it is that he still has not issued orders to wear masks in public and why he's still pushing schools to reopen in august many critics accusing governor to santas of prioritising favor with president trump who he professes to admire rather than protecting the people of his state we're seeing also similarly high numbers in the state of texas where the governor there greg abbott also a republican initially had to reopen the state only to backtrack in the latest

weeks after seeing the beginning of these numbers to resurge the question is whether that was too little too late as we're seeing new spikes of infections and deaths in texas as well particularly in the southern border region next to mexico with hospitals there begging for more resources the military stepping in to bring help and refrigerated morgue trucks parked behind those hospitals in a time when they really could not ask for worse we also have a hurricane hurricane hanna now bearing down on that part of the united states of haiti we also working on yet another stimulus package will be able to meet the real deadline. well they were trying to extend the $600.00 a week check that unemployed americans have been receiving that was part of a previous economic stimulus package and that all goes away at the end of this month where democrats had to agree to extend that however that legislation was

passed in the house of representatives it was not taken up in the senate which is controlled by republicans and what we're seeing there in the senate is a stalled effort among republicans to come up with their own package of solutions and that $600.00 week check is apparently the stock point with republicans saying yes that program should be extended but disagreement about how much whether to continue with that amount of money or as the secretary of treasury student has said he doesn't want to pay americans more money to stay home rather than to go back to their job certainly those words are not being well received by the americans who are without a job we know that some surveys show that a quarter of them who are receiving the stimulus check will have trouble paying their rent or mortgages in this coming month without that extra help during. her thank you very much.

he marched alongside martin luther king jr and campaigned for a social justice right up until his death 2 weeks ago now john lewis one of the most influential figures in the american civil rights movement has made a symbolic final journey his coffin was driven across the edmund pettus bridge in selma alabama on the way to his memorial service it's 55 years since lewis led hundreds of black demonstrators across that bridge and was beaten unconscious state police violently broke up the march violence was condemned across the united states on the world and through a national spotlight on the struggle for racial equality and the gallagher has more on the legacy of john lewis. he crossed over peacefully today but 55 years ago it was a very different scene as lewis and other people fighting for the right for the black

vote were met with alabama state troopers who beat lewis to the ground one of 40 times in his actions a civil rights pioneer that he was arrested and those pictures the still pictures in the moving pictures from that event was seen across the united states it really changed the fight to get voting rights for african-americans but john lewis didn't stop there he was elected to office in 1986 and in the decades that followed john lewis has always fought for those less well off than most americans not just african-americans but also native americans and members of the l.g.b. t.q. community he will be remembered as someone widely known as the conscience of the u.s. congress someone who. went to both sides of the aisle to get things done was widely respected got the presidential medal of freedom in 2011 so his legacy i think in all this is a day of sadness he's being remembered for what he did during his time during his

life he was known as somebody that really appealed to all generations and in particular at this moment in time with the death of george floyd was someone that young people often turn to for guidance he also spoke the day that martin luther king jr made his famous i have a dream speech and until his death was the last living person who spoke that day so once his body moves on from montgomery it will go to the rotunda in washington d.c. early next week where members of the public will be able to pay their respects to someone known as an icon in the civil rights era. anti-racism protests in the u.s. city of portland are now into their 9th week nationwide demonstrations started in may off to the killing of george floyd in minneapolis and had been dying down but portland city leaders say anger has been inflamed by president donald trump's decision to send in federal agents hearting reports.
