greece that's rig night in calls for the return of disputed artifacts. welcome to the program from the beaches of spain to the streets of los angeles coronavirus cases are surging almost every continent faster further than ever before it's taken just 4 days for the global number of cases to jump from 15 to 16000000 well over the past week 37 countries reported record spikes in daily infections including the u.s. where the tally is going up by 60 to 70000 every day california remains the epicenter of its outbreak was florida has now overtaken new york with nearly 424000 infections brazil is the 2nd worst hit country out of the u.s. and the number of cases across latin. erica has surpassed

a 4300000 more than the u.s. and canada combined with those top 3 hotspots the u.s. brazil india now account for half of the world's infections prime minister narendra modi warned the indian public to remain extremely vigilant saying the danger of covert 19 is far from over so let's see what's happening across latin america alexander and petit joins us live now from the colombian capital bogota alexandra's a latin america now the worst affected region in the world for covert cases this is a pretty grim milestone which countries are driving up the numbers. yes there and according to the american health again and stationed there pandemic across the region is showing no signs of slowing down but experts there are particularly worried the 5 countries brazil or mexico of course but also colombia where we are. to and to a lesser extent also cheeto weird things have eased up

a bit of course brazil remains the main hot spot this week they've been reporting more than 50000 cases for 4 days in a row however the government said that this sunday's the number of confirmed cases has gone down to a little over 24000 we'll see what happens in the coming days but the worry there is that even if they brought under control their main hotspots the 1st hot spots at the beginning of the outbreak new ones of st pierre in particular in the south and center west of the country that had fared much better so a lot of warre there in countries like colombia where we are reopening the economy as man to a big big increase in cases so we are in a critical phase of the pandemic right now the same as happened in mexico that has

seen a resurgence in hospitalizations despite the government thought they had already passed the peak. and alessandro health experts say the official dates are almost certainly under reports infections and deaths in several of those countries that you just mentioned i mean that's likely to put yet more strain on hospitals and public health services. yes there unfortunately that seems to be the case same particularly in the worst affected countries like mexico and brazil that have been the worst same performing tests per 1000000 inhabitants in particular in mexico that has been a decision of the government. not doing a lot of tests instead using some statistical systems to try and understand how the outbreak was going but they have invested

a lot in their intensive care you need to manage so far to avoid except in some cases that those health system be completely overwhelmed but there is a lot of worry a lot of strain for example hearing but what that 93 percent of i.c.u. units are now fool and the numbers keep going up all right allison run petit there in the colombian capital bogota alexander thank you well moving focus now to the u.s. in our correspondent hi joe castro is in maryland she says the outbreak is getting worse in multiple states across the country. that's a dire situation across the vast majority of states in fact in 40 states the per capita infection rate has gone up in this past week with 18 states breaking new records as far as the number of infections and the number of deaths florida is now one of the epicenters now surpassing new york in the number of infections reporting 10000 new day daily cases and we're looking at texas as well another state that

reopened early in this pandemic only for its governor to reverse course when it became apparent that these numbers were going up that happened a few weeks ago and now the question is whether it was too little too late as we see these infections continue to rise in texas especially in the south south region of that state where resources were already strained to begin with in the health care system now hospitals begging for more resources the military stepping in to provide some assistance and bringing refrigerated morgue trucks to store the dead so a very grim situation in texas one of several hot spots now in the united states where europe was once a global epicenter of the virus off of the outbreak in china it's a long road to recovery but parts are now experiencing surges spain is insisting that it's to a safe travel destination of the u.k. reintroduced

a 2 week orange period for those returning from holiday but in baba reports now from london. 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 want them to like a regional lockdowns like madrid in 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 i think it ruins comes for everybody since the number of cases here in spain arise 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 he has counseled all holidays in mainland spain for 2 weeks but it's still flying people to spain's canary islands and the erik 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 frustrated when we had the news the numbers here are

very low they've implemented a very strict lockdown here and then it broke out. a very very strict one and 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. al-jazeera in southern england now he marched alongside martin luther king jr and campaign for social justice right up until his death almost 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

the damage to this 2500 year old temple was caused relatively recently just over 200 years ago the 7th removed dozens of sculpted panels to get to them he hoisted masonry off the roof and dashed it to the ground yeah not. to remove something you have to dismantle whatever's on top of it it's not like pulling the book off the shelf temple construction was like lego they were built from the bottom up this is why they've lasted each piece is fitted exactly to the pieces around it and that makes them earthquake resistant the sculptures formed part of the structure this quake proof technology has lasted world the ancient greeks connected each block of marble to its neighbor with. over which molten lead was poured insulated and prevent rust and for $25.00 centuries these clumps absorbed strains when blocks of marble moved against each other during earthquakes and they've kept this temple

from collapsing but earthquakes have done far less damage than people even those who unlike meant well the clumps used in a 19th century restoration rusted expanded and split the surrounding marble and venetian francesco who meant to liberate africans from the ottomans 350 years ago did the most damage of all causing an explosion that ripped the parthenon open visitors are divided over how much of the original parthenon should be restored like it was that's better than i think it's better when you have your imagination i would love to see exactly how it was i think that would be amazing i'd love to see exactly how and maybe we have a 2nd chance that he came here i mean showing future generations what was there this restoration won't go as far as reconstruction it's a mystery heal the damage. maurizio me caused greeks hope that part of that healing

legal solution in germany it's very similar the museum directors even if they want which i doubt they wouldn't be able to restitute objects in great great numbers so it's both the museum directors who are professionals want to keep for it to have caught i'm to put politicians who don't put pressure on them or who don't create a legal frank which makes it possible to return french parliament passed legislation to bieksa go to return 26 or 30 objects which is is is just as more figure compared to the 1000s of objects which were due to turn stolen during colonialism i think it's going nowhere because the european museums are basically food of looted object and the european museum at me straight has put it in half rate that once you start

a process of restitution you can't stop it and that museums will be ruby and can't and secondly the question of who to dock jets leads to the question of colonial legacy at large and that means where he could use tube you should have those on earth comes from and that we have 600 years of colonial exploitation to to discuss and to find a remedy for this crew distribution and people shy away from it in the west in europe shy away from this big crush. trying to protect the headlines on the al-jazeera florida has overtaken new york as the 2nd worst hit state by coronavirus in the u.s. more than 12000 new cases were reported in the past day taking the state's total to more than 423000. corona virus cases across latin america past
