seen a resurgence in hospitalizations despite the government thought they had already passed the peak depend a mic the past week 37 countries reported record spikes in daily cases among them is the us which is seeing between 60 to 70000 new infections per day florida has overtaken new york as the 2nd worst hit state by grown virus well the 9000 new cases were reported there on sunday taking the state's total to more than $423000.00. australia has reported its highest ever single day rise in corona virus cases the bulk of them were in the state of victoria where 532 new infections were confirmed in the past 24 hours despite going back into lockdown the state is struggling to contain a resurgence of the virus the states have closed their borders to victorians and the virus continues to spread at an alarming rate in india prime minister narendra

a small number of countries kindly latin america has taken over even the us south africa and 14 we're seeing a rapid resurgence and we know also see. a resurgence of cases in countries that were quite successful the beginning like or like australia initially you know the virus is spreading mainly in old care homes in care homes in old age homes within hospitals but now we're seeing a shift in the epidemic and it's affecting more younger people it is understandable you know after months of look down the young people want to be out again they want to party they want to be together but unfortunately we're not it time and we just cannot do this and and we really need the young people to understand the need to keep on doing social distancing to really protect those that are highest risk for

severe disease outcomes. europe was once the global epicenter of the virus after the outbreak in china it's had a long recovery but some parts are now experiencing surges spain is insisting that it's still a safe travel destination that's after the u.k. reintroduced a 2 week period for those returning from holiday reports from london. london's gatwick airport and plenty of people flying off on holiday but for those travelling to spain it's a confusing time place 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 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's pretty bad because it's just come all of a sudden it's not given people much time to prepare. for everyone's now panicking

and i also think it ruins comes for everybody since the number of cases here in spain are rising i think it's a little measure. and i was expecting it to be honest spain recorded more than 100 new covered cases on friday the 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 2 he has counseled all holidays in mainland spain for 2 weeks but it's still flying people to spain's canary islands and the bally

disinfect the building as well now up until this morning we had actually been allowed to go in front of the consulate but about $630.00 local time am the 2 least came to being we cleared out the area cleared the public and set up some barricades just in front that was also the time that the u.s. flag came down from the flag post in the consulate we know that most of the software working at the consulate were had evacuated during the weekend they were seen coming in and out some for the removal of those that going in and out of the compound that cigna of the u.s. consulate was also removed over the weekend now as to why china has targeted this particular consulate well they didn't says that some of the stop working that were involved in activities inconsistent with that capacity but we also know this is this was quite a significant operation a significant mission pull the u.s. because of its location here in southwest china which closely but this is located in nearby coaching and also acted as a kind of listening post for any important happenings into bed all she young of beijing of course says that this is a reciprocal move in response to the full disclosure of the chinese consulate in

texas they deny any charges that they were spying will theft of intellectual property taking place that they said that it was an unjustified. and they say that washington simply false its hands and we've seen today the closure of the consulate here in changes in katrina just remind our viewers of what the consulate closures need and why it's important. all. that's right we'll keep it it's a hugely significant it's a big dramatic escalation and what speed seemingly this freefall in the bilateral relationship between china and the us is quite dramatic and just around you can't see but there are crowds of people taking huge interest in what's happening here today and their opinions really run the gamut in terms of how they feel about what's happening many people have taken diplomat one ye china's top diplomat his message to heart and he said that the deteriorating ties of solely the responsibility of the trump administration in washington and online we've seen quite a few hostile messages people encouraging these u.s.

the city is the final leg of the selma to montgomery voting rights trail at his casket retrace that journey. earlier it was driven across the edmund pettus bridge in selma on the way to the memorial service 55 years since lewis led hundreds of black demonstrators across that same bridge and was beaten unconscious state police violently broke up the march. crystal wilson is with the national museum of american history he says john lewis is passion for the civil rights movement is something that will live on. john lewis leaves such a such an amazing legacy we've had him many times here at the smithsonian institution to look back on his history and the history of the movement i think that the most important thing to me in his legacy and in looking at that moment today is that he was leading that march in 165 but he would have always thought

about it not just him in front but all of the people who were working in places like selma on a local level for the national organizations like student nonviolent coordinating committee that he led and helped found at the beginning. were important but really it was the local people whose voice he was amplifying and i think that that it will be important to remember today john lewis was in his last days was able to stand out in the streets in washington and join the protesters one of the things that we have to remember about mr lewis and other activists particularly that nashville tradition is though we think about the. personal journey that they would go through and making personal decisions like not to give up their seat on a bus or something like that and doing that sort of thing also they were really and in really changing the nation and being really active and so i think that's

what we're seeing today typifies what john lewis was all about. process in the u.s. city of portland against racism and police brutality into the 9th week with more chaos in the strings on saturday night and well into sunday morning the protest is the true fireworks with the city's courthouse while federal agencies take s. to try and break up the crown. 2 people are being treated in hospital in colorado after they were accidently shot during a protest they were hit by a fellow protester had taken aim at a blue jeep that was driving at speed toward the crowd hundreds of protesters were marching down the highway when the vehicle drove to with them. protesters are gathering in the philippines ahead of president roderigo deter days annual state of the nation address the rally is taking place at the university of the philippines protests outside congress are banned that's where to turn today we'll speak in the coming hours he's been criticized for his handling of the debt and the new door

a lot of these guys are well into their eighty's and ninety's now but this was the commemoration of the end of the war which famously of course is only ever been stopped because of this armistice and it was hoped especially with all of the summit diplomacy of recent years that we may well have seen by this very important a verse or a year or an actual peace agreement being in place well that that we know now is not the case if anything relations have soured but this event obviously comes in the 70th anniversary of the start of the korean war now it's a very important event here was the number of events commemorated that last month interestingly in north korea that is to some what some extent glossed over because of course the north invaded the south although their history books give a very different story but it is this event the end of the war which is very much more commemorated in the north because this is billed as the fatherland overcoming the invaders from outside. the u.n.
