Restrictions are reimposed for hundreds of thousands of people in catalonia. Also ahead egypt is to hold elections for any council of senators 16 years after the chamber was dissolved. Saturday saw the highest number of coronavirus cases worldwide since the start of the pandemic and the majority of those new infections were recorded in latin america the region has now surpassed europe in the number of covert 900 cases some 2 and a half 1000000 and that figure is growing rapidly the statistics are being driven up the way by brazil which has reported more than one and a half 1000000 infections while more than 63000 people have died through in chile are quickly approaching 300000 cases mexico has also been reporting record new infections it now has the 2nd highest death toll in latin america after brazil and listened around preeti is monitoring developments in the region from bogota. The situation is getting worse in other countries that have been successful at least at the beginning and trying to slow down the spread of contagion for example here in colombia that has seen quite an important increase in daily cases since says been reopening parts of its economy with the return of its Large Population of informal people who work out and about on the streets they were hand to mouth they can stay home they have been allowed to return to work and in the last couple of weeks we have seen quite a big increase here the same is true in she less pay to even argentina who was that was probably the most successful country in containing the virus together with her why is seen an increase in the last days and weeks so very problematic pictures some of fischel is here calling for a return to a strict strict measures in countries like where we are in colombia and the government the National Government here though is saying thats not possible because of how weak the economy is overall how big is the need for people to go out and work which means you will probably continue to see these numbers a growing gap. The u. S. President donald trump has made the 2nd Independence Day speech in as many days and again he refused to let the Coronavirus Crisis weaken country mar the celebrations mr trump has hosted the annual salute to america event at the white house you know your 130000 people are known to have died from covert 19 in the u. S. But mr trump told supporters that quote 99 percent of cases detected in the u. S. Had been found to be quotes totally harmless celebrations across the country and to the pandemic with many states canceling their own celebrations mr trump reiterated parts of his speech from the rushmore event on friday we will safeguard our values traditions customs and beliefs we will teach our children to cherish and adore their country so that they can build its future together we will fight for the American Dream and we will defend to protect and preserve american way of life which began in 1492 when columbus discovered america. To rob reynolds correspondent following the events in washington for us today out of our bureau in los angeles was that about Independence Day or is that a Campaign Speech. Primarily a Campaign Speech i think its fair to say peter the president veered between the praise for americas glorious past and its virtues and its heroes and also then. Denouncing people he called anarchistic and looters and radicals he said they are being defeated it tech the press which is a standard tactic in all of his speeches he attacked china pointing out that china is where the corona virus originated and then he in a very sort of openly political move intended i guess as a repudiation of people who have been over the past several weeks removing or reconsidering statues and memorials and monuments to people who were involved either in enslaving people in owning in slave people fighting on the confederate side in the civil war in the 19th century or helping to take the land and eradicate the people of the native American Population of the United States with a garden of american heroes which will include people like Abraham Lincoln Jackie Robinson Amelia Earharts antonin scalia. The Wright Brothers a real mixed bag of american heroes despite the fact that there are plenty of statues to these people all over washington and elsewhere. In any event this is some of what the president said about his vision of this sort of american vala to celebrate americas majestic and heritage yesterday i sided executive order to create. A brand new monument to our most beloved icons the National Guard of american heroes will be a vast outdoor park that will feature the statues of the greatest americans who have ever lived we will honor extraordinary citizens from every community and from every place he was also talking at one point a small part of his speech theyre all trying to bring america together again i guess he was you know paying lip service the idea of healing the wounds that weve reported on and covered extensively since the death of george floyd but youre not seeing people surrounding him who speak to that movement you know on the podium on the stage yesterday at Mount Rushmore no black people no people of color nobody in his in a circle who would reflect the issues. Yeah thats right i mean this is not something that the president has embraced other than with a brief sort of lip service. He is recast the entire black lives Matter Movement and the protests that followed the death of george floyd in may at the hands of a policeman from minneapolis as just an arche the looting all sorts of disorder criminals very bad people in. In rushmore he actually called his fellow americans who are peacefully protesting evil. So. Hes he may speak about unity but he is actually very interested in more divisive rhetoric because he feels that that will fire up his base and his base will carry him to victory in november this despite extensive polling showing that various groups that were instrumental in getting mr trump into the white house in 2016 are falling away from him including elderly people who are you know more subject to being very sick from coded College Educated white women in the suburbs. The list goes on so the president s not doing well at all politically so hes hes throwing a lot of things up against the wall and trying to see what might stick and what might revive his fortunes. Ok rob well leave it there many thanks for all reynolds correspondent there in l. A. Thank you. More than 200000 people in spains catalunya region have been put back under lockdown after the number of infections there almost doubled in one week in contrast pubs restaurants and cinemas have reopened across england following a relaxation of lockdown rules the latest from london in a moment after this report from 19 pub. Opening up for the 1st time in months the archbishop of barcelona joining a group of Health Workers on a visit to the segro to familiar cathedral soon it will welcome residents and eventually tourists spanish and foreign but nobody here is under any illusions that the coronavirus has disappeared. The bit with the guns and yet i think that we have to raise awareness in society and perhaps we havent done it well enough and should try harder it seems good to me that they had a lock down i think its the only way to stop these outbreaks. Elsewhere in the catalonia region theyve imposed a mini lockdown in the rural district surrounding the city of later its after the number of covered 1000 cases nearly doubled in a week to 325 on friday and. Some cases have been linked to fruit picking operations now the areas 200000 residents are banned from meeting in groups of more than 10 and they cant travel outside the zone. The new measures come a day after the United Kingdom announced its socalled safe travel list those heading to dozens of countries including spain wont have to go into quarantine when they return notably absent from the list is portugal which thanks to quick action of voided the exponential rates of infections and deaths that spain has suffered on friday portugal reported 374. 00 new covered cases mostly in and around the capital lisbon while the citys a Tourist Destination most british holidaymakers head for the Southern Coast of the algarve region and the portuguese government is calling the u. K. Decision census the Prime Minister tweeted comparing covered 1000 cases per 100000 people and stressing british visitors are still welcome the. New i will say that on the 1st of july the United Kingdom had 176 that of people from covert 19 and globally we are speaking of a country that has a population 6 times bigger than portugal and has until today 44000 deadly cases. For now regions across europe which rely on tourism trying to strike a balance between allowing visitors in and keeping the coronavirus at bay nadeem barber aljazeera. The ancient in alienable rights of free born people of the United Kingdom to go to the pub is how porous johnson described it well here they are enthusiastically enjoying that right again after more than 3 months of lockdown plus going to the cinema getting their hair cut eating in restaurants and staying in hotels for england at least Something Like normal life has returned it feels really feels really its going to go on a bit. Its rather expensive by comparison with. By buying in. Super saturday as the English Press is called it was desperately needed by a struggling Hospitality Industry but Business Owners had to reduce capacity and make other changes to open a safe as possible we will take all the fortunes we can we put screens up between people you know wash your hands and everyone get way past and stick faces till you know we were watching everything everybody said youre not going to where. Were just hoping that there isnt a 2nd wave and that we really need. It is perhaps the most significant step yet in englands exit from lock down given the combustible mix of liberation and alcohol politicians both local and national have been urging responsibility well maybe we should call it so you decide to do them but i think its a weve been its been 3 or 4 months in which weve not been able to come to restaurants we not been able to come to bars you know been able to come to pumps or an englishman not to be able to go to a pub is a very bad thing so i think people are allowed to let their head in just a little but we want them to do that in a responsible way. Essentially this is a big experiments that carries with it a big risk if this does result in new flare ups of covert 19 the government is hoping that theyll be localized and could be dealt with with localized restrictions returning to another full national knockdown would finish off even more businesses than are expected to go under anyway. Even if this reopening goes well for business and safety tough times are coming during the lock down period weve seen many trust brands such as college cafe rouge sadly fall into administration sad fact is i think were going to see a lot more of this is simply accelerated the decline of a lot of businesses as of today i think there is maybe 250 branded restaurants which will not reopen and that number is only going to get bigger. This may have some appearances of normal life but its still far from the real thing. How does iraq london coming up after the break. Im robert bride to live from busan in south korea thats decided its safe to go back to the beach and safe to get festive again. But. Weve seen some extremely heavy rain into parts of japan recently that has led to the flood that we were talking about for some time now the my your front continues to pulse the heavy downpours out of Central China running towards q.

Rewind continues i can bring your people back to life im sorry with updates on the best of all diseases documentaries the struggle continues from baghdad to now use distance revisiting the suv of fans were going back to a poor South African neighborhood where music and tradition come together in an annual competition but people. Really want. Oh. Father mark youre watching aljazeera a reminder of our top stories this hour the u. S. President donald trump has been hosting the annual salute to america event at the white hands to mark Independence Day celebrations across the country a muted because of coronavirus. Spain has put part of catalonia back on the long run after a sharp increase in cases of cope with 19 around 200000 People Living in the town and later have been affected. And latin america has overtaken europe in the number of coronavirus case use the region has more than 2 and a half 1000000 infections and new cases are rapidly rising brazil is a hotspot with almost 64000 deaths. Lets stay with that aspects of coronavirus and the pandemic when i talk to paolo sotero a distinguished fellow in the Brazil Institute at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for scholars pollo sotero welcome to aljazeera has some of the governments were focusing in on in effect given up. Yes the federal government in brazil thats good enough but its not competent its not a competent government never understood the severity of the polemic in contrast with state governments in brazil it specially and some fall in other parks that have taken this very seriously are giving their response that they can with the means that they have but obviously the lack of the presence of the several involvement in the response has complicated matters in brazil has been without a minister of health for the past 3 months the situation is quite desperate the numbers you have provided are correct 65. 00 them dead the number of contaminated people 40. 00 a day and it expected to continue at that level this was completely unnecessary brazil with all its problems have a. Public health that is pretty decent in brazil responded quite effectively to the hiv the aids epidemic some 35 years of rule and 2 other epidemics since and so due to. Incompetence of the. Fact that the president there is more interested in creating stability then actually got for me ok following the its i dont know that its donald trump but mr sincero when you talk about incompetence on such a damaging scale are we saying this is incompetence through stupidity or is it a conscious decision to be incompetent and and more to the point why is it now certain leaders it seems unpalatable to them to do a u. Turn and to start being transparent a lot more transparent than theyve been to date. Don. Does not have. The tools and data letal tools necessary to understand the severity to this and he is not interested he is trying to ride this wave that he follows as i mentioned donald trump that he is doing a ball in the United States and. He has already said you know people in the n. B. A. Die so there is nothing we can do he will not accept responsibility and most brazilians im all. Ears and we are following very closely our whole team that the probable. Donald trump in the upcoming president ial elections here in the United States will create some repercussions negative repercussions to the balls on our government and provide. Should be of more serious intervention brazil has the capacity to intervene in a more effective way i know that International Community would be willie to help but you know at this level of incompetence single man its very little that you can do and people who are not really expecting much tragedy of this unfortunately being normalized ok we have to leave it there are there in chevy chase in maryland thank you very much welcome south korea going ahead with its annual opening of his beaches for the summertime but with special arrangements in place because of the pandemic mcbride reports from the 2nd city of busan which is a favorite Tourist Destination. The beaches of blue sun or officially open and people love flocking to the South Koreans are among the worlds top spenders all overseas travel but most of this summer are looking to vacation a lot closer to home and still following strict rules to prevent the spread of covert 19 beach umbrellas are individually numbered so people hiring them can be traced in case they were close to someone found later to be infected for the leaf family this summer break is a new experience well tell you ben we often go abroad in summer but we cant do that this time so we decided on booth on theyve also decided to come earlier than normal a majority of people in south korea take their summer vacations in a narrow window from late july into early august but companies are now being encouraged to spread holidays out to avoid overcrowding in the most popular Tourist Destinations to san relies heavily on its Summer Season and local people are compensating for the lack of International Visitors especially from neighboring china and japan. With only a handful of new cases of infections being reported to san can also host festivals again. At the opening of this annual food and film event. Frontline medical staff are honored for making it possible. The theme this year food as a source of healing unity between cultural life has suffered in this pandemic if we dont revitalize it and people will face more alienation and oppression we want to heal our audiences through culture. Life is still far from normal but many here see this further careful reopening as a reward for south koreas steady progress against the virus. Rob joins us now live from south koreas seconds. 1st of all seem to be another sign of something returning to the new normal the old normal obviously quite welcome there. Absolutely a very much needed tonic i think we talk an awful lot about the Health Implications of this pandemic about the economic consequences how that has to be dealt dealt with at a certain point i think you also have to get round to accepting that there is a psychological emotional toll that has to be dealt with and theres Nothing Better it seems that a festival just a chance to go and listen to something see something just share time with friends eat food the things that festivals are all about a lot of festivals here as elsewhere have been canceled but as we get into summer and autumn there are a number of very important south korean festivals so people are now looking at ways that they can hold these things safely it has to be said that throughout this pandemic because south korea was at the very start of it quickly getting on top of the pandemic crushing the curve as they say that they never really came to a complete shutdown it was able has been able to keep open things like cinemas and also theaters which has been important for people here albeit with restrictions on the numbers of people who can get in but not only to keep people entertained but its also been important for things like the International Musical business because of course while the west end is being closed and broadway remains dark theaters here have kept a lot of touring International Musical productions going what kind of pressures will the beaches and the people who run the beaches in south korea. Quite a lot i mean we are into this south korea is traditionally are big travellers a big spenders when they go abroad but there its going to have to be the beach for many people give us a quick look down this beach here this is how young dave beach this is the main beach of blue sand and we can expect at the peak of the Holiday Season at the height of summer you can have according to authorities here up to a 1000000 people now normally that would be a source of civic pride but obviously in the middle of a pandemic that is enough to make the Health Officials shudder so they are looking at ways of trying to distribute numbers control numbers there are web sites that are opened that allows you to see how busy the beaches are getting around the coast if it does get too busy then they will restrict numbers and you have to book online to be able to get onto one of those beaches but we can expect beaches are going to be very popular here interestingly a number of countries because south korea is in a pretty good place right now they are dropping restrictions for example south korea is one of the countries on that list in europe where you can now travel to the problem is of course getting back here into south korea having to face 2 weeks of quarantine most people here in south korea only get 2 weeks holiday so if your choice is spending that time in quarantine or spending it on the beach then its a bit of a no brainer ok rob many things robin brought our correspondent reporting live from the beach in tucson. Egypt plans to hold the 1st election for its recently revived senate next month 2 thirds of senators will be chosen by the public and the president will appoint the rest of the 300. 00 Member Chamber was dropped from egypts constitution and 2014 it was brought back under amendments approved in a referendum last year those constitutional changes also a load of bill fattah elsisi to stay in power until 2030 stuffer is the founder and chairman of the British Arab Network he says the political situation in egypt does not fit with the selection. If youve got 70000 people are locked. Down and side jails the loss of many bloggers as we know. How locked in died in prison theres no fair trials is not friends with all and many of them we just had over the last 12 all months about 3000 people were jailed just because the they had to burn its tiny demonstration in cairo so i i dont think the public would be left with such exercise of sham democracy i think is the problem in egypt is there is no clear voice for the public theres no proper democracy and the military control all aspects of life in egypt as we know and the corruption has just arrived in every aspect in life in egypt. Egypts top court has upheld a 15 year sentence for one of the leading activist behind the uprising back in 2011.
