Two more patients have tested positive for coronavirus in England, bringing the total number of UK cases to 15.

Globally, more than 80,000 people in more than 40 countries have now been infected.

Covid-19, the respiratory disease caused by the virus, has killed more than 2,700 people. Most of the deaths have been in China, where the virus originated in December.

President Emmanuel Macron says that France is preparing for a jump in the number of cases.

“We are facing a crisis, an epidemic, that is coming,” he said while visiting a hospital in Paris where the first French national with coronavirus died on Tuesday.

“We are going to have to deal with it as best we can,” he added.

France has 18 confirmed cases, with two deaths including a Chinese tourist who was visiting. On Wednesday some public events were cancelled, including the last day of a major carnival in Nice on Saturday.

US President Donald Trump alleges China committed 2020 voter fraud | BBC News

Published

US President Donald Trump has delivered a primetime address in which he accused China of interfering in the 2020 election and alleged “shocking vulnerabilities” in American voting systems.

Trump, who spoke from the White House on Thursday, has repeatedly made unsubstantiated claims about voter fraud and foreign meddling in the 2020 election which he lost to Joe Biden.

In the half-hour speech, delivered three months before the midterm elections, he said he had declassified hundreds of intelligence files which supported his claims that Beijing had tried to sway the election in Biden’s favour.

The US intelligence community has previously concluded China did not interfere in the 2020 election.
