Coronavirus: US hits record high in daily cases
The Centers for Disease Control say that the true number of infections in the US could be as high as twenty million.
The White House says the increase in numbers is a result of more testing, with states such as Texas and Florida seeing the biggest rise in cases. Also: Iraqi security forces have raided the headquarters of an Iranian backed militia, and Australia and New Zealand will be the joint hosts of the next football Women's World Cup in 2023.
