Japan admits Olympic Games may be cancelled

Available for over a year

For the first time, Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has said the postponement of the Olympic Games "may become inevitable" because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Spain's government wants to extend a two-week state of emergency by a further 15 days to combat coronavirus. The country has the biggest number of cases behind China and Italy. But South Korea is now seeing fewer cases after weeks of stringent testing and GPS tracking of positive patients.
