US daily coronavirus infections hit new record

Newsday

Available for over a year

The US has registered fifty thousand new Covid-19 cases in one day - a fifth of those in California. We get the latest from the State. Vladimir Putin could stay in office until 2036 - after voters overwhelmingly endorsed constitutional changes he'd proposed. But is he really as popular as the voting figures suggest? And will Istanbul's famous Hagia Sophia - currently a museum and heritage site visited by millions of tourists - become a mosque once again ?
