The worldwide number of officially confirmed fatalities from the novel coronavirus rose to 31,412 on Sunday, according to a tally compiled by AFP from official sources. More than two-thirds of the deaths from coronavirus have now been recorded in Europe. Over 667,090 declared cases have been registered in 183 countries and territories since the epidemic first emerged in China in December. Of these cases, at least 134,700 are now considered recovered. The tallies, using data collected by AFP offices from national authorities and information from the World Health Organization (WHO), likely reflect only a fraction of the actual number of infections. Many countries are only testing cases that require hospitalisation. Italy, which recorded its first coronavirus death in February, has to date declared 10,023 fatalities, with 92,472 infections and 12,384 people recovered. Like Italy, Spain has more fatalities than China with 6,528, as well as 78,747 infections. China -- excluding Hong Kong and Macau -- has to date declared 3,295 deaths and 81,394 cases, with 74,971 recoveries. The other worst-hit countries are Iran with 2,640 deaths and 38,309 cases, and France with 2,314 deaths and 37,575 cases. The United States has the highest number of infected people with 124,686 diagnosed cases, 2,191 deaths and 2,612 recoveries. Cases there have soared from 41,511 on Monday, making it the country with the fastest progression rate. Since 1900 GMT Saturday, Uruguay, New Zealand and Mali have announced their first deaths. By continent, Europe has listed 363,766 cases and 22,259 deaths to date, Asia 104,596 cases and 3,761 deaths, the Middle East 46,596 cases and 2,718 deaths, the US and Canada together 130,120 cases with 2,250 deaths, Latin America and the Caribbean 13,544 cases with 274 deaths, Africa 4,267 cases with 134 deaths and Oceania 4,208 cases with 16 deaths.

Coronavirus global death toll crosses 31,000

The death toll in Spain surged over 5,600 on Saturday after a record 832 people died in 24 hours, and the number of infections soared over 72,000, the government said. Spain has the world's second-highest coronavirus death toll after Italy with 5,690 fatalities. The number of cases have jumped to 72,248 as the country moves to significantly increase testing.

Coronavirus cases in Spain rise to 94,417, over 8,100 deaths reported

Madris, 23 (AP) Spain has recorded 440 new deaths overnight for the new coronavirus, bringing the total confirmed fatalities to 22,157, according to an official data on Thursday. With more than 4,600 new positive infections tested, the reported cases are now over 200,000, although the real number is thought to be far higher because many people have not been tested and studies suggest that people can be infected without feeling sick.On Thursday, a new genetic study published by the Carlos III Institute, Spain's main epidemiology research centre, suggested that the new coronavirus was spreading in the country since mid-February, weeks before the first local contagion clusters were identified.The country was celebrating an atypical World Book Day on Thursday, which is marked in the United Kingdom and Spain on the date in 1616 of the death of William Shakespeare and Miguel de Cervantes, but this year away from outdoor bookstands.In Barcelona, where the tradition brings people to gift each other a rose and a book to mark the patron saint of Catalonia, St George, the Red Cross is delivering books to hundreds of children.

Coronavirus death toll rises to 22,157 in Spain

Madrid, Apr 18 (AP) Spain has reached 20,000 deaths for the coronavirus pandemic and total infections increased to more than 190,000.Spain's health authorities reported 565 deaths in the last 24 hours. Only the United States and Italy have more deaths.New infections rose by nearly 4,500. More than 74,000 people in Spain have recovered.This week, health authorities said there were discrepancies in the statistics of virus deaths and infections reported by regional administrations. The central government has ordered regions to give more precise data and use the same parameters.As the outbreak's spread slows, pressure on hospitals has relaxed. Authorities have closed one part of a huge field hospital with thousands of beds set up by the military in a convention center in Madrid.But strict confinement rules are expected to be extended beyond April 26.

Spain reaches 20,000 deaths from coronavirus

Madrid, Apr 17 (AFP) Spain's death toll spiralled towards 19,500 on Friday as the government revised its data collection methodology despite controversy over a system that counts only deaths among those who tested positive.The country reported 585 new fatalities in the past 24 hours, but it was difficult to compare with previous tolls after the government amended its counting mechanism.The total number of deaths in Spain now stands at 19,478, the third-highest in the world after the United States and Italy.The government issued revised guidelines overnight for reporting deaths in order to standardise the data sent in from the country's 17 autonomous regions.The change was an apparent move to eliminate any deaths where the patient had not been tested for COVID-19. Officials said they would revise previous fatality counts, and also apply the new rules to death tolls moving forward."This could mean that some of the figures may seem a little strange," said Fernando Simon, the health ministry's emergencies coordinator, pointing to a "discrepancy" in the data supplied by one particular region.There have been growing questions over the death toll in recent days with Madrid and Catalonia, the two worst-hit regions, this week insisting they had thousands more victims than the official count.On Wednesday, Catalonia said it would use new criteria by including figures provided by the region's funeral services who count virus victims and those who have died at old people's residences or at home with symptoms compatible with COVID-19.But not all of those victims would have necessarily been tested for the virus.According to this new criteria, the region says it has suffered more than 7,500 deaths, while the ministry's count gives a figure which is some 50 percent lower -- 3,752.Without mentioning Catalonia, Simon on Friday said that the data submitted by one region "did not have the consistency that we would wish to have in a data set".Madrid has also challenged the methodology, with its regional government saying this week the number of dead -- which by Friday stood at 7,007 -- was likely to be more than 10,000."More people are dying of coronavirus than officially declared by the Spanish government," the region's vice president Ignacio Aguado told Spain's RNE radio."In many cases, unfortunately, they have been unable to do a test... even though everything indicated that they had COVID-19." He added that the "number of dead is much higher" because only people who died in hospital and tested positive are being counted in the national tally. (AFP) NSA

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Vladimir Putin is racking up strongman wins, including the opposition leader Alexey Navalny's death.</li><li>But Putin's brazen displays of power highlight the weakness of his leadership, experts said.</li></ul>Ahead of the two-year anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the country's leader, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/putin-just-had-one-of-his-best-ever-weeks-2024-2">Vladimir Putin</a>, is likely behind a series of exorbitant displays of his authoritarian power.<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/alexey-navalny-putin-main-political-foe-died-prison-russian-officials-2024-2">Alexey Navalny</a>, Putin's longtime political nemesis, died suddenly in a Russian prison earlier this month at the age of 47. Around the same time, a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/russian-helicopter-pilot-who-defected-to-ukraine-shot-dead-spain-2024-2#:~:text=The%20Russian%20pilot%20who%20defected,shot%20to%20death%20in%20Spain&amp;text=Maksym%20Kuzminov%2C%20a%20Russian%20pilot,would%20be%20set%20for%20life.">Russian pilot who defected to Ukraine</a> with a Mi-8 helicopter last year was found shot to death in Spain, reports citing Ukraine's military intelligence said.The apparent crackdown on Putin's opponents, though par for the course for the president's brutality, comes as Russia racks up a string of military wins, including <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ukraine-troops-pull-out-key-eastern-town-avdiivka-russia-2024-2">Ukraine's recent withdrawal</a> from the embattled eastern town of Avdiivka.It would certainly seem that Putin is relishing in flexing his unrivaled power. But Russia experts say the president's brazen saber-rattling is actually indicative of the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tucker-carlson-interview-proves-putin-off-the-rails-russia-historians-2024-2">inherent weakness</a> baked into his personalistic government —a de facto dictatorship in which all the power rests in Putin's hands."To maintain a cult of personality, you have to use a lot of force," said Matthew Schmidt, an assistant professor of national security and political science at the University of New Haven who previously taught planning at the US Army's School of Advanced Military Studies."And that's a fundamentally weak style of government even if the person in power is a strongman," he added.<h2>Putin is committed to maintaining an illusion of total power</h2>The pilot's death was likely a case of Russia protecting its military morale by taking out a confirmed defector and scaring other would-be traders, experts said."The message is loud and clear: We will find you anywhere in the world. We will kill you just to send a message to the next person thinking about it," Schmidt said. "That's an extraordinary power, and Putin did it effectively, making sure it wound up in the news."The display of power by the Russian state, while jarring, is not out of the norm for Putin's government, which has been <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/list-of-people-putin-is-suspected-of-assassinating-2016-3">accused of assassinations abroad</a> for decades.Both Navalny's and the pilot's deaths fit Putin's playbook to a T, exemplifying the lengths to which Russia will go to maintain the illusion of total power, Schmidt said."It absolutely is a crackdown," he said of the recent deaths. "But it's a crackdown that is always going on."The death of Navalny, who frequently challenged and openly criticized Putin, also represented a major win for the Russian president.For years, Navalny represented the most formidable threat to Putin's government, criticizing corruption in the Russian state and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/video-alexei-navalny-had-a-message-for-russians-if-he-died-2024-2">organizing powerful anti-Kremlin protests</a>.The specifics surrounding Navalny's death remain unclear. Russia's federal prison service said Navalny died after <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/alexey-navalny-death-prison-looked-happy-healthy-video-court-putin-2024-2">losing consciousness</a> following a walk.Regardless of how he wound up dead, the Kremlin was ultimately responsible for Navalny's demise, Simon Miles, an assistant professor at Duke University's Sanford School of Public Policy and a historian of the Soviet Union and US-Soviet relations, told Business Insider."If it were not for the regime, he would be alive," Miles said.<h2>Navalny's death shows Putin is easily threatened</h2>The two experts said Navalny's death, rather than simply displaying Putin's power, highlighted the Russian leader's weakness."If a guy locked up in the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/inside-russian-arctic-prison-where-alexey-navalny-spent-last-days-2024-2#:~:text=On%20Friday%2C%20Russia's%20Federal%20Penitentiary,matter%20what%20the%20weather%20is.%22">Gulag</a> is too high a threat to live, that tells me Putin thinks his position is extremely vulnerable," Miles said."You have total control over this person's life, and you choose to extinguish it?" he added. "That's coercive power, not an impressive form of power."Navalny's death was undoubtedly meant to send a message to other would-be opposition leaders, experts said, especially as Putin prepared for a presidential election in less than a month that he's all but certain to win."He can arrest and kill at will. Being able to visit terror upon anyone you want is a kind of strength," Schmidt said. "But it's a strength that will eventually turn on you."Soon after the Ukraine war began in February 2022, Russia experts told BI that <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/putin-purges-advisors-but-hes-responsible-for-misinformation-2022-4">Putin was responsible</a> for creating an autocratic culture of fear that could eventually collapse.That collapse is likely still years down the line, Schmidt said this week. But displays of mourning for Navalny across Russia, as well as <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/freezing-russians-angry-putin-is-spending-billions-in-ukraine-report-2022-12">wartime resentment</a> among Russian citizens, signal Putin's control isn't foolproof."The real Ukrainian victory will happen in the streets of Moscow," Schmidt said. "Ukrainians are not only liberating themselves; they are liberating Russians from the Putinist idea of a 'Russian world' on which Putin has waged this war."But Robert English, a professor at the University of Southern California who studies Russia, the Soviet Union, and Eastern Europe, disagreed that Navalny's death made Putin look weak.He told BI the entire saga exemplified just how emboldened Putin felt: "Putin is so confident and cocksure that he does not fear international backlash over Navalny."Viewing the latest events as somehow indicative of Russia's weakness is on par with what he described as the "central flaw in the West's coverage of this war," which has been "cheerleading and wishful thinking" for Ukraine."How many stories and confident predictions of Russia's coming economic collapse, how the sanctions would 'strangle' Russia and 'cripple' its war effort?" he said. "How many about the Prigozhin rebellion and how it showed Putin's weakness, that another coup or mutiny could bring him down?"On and on and on, always denigrating and underestimating Russia's resilience and resourcefulness."
