Coronavirus accelerates in Africa, new arrest moves in the United States and the Playstation 5 is revealed

Did you miss the news of this early morning? We have put together a summary to help you see more clearly.

Concern is mounting in Africa andWorld Health Organization (WHO) sounds the alarm. The speed at which the number of confirmed cases of Covid-19 has doubled shows the acceleration of the spread of the new coronavirus on the continent. According to a count made on the basis of official sources, the bar of 200,000 contaminations in Africa was thus crossed Tuesday. “It took 98 days to reach the 100,000 mark and only 18 to cross the 200,000 mark,” said Dr Matshidiso Moeti, WHO regional director for Africa. If the youth of the population is a bulwark against a massacre, vigilance remains more than ever required.

In a particularly tense climate in the United States following the death of George Floyd, Oklahoma City police released on Wednesday the video of the arrest of Derrick Scott in May 2019, who died when he arrived at the hospital. After the footage was released, the victim’s family called for an investigation, after police estimated last year that the officers were not at fault. The debate on police violence and the numerous deaths by asphyxiation of African-Americans during their arrest remains open a few months before the presidential election.

Even if it will probably have to wait until the end of 2020 to have it in hand, Sony is already starting to make us envy. The Japanese manufacturer unveiled the design of the Playstation 5… But not its price or its launch date. 20 minutes presents this new console with a very cleavage design, which will be available with and without a disc player.
