BBC World Service - Newsday, US record over 200,000 Covid-19 deaths

The grim milestone is the highest figure of any country in the world.

President Donald Trump said the new death toll was a "horrible thing" and claimed China "should have stopped" the virus. We hear from a doctor who'd predicted this number would be reached by November if masks were not used universally. 

Turkey's restrictions to slow the virus means the wedding industry worth over $12 billion is being badly affected as we hear from the man who runs Turkey's biggest wedding planning website.

And we find out about the high tech city that the singer Akon has started building in Senegal, complete with its own currency the Akoin.
