The UK now has the highest number of coronavirus deaths in Europe.
BBC News reports there have been 29,427 deaths recorded across the UK.
The latest total for Italy, previously the highest in Europe, now stands at 29,315.
But experts say it could be months before full global comparisons can be made.
Both Italy and the UK record the deaths of people who have tested positive for coronavirus.
Each country also has different testing regimes, with Italy conducting more tests than the UK to date.
