this is due to be a news live from the u.k. government unveils tighter covert restrictions for christmas british prime minister boris johnson warns against travel to high risk areas saying the country tend not continue with christmas as planned a new strain of the virus is fueling fears it's also coming up israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu becomes the 1st in his country to get vaccinated for covert 90 as israel kicks off its vaccination campaign well look at why many people there are on a happy with how that works campbell a pandemic. and in the fullness league a buyer in munich capped off of great 2020 with a whip. labor corps and putting them top of the table over the winter break.

point click rough welcome to the program millions of people in anglin will have to cancel their christmas plans after british prime minister boris johnson announced tighter coronavirus restrictions in london and the south east under the new rules households are not allowed to mix for the holidays and non-essential shops are so close it's a u. turn for the prime minister who just days ago said it would be inhuman to cancel christmas johnson said the new measures were necessary after a new strain of the virus was speeding up the spread of infections well we're fairly certain the variant is transmitted more quickly there is no evidence to suggest it is more lethal or causes more severe illness equally there is no

evidence to suggest the vaccine will be any less the fictive against the new variant it is with a very heavy heart i must tell you we cannot continue with christmas as planned in england those living in tearful areas should not mix with anyone outside their own household at christmas though support bubbles will remain in place with those a particular risk of loneliness or isolation across the rest of the country the christmas rules allowing up to 3 households to meet will now be limited to christmas day only over the 5 days as previously set aside there will be no relaxation on the 31st of january so people must not break the rules that new year must know must not break the rules and it's very very important to emphasize that. earlier we spoke to our london correspondent charlotte shells a pill and asked her what we know about this new strain of 1000 that was discovered

in the u.k. . well it's still in the early stages of finding out say exactly how this new variant was but one thing that did become clear for the 1st time today is that preliminary data shows that it is more transmissible one estimate that we had in the press conference with boris johnson just that was that it could be up to 70 percent more transmissible than the existing variant that of course is very shocking hearing for a lot of people here but again this tends to be put into context we were told that there is no evidence so far that this is any more dangerous an existing virus variant that people are more likely to have an adverse effect a serious effect so that they could end up in hospitalized or sadly losing their lives there is also nothing to suggest at this stage that treatments vaccines will struggle to deal with this new very until they die out of course it's being examined very closely one thing that we did hear in that press conference which of

course is interesting for an international audience is that it is possible that this variant could be in other countries that i know details were given on that say of course though the the goal is to try and limit the spread of this virus by the broad and across the u.k. and that's exactly why people who are in areas where we're seeing this new variant already are being told not to travel the big question though is whether or not people will listen it had been sold to them here in the u.k. that christmas would be a moment of relaxation after what's been a terrible year for so many people christmas was really a chance to relax the rules a little bit that there are now today has been canceled. now the u.k. isn't the only nation tightening restrictions countries across europe are introducing new measures to contain the virus sweden has changed course and is now urging people to wear face masks on public transport and italy has banned travel between regions and ordered shops bars and restaurants to close until january 6th.

originally it was more a quick. you know when not if new measures would be announced with all important christmas holidays days away we the government has ordered a national lockdown. it is not an easy decision it is a painful decision to strengthen the regime of measures necessary for the upcoming holidays and to better protect ourselves and keep in sight the january recovery. much of europe has imposed tough restrictions to curb the onslaught of the virus over the festive period. though austria will introduce its rules one day after christmas even sweden who until now had taken a laissez faire approach is recommending masks on public transport officials go

stop short of shutting businesses. count very serious look look down for example would have effect in the long run because people would not put up with in italy memories of the spring's deadly 1st wave are still fresh many said they welcome the government interventions in the us that we will be forced to have a different christmas we will make up for it next christmas is not a tragedy. gauge and i think a lot done is the right thing we must defeat the virus and respect rules always whatever it takes. for the future which it will be a difficult year and new year's eve as well and i'm placing all my hopes on a better a path any. officials to hope to relax the rules in the new year but with household permitted to keep mixing in the coming days there is no guarantee that the end is near. let's have a look now at some other stories making headlines berlin has paid tribute to the

and other big countries a wiping out fish stock. so we need to know family life is hard and there is little hope we lived mainly off the fishing and built our houses that way solved our problems sent our children to school. most of the migrants are young men driven by a desire to support their families as well as misconceptions about europe. and the need to many young people believe that europe is looking for more work is because of the high death toll associated with covert 19. they know the voyage to europe is dangerous but for a better life they're willing to risk everything. in this league of football byron munich travel to labor cause and in a big tent knock their host off top spot and go into the winter break in 1st place

consists of 29 minute hobbs the braunschweig squad snaps the jangling dissolute often hoffenheim a very skilled. historic event is also watched by klaus bender he coaches the national team as well as the hoffenheim squads. the decisive difference from my point of view is the movement of the crutches my is the right position rather crutches blocking my movement with non-disabled players don't. know how many people complain about one of my players can moan all day about their missing leg it won't grow back. it's game time for. the head of their 1st competitive match the coach sets the tone . for me personally it's more important not to concede them for us to score if we lose the ball the matter where the pitch we have to move back. once we're there we
