sleep or by admitting it kept up a great 2028 with a win at leverkusen putting them top of the table over the winter break. i'm rebecca rate is welcome to the program british prime minister barak's johnson has reversed plans to ease coronavirus restrictions over the christmas period the turnaround he says is due to a new strain of the virus which has seen a surge in cases has imposed an effective lockdown on london and southeast england where the new variant is spreading more quickly in an interview with british television the health minister matt hancock said the mutated virus could only be controlled through social distancing and suggested the title measures could be in place for some time to come. shoppers in london made a final dosh to the stores before the new rich. strictures went into force that

made nice under the latest rules many will be forced to cancel their christmas plans indoor meetings between different households are now banned as all travel from areas under stay at home orders the number of kids are going up so i guess it's needed it's hard to start grateful because it's not good news for people but. i guess there's no way to avoid that kind of have to say. what can we do. that for . the best. hope our belief that was. the decision to add little christmas get togethers in london and surrounding areas is a major climbdown for president prime minister barak johnson. we don't want to as i say to burn christmas too to cancel it and i think that would be frankly inhuman biddies with a very heavy heart i must tell you we cannot continue with christmas as planned

millions of he johnson said a new viral strain had forced him to change his mind when the science changes we must change our response. when the virus changes its method of attack we must change our method of defense and as your prime minister i sincerely believe there is no alternative open to me scientists say the evidence shows the new variant of the corona virus is more infectious than other strains it has been linked to a surge of infections in recent weeks in southeast england. and now millions of people living in the area will spend christmas and last day in the seasonal sparkled told by the pandemics force. often want to go straight to london now and our correspondent charlotte tells them hill who's standing by charlotte

quite a sudden turnaround of people in that report same resigned to the news so what's the wider mood there in london this morning. you know we're back a well for so many people here this is heartbreaking news they had been told that there would be a 5 day period where some of the covert restrictions would be very lax they'd be able to see family and doors that now has been ripped away from them just days before christmas people are having to rethink their plans just behind me there's a big queue of people that the local bitches here are having to quickly soak up on an urgency food no one few people were expecting that just days before christmas these plans would have to be changed there were some people we did see images of people getting on trains out of london late last night before these measures came into place the vast majority though as we had there are resigned to these restrictions and i understand why because the concern about christmas slowly is now being matched about concern for what this new variant of this virus really means

how it's going to impact us in the months going forward what it will mean not just for the existing restrictions there in place but what could come in future to tackle the fact it is going to be more trying this transmissible and that is something of course that isn't just being watched closely here the eyes of the world are on the way and this new variant to find out exactly what it means and how it's spreading and indeed where it spreads here on christmas is being the initial hurdle obviously this has a bigger ramifications but it's still of this new strain has been spreading since the beginning of the month now the health minister has been talking today did he say anything about why it's taken the government so long to respond. well the health minister this morning said information about this new variant is still coming in now as we speak he said that they actually found out just how transmissible it believed it could be on friday then said that they took swift action on saturday but of course if it's so many people who are angry that the plans have been changed they want to know why this wasn't predicted in some form

looking at the case rises that have skyrocketed in certain parts of the country why people when warned earlier that this 5 day relaxation just wasn't realistic so a lot of anger among the public and opposition politicians here as well. now obviously a lot of worry about this new strain do we know anything more about it how dangerous it could be. yeah well we've had that transmission could be as high as 70 percent higher than the existing very and that of course is an alarming figure for sure a lot of people here that do have to be some carry out from scientists mutations do happen it's not believed at this stage that this is a very into any more deadly or more dangerous than the existing variant and it is believed currently that the vaccines and treatments that have been other are being rolled out across the u.k. at the moment will still be effective but this is of course a huge cause of concern 1st minute said nicholas sturgeon of scotland saying that

exile. but protests against president bush and co were continuing. with the much missed only coming out to march on sunday's is as much a part of everyday life as having breakfast a neighborhood just won't keep quiet it's here that you finally get to meet your neighbors mr richardson says for all the demonstrative good humor fear is never very far away in minsk most people here don't want to be recognized you know you can reach be filmed wearing them asks one person who is willing to take that risk is media that 20 she's only ever known one leader at xander. was to shoot him back in august we felt the change was really close it felt like it was in breach of just a day or 2 more and everything would change. 4 months later we're not where we wanted to be. and there we had never been kissed him was. police

emerge out of on mock bans scattering the marches in all directions dozens of smaller demonstrations in parallel across the capital means making the police is that much harder for the hundreds of protesters still routinely arrested each week and the stakes are rising the courts hand out ever harsher sentences. look at the police the fear only really hits you when you get. home and read about everything that's happened that day online. i always carry a set of instructions with me that tell you what to do and who to call in case you are arrested. eventually the protesters recruited continue this time without the help of modern technology so often protest days and the government has switched off mobile phone networks. the reaction to their protests from the locals is over what . we got really lucky one time the police

were using stun grenades we got hit by some shrapnel that was nowhere to hide and all we could do was no can people still as we moved from house to house and eventually there are about 30 of us hiding in one woman's house she looked after us and wouldn't let us risk leaving the house unless we had a lift to pick us up. this is one of the senior. but not everyone is as impressed. as the march reaches its conclusion the question is as ever how to get home without getting arrested. because it really feels like we've changed as a country could never happens now that can't be reversed conduct a profession which. no one can say with any certainty how long these protests will continue or what they might still achieve before most of these young better russians are protesting giving up doesn't seem to be an option right. the u.s.

has the highest number of corporate 19 deaths worldwide. this is partly because president continues to downplay the threat of the virus the consequences are dramatic. south dakota one of america's least populated states but yet the virus has spiraled out of control here like nowhere 'd else in the u.s. in the city of sue falls a mask mandate was put in place recently. without sanctions many citizens remain defiant i think it's a good idea that people wear masks but some people balk at the idea of being told to do so i think with some of the shut downs are doing and the picking and choosing that they're doing is making it very difficult for a lot of businesses like most of the people nowadays like even ehlers are not right now but i think it's for the best like there's happy. south dakota now sees the highest hospitalisation rate of the u.s. and there is no relief in sight. out of schroeder is one of

them he and his colleagues are working 12 hour shifts trying to save those who are at the brink of death. a task which comes with the personal toll we deal with a lot of dying right now unfortunately not everybody's recovering how we'd like it's a little harder every day people are coming in and typically are requiring much oxygen and a lot of them end up getting a breathing tube. and from there you know it's just a battle for their life i kind of see and understand his weekly press conference mayor paul 10 hakan of the republican party updates his community about the latest developments the mayor has been criticized over his handling of the pandemic in this part of the country i think there's a fierce independence a lot of people have made the mistake of calling a cowboy country at one point and people didn't appreciate that but the point of that term meaning we're independent we don't like people telling us what to do.

christina bjorkman wishes for more government action against the pen demick in october she lost her husband took over at 19 after a 30 day long struggle at the hospital her ordeal. where. she says his death could have been avoided with stricter rules. the whole mask mandate got political and should've never been political and should have been a medical thing. and i think it just got so blown out of proportion and i think maybe it came from our president. he started it. christina bjorkman is pinning her hopes now on the president elect and a nationwide mask mandate once he takes office before then thousands more could die from cold at 19 in south dakota and around the rest of the united states.

the coronavirus situation is also a concern in turkey. the government only recently began publishing the full number of daily infections. doctors in the country's population are. celebrating her birthday she turns a today or 2 biggest wishes harry potter kate and meeting her best friends. the latter is more difficult to organize since stricter coronavirus measures have come into force in turkey young people under the age of 20 are only allowed to leave their homes for 3 hours a day. i know that but i used to be able to go outside whenever i wanted it that was much better but i also miss school now everything is done why assume and it's

so annoying they are. not he has his mother's trying to organize life as best as she can between work and curfew. curfews for children are not the only new anti coronavirus rule and turkey those older than 65 can also only go outside at certain times public transportation is forbidden for young and old people and on weekends everyone with few exceptions has to stay at home. it looks pretty bleak these days in istanbul's usually very busy neighborhoods restaurants bars many shops closed. the government now reports about $30000.00 new infections per day. it is ridiculous many of us are angry about how the government is managing the crisis but there is nothing we can do. the government is

concerned with its reputation they want to look good that is why there is no transparency of all mother publishing the need to but they should have informed people much better right from the beginning then everyone would have known what to expect and how to act security. a miracle in their deals with many covered 19 patients he's a family doctor and belongs to the turkish medical association he says the authorities are still hiding the true extent of the crisis. we still have a lot more cases than the government says according to our estimates we have about 50260000 new infections per day while our doctors and hospitals are at the absolute limit we have to urgently take radical counter measures and that almost all of those things the current restrictions are already plenty tough the party's over the kids have to go back inside next year she hopes for

a birthday with out the coronavirus. our last journey was to germany the country is now in a hard lockdown almost everything is closed citizens are being told to stay home. the world famous christmas market nurnberg has also been cancelled. this is a christmas eve as it gets here and back in 2020 usually the central market square is bustling with the city's famous christmas market at this time of the year but it was cancelled weeks ago and now the city center has become almost ghostly. only fruit and vegetables on offer but no one comes to buy him. has been working here for 3 decades he says he's never seen his city so empty. feels it's all full for us there's no christmas here now no tourists it's terrible

just look the market square is completely empty. and it's the same all over the city the state government has asked variance to only leave their homes if they have valid reasons like going grocery shopping visiting the doctor or going to work wearing a mask is compulsory in most areas of the city center partial school closures a ban on alcohol in public places and a nighttime curfew complete the strictest lockdown in germany police have increased their presence in the city center to remind people to stick to the rules but for now this little resistance they tell us. of course there are people who intentionally defy the rules there have been incidents of people refusing to cooperate when police tell them to wear masks but luckily those people are really the exception on the fellah bones' all the people we speak to think the authorities should be even tougher. in the monitors that we think the lockdown is

absolutely justified there's just no alternative at the moment and the restrictions should be tightened even further for shift and so. i'm totally fine with it because there are so many people suffering and people not taking this seriously should see what it looks like in hospitals. and that discriminate and getting worse every day that scares people including those who are suffering from the effects of the lockdown that is already in effect like market trader that you need to go on the 2 things are hard lock down is the best option now there are 3 and we've just got to get through this and maybe things will get better that gets better. maybe even in time for christmas for that known back us a willing to make sacrifices in the weeks ahead. played.

what else is coming up on the show. how my very core is the type of hand that is considered a spanish delicacy and. colin snoo is landmark 7 there who would form in the reconstruct of the rock tell us. this is the sound of bells ringing in the leaning tower of pisa in the past bells used to be a big part of people's lives they would ring to wake us up call us to meals and prayer and send us to bat the merry nellie families bell foundry in italy is considered the oldest in the world and has been making bells for many centuries. my family has been making bells for sos and heres. what was unique is that our

craftsmanship and materials have remained unchanged since the middle ages. we want to preserve this new me that was passed on to us from our ancestors over coming generations. to my nellie pontifical foundry is situated in around 200 kilometers east of rome and is one of italy's oldest family businesses brothers pasquale and armando now run the company are the 26th generation the foundry produces some 50 bells per year each bearing the pontifical emblem also for me here $33.00 is one of the few really the only one of the piers the people kuta that. i lost for almost a 100 years now it's adorns our family back. in 1924 pius 11th granted my great grandfather. use of the emblem of his

services to the church but very curious about everything and sort of. it takes between 3 and 10 months and some 15 workers to make just one belt this depends on its exact size each one is hand crafted 1st of brick or as assembled and covered in clay then the team gets working on ornamentations. on. anybody. but them with every bell has a distinct aesthetic. we scratch customers individual ornamentation requests then i make plasticine models of them sometimes i use wax or clay if we are creating a large bow. these my. bottles are then used to make plaster casts. so. the casts are then filled with hot liquid wax once it cools and becomes

rigid the only mentation is are pasted onto the clay core a 2nd thin layer of clay is then added on top the wax leaves a distinct impression on the soft outer shell and i woke up up with month there with my t.v. on has become hard. to wax so it melts the stock you know slightly ripley is lifted off and released around in the clique or muck leaving a space in between. this casting mold is then buried in the ground. and then with the priest in attendance things get spiritual. it's such a blow to be able to bury 6 makes the special moment even more meaningful all he said lurks in our prayers. these people care if.

this arrangement of the fires imbued with the holy spirit the only forces admitted by the flame it was passed on to us that this is the holy mother madonna at work when we can always rely upon. the. top. of. the liquid copper tin alloy heated to 1200 degrees celcius is then poured into the bell cast buried in the earth then the team waits 5 days for the bronze to cool. money nelly pontifical bells can be found the world over 100 dorn's a new church where the family business is based others can be found in rome's church after the time of day monty the leaning tower of pisa and the vatican gardens. it's emotional listening to our bells ringing i was told god it is especially because many bells horrors of bells that are needed by our

ancestors i mean more. of vueling but it's difficult to describe in words 8. for a 1000 years the sound of the money nelly church bells ringing hasn't chanted the world and that will likely never change. reality is just too boring for the british invents of paul bacon instead he flees into the world of fantasy cars simular to lots of the car design as in our series go went into overdrive bacon these aunts and builds all of his eccentric vehicles himself but they not only meant for museums they are out on the road so keep your eyes peeled. and otherworldly vehicle.

built by british car designer paul bacon and inspired by disney's fairy tale movie cinderella all based his design on cinderella's carriage though giving it a distinct steampunk twist. rather. makes almost automatic a cloak. of the motor club no longer. call it that and they hear a little bit trying to just do another one but it really is a big brain is quite an experience sad to draw a grand. total night in memory but not in bed with. each took 4 years to complete the auto metron as bacon calls his creation he recently sold it to collector allen hall with this call i wanted to my eyes mill

which. possibly there's just there's just so many bits from so many places how do we need. the switches and solid which are on the ball. and like military memorabilia show it looks like showing they all look so simple that was time together about a 1000 times before it worked but it always works now already. every component on the engine again i wanted to look like a separate piece of all the whole you know if it sits in the hands and it looks like a piece of all then it can go on the call i wanted to prove that i could build a call from scratch and be totally different than the original. one any new project is sketching his ideas on paper and then paul get started in his small

workshop here in leicester in the east midlands to bring his ideas to life he's been building unique one of a kind vehicles for over 10 years now. the geometry on it was his 1st creation that was just pure shoddy and not call goes by with the story that just that moment of someone saying it now it's you know what i always thought was my drawing for how we just maximum impact of this sort of larger call just float in. 2013. on. the 200. with the plexiglas and protruding from end is quite a look at it's inspired by science fiction stories and comic books. is a child i always imagine. cause with but definitely off. a

lot crazier but i don't know it's like a future that went off it branched off and got stuck in a different reality in all reality so a little bit more boring. answer against this boring reality is designing mind boggling vehicles like this curious looking pickup which he uses to run daily errands. it's essentially a converted london taxi cab. to. build a custom call goes to so much time reading it helps you to risk a reality check if my budget i should enjoy being down there you know you reach 66 in america in something different on the road or not at all i think you just brought in so people who stole it and you know it does good with. the ball is happy when others take joy in his custom made cars.

the women ship the cold shoulder to the rail company. called latest creation the autumn metron has heads turning bringing some extra fun and excitement to the street drugs oh my call is on the menu even if the moment. came the moment he never let go if someone like me never got to the gallery save face and know that one guy pulling the piece of old mark just cost them a lot. more but it. definitely makes the loader but oblige them to make the broader more entertaining by using. a high octane version of cinderella's fairy tale carriage speeding through england thanks to paul bacon's rich imagination and skillful craftsmanship. play.
