displayed amidst the eerie quiet in the city that never sleeps. here and front line workers got front row seats to the traditional event in new york city social distancing in times square this is the new year in the age of coded 19. at the copacabana in rio de janeiro the beach was nearly empty as the city rang in 2021. paris again lived up to its nickname the city of light welcoming the new year with a spectacular fireworks display on the shelves. police were on hand to enforce the country's strict 8 pm code curfew. in berlin the annual fireworks were more subdued than in years past after the government banned the sale

be slowed down. but it will just be integrated into how much of travelling between france and england looks like you change the exchange between the countries will not hold. because it thank you very much for having come out here on this symbolic day and the true will stay here of course it's a symbol of connectedness of the 2 sides and maybe every day practicalities traffic will keep flowing will overcome the feeling of being torn apart that seems to dominate a bit on this particular day. in cali and if you want to dive deeper into breaks it. channel where our correspondents in the u.k. and in the e.u. are who you just lay out who the likely win is and will be in the deal let's take a look at some of the international stories german chancellor going to battle has handed over the e.u. presidency to portugal germany's presidency ended on december 31st in
