good building, the biggest thing in the world is this spiritual freedom and architect motions. it starts december 18th, on d. w. a. ah ah, this is deed of the news alive from berlin. trouble between france and the u. k. grinds to any a halt. crowds lined up to board the last trains and fairies across the channel. i had over midnight that night. only sensual genies allowed on the new roofs aimed at the slow into spread over me crunch. also coming up the res,

as on to get protection for all in europe. as only con spreads across the continent, the new variance is now set to be the most infectious covert strain pond. a collection of looted african ozzy final showing not to museum in hamburg. the been in bronzes will soon be making our way back to nigeria. ah, i am eddie micah junior and you are welcome to the program. a ban on non essential travel between france and the united kingdom has come into effect. we just a week to go to a chris boston, you restrictions set of the last minutes rush, long lines in london, us people cute for hours, or you star train to paris and in dover, hundreds of causeway backed up on the ferry, opened to beat the midnight's deadline, the french rent imposed the curbs to help slow the spread of the on the conveyance

. the u. k. has seen east fi concurrent virus infections with more than 93000 new cases on friday. santa claus is coming to town or maybe not of it's paris, he's going to and his last stop was london, non essential travel between france and britain grind to a halt on saturday. a strict new rules go into force at paris is goth. do know, christmas holiday makers were grabbing their last chance to get to london on the eurostar on friday. i feel very lucky that i managed to get out of france and the last day that it's possible. um, but yeah i it is a bit worrying. it's a bit scary and who knows, it's going to happen in january when, when everything gets that's normal afternoon. yeah. so we'll see. i think it's a bit late really considering melnick comes already here with rollin in britain. so

i don't see why a runs. why would either the circus with on to the skate game. so we thought this is a grand adventure. we were looking for an escape game, and we found out exactly how to get out of france and back from london. or they'll make it out, but re entering france from britain won't be quite as jolly across the channel, low a long queues at london saint pancras station. as people there sought to travel in the opposite direction and get to france while i could from saturday. even if the british can convince french authorities that, that travel is essential. they'll be subject to self isolation on arrival. now france isn't the only country in europe prison for a new wave of infections across the continent to governments. i introduce in restrictions such as linton opening times for restaurants, pops on venues. vaccination children is another,

majorities are taken to reduce the severity of infections. i quite pinch and it was all done, you know, who's i had these kids in denmark i getting vaccinated against coven? 19 i thought i got the job because of the new corona variant. and i don't want to be so sick that i can't eat dinner. i agreed on a chron is spreading at a fast speed and denmark, infection rates, i eating daily record hiv, pushing more and more parents to get that children job to where personal to slow the spread of the virus. the danish government has announced that cinema theatres in concert halls will be closed. restaurant opening hours will also be restricted in neighboring germany. the health minister has raised the alarm

alicia phone and i'm, i'm assuming a massive fittest wave. that's awesome. we have to prepare ourselves for a challenge and all that we have not yet faced in this formula in these are formed on the kafka infection rates have been rising rapidly across germany to the easy spread of on the kron woodson writes, soaring even higher as a result, the german government has now classified denmark and other countries, including france and norway as high risk areas. travelers will have to quarantine for 10 days upon arrival unless they have been vaccinated over covered from a corona, virus infection. chi cooper, schmidt's as a journalist and molecular biologist, he joins us from right here in belin l. okay. so our travel bands and restrictions really justified but i think we have to look at these 2 things

separately. and there's a lot of uncertainty still about what exactly the impact of i'm a con will be what we do know is that it spreads really, really fast, and that it is going to lead to a lot of infections. so that's the reason that for instance, in a country like germany where we still have a high number of you know, and immunized people, we need to be really careful. and that's the reason that restrictions are being put in place. and that seems to be the right call at the moment when it comes to travel restriction that is much more complicated. we do know that this virus is basically everywhere at this point. and you know, all you can do with travel restrictions really slow down the spread of virus to your country a little bit and a little bit of bread within the country. but i think we're probably past that point. so i think that we should really be concentrating on what we can do within our own borders to, to prepare for this way. ok. so let me ask you a question. that is on many people's minds, basically does only cron affects the vaccinated and,

and vaccinated in the same way. again, you have to be really careful and look at, you know, different scenarios here. most of the data we have at the moment is for people who've been vaccinated, either with astrazeneca or with spies, maternal vaccine. and what we see there is that the protection from symptomatic infections, or from the mouth disease let's say, is very, very low. if you had to shut the best, so danica, it's quite low. if you've had 2 shots of pfizer, and if you got a booster, it is much, much higher. but the most important thing, of course, at this point is the question, what happens with severe disease? and the data there for the moment, i mean, we're still getting a clearer picture, but i'm quite hopeful that the protection from severe disease if you're vaccinated and boosted is really high. and so there is a huge difference between people who've been vaccinated and boosters and people who are vaccinated as we entered this new wave with this barrier,

which was still trying to understand better exactly equivalent before you go. so what really needs to be done to prevent new variance appear in every couple of months? how can we break that cycle? well, it's a complicated question because the biggest thing we can do to reduce the variance emerging, of course, is to reduce the number of infections worldwide. as long as this virus replicates in hundreds of millions of people, you're always going to see a lot of mutations and then you have natural selection acting on this. and in the end, you might get very, instead of 8 him unity or have other advantages when it comes to transmit ability. so ok, that's one thing that we can do right now. the hope of course, is that with new vaccines, we might be able to avoid infections and especially severe disease better. and in that case, at some point, maybe we can treat this virus as a lot of other viruses that we are infected with every year. that's the hope. ok.

generalist and molecular biologist cai cooper. smith, thank you. look at some more stories making headlines around the world. the philippines disaster agency says that that to from type when ry has risen to 51, the storm also left massive destruction in that spot. an official see, many people are still missing. more than 300000 people, let the homes to escape the typhoon, which was one of the most powerful recent yes to strike the philippines as receiving help from russia. and it's my grand stand off with poland, russia i sent in long range bomb best to help patrol the western borders of its ally so that we can relate to be the use as many of engineer in the crisis. i bring in my grants to the polish border and telling them they could enter the from there on the 20 trop minus. having rescued from the flooded coal mining china songs the province, 2 others were confirmed that the men had been trapped for nearly 2 days. state

colonial times. now hamburg is showcasing its nearly 200 but in bronzes one last time before returning them. by come by these object. these objects were taken by force, so it's only right that they should be returned now says on as a full collection to their place of origin, this distance busy. it's because i'm tough to look in v m. a delegation arrives at the museum from nigeria. the visitors are seeing many of the art works for the 1st time. well, it's emotional for me because this or not, or not it walks a lot for them. this are pieces that actually touches on all aspects of their life rigid form of ritual, religion, political, historical a. so many other things, visitors to museums often see a history that's been stolen, asked exhibit points out. awareness of that and justice has been rising,

including in germany. some $1200.00, been in bronze, us can still be found in museums in berlin, leipzig, cologne, and bremen. what ended up here and how research on the pieces origins has gained on you importance as he couldn't from eden, albeit you can trace each object who brought it here and what that person's relationship to it was damaged said one hot, that the idea is to gradually of repatriate art that's proven to be of looted origin, an act that benefits both sides. then these ill be acted. so look, can the return of these artifacts will have a big effect as it has huge symbolic value for all nigeria because it acknowledges that suffering was caused here. we also want to express that this is an act of reconciliation and justice being done if a soon on is it may be a new era for cultural exchange. some of these objects might even return to germany sometime in the future,

but only as loans from their rightful owners. now to some football news out of france, a compromise between paris, f. c and olympics in there at to be abandoned due to crowd trouble on friday evening. unruly fans storm the pitch appear to be fighting each other, some of them through flesh on to the pitch as well. ultimately the announce i came on to the field to ask france to leave the arena. friends football has been marked by a crowd trouble the season last month. my c, dimitri pay, it was hit by a bottle thrown from the stands. in bundis league football league lead us by and munich b divorce book for now in the final game of the seasons. first half. and it was the special night for the our top scorer, robert leben dorski back to the final goal of the match in the dying minutes. and what a goal was, the pull volume in an unstoppable shot strike means lemon. dorski has broken, get less half century old record of most of us legal goes in
