okay, well let sir talk about this further now with our correspondent charlotte davinsky, who's in paris for some charlotte was looking at european they've had their fair share of new cases to just bring us up to date on what's happening there. will europe's fight against the idea of importing this super mutant strain of covert 19 looks like it's already lost its 1st battle. the health authorities are now suggesting that on the con, was present on the continent at least 10 days before it was identified by our researches in south africa. that means that it may have been discovered down in the south of africa, but not necessarily originated that. and that could lead to more weight added to the claims or we heard from some presidents of african countries earlier this week that they feel that they're being punished with the travel bangs that account in place. because there were searches were able to identify this new strain of covert 19. now meantime, many a questioning as we heard there, whether the vaccines are going to be efficient against this new strain, which apparently is widely diffe

fishing rights and also bickering over a controversial defense deal of france correspondent charlotte davinsky, looks back now with a turbulent last 12 months. france and the u. k. have been like 2 squabbling neighbors for a millennia. at times, those disputes have descended into full blown wars, but for over a century there has been this relative, calm, not is until now. in the past, the u. k is had plenty of success against france on the high seas, but now the french are looking to recapture access to waters between the 2 countries. for fishing rights only going to print it. we still, since the beginning of this year, don't have the licenses did. we're not fighting with the english and we're engaging in dialogue to try to make our position understood so that we can get access to these waters. so i think we may have to go further find other approaches that may not have been previously addressed. the agreement signed today provides for italia, 3 measured europe must apply those measures for boil. have fishy tails. so rotten, that france even threatened to turn off the u. kay's electricity supp

president putin, for guarantees that nato will not add new members near or on russia's borders. charlotte davinsky takes up the story quite a lot to digest from that press conference with the nato secretary general. but he talked about what he sees is being patton of aggression coming from russia. and he said, nito will continue to do all it's necessary to ensure that the rights of its allies, its members, are protected. but nature supporting his opinion. does not mean that it's a threat to russia recently moved from macedonia, and also montenegro have both been accepted into the nato, a life that is despite protests from the russian government about that. let's have a listen to what else yen stilton burke had to say. nato has proven over the last years that are open door policy is not only something we are support in words, but those in deeds parted by inviting to new countries. montenegro north muscle now to become a member, so we have enlarged the line. so the last few years with 2 new members, despite protests from, from russia, and also we are supporting ukraine in ukraine's efforts to come c
