liz truss replaces lord frost as the uk's lead brexit negotiator. we take a look at some of the major challenges she faces. let's start with international travel, because with the omicron variant spreading across europe and much of the world at rapid speed it's causing major disruption for the travel industry. many have chosen to change or cancel christmas travel plans as more countries introduce new restrictions. one of the latest is germany, which from sunday banned most travellers from britain, denmark, and france. anyone entering germany from these countries need a negative pcr test and is required to quarantine for m days, regardless of vaccination status. it's notjust an european problem. in the us, dr anthony fauci, who advises the white house, has warned christmas travel will increase the spread of the omicron variant across the country. so far the new variant accounts for 3% of cases in the us, but that number is quickly rising. let's go live to dusseldorf and speak to axel hefer, the chief executive of the travel website trivago. good to t

reacting to the news this morning, the health secretary paid tribute to lord frost.e him go. i think he's been an outstanding public servant. he's done great things for this country, not least in helping to get brexit done but he's resigned out of principle. i think you can see that. i know all about resigning from government out of principle, and he has made that decision. and many conservative backbenchers agree with him. the pm suffered his biggest rebellion over that issue last week when 100 of his own mps voted against him. many of the things he worries about, i and many of my colleagues worry about. we want to see the conservative party as a low tax party going forward and we don't want our civil liberties to be restricted. labour says his departure leaves the prime minister in a weaker position. where the prime minister should be leading at the moment, he's in hiding, hiding from his own party, hiding from his backbenchers, and failing to lead, now, that's an abdication of responsibility and our message to the government is you don't have to be held hostage by
