situation in france and germany i've been speaking to our correspondents hugh schofield in paris and jenny hillimits. some experts say, actually, if cases continue to rise, as they're doing now, and we could see a similar surge of infection happening again at around easter, it's quite clear that germany, like so many other of its neighbours, is now in the grip of what appears to be a very vicious third wave of infection. and that's of particular concern here, because as you've seen in that report, just 8% of the german population has had a first dose of vaccine. so far, a very slow national roll—out of the vaccination programme. and so experts are extremely worried about what will happen next. all of this is compounded, i think, by the fact that germany had started to actually ease some lockdown restrictions. the easter holidays are coming up. the government is appealing to people not to travel either inside the country or abroad, not to get together with people other than immediate family. but they are facing, i think, a bit of an uphill battle on that. and angela merkel is due to sit down wit
