he joins us now from carlyle in the u. k. hello to you. welcome to the w. so we just mentioned it for a time ago that france is now banning most travels from the u. k. from entering the country, do you feel this is the right move to slow the spread of the army kron variant? it probably would have been if the done at a much earlier stage, but at the moment the omicron cases in france for about 7 to 10 percent of the total cases. so it's already endemic in princeton is already spreading in france really. so introducing a travel band at this stage really doesn't make too much sense. you might keep out a few cases, but with so much domestic spread going on already. it doesn't actually make to sense that too much. so the things would travel plans if you can do trouble and it will blow you a bit of time because make no mistake. this on the chron variant is going everywhere. so trouble bank can give you a few days or even a week or 2 extra. of course, the only is useful if you use that, so i'm very purposefully. so it depends what you do with the time that you buy
