Rushing to get back home. With just over 24 hours warning the u. K. Announced the mandatory 14 day quarantine for all those returning from france. That sent a residence that xing for french airports ferry ports and train stations with many connections sold out. At the channel crossing in cali long lines of cars queue to get across the border in time for many travelers the new quarantine measure an ounce by Prime MinisterBoris Johnson is puzzling. I would rather hear done in regions of france problem just to hold a private shutdown for the children different regions that have higher numbers hard cases so id rather we looked at the Bigger Picture i think i must be better ways to live but i suppose i understand the respect why its important to do it. It seems bizarre that we can go home today. And not be applies to quarantine but tomorrow is a different. In a similar move germany has now declared the whole of spain with the exception of the Canary Islands a high risk region. Those returning from spain will have to be tested for the virus or go into quarantine the country has seen cases rising for weeks the government has now introduced new measures like closing nightclubs and prohibiting smoking in Public Places to try to curb the spread. Of clever groups from which i want to make clear that what we are going through now is not what it was in march or april in terms of pressure on the hospitals the situation is totally different but we cannot allow an increase in cases and so we are taking these measures today new measures and restrictions are being introduced in many countries across europe as the number of new coronavirus cases continues to climb across the continent the infections havent yet reached the levels seen at the height of the pandemic but concerns are growing that the seeds are being planted for a major resurgence. Through to the semifinals of the Champions League after defeating. Thomas miller got 2 of the goals as hes team became the 2nd german squad to advance to the semis off the lot seek knocked out another spanish team Athletico Madrid on thursday this isnt buying the hoping to win the triple having already won the bundesliga and the german cup theyll take on the win of Manchester City against him and to discuss the game that result with joined by hughes and whos in lisbon he joins us via skype hi there and the german champion so them winning wasnt out of the question but by that margin did anyone see this incredible avalanche of goals coming. Theyre playing favorites from the late before we had this competition resuming as a fortnight. In portugal and their favorites to be suspects on the field yesterday the study of delusion Training Session and he said he didnt see. It because they have spain but the scoreline is incredible its unbelievable the 1st time things happened. In the champions. 8 goals a team a ship a cold. Happens over 2 legs because the convention would be too lengthy the. Finals so to do in school the last results came in the last 8 minutes a big devastating actually listening in the match to spanish radio in the country in spanish went along the line. In the very machine it was a ruthless machine a room full. Of a common saying look you need to win a semifinal but you can get to the final. Preparations for a pass. Because thats pressure. And the bind won the German League and the german cup chance of data at the Champions League trophy and make it the treble. I think i think they have a chance it will be potentially a very difficult semifinal against Manchester City and if we can assume that they get through again leon in the final final match they look really good leavened off the strike in europe but i mean they are just so dominating so intense and so confident that passing so crisp they pull in the cats so again the very good story klee dos alone it seems so there is every expectation certainly there is on the ground and that will be something so by and what and as they do that and as then its almost more than a few years back when another travel and they cant travel by definitely on their performances so far. As a much was said the posse used about how the bundesliga was losing ground 0 of the top leagues like the premier League League and sealy what should we make of the fact that 2 of the 4 surviving teams are from the bundesliga. Its a cycle isnt it like with shopping abit Small Business with formula one as well there are cycles in the spanish cycle with english teams being successful italian teams in the ninetys it probably is not the. German team if you look at dortmund they are a very good team in recent years not when they had a bit more money they would sign a 12 that night finally we think 2 german team in the semifinals going for like in final of the biggest competition in the world so its very much germanys moment right now and you know say that by and are different favorite will go away.
