the program, germany's christian democrats have a new party leader. cd you members vote overwhelmingly for friedrich mats to take the helm of the conservative opposition after their worst ever election defeat. ah, i'm public only as welcome to the program, a ban on all non essential travel between france and the united kingdom has come into effect. the french government is implementing the band with the aim of slowing the spread of the arm across corona virus variant. the u. k has been experiencing rocketing numbers of infections and reported more than 93000 new infections on friday. travelers hoping to beat the travel deadline, rushed to secure seats on trains, fairies and plains, between france. i'm the u. k. santa claus is coming to town on or maybe not of it's paris, he's going to and his last stop was london, non essential travel between france and britain grind to a halt on saturday. a strict new rules go into force at paris is goth. do know, christmas holiday makers were grabbing their last chance to get to london on the eurostar on friday. i feel very lucky that i managed to get out of france on the last day that it's possible. um, but yeah i, it is a bit worrying. it's a bit scary and who knows, it's going to happen in january when, when everything gets that's normal after the new year. so we'll see. i think it's a bit late really considering melnick holmes already here with rollin something written. so i don't see why a run why with either the circle with signs of escape game. so we thought this was a grand adventure for we were looking for an escape game and we found out exactly how to get out of france and back from london. they'll make it out, but re entering france from britain won't be quite as jolly across the channel, low a long queues at london saint pancras station. as people there sought to travel in the opposite direction and get to france while i could from saturday. even if the british can convince french authorities that, that travel is essential. they'll be subject to self isolation on arrival. all right, well for more information on the story, i'm joined by d. w reporter hannah hummel. here in the studio. she's been following the story force. i had a good to see you now. who actually is affected by this is, is everybody affected? no, not everyone's affect it. i think it's also important to make clear that this is an i right ban. so french and ease at sends will still be allowed to return. they need a negative test beforehand, and there's a minimum quarantine of 48 hours. and then they need another task, but also french residents are allowed to travel back even if they're not french citizens. and transit is still allowed. so if france isn't your final destination, then you can still travel through and, and travel to the u. k from france. am authorities of asked people to postpone trips, but again there is an i right ban the ban affects professional work, trips and tourists. and those are the people that are going to be the most affected here. so many britons travel to france over the holidays for things like ski trips . so that's going to be, who's the most affected, of course. right. so tell us about why is the been only on the u. k, because we know that this alma kron variance is present here in germany and many other countries, and we're seeing pretty high numbers as well. or of this variant. m a across europe . yeah, exactly. and is a really good question because france has said that they've banned travel from the u. k, because the numbers are just saw high over there. and also there is a direct train line connecting the to capital cities. thousands of people generally travel across that lane. every day, so especially since london is the worst effected part of the u. k, you can understand why they want to sever that connection. but like you said so many other countries are also affected by omicron. but e countries don't really want to restrict travel with in each countries. and the notable difference here is that the u. k. isn't a part of the you anymore. and in those same conditions then don't apply. alright, well, how's the u. k responding to all of this, them, they're quite, they're not happy about it. of course, for us, johnson has and said outright that he doesn't think that it's a fair decision. and many conservative politicians are also arguing that it may be a political move. it does follow of weeks of political attentions between the 2 countries over things like prospects that fishing rates and migration or the channel. but on the other hand, if you just look at the numbers a lot, i mean the u. k reported 93000 cases on friday. so you could argue with that speak for itself. all right, we'll leave it there. d. w 's. how normal, thanks for bringing us all that information. france is not the only country in europe bracing for a new wave of infections across the continent. governments are introducing restrictions such as limiting opening times for popes and venues. vaccinating children is another measure. authorities are taking to reduce the severity of infections. a quick pinch and it was all done on whose i had

party of former chancellor anglo michael have elected friedrich mats as their next leader, a former mackerel rival. he beat to other contenders with an outright majority in the 1st round of a member's vote. his supporters hope he'll steer the party more to the right after the c to use worst ever national election result under his predecessor, i mean lash it is in ms. jones as of steve's 3rd time. lucky for frederick metz. twice before he has launched a bid to become leader of the christian democrats. this time the choice was left of the party members, many of whom are over 60, and he's traditional attitudes chime with those of the 66 year old merits. reacting to the vote, frederick mad, promised to unite the party is vice versa. i know what lies ahead for all of us and i know what this means for me personally. i accept this nomination of our members and i'm looking forward to working together well with absolutely everyone of go to some about it requires an metts was 1st elected to the buddhist target in 1994 and later became parliamentary leader of the c d. u. but he was squeezed out by angle, a miracle in 2002 mad switch to a lucrative career in banking and did not return to the political fray until 2018. as there were signs, the era of chancellor miracle was coming to an end. he ran for the c d u leadership in 2018. losing to integrate, cram karen bower and again in 2020. when i'm in lush, it took charge, but after the parties poor result at this year's general election, many in the cd you clearly felt it was time for matt's is brand of tough talk roughly because i know muzzles argon, let me simply say that the cd you this party has been in a state of emergency for 3 years, and this must not be repeated on cur, does in sight and of isn't you motions that yas ornish read all even within is party. some of question. frederick mats, his motives suggesting he's driven, namely by personal ambition. that ambition has now given him the cd used talk job enabling mets to be the face of conservative opposition to the government of olaf shots. or earlier we spoke to political scientists to al, crashed on looker and asked him how frederick mats would be different anglo mabel. i think he will be very, if not a say, a totally different to angle american because he's from character totally different . he's very aggressive. he is not only from the right, as you said, he is more nearly liberal but he's very has a very strong with tory and merkle. yes, you know, was very moderates. he was not says he will smooth all the time. and now that will be a very aggressive opposition leader, and i think it's not a bad thing for the see you because now the position has changed. now they opposition and now you have be aggressive, you must be strong. and that's what flick mouth is on. we have 16 years of anglo merkel, a very strong leadership from long time after the last year's not a strong, but i think if america would have been candidate, she would have been one another time. and all of shots wouldn't have been chancellor. but that's the reason why now the era is another one. i don't think that she will return to the past because whittling math. no 2nd can't be reactionary. he can't be right only. he can't be only nearly liberal. he already says that he must win the social positions off to you. he must be more going to the middle. and that's the thing. what he's doing. he will be on the one side, he will create contract that he will be very strong and aggressive as an opposition leader. but on the other side, he will also try to hold the middle. and that's very important for the cd you because that's not and has never been right party to sport. and in the bonus league league leaders by a munich, b 12 spring for nail in their final

unwell stories. do hon is burg fighting the corona virus. a dispute over a coal mine in britain? but we began in ukraine. there is international concern about the deployment of russian troops on the countries east and border how i residence in the border region handling the threats. this muddy trek used to be an international crossing from ukraine to russia for elena and her neighbors with family and friends on both sides. it was a lifeline. dana, a cup roll cook. i want to check what kind of why are they put up? oh, yes, yes. it's bob's why i call you j tucker fish and they loud this strip. but oh, to catch people we try to cross would it lowered a few signs, some fencing and some barbed wire or could have it might not look like a particularly well defended frontier between 2 countries in conflict. but it's certainly a big change or people in this part of eastern ukraine to hold until a few years ago could drive across the border without much is showing a passport or to last year. but my neighbor has his elderly mother down there on the russian side. it's only 6 kilometers from here. but now he has to do a huge loop and travel 10 times that to pass through the board to post the motion. and when the boat offense was 1st built few years ago, helena tells us relatives would come and stand on both sides to talk over the barbed wire. it's this closeness, these personal ties that mean that many, yeah, aren't ready to believe that. um conflict with russia is even possible brosnan, the gym, particularly we hear all the scary things on the knees, but i just can't imagine it affecting us here. there's no animosity between us nation with him as a milligram. that may be the case, but the tanks in the troops are definitely there. even if they're still some 200 kilometers from helene as border village with u. s. defense sauces, warning invasion could be a reality within months. very earnest terms, his gulf don't. we've been expecting of russian invasion since 2014. they're always flex in their muscles and. and i think this is just an attempt to win political concessions, robert williams elsewhere. but then in a politician or in, in the border town of mill over, there's not much of that shield evidence with russian and ukrainian border guards, barely metro park long the boundary which runs down the middle of the main street. but even here were many locals can see russia from their windows. it's cold and economic worries rather than russian tanks for now. a still weighing most heavily on people's minds law last year. how can we be in danger if the board is right there, we would have seen something already. yo, i've only seen those russian tanks on t b, but we can't see or hear them here. yet, no tensions here. so as negotiations between washington and moscow to resolve these tensions go into overdrive to people on the ground, this new crane seem unwilling to believe that the threat of war is real till they see those russian tanks with their own eyes. ah, the i'm chron, variant is causing a surgeon corona, virus infections, especially in south africa, where it was fast detected. the mayor of johannesburg wants to do everything she can to stop
