New lockdowns in Europe
Millions of Europeans are adjusting to a new coronavirus lockdown
Millions of Europeans are adjusting to a new coronavirus lockdown, with a third wave taking hold a year after the first one struck. Paris is once again in lockdown and drivers clogged the roads out of the city to beat the midnight deadline. Poland is also imposing a three-week lockdown to counter the spread of the British variant.
Also in the programme: after weeks of speculation Olympic organizers have banned international spectators from attending the Games in Tokyo later this year because of the coronavirus pandemic; and an "African Regime Gone Bad", Michaela Wrong on Paul Kagame's Rwanda.
