Germany under tougher restrictions amid Covid rise

Newsday

Available for over a year

Germany has entered a hard lockdown closing schools and non-essential businesses in an attempt to stop a sharp rise in Covid-19 infections; a verdict is likely later today in the trial of some of those involved in the attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo; and we'll go to a small town in Italy which has built its fortune on recycling used clothes – and is now leading the way in sustainable fashion.
