Covid-19 mutation: European countries shut borders with UK

Newsday

Available for over a year

Flights and ferries are cancelled and the Channel Tunnel is shut in response to a Covid-19 mutation spreading quickly in London and the south-east of England. Europe's health chiefs are set to approve one of the Covid vaccines -- we'll be asking an expert in Germany for his hopes. And Hungary has banned same-sex couples from adopting. We speak to one couple who managed to adopt a boy before the law came into force.
