World News 25th November
France thinks it has passed the peak of virus infection and so will reduce the restrictions so that people can go to non-essential shops. Bars and restaurants will still be closed until 20th January. By Christmas, travel will be possible and even cinemas will be open. However, the situation in Italy and Spain has got worse with more people dying.
In the USA, health experts advised people not to travel for the Thanksgiving holiday (27th November) to meet with family. Last weekend over three million people travelled by air in the USA. It looks as if they do not think there is a problem .. apart from the 13 million cases and the 265 thousand people who died. The travel organisation says there could be 50 million people travelling this week.
Putin in Russia has still not had the vaccine which they have been promoting with thousands of people. He says 95% success rate. He got his daughter to take it several months ago but he has not risked it so far.
The EU is happy with the people that Biden is choosing to run the US Government. He says he wants to have experience and stability. He wants the USA to be involved in world affairs again – like supporting the World Health Organisation and joining the Paris Agreement to reduce the greenhouse gases.
Germany is testing a new hydrogen train for 2024. They do not want diesel trains in future. They can create power from combining hydrogen and oxygen – that only produces water – but can drive a train for 400 miles up to 100 miles per hour. This could really reduce gases that damage the planet.
