Germany says it will support Ireland in the Brexit situation.
  They feel that UK has not done enough to reach a deal and that talks might drag on for weeks.  Boris says he will quit on Thursday if no deal agreed.  But he has made up other deadlines before and then had to make a u-turn.  There does not seem to be any real progress.   EU says it will stand by Ireland to protect it and they claim UK has not come forward with the plans required.  USA is also supporting Ireland and does not want to upset the Good Friday agreement between norther Ireland and the Republic.
Bars and restaurants are to close in the Netherlands after big rise in virus cases.  Russia approves their vaccine after limited tests but Russia had record over 13,000 cases on Tuesday.  Hospitals in Paris near to 90% of intensive care full with virus cases.
USA and Russia are supposed to have talks to try to reduce the nuclear weapons but now they have basic disagreement about whether Trump made an agreement with Putin about freezing the development of nuclear weapons.  Russia says no.  Looks like Trump is trying to get an agreement in a rush to help with the election campaign.
Trump is a long way behind in the polls for the election.  But the process in the USA means that you can have less votes than the other person and still win.  It seems very complicated because it depends on how many votes and seats you get in each state.  Trump is telling everyone that he is winning.
