Description
Passengers queue for the Eurostar train at St Pancras station in London as they try to beat a midnight deadline for travel to and from Britain and France before tough new Covid restrictions come into force. After midnight French time, (2300 GMT Friday) travellers will need to show a compelling reason for travel between the two countries, under shock new rules announced on Thursday by France to combat the Omicron variant of Covid-19. The only exemptions for needing a compelling reason are for French and European travellers returning to France and British passengers heading in the other direction. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
