Global report: France warned of third lockdown, as Dutch protests turn violent
Italy threatens legal action against Pfizer over vaccine supply; Israel to close all airports to most flights
The French government has said a third national lockdown may be inevitable if border controls and the 12-hour curfew that are in place fail to curb the spread of new variants of Covid-19.
The warning came as police clashed with anti-lockdown protesters in the Netherlands, the Italian government announced legal action over delays in receiving vaccine supplies, and New Zealand reported its first community case in more than two months.
