British PM: Escape route from virus is in sight

Britain’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson expresses optimism for an end to coronavirus restrictions as he announces the lifting of measures in England from early next month.

“Christmas cannot be normal and there’s a long road to spring. But we have turned a corner and the escape route is in sight,” he tells parliament.

“We must hold out against the virus until testing and vaccines come to our rescue and reduce the need for restrictions,” he adds.
