Ros Atkins on France's third lockdown and what it means for Emmanuel Macron’s leadership.

French President Emmanuel Macron has announced a new national lockdown as hospitals struggle to cope with a third wave of coronavirus infections. Non-essential shops will close along with schools - a measure previously seen as a last resort. Ros Atkins considers how the situation got so bad, the role of vaccine scepticism and the leadership of President Macron.
