UK parliament approves month-long COVID-19 lockdown for England

England is back under lockdown to curb the second wave of coronavirus infections.
Restaurants, pubs, gyms and non-essential businesses will close for four weeks to contain the second wave of infections.
It is a move Prime Minister Boris Johnson had promised to avoid but was forced to impose after a resurgence of COVID-19 cases.

Al Jazeera’s Jonah Hull reports from London, UK.

When I was in UK. I saw empty boarded up streets under a constant grey sky, litter everywhere.
Homeless people sleeping in doorways. Opioid addicts out of their mind and women so drunk they urinated on the streets.
It's a sad declined country

These are the jobs UK is protecting from Europe. Hairdressing! Good thing Banking and Aerospace is of second priority.

If I'm an owner of a company, business or even a bar and I ensure that my staff have all been vaccinated and anyone entering my establishment has had the vaccine, why cant I open up for business?
