Germany is planning a near-total ban on travellers from Britain, Portugal, Brazil and South Africa as European governments increasingly move to bar entry from countries where more contagious Covid-19 variants are rampant.
Berlin’s initiative came as EU interior ministers met to discuss a more coordinated approach to international travel restrictions.
Last week Belgium barred all non-essential travel by land, sea and air into and out of the country, and the Netherlands announced a ban on incoming flights from the UK, South Africa and South America. Portugal, which has the world’s highest per capita seven-day averages of both new cases and deaths, said it would close its border with Spain for two weeks from Friday.

It’s an enchanting object, made of copper and bronze, an ancient view of the cosmos but how ancient, exactly, is what’s fueling an increasingly contentious debate.
Is the Nebra Sky Disk an unprecedented Bronze Age treasure forged some 3,600 years ago? Or a less-remarkable Iron Age object made 1,000 years later?
In September, Rupert Gebhard, director of the Munich’s Bavarian State Archaeological Collection, and Rüdiger Krause, an early European history professor at Goethe University in Frankfurt, published a paper in the German journal Archäologische Informationen arguing that the artifact which features images of the sun, the moon, and the Pleiades star cluster is not the remarkable earliest-know
Ansgar Martinsâs
The Migration of Metaphysics into the Realm of the Profane is the first book-length study focusing on Adornoâs idiosyncratic appropriation of Jewish mysticism in the light of his relationship to Gershom Scholem and their shared intellectual contexts. Rather than merely posit vague associative connections, as previous authors have often done, Martinsâs close reading of specific references in published and private texts alike allows him to highlight both commonalities and differences between Adornoâs and Scholemâs understanding of Kabbalistic tropes and the issue of metaphysics in the modern world, and to demonstrate the extent to which similarities resulted from mutual and/or third-party influences (especially Benjamin). Martins throws the specifics of their respective idiosyncratic appropriations of (Jewish) tradition into sharp relief.
