At Europe's borders: Tensions run high as border between France, Germany remains closed

Description

All this week France 24 is reporting from European borders - several of which were unilaterally closed off during the coronavirus pandemic. Today, we’re on the border between France and Germany. Cooperation between the 2 countries is the backbone of the European Union, but with the border closure, tensions have been running high. Catherine Norris Trent reports from the border towns of Forbach and Sarrebruck.
