New passport rules for dual British-Canadian citizens put N.S. couple's trip in jeopardy

#20252025Challenge
My new passport arrived today. Not a fan of the blue version, but why does my photo look so angry? We had to have a neutral expression, but wow I look mighty peeved. Also, I tried drawing an actual hand!
(Also, sorry I forgot to record the start of the time lapse 😓)

While his #britishPassport should allow him to enter France, a physician of @DoctorsWithoutBorders and rector of the #UniversityofGlasgow was refused by french authorities at Charles-de-Gaule airport yesterday. He was invited by French Senate to testimony about the #Gaza humanitarian crisis after spending 40 days at #AlShifaHospital.

French police first confiscated his mobile phone, then he was able to testimony by phone to the Sénat from the airport.

French authorities shifted responsability to #Germany which enforced Schengen-wide entry ban.
