12:22 pm
i'm adrian figure this is counting the cost of the cereal weekly look at the world of business and economics this week blame it on briggs it's one trillion dollars worth of assets shifted out of the u.k. we'll follow the money. also this week changes in the air we'll take a look at trends shaping the airline industry in the year to come. smarter and creepy internet connected gadgets on show in las vegas. as things stand in just two months time the u.k. will leave the european union the divorce is being viewed as a political issue but its economic impact is undeniable one industry in particular is bracing for a seismic shock london's financial services industry the square mile as it's known is the bitting heart of the u.k.'s financial services industry and its status as europe's financial capital is under threat a report published this week estimated that banks and other financial companies
12:23 pm
have shifted at least a trillion dollars worth of assets out of the country and into the european union setting up new offices in places like frankfurt joining us now via skype from leone in france is. the managing director of frankfurt mine finance good to have you with us on come. in the costs one trillion dollars worth of assets have already been moved out of the u.k. so briggs it is already having an impact on the u.k.'s financial services sector how much more money will will be will be lost this figure came out just a few days ago from e y. and we expect at least the same amount of money to also be moved. we alone have a very clear indications that about eight hundred billion of us dollars in assets will be moved into frankfurt was going this year and what about jobs.
12:24 pm
how many are we talking about jobs being lost in london jobs being moved from london to to europe or jobs being created locally in europe. like you said there will be various ways in which jobs will be impacted the latest study which came out by iraq he said about seven thousand jobs i expected to be in two thousand and ninety eight i think that's a that's a fair assessment but first of all already before a few thousand jobs have been moved and depending on the outcome of the final results another couple of thousand jobs may or may not be moved depending on that. how would that impact people having to move from london into into continental europe these are very hard estimate to make because the majority of financial
12:25 pm
institutions will try to recruit on the continent you do not find a stampede of people that that line up because for moving its london is a very attractive city it's a very attractive financial center and it will remain to be able so most people will very likely try to stay there and it will be only a minority that would make consciously the decision to move and but what we see is particularly people who originally come from continental european countries their willingness to move is quite high much higher than logically people who are born and raised in the u.k. what impact is brics that having so far on companies on the continent particularly in germany when it will have a significant impact on corporates why is that the case london as of today
12:26 pm
is particularly for the. comp companies the place to go to find financing particularly international large fine. to do risk management and and they will have to shift some of that business because london is likely going to lose its so-called passport he writes these past putting rights would allow financial institutions of london to sell sea services on to corporations on the continent not all but some of that would be questioned and some of that would be lost those rights so the companies will then have to relocate some of those financing activities onto the continent the most prominent example is likely going to be so-called interest rate derivatives what companies insure some cells
12:27 pm
against changes in interest rate by futures and options and o.t.c. derivatives this is very likely having to be moved onto the continent and that's what we see a lot of companies are already in the process of doing i want to ask why all of this matters to people like you and me and anyone watching london's financial services industry pumped a lot of money back into the british economy could brigs it trigger a recession in the u.k. and what's the financial outlook for germany as well is that country teetering for a technical recession teetering towards a technical recession certainly does harm to the u.k. our economy and looking from the outside one may wonder why obviously the u.k. is doing harm to itself in that situation but that is something which which is to be tipped to be given because the people who wrote it and at the end of the day the
12:28 pm
people the parliament will have to come up with a final decision we're not questioning that. and. and like i said before we still do not know what the final out. if we will end up with something like the norway model which cannot be ruled out we cannot even rule out a second referendum i don't consider it to be very likely but i'm certainly not ruling it out and then a lot of these negative impacts maybe grow back so we eventually will not have them but why is that going to happen well it's a political decision at the end of the day and how is it going to impact germany. the impact is bad we very clearly believe that practice it is bad for the european union it's bad for germany but it's worst of all for the u.k. . great to talk to many thanks there for being with us thank you very much for
12:29 pm
european medical professionals are also facing an uncertain future if they remain in the u.k. al-jazeera is lawrence lee reports now from london of what impact that's having on key services in the health industry. remember this it was one of the reasons leave one in the backseat referendum take back all the money the u.k. gives to the european union and spend it on the british health service instead it proved a very powerful message but how to square that with alice sandra's story by the time he'd left italy for london he had a master's degree and four years specialist experience in mental health this is starting salary in britain was around twenty five thousand dollars a year under the government's new proposals he would never have been allowed into the u.k. because that salary would be too low for him to get to work permits to brick says i know who is going to pay for the visa for working visa in the future for obviously a lot of people decide to don't apply. mainwaring in this period of
12:30 pm
the thirty nine on the net three years very early on they they will sign up before for example in the u.k. rather than. ten thousand and. two yes sagal as it stands there are one hundred thousand unfilled roles in the british oil service and dire warnings about the looming crisis as european nationals leave the country the royal college of nursing is so worried it has joined the campaign for a second referendum calling for a rethink about leaving the school there's something quite challenging about thinking that highly skilled always means highly and what we need to do is really think about in the public sector what is the value that people bring in the eyes a minute. it's often in terms of the skills that i have so i think we need to think differently what's happening in the health service reflects a bigger question is immigration really the problem it's
12:31 pm
a say sees there are two entirely conflicting narratives at play in the u.k. at the moment the government's arguing that there is far too much european migrant labor and is taking away jobs from british people but at the same time the government can grow. cell phone having read called low unemployment's it does rather raise the question if the government does what it says it wants to and reduce european immigration by eighty percent then who exactly is going to do all the work there is an argument in cabinet between people who really care far more about restricting immigration than about the u.k. economy led by the prime minister and the rest of the cabinet and of course the business community who want to make preserving the interest of the economy a priority and that hasn't been resolved like having argued that the u.k. was at breaking points because of uncontrolled immigration and politicians are now presented with a chance to reducing is in will this lead if that happens the country will find out where the migrants are such
