out is iraq bringing the news and current affairs that matter to. al-jazeera. pushing for independence after bragg's it 1st minister nicola sturgeon says scotland has the right to decide its future she argues the divorce with the e.u. happened against the will of the country so can scotland become independent this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program. after 8 months of negotiations and 7 days before the braggs a deadline the european union and the u.k. finally we trade and security deal british prime minister boris johnson calls it an

agreement that will how the u.k. take control of its destiny but in scotland pro independence leader nicola sturgeon says it's time for the country to become an independent european nation the 1st minister twitter that's what's happening is against scotland's will in the 2016 bros it's referendum 62 percent of voters in scotland opt to remain in the you since then calls for independence have grown but boris johnson rejects the demands now sturgeon party is expected to head into next year's elections seeking any a mandate for a 2nd independence vote but will an independent scotland be allowed to join the e.u. . bragg's it's changed the debate over an independent scotland it's been 6 years since scots voted 55 to 45 percent to reject sovereignty in

a referendum this year polls 'd indicated support for independence of beijing 58 percent that's a tribute to the success of 1st minister nicolas sturgeon in controlling the koran of virus compared to what's happened in england british prime minister bought his johnson house rejected and you referendum saying scotland voted to stay in the u.k. into $1014.00 several a u foreign ministers have made it clear an independent scotland would need to apply to get back in in scotland's capital city edinburgh many describe feelings of fatigue and dismay over brags that even after the deal was reached on christmas eve i think it needs to be because over the past couple weeks it's been just so much hype and misinformation and media happening again so far and with the bit that might come and restrictions in terms of the behalf so hopefully it will

get rid of all of that and get rid of the uncertainty but personally i think they're sculpting to be part of here so that's to be up to the general for the response to be part of me because i hate breaks and i think it's completely retrograde step one of the year i can remember life before we joined europe and i remember things going better. in every way i think that the feeling of being part of a multinational international. i were looking community i think has been thompson fantastic i've always been very sizeable i buy everything right being in europe. let's introduce the panel in london more hussein a political commentator and former special advisor of the u.k. home office in brussels carol lin to see you at the center for european policy

studies and in london jonathan list policy analyst and deputy director of the british influence what come to your know the general sentiment in scotland which seems to be now moving to worse splitting away from the union is it a momentary rejection of bragg's it or a day nomic shift. i think the polls would suggest there has been this sentiment growing over the last year or so i mean breaks it you know we've been talking about this for me 4 and a half years now in the u.k. so i think any impact of rates that we would have seen factored in already over the last year you've seen this huge pandemic or for governments that u.k. have been grappling with i think it's given nicholas stoughton much more of a platform it's gotten control his own health service should be a briefing so i think how she seemed to be responding to code it has maybe in

some people's minds may have made it seem to come across as more of a leader and somebody who potentially could be an independent country but i do you think they are 2 separate things the context has been quite different but it works that argument i think has been going on for quite a long time so i'm not sure if there was no deal that would make a bigger impact a bigger difference and cause much more damage because that is it you know we'll see what the details are i'm not sure it will make as big a dent into the polls as we've seen carol i mean even with the trade deal the desist prevailing sentiment that the scots find themselves in an uncharted territory do you think this is why 0 one of the main reasons why people feel like they have been somehow hijacked by the braggs it's architects. yes to some degree but the scots are only a minority or it minority u.k.

there are about $5000000.00 south if there ever were to be another referendum it would be a referendum on the whole of the u.k. and then they said they would have to agree the whole of the u.k. would have to agree but eventually the scottish sleeping i do not see it or not read but i think let's say we'll have to see 1st how this new would be worse and how the overall economy how people react to this in the coming weeks and months and then we can see the same other will be in your call if your friend runs in scotland but i am sure it will not go away because if you look at basically the deal has been about 2 big things goods and services and for goods that will not be customs basically there will be a customs control whether or not he credits the goods will enter into your case freely and since the u.k. has a great deficit for goods i mean you will see even more goods throwing at you credit for services on the other hand which is the export product of your game and also the export market but scotland i mean there are the that is do not apply there are

all the rules which are identical perhaps orders from us exported from the u.k. so i think you could see a lower middle medium term or in the long run some problems for the u.k. company in continuing to export their services certainly to europe and this explains i think the anger of the scots or let me go to jennifer and jennifer of the moment by johnson announced the trade deal the people in scotland said that the government has betrayed the the scots in the sense that their premium exports now to the you will have to suffer because there will be extra costs and they will definitely have to lose the competitive as the years to have in the past. yes but identity nuts the main reason for scottish anger over the last few years obviously contribute i think it's much more political than economic. so stop there and has been rebuffed in every stage for the last 4 and a half years so

a majority of students as we know you very existence that you're 60 percent that year 8 which is more than vote is a bigger percentage than very same united kingdom which is any $55.45 so you might say the european union is the move pock in a union of the 2 scotland and the scottish government put forward a proposal to stay in the single market in 2016 and that was dismissed out of her by the ek comment which made no effort to compromise whatsoever so the scots have felt that their views have not been taken into account they haven't and now i think is the main reason behind this. for independence which is now running 58 percent in the polls which is very very hard tax institute who are no if you look of the politics no in scotland there is this battle of narratives the independence leaders saying that the trade deal is not good for scotland the conservatives on the other

hand saying that they need agreement protects the projects of scotland this narrative itself between the pro independents and those who would like to remain within the union how likely is it to shape the future of scotland and who is likely to prevail. i think it will be an ongoing discussion certainly as we head to the expected lection in may and i think you have to really is ition things differently and have different points of view that you are trying to make in trying to get across you know on the one hand of the union started the argument which will talk about the fact that actually now is not the time to be talking about independence we already had 4 and a half years of torturous breaks in the patient we're trying to deal with the pandemic actually because of the united kingdom that we have this further scheme which is protected 800000 jobs in scotland with the 1st mother 1st country in the

world have a vaccine which people in scotland are benefiting from so there are arguments around the issue we're facing as a country now to deal with and then you will have the s. and p. side and the nationalist side that will make the case because brixton because of the press that deal has been struck there are not the people who voted against threats that across the whole case isn't just in scotland so it being it's slightly misreading the situation just to think that if you want independent you automatically are all anti bricks that you can be an internationalist or you want to ideally be back in the e.u. but you can also want to be part of the united kingdom it shouldn't be one union against the other so i don't think this kind of simplified argument is really going to cut through with everyone because you know on one hand you're saying you want to join the e.u. but then independence would be leaving the u.k.

single market and having the custom border potentially the scotland england border it could mean that it couldn't be joining the euro and what would it mean for the common fisheries policy and how would that go down with the fishing community because it is not straightforward thing there are many many under many questions around kerala spoke about. the you spoke of the services there were affected by the trade deal and when you when it comes to scotland you have the fisheries and you have a great culture the seed potatoes exports which are the somehow the pride of the scottish exports the g.d.p. of the country is likely to contract by 66 percent in the upcoming years because of the new political reality isn't this on its own a strong reason for the probably independence movement is scotland to say it's about time to rethink where we stand i would like to move forward. yes these

projections are holding together already for the last many years that's enough for the exodus negative so we do have to see how it does not be divided over the country maybe that last one for example is a city and as the capital of many financial services will suffer a lot but maybe not all the parts will suffer as well one of the bigger parcel of this agreement but also our people and the free movement of people from mainland europe from other european countries could u.k. and we've seen a ton of these people mostly unskilled labor let's say were very mediocre or for example the agriculture sector will have to see much of what will be the impact of not having so easily cheap labor coming over from europe but also qualified labor which probably will comment much more easily into the u.k. to create an undercurrent agreement may also not find it that undressing anymore to come to your carry on if for example european capitals managed to put up a blaze which will be a financial center which will be competing with a lot of u.k.

will for sure suffered but one of the things that's of which we haven't mentioned is not an argument i think a lot on the scottish reaction will depend on how the agreement will work and not tonight we don't attend that it will be no border between i don't i'm not an artless lot of the deal but all of you know it's just our last year this has been preserved in this agreement even if some conservatives are against i mean that means or to that base in order not part of. the integrity of your pay is affected so if this works well for not not not scotland make slowly but certainly be started to say look we want the same you know if you haven't got it right and be on his goods coming and poor country without any border checks much more if he would talk more in detail about all of that island later in the program for the time being jonathan one 1st minister nicolas says that nothing will macaffer whether briggs's takes away from scotland is it imbra on a collision course with westminster. it ups of years and the fundamental problem of

the governance is they can't say we have the rights to our independence right to take back control of the town in our own future but deny that the scottish people it was made always very clear. in 2040 there not only would scotland have a bigger say over the running of the u.k. you know there was a famous varro which is made just before the referendum in 2014 on scotland and which suggested that there be some kind of constitutional v. terry and obviously that never took place so the scottish people have alexis the s.n.p. as the majority party in the last 4 elections 2015 in the general election 2016 in harm's lection $27.00 c. in the elections 2019 again in the action and the s.n.p. is that the likely to win a majority again next year so how can he take government possibly do not the

scottish people what they clearly say they want because they to lead to the party which has an independence referendum as its overarching concern and on the other point it's absolutely just the s.n.p. to say that perhaps it is a change of circumstance yes it was agreed in 2014 the independence referendum would be for a generation but that was barring any major constitutional changes now bracks it is a major constitutional change and leaving the single market in customs even is even bigger change because that alters the entire economic and commercial infrastructure sort of a no don't you think that this could be the right time to start to rethink the whole constitutional architecture in the u.k. because people in scotland are thinking there is absolutely no way we're going to move forward under the same circumstances. yeah i mean i think the debate around

the constitution has been going on for a while and i think that will just get stronger i know it's concerning a lot of people 'd in westminster and in government and this wish seen in the health fisheries parts of the deal that has just been struck the fisheries of the very small u.k. economy but politically it's really important not just because of the sovereignty argument but also because of the union and the impact on fishing communities in scotland so i think there are will certainly be more thought given to for that evolution of powers as a result of the powers going back in brussels to the night kingdom and beyond and you saw that again from the labor party just last week announcement over. whether workers including former prime minister gordon brown to look at while can be devolved so i think there is real concern but i still i still don't think about it for years and he should just be seen through the prism as a vote for independence and if people do also go to domestic issues well that went

back to issues that matter to them look at the opposition in scotland from the labor side it's very weak with david's leaving the conservative side to go to see what happens there as well so i don't think we can just use you and george to mean for the s.n.p. which gets they very likely to get well magically meet one here instead of once this the remains of a sin because when you look at the recent polls under we see what's happening you get the impression that this is absolutely not the case there are most likely to ride the wave on a president of popularity and expand the influence and presence in the parliament for the time being carol give us an idea about the general sentiment among the e.u. leaders about what happens next i think when they have struck the deal with the u.k. they're worth thinking about teaming up with a partner for the future but what happens with that partner breaks up into

different nations. i think overall it had a sentiment envy your special goal it's a it's a pity. that you had a member which was 47 years a member of the eurozone and it's not the 1st best number it's a very important country it's the 3rd largest the e.u. order 2nd largest let's go to. what count you take so it's an important member of which we forget the middles let's say and which has played a very important role in framing the you would ask 47 year certainly in the single market and the competition which we haven't seen for service i mean certainly for serves as a very important member but also that all of britain and the masterly extremely important and that it's solving ritualised on the other hand of course i think some will be happy let's say that we have got a deal that's extremely important because a bill a few days ago there was a possibility then would be not has been kept up until almost the last minute we heard i think on christmas eve that it was many people even a few days before dollars that it will be not at least we have really learned

destructive or cooperation there's not never one thing that you are missing and you refer to those and i mean the e.u. all is missing a very important security act with the u.k. as part of the e.u. of course you cable me involved and nato and us also approximate your many many member states of you are off the naval blockade but to form a stronger security actor in europe we will be missing the u.k. and we will have to form some form of agreement just not out of this agreement on with the u.k. to strengthen our security for example in the middle east jonathan for the time being a we or boil down to what happens next in scotland just for the sake of further explain the politics in scotland let's map out the political the voting a lot scaped to 2 thirds of those who voted in 2016 said they would like to stay in the douglas was with find it extremely difficult to reverse the trend of the pro independence sentiment. who do you think will shape what

happens in the upcoming months is it the greens coming on together with the s.n.p. and saying both together we can till the grand towards our own favor and we will move forward to words a 2nd vote for independence why him yes and he has a commanding lead. in india in scotland splits go polls nicholas dungeon is very popular and she's seen as having managed the current virus crisis much better than boris johnson which is all of the playschool charisma and skill as well i don't think she needs a lot of help and i think that she's on course to win the next election and come head see you just to go back to what most saying a moment ago it's not saying that everyone necessarily suppose independence and they've made the s.n.p. we know that's we know that's the case that you're using the s.n.p.

a majority in 2014 and they still lost in his referendum but what it does say is that the s.n.p. has a mandate for its major policy which is to have that independence referendum and so as you said the full there is now into a very very difficult period but here is the s.n.p. is going to be elected next year on this platform of holding a 2nd referendum in the lights of massive disruption to the constitutional rule against is going to. london is going to be saying it's not the time you can have the referendum figures overseas and worries that they might leave and they're worried about the general disruption that's irrelevant but the fundamental point is this is going to be a major blow because there is nothing to say that scotland concert have a comment on style constitutional crisis if this got over it again and again for referendum in london doesn't get it and what happens that we don't are we have few time left here appreciates. from you if you don't mind element. with the end of the

transitional period what will britta look like in the future. who very big question. but i think now we've seen the parameters of what the deal will look like i think a lot of people will be believed because it's not known to you which was a real concern with me and many other people on country i'm sure 'd and i think actually will be looking much more internationally so there's been a lot of focus on the whether it's the iraq and the more immigration i think actually will be looking much more closely and hopefully by cherry 26 sharing g 7 that's real cheap to put into practice what we mean when we talk about global written but i think hopefully more internationally its outlook is coming carol i mean no one can ignore ignore the impact of the laws of gravity the republic of ireland who is deaf to going to be poor to words the european bloc and if not an

island decides that its benefits will be decided by the a republic of ireland they are more likely to say you know what i think it's about time to join the republic and we'll end up having a united ireland will that be the pivotal moment that will decide the future of britain if this were to happen of course it will be a disaster for britain because the stopping the conservators have complained about the integrity of the u.k. but it's something which according to me is very likely to happen in the coming years that won't happen overnight and of coming months it's i think very likely to happen because if this year there's no banker and there is support or with the u.k. then there will be a big difference and yet it was ever in practice you know united's jonathan in less than 15 seconds do you think that the breakup of the u.k. is inevitable it is noticeable the scottish people want independence is the right to has already happened emotionally illegal roger i think you've fallen very shortly german thank you very much indeed i really appreciate your insights my
