yea rs. the business here in tropp almost 30 years. all right, guys, how is it going? mark has suffered from the uncertainty of brexit ever since the referendum. since brexit, we have never been fully staffed. we cannot feel every position in this business. what would you put that down to? the availability of the workers, they are going back to where they have come from and finding jobs closer to home and they arejust finding jobs closer to home and they are just not finding jobs closer to home and they arejust not here. finding jobs closer to home and they are just not here. do you look further afield to your workforce? absolutely, yes, this year, and this is the first—tier we have done this, we are busting people in from further afield, outside of the county, just to find them. but we arejust county, just to find them. but we are just not getting people coming and is looking for work. are you paying enough? yes, we pay competitive wages to the industry, we offer people a chance to come and work here and go up the pay grades survey, you know, we are notjust looking for basic minimum wage people. supervisors, one metres, tea m people. supervisors, one metres, team leaders, managers, ahold —

people can have a career here. which has benefited people like gregory. but that could all change under the latest government proposal. if someone now comes into a latest government proposal. if someone now comes into a low skilled job, they may struggle to move into management as he did. madeline from the migration observatory at oxford university has been helping inside out make sense of these plans for us here in the east. the government's proposals make a stripped distinction between high skilled work and low skilled work on someone who comes in and initially into a low skilled job not be able to switch into the high skilled level under the proposals so they would need to go home to one year and then come back on another kind of these up come back on another kind of these up to it would be much harder in the future the people to have that u pwa rd future the people to have that upward mobility from the skilled into highly skilled work. gregory is shocked, he had no idea this was on the cards. it would affect anyone

going to disappear from council accepted, lots of other people we spoke to say they have been here for yea rs spoke to say they have been here for years and are staying that it is their home. people like it read. they bought houses and their children are at school. the economy may be growing in poland but they can still earn much more here. at least, for now. gregory has no intention of leaving and because he has been here for years, he has an automatic right to stay, whatever happens with brexit. all that i have got now, it is thanks to being here, obviously, i have a family, house, you know, good job. obviously, i have a family, house, you know, goodjob. i'm glad i'm here and i which everything, really. david wylie reporting from norfolk. coming up on inside out. the lorries rehearsing for no deal in kent. not

in my lifetime, never known anything like this. this is uncertain times. now, amidst all the political uncertainty, one thing is fish or— leaving the eu means losing the automatic right to live and work there. that is unless you can get hold of an eu passport because of yourfamily hold of an eu passport because of your family history. but for one father of three, this is proving to be the most ethical decision he has ever had to make. ben godfrey reports. the other side of... with adrian goldberg. adrian goldberg has been his broadcasting career edging under the skin of people and politics, getting answers to tough questions, now he is facing a tough questions, now he is facing a tough question of his own. adrian's family we re question of his own. adrian's family were originally from germany is a qualified for a german past what and with it the right to live and work

3:41 am
almost certain death in nazi germany pogba concentration camps. kinder transport. the emotional baggage i attack was immense, this is the himla at rudolf, known at- rudolf, known as rudy, feel at home. rudolf, known as rudy, made his home in birmingham and worked in factories. he died in 2012 at the age of 87. on the sabbath, adrian mumm's kitty praise for her lost husband. they raised four children but he could never escape the horrors of his childhood. do you think it left its mark on him over the years? i think so because he was a lwa ys the years? i think so because he was always very quiet. so this was the paper that got him out of germany? and again, he has got the sort of nazi stamps on it. gosh, he looks so young, doesn't he? what do you think young, doesn't he? what do you think you would think now if i was thinking of getting a german past bought? i don't think it would think
3:42 am
much of it. he would want you to go and live there. not even just to get and live there. not even just to get a passport? no. why not? they have done nothing for him. they wanted him dead. it is a adrian did not done nothing for him. they wanted him de his it is a adrian did not done nothing for him. they wanted him de his it is a adrian itd not qarder. was that decision harder. the phrase was that the decision harder. the phrase was that é— decision harder. the phrase was that the'53'25'25 gave — decision harder. the phrase was that the'£e"fi'§£'fi§ gave him. i — decision harder. the phrase was that the—% to “2“: gave him. i— decision harder. the phrase was that the—5 to efieggve hin the — that was this is now, i have my own family to think about but definitely my dad's experience weighs heavy. so, to help you make up his mind he is heading to berlin. back for help him make up his mind. my dad's aren't used to runa his mind. my dad's aren't used to run a small factory in berlin so there is a link here but also, i wa nt to there is a link here but also, i want to see the myself how far germany has come since those dark days. everywhere he looks there are painful reminders of his family's past, like the kindertransport
3:43 am
memorial. it shows the train to life and the other route, to the concentration camps and death. and the other route, to the concentration camps and deathlj cannot imagine what my dad must have felt as he was seen off by his mum and dad. his mum could not go to the station to wave him off, she was too choked by the whole experience, as you could understand. having seen their son off to freedom, adrian's grandparents, ruth and julius, were put on a train themselves, to outstrip. they were never seen again. ——to our suites. outstrip. they were never seen again. --to our suites. the holocaust is all encompassing thing, it builds up around hue and it is as though the world is closing in. at the holocaust memorial, adrian remembers the terrible cost. my dad's father, his mother, art, uncles, cousins... they were all
3:44 am
murdered, they were all exterminated. vermin. that is how they were seen by the nazis. not even human beings. and they were my family. if i was ever to think about living or even working in germany, i would need to have a stronger sense asi would need to have a stronger sense as i possibly could that the germany of today is utterly completely different to the germany of the 19305. different to the germany of the 1930s. they are going to go see a woman now who, like me, is rediscovering her german jewish roots. i want to find from her what it is like to live in modern—day berlin. the sounds of german politics are shifting. the far right afp has become the biggest opposition party, jewish community groups here are concerned though about a rise in anti—semitism. groups here are concerned though about a rise in anti—semitismlj think the level of anti—semitism
3:45 am
would u nfortu nately think the level of anti—semitism would unfortunately increased in the last year. so that when me and my family were making this decision, it was actually not so present. yes? but even then, i am not sure that we would have made a different call. she moved from russia to germany ten yea rs she moved from russia to germany ten years ago on a government immigration programme. on the one hand i can understand the value of having a german passport for reasons of work and for leisure, on the other hand, this country has done such grievous harm to my family. what you think should do?m such grievous harm to my family. what you think should do? it is an ethical dilemma. moreover, i know people who would never get a german passport living in germany already for many years, just out of principle. i think it is a very individual thing. 1000 principle. i think it is a very individualthing. 1000 miles principle. i think it is a very individual thing. 1000 miles from birmingham, adrian is still unsure whether he should get that german
3:46 am
passport. he's added to his father's hometown, now in poland, but before world war ii it was part of germany. that mackie's added to. it is where asa that mackie's added to. it is where as a 13—year—old rudolph lost the ability to make even the simplest of choices. i invited him he had more than once. i said let us go and see we came from. he could not bring himself to do it. bennati is ready the city in 1938. the synagogue here, my father watched a block of flats from over there when satellite —— the nazis raided the city.l couple of miles outside the town, there is a jewish burial ground and it has huge significance for adrian. today's the anniversary of my father's daf. he lived such a fulfilling life in england —— death. and if it wasn't for that visit from

his mother at this graveyards, he would not have had that life. he is still undecided about what's best for his family. while there's been darkness there has been for the future, surprisingly through the kindness of strangers. when i came here for the first time, the kindness of strangers. when i came here for the firs was a, the kindness of strangers. when i came here for the firs was so :he kindness of strangers. when i came here for the firs was so bad. tends the headstones. the woman tends the headstones. the few are still visible. woman tends the headstones. the few 1 are still visible. when you that are still visible. when you think about people now, the old people, they are lost, but the small people, they are tasty—bot—the small those people, they are tasty—oot—the small those you buried dues. the know here are buried dues. the people who live in the town are a

pa rt part of fifiemffifi brock, as 2, ' part of fifiemffifi brock, in as 2, ' tested part of operation brock, in which manston airfield in kent is used as a lorry park. so what do we learn from that exercise? rachel rowson reports. it's 5am in folkestone. colin rumsey has been driving for lorries for more than 30 years. he works for int logistics, mainly doing deliveries from the continent. but this morning, he's up very early to do a specialjob for the government. he's the driver of one of 150 lorries commissioned by the department for transport taking part in a post—brexit traffic jam avoidance exercise. if there's no deal, it's feared extra border checks will cause traffic chaos around dover. i've got three here waiting to go.
3:50 am
seems to be a problem, though. the government has come up with a plan called operation brock. manston airfield will be used as an emergency lorry park. i'm going tojoin him as they put it to the test. we're off. how far is it to manston? to me, it's a fearful situation. we're stepping into the unknown. into the unknown. the lorries are scheduled to set off at 8am to coincide with the rush hour. steels here. right; is
3:51 am
3:52 am
and the route to the port of dover via the holding area on the a256." then we set off. colin had been warned at the briefing that the turning out of manston airfield would be a little bit difficult. and we're en route. and this is where it says the turn's going to be quite tight. the lorries have been let out 25 at a time. it later emerged that only 89 of the expected 150 lorries had turned up at all. it seemed pretty quiet on the roads. from the cabin seat, it was hard to judge what was going on around us, so i asked an expert to cast an eye over our journey. i've come to imperial college london to see dr ke han. he's researched the impact of potential delays at dover after brexit.
3:53 am
but today, we wanted his view on the manston trial. in principal, he thought a lorry park to divert traffic from dover was a good idea but the experiment, he said, didn't prove anything. the 89 lorries that actually showed up doesn't really compare with the critical mass of over 10,000 lorries on a daily basis. for the lorries on the a256. i'm joining the back of the queue now. we'll not be held here hardly at all. that could actually substantially reduce the capacity of local road networks and, in the case of the single—lane truck roads, that could actually create a complete blockage of the road and traffic. they've got to come up with some system, even in the event of a no—deal brexit.
3:54 am
they've got to come up with some system which will delay the need for all these customs procedure for a period so they can phase them whether ear petitieiens and eereoean'e the department for transport told us: w will be considered carefully to ensure operation brock is fully there was little evidence of any ”7 777 7 7 £77 7757 :7 77; £2 §7 e‘fi ewes 5515 “e fif‘e‘e‘ are post—brexit border delays. itmight do something but still i think in terms of the delays for those trucks,
3:55 am
for those lorries, it's going to be on a similar level. because the bottom line is we have a key bottleneck right outside of dover and it doesn't matter how we shift traffic around — north, south, east, west — eventually, they're going to all converge to this one point of the bottleneck. whether the government needs to carry on preparing for a no—deal brexit is something that's still to be decided. not in my lifetime have i had anything like this, really. it's very uncertain times. that's it for tonight. hello.
3:56 am
the prospect of brighter skies for some of us for part two of the weekend after what was a rather grey, cold start to the weekend. a very wintry feel and look to things for some of us. here's one weather watcher view from the lake district. and we are starting with a frost across particularly parts of scotland, a sharp frost in places, down to —7, —8, so parts of east anglia could be down to —6 as well in the countryside. we've had some cloud overnight into sunday morning. temperatures just above freezing. and there is a weather front moving down across scotland and northern ireland as we go on through sunday. that has then an area of cloud, rain, hill snow especially in scotland as well, so bear that in mind if you're venturing to higher ground. that will slowly move on through. brighter skies follow. breezy with a few showers in north—west scotland. light winds for england and wales.
3:57 am
still a fair amount of cloud around, maybe still drizzly, one or two spots. may catch a shower the far west of wales and into cornwall, looks like a brighter day, though for east anglia and south—east england compared with saturday, and temperatures topping out at around 4 to 8 celsius. now, that weak weather front will be across northern england into parts of wales on through sunday evening, moves further south on sunday night, barely any rain still associated with that. some clear spells around as well, so you try your luck with those early on monday if you're viewing the total lunar eclipse, and a rather more widespread frost as well as monday starts. so then, into monday, we look at the big picture here. there's a little nose of high pressure keeping things reasonably settled across much of the uk. this weather front, though, will show its hand into parts of scotland and northern ireland as we go deeper into the day. now, what we'll notice from that is a cloud increasing, the wind picking up as well. in fact, could see some gusts in the western isles deeper into the day up to around 60 miles an hourorso, and then here comes the wet weather. some rain, some hill snow associated with that, especially into scotland. whereas much of england and wales
3:58 am
with variable cloud and sunny spells, will stay dry, and temperatures still on the chilly side at around 4 to 8 degrees. as we go on through monday evening and monday night, this area of wet weather, some rain, some hill snow, maybe a bit of wet snow on the back edge, all sweeping its way southwards, clearing away from the far south—east on tuesday morning. following on from that, on tuesday will be some sunny spells, some showers on the north—westerly wind pushing into western parts of rain, sleet, hail, some snow to the hills and it will feel chilly on tuesday and particularly in that north—westerly breeze. and beyond that, as we go deeper into the week, it stays chilly. some frosty nights around. one or two showers particularly across western parts of the uk, but actually a fair amount of dry weather with variable cloud and sunny spells. you're watching bbc news, i'm reged ahmad. our top stories: president trump's plan to end the shutdown — "give me the money for my border
