garrett when i was talking with an investor this morning about this situation he told me that he was pretty sure that most likely their share price of a volkswagen would go down it finished yesterday with a big class of two per cent and in the first minutes off the trading day the volkswagen shares were indeed for just a couple of minutes in the red and then they recovered now they are even here in the green zone with a class of more than one per cent it seems to be the case that analysts and investors are not as worried at the moment because all of this if this goes through it's going to be an extremely a long prose that it can probably even take a couple of years until we would get a verdict from the courts here in germany and even if a court would rule in favor off that these are the car owners here in germany they would still have to go individually also through the courts even. more time would

clarity over trade post breaks it because free trade has been a matter of war and peace in northern ireland the irish border region has been a focal point for sectarian tensions for decades decades but now it's become a place of prosperity. the border running through the tiny irish community of month is hardly recognizable anymore to drive the few miles to dairy has become something quite normal in recent years dairy is in northern ireland which is part of the united kingdom before the border was heavily guarded if you look for them you can still find relics from that time most people here don't want to go back to that the open border has brought many people jobs and a steady income it's also made the region attractive to tourists. one hears a similar story everywhere along the five hundred kilometer border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland. but bricks it is making people here

possibility of course has been restored they're worried about the possibility of their supply chains been affected so just a great deal of uncertainty and needn't a great worry and concern me for decades it has this border region was a focal point in the troubles as we call it. but then also the friday agreement. wasn't even factored into the referendum compan really much at all for thirty years the troubles caused three thousand five hundred deaths in northern ireland done so menard and indeed some in mainland u.k. and that a lot of that violence happened around the border region and a lot of it was related to incidents of the border and customs posts on british army presence and so on so to even think about returning to any form of a border regime to a region which had such problems around the border before is quite dangerous and reckless even though no one's saying that it's nestor going to need to return but to even risk it is too high a price just briefly explain to use the old border how how was that know it's an
