quite normal in recent years derry 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 island and the republic of ireland. but bricks it is making people here nervous for a long time now tradesmen have worked on both sides of the border up businesses have branches in both countries and if hours long border controls were reintroduced the tourists who have brought the region modest prosperity would also stay away. more joined by author sullivan who's a d w reporter d.w.

business reporter who's just come back from there are you also grew up there know the area quite well and you've just reported on how business businesses are dealing with the prospect of bragg's it what's the mood in the border region i would say the mood is one primarily of worry and concern and also a lot of uncertainty. the main thing that it's thrown up is at the moment on the present owners is that they don't know what's going to happen obviously we don't even know at the moment if there's going to be an e.u. summit in november or not we don't know when the next one's going to be because the such uncertainty over the negotiations are going on as one business owner said to me when i was there politicians can make decisions at the last minute and be hailed as a hero but if a businessman leaves it to last to make a decision it can be catastrophic for the business so it's worry and concern primarily prompted by the ongoing uncertainty over what would be the final or. went on the island of ireland today and brags that what our business is fearing most specially business is in that area that the border area between northern ireland

and the republic of ireland their biggest fear would be a change in the current costanza arrangements that exist so obviously at the moment for the last twenty five years you can i wouldn't have both existed in the e.u. single market and their customs union which means that there's no coast of checks or any sort of difference in the trading of goods or supply chains across the border any change to the us arrangement could mean substantial changes for multiple sectors from agriculture manufacturing freight transport and so on and so forth so they're worried about any changes that could either increase their costs in terms of production or that could scare off consumers and force them to either lay off staff or make any substantial changes to the business because when you close the border and you introduce customs posts everything in your business has to be started start again describe to me how what was that border like before the good friday agreement before. everything was as open as it is now but to tell you very quickly so the border was originally imposed in the one hundred twenty s.

and up until the one nine hundred fifty s. there were calls to his posts but there was quite a lot of smoking went on it was quite taken quite seriously but it was simply a cost in the border and people could still get a cross relatively easily then once the trouble started in the late one nine hundred sixty s. gradually that became a militarized border with a heavy british army presence and substantial security checks and became quite a dangerous zone it was probably one of the most dangerous places in europe at the time however even shared e.u. membership and then the master treaty meant that the cost of post gradually came down and obviously then over the years the peace camp in northern ireland so by the time did it i mean i remember as a child and as a teenager in the ninety's there were substantial checks at that border but by one thousand nine hundred the border was essentially invisible it was gone and that's been the case for the last twenty years very briefly people aboard could return absolutely when you want to borders there and then it suddenly disappears i don't think it's very smart to put it back there again as people in germany will know as well as anyone thank you very much author sullivan of his. here in germany

a new law has come into effect today class action lawsuits for the first time in german legal history consume organization made use of it on the very first day filing a lawsuit against folks. say the comic or deliberately cheated its customers with manipulated software twenty six thousand customers have signed up already. or one from hamburg is an unhappy v.w. customer like many others she couldn't sue fox wagon until now she's joined the class action lawsuit against the comic. they'll be called to account now even people like me who don't have legal insurance have the opportunity to sue a big company. a new german law makes it possible for plaintiffs to file a lawsuit together in this case against a b w so instead of thousands of individual cases as of today

a legal representative can file an action on behalf of several plaintiffs the german consumer association has filed a lawsuit against folks for going for its cheating software on diesel emissions. lost considerable value and they possibly have higher operating costs above all there is of course a considerable loss of trust that's why we think the vehicle purchase price should be refunded in full. full sargon says no damage has been done to the customers the cars are registered safe and ready to drive but that might be up to germany's federal supreme court to decide if the class action is successful customers like you. will have to claim the exact amount of damages themselves the legal dispute would then go to a second round. how old were you when you got your first job in thailand a group of primary school students already picking up a useful trade cutting have self ronde barber shop gives kids a leg up on
