well i don't know and i think it is very scary sometimes i can i get my medication here i need said martin they have to go there to get it and if they don't if i'm not allowed to go there then there will be some problem for people who need medical attention. or has a population of around $15000.00 tourism is the island's economic engine but it hinges on a good relationship with its neighbors and martin. the large planes that shuttle in the bulk of the tourists can't land in. the runways are too short they land on st maarten where the runways are popular for being so near to the beach 95 percent of the tourists who come to angola 1st arrive in st martin.
12:37 am
and well as 33 white beaches are its biggest attraction sun sand and seafood that's all holidaymakers here are looking for. tourism is the backbone of anglers economy and its chief source of income. the island's most famous musician banky banks can be found here on the beach he used to play with bob marley but it was for them. the bird. is what you see what you look at. you know big. big ocean. but still. great people.
12:38 am
people. real people. here live on the edge of a legislator like say. the well traveled calypso and reggae singer has a very clear opinion on banks that he says the british are dishonest and should take this opportunity to prove to the world that they are more than just well groomed hypocritical diplomats. british what the other is a small little piece of the earth like this that all the empire. which is centuries they've been dealing in diplomacy which is false we've. never seen the truth about any situation. said no rex it is the court with. the support and the british have to say the truth about. to themselves and to the
12:39 am
work. they have believe them been doing that for years to get a nice a practice in. banking banks is not the only one seeking clarity in the whole banks it discussion. is on his way to meet someone who has been making a living from tourism for 50 years alan gums is a hotel and restaurant owner and used to be the island's director of tourism. rich it is a result of what happens perhaps we don't think something is true from the very very beginning. what about their colonies and how to fix their colonies going into the european union has that been the is that being considered within this brics it now it was not to anybody defend our interests a lot of it. can lessen whether we're didn't side well in
12:40 am
a better position with the european community is more important to us than then this affiliation with great britain and what we're getting there we want to go independent as a country and then all the things that come from that flow from that that i mentioned earlier where the british said that we cannot take it from china. the way as we say well we. made it will go independent and then we can take it from china which maybe morning we're getting some very good i mean these are these are very these are questions that have not really been the really thought out by the people living will. breaks it is a great divider not only on the island itself and glare is dependent on imports almost all goods have to be shipped all flown in. 90 percent of its oil comes from sent him.
12:41 am
in politics products are usually paid for in us dollars and gorilla is rather pricey. around 2 thirds of its tourists come from the us private jets often land at a small international airport by anglers capital in the valley an extension has been under consideration for years. he head of the airport authority has long been dreaming of an airport with direct connections to north america and europe. the travel overseas says see if relatively good we do medical treatment of us here that is not available on the island and so on so there's a lot of war going by residents and of course our tourism which is the economic engine. if you don't have good communication and tons of passengers by and also by sea we have quite cut off. hot border between
12:42 am
angola and some mountain with import tariffs and border controls would be a nightmare frank williams and the end of that caribbean many. of these and. we believe that really. we have a phone with us to survive so even though it's a challenge we pretty confident we have it a sub but if we have a special the language and community understand martin committed both on the debt and the french side. is by and large one community from one. heritage standpoint. a ferry runs to st martin twice an hour. each sunday. time for a family outing. felix

12:44 am
knows about the remote no one rather you want to group or you want to bring a career of this kind a relationship that should have been at the ready you know before you decide to leave. you know you should know or you want to believe well that is for us. for your peer group to say we are still being governed by england said lightens governed by a friend and alone you know this so close together we're proud to be separated for a. time it would be unthinkable the family wouldn't be able to come together as easily as they do now visiting the cemetery together would no longer be this straight forward. to a less. than 10 herons grave they praying for a peaceful future. in we are hoping that we will be able to do this and c.e.o.
12:45 am
of families and sheer say martin french and dutch the way we have for centuries. the harder it is you border would make all of that impossible. d.j. hammer isn't too hopeful about the future after breaks it on the evening of banks a day he meets friends on the strip a small street in the valley popular on the weekends. if you if you look at all be a bit of usable bricks that's up i'm sure to give you the following developments you know up there what they don't tell it cannot tell us where we stand and let them know with us that because they themselves are really going over to the local grocer has got to be a burger with overburdened with that. kind of britain because over its future 6000
12:46 am
kilometers away and going until they have been overlooked they talk about great britain's forgotten border with the e.u. . i feel. disrespected because. well not even involved in the fort. we are right next door the across all yes they have a bottom but we have she had severed ties between the french and the dutch for years and nobody consulted us. brits it. has been done in the last couple of years is that we don't make judgments in facet gulf in our lives. but just accept. d.j. hammers local barbecue joint teams next door and when is national dish is chicken usually with rice and peas you can is the fabric you king of the island. a can of the good of the tree are you doing a good good measure you say good evening to you have had
12:47 am
a good figure like me what secular government to go back yes to that. most of the country here is imported too for now it's still cheap normally t.j. hammer would order more to eat as pranks it brewed his appetite regular customers to maggie chick you know what normally it's only when we were not happy ones the. earth. does good. and cooler is not the place for a bustling nightlife add cans barbecue with a side of chicken and ribs breaks it is the main dish or whatever else you would do kids but there's been a little bit of us if. they were just don't think they're going to never consulted with those not me to take it it's like we don't have a light year it is really important point us to shop the more fruits you know with
12:48 am
other see. that's the issue of it all of the. former british colony the island still depends on its former colonial rulers and. and the e.u. when. they have the brits the situation ok did you read my garden may not benefit. from the european or retrieve like when i was going to be here actually get some fun with my new phone and from there i heard all that going to affect the island directly after. the us flag their. heritage cannes barbecue is where everyone comes to me top of canadian farah makita runs an organization which depends on e.u. subsidies she's been living in angola for 15 years the biologist is head of the national trust and is in charge of conservation on the island and good as nature and wildlife were heavily hit by hurricane.
12:49 am
farah meets her staff at sunrise they're building an artificial snorkeling trials for tourists. quite happened as we stop them and their spaces between each of these layers and the space this is what provides the habitat to the different marine life so the fish fish shrimp good lobsters and then eventually will actually have algae in and hopefully coral growing on these as well so we get this really nice an artificial reef happening. sustainable eco friendly tourism also interests guests from the u.s. east coast. people are starting to get that there is lots of green. you
12:50 am
see turtles and sharon in my house in front of you guys on your opinion on things are on the 3rd floor yeah i'm going up. like you. i'm. when i received 14000000 euros from the 11th european development fund it covers over a 3rd of the island's entire development budget but the funding will run out in 2020. from arecibo just a bit confused about how it's actually going to affect any other from our perspective the national trust perspective it does mean that we're not going to be able to access really important fights for a lot of the work that way down which is quite unfortunate. the u.k. will hardly take over the subsidies currently coming in from brussels it seems angola is not a high enough priority to the british government. tourism is and will is livelihood to see its capital.
12:51 am
and so the plan for the. business of the fall is going to snuff a little on the trail this is going to let them look up to the north to break that lead good to see those should go i'll be at the bottom of the fall it's not. as they come down i'm going to start putting them together so that's my role for today and then they feel comfortable with the steel and i'm going to say the full so that the current president. since november 28th seen there has been a diving and snorkelling trial in the little bay marine park right on the coast it was made with 2 purposes to create a new tourist attraction and to support sustainable tourism and underwater biodiversity.
12:52 am
fishing is not allowed here lobsters and turtles have settled very thinks it will take a few more years. as for a real reef to grow with healthy coral. back on land d.j. hammer has found an interesting guest for his morning show a blogger from angola who has been living in england with her family for half a year. well look you see good due to you show used in the u.k. on good do to you are you doing. well you did yamma. really good here on a friday afternoon. i want to hear from you for us. you know the. feedback divide you must be multilingual as in the u.k. a beer or what's the feedback like what's the vibe back there on the growing i am
12:53 am
really exhausted by the subject of this and. this is too much of a look at the news you know that let's take the number one story and it's all this something new so it's just you know i just never know what to expect sands i still don't know what the outcome is just a force for us there in the snow around the world so it's pretty pretty scary which are you sure are thank you for your time. here writes her blog my anguish experience from a cafe in cambridge she normally likes giving restaurant temps but she can't escape the ever present breaks it came. at the end of the day we called british passport just like any other british citizen and i would hope that the cause that be will make sure that all 100 stars are represented as we are not supposed to be any less than any other british does then you know we're supposed to be afloat at the very
12:54 am
same rates as they are the biggest. she wishes her island would receive the same kind of attention that ireland to northern ireland have throughout the breaks in negotiations the harder you border would be just as much of a catastrophe for her and her family and whelan's. husband is studying in cambridge she will be spending 2 years here with him and their son. hi there i'm from and i learned called angle that so actually i'm a blogger. and i'm just on some research on the fact you know rex it might affect a country like i do have in it but there's been it not even a consideration of the fact that there's a united kingdom but you have to represent correct that if there's diverse interest of which we were calling for it's not certain what in business or if so when you have that arrogance it doesn't surprise me that they wouldn't consider what the channel islands feels would guernsey feels what feels right to venice that i think
12:55 am
we should have left because apparently trade is going to be way more expensive than most people in england when you go to that to get foreign people out of the country but most the time they say all they're taking our jobs or whatever but it's been this they're not lazy like most british people and that's who do the work and they i don't know i think is a bad idea we should have left and not people trying to say that we should take them but again. there are too many students in the city for cambridge to reflect the average english view in 2 years when her husband has finished his studies she leaves here and the family will return to angola. shelly's here feels homesick whenever she sees fish at the market. i don't know if there is a week that goes by when i don't think gosh i would love to have lobster or some
12:56 am
kong customs now or you know so i definitely miss the people from michael. whether it's asian problems all classic british fish and chips for seafood available here is not much of a consolation. you never know there was a time when fishing was as important as tourism is today. the word angry that means an italian and refers to the shape of the island according to surveys around 90 percent of residents would have voted remain. as a child of the day i consider it but i have a lot of it on children and teach your children your child bad well. you know what the other took from others. when former british prime minister david cameron called the bronx it referendum he spared no thoughts of british caribbean fisherman. if you lose the password you can go to google i guess you have to get
12:57 am
a visa. the press would go out of the world. so the past was important to us ok so marking it was important was to and even more so because a photo was a. situation similar to zohan. was going to end we'll you know and if it goes terribly wrong that could be could be impacted negatively. could go bankrupt without tourism it's like the island's life line borders and trade barriers may sound abstract but a passport is something quite real. this is my european passport this document here allows disability around the world and this document is a valuable very valuable tool for the people of a world i cannot imagine be the whole life would be without this document you know
12:58 am
once we exit deal of the european union i don't know what will please the document and this is the uncertainty the most it will freeze today. d.j. am i won't tire of reporting on developments in the united kingdom he wants to illustrate the consequences of leaving the e.u. . breaks a deal would not be good for harm for us at all in angola and of course the other british overseas territories as well so. we are just about 830 that's our time here this morning. and we will know for the for the you said that the last ones. in the bronx it has been postponed until the end of october 29th team it's unlikely that the concerns of british overseas territories will be heard by then meanwhile language than 6000 kilometers away from britain can only wait and see.
