the bloc. why has that approach is what are some of the sentiments in the u.k. and how are people marking this day their d w has been out on the streets of london to ask people what the big day means to them. sovereignty back and have a lot more control i think that's the one thing that's what we're really going to get from at the moment we're very disappointed that you know we're being followed while that that the country has been you know misled into this decision so it's a sad time there's nothing we can control sadly about bret's it so it's done so i think we need to try and move forward and see what happens to our best of it we've got to destroy it sort of show. should really believe it's been a long time and it's been very bitter and i think you know you have to move on and i think everybody is going to try and do that you know from the government and

institutions to say fingers crossed ok desire to move on in london let's get the german perspective on all of this i'm joined by francis de broughton or a german lawmaker a member of the green party former european parliamentarian thanks so much for coming in for us today. the u.k. will be leaving the u.n. just a matter of hours what are your personal thoughts and and feelings at this historic juncture. for me it's a sad moment i was in london last week and leaving and feeling that you know this is the last time i've been here. at the u.k. being a member of the european union that it is a sad moment for me i like the u.k. i've lived there. yeah it's sad. it's sad for you right now but but looking back could the e.u. have done more to prevent the u.k. from leaving from this moment happening right now for example before the referendum that led to this day. i think there might have been changes much more

back actually in the past which might have improved the e.u. for everybody when you talk about reform of agriculture so there are some aspects of the you criticise in the u.k. before that you know we also wanted to improve but i've always if you want improved you stay inside and you do it with us we do it jointly and there was so much fake news so many lies out there so i'm not sure how you we could have been better probably we should have engaged more as european citizens in the referendum campaign we were all told to stay outside sometimes i regret that i have followed that call not. to come to the u.k. during the referendum sometimes i think we should all have come. and protest that against the lies and put out our vision our common vision for a better europe. so using teaching more of the past might have been helpful to

reach your goals but what about engaging in the future germany will be playing a crucial role in tough negotiations over the next 11 months what will be some of the biggest challenges there and how should germany engage in this process. we want to have a good and an ambitious future relationship but it's clear that it has to be fair and i think that's what germany will have to insist on to say that you know when there are going to be rights they're going to be duties we will keep our standards our environmental social standards and i know many in the u.k. want that too so it's going to be a joint fight for keeping our yeah an open and also good. relationship with the u.k. and i am afraid of of course of dumping but i'm hopeful that there will be enough people in the u.k. also protesting against we will keep a fair and balanced relationship fairness of course very important to everyone involved in this process francis dubrovnik german lawmaker member of the green

party thanks so much for coming in today thank you well with the u.k. about to start a new chapter in history let's have a look at how we got to this point it all started with that crucial referendum back in 2015 announced by queen elizabeth. just introduced to provide for an end now to referendum on membership of the european union before the end of $27.00. that single sentence from the queen's speech set off a process that would disrupt politics for years. david cameron prime minister at the time introduced the referendum he didn't want britain to leave the e.u. would all he wanted to bring his party's many critics into line. a months long campaign followed that hardliners especially nigel for raj and boris johnson sought to turn public opinion against europe with aggressive slogans and as would later become clear lines. the date of the referendum was june 23rd

2016 and the day after. this means that the u.k. has voted to leave the european union. running. in august. and the right next. prime minister cameron resigned and tourism a took over as boss at 10 downing street. opponents and pranks its supporters were irreconcilable the new prime minister tried to make the best of it . rex it means bricks it and we're going to make a success of it march 29th 2019 was set as the braggs a date but it was still a long way off. negotiations dragged on for more than a year. then may and her counterparts signed the bracks a deal. the problem was may was unable to get parliamentary backing for it

so they're no use having the nose have it. twice may had to ask the e.u. for a postponement of britain's leave date breck's it became breck's tension and may ultimately resigned. boris johnson became her successor the bracks of champion from the very outset. but even he failed several times at 1st because of opposition in parliament and the bracks a date had to be postponed once more. the prime minister made a gamble early elections his strategy worked. boris johnson's conservatives won an absolute majority with this by this majority we will at last be able to do what. was there you tension

now after years of political tug of war nothing else stands in the way of britain's departure from the european union. ok let's move from the past the future i'm here with a breakfast analyst rob morning to you rob what's going to change at the stroke of midnight tonight well anything they different for people in the u.k. in a year i mean there is a list hyperbole about this seismic shift as of midnight but essentially the realities on the ground mean that within this 11 month transition period when both sides were trying to create a deal nothing much changes really because the u.k. will still be part of the single market the customs union it will continue paying into the budget so it will have to follow the rules but cannot shape and form them anymore and citizens on both sides will continue to enjoy their rights to welcome travel and move around. until

a deal is in place whenever that might be ok so we can look at it as as an 11 month trend transit. you know the trade talks within the uni u.k. they're going to be very tough what are some of the big hurdles i mean it's going to start out with the fishing rights it's back to the 1970 s. and that debate is in with the fishing rights is going to be huge i think that will be one of the key pillars if they can get that sold within that or find it doubtful within the next 6 months then that would be a key step to then tackling all the other issues like defense security education but the fisheries is going to be a huge problem and we shouldn't forget that if they notice the talks are progressing then boris johnson would be required to last for an extension of the talks by july the 1st now he has adamantly ruled that salvos life 1st is a day to take where we want to check where we are and that's the date where he would have to apply for an extension. as i say so far he has ruled that out

completely that may be a bit of typical blustering on his part but i think the closer we get to that date i think the realities will then come into force them to rob bunches of a budget analyst thanks very much for the. the state of new news live from berlin still to come on our show less than a week after the death of kobe bryant the lakers are set to return to the court look at how the team will be commemorating one of their greatest ever players. but 1st the human rights group amnesty international has criticized plans by greece to deploy a floating barriers a way to prevent migrants from reaching its islands from turkey the group called the plan an alarming escalation in the government's efforts to stop migrants from reaching its shores. the ministry of defense has announced new plans to protect the external you border so that no more refugees from turkey can cross into greece.
