. and researchers find an innovative way to feed cows and cut greenhouse gases in kenya. i've been to school and let's do business britain exits the european union tonight but it's not the end of break that this is where the fun begins in the coming months both sides will have to negotiate a new relationship during the transition period and africa is looking on eagerly for new opportunities in the days leading up to breaks at leaders of $21.00 african nations turned up to london for the very 1st u.k. africa investment summit jones and co for britain to be their investment partner of choice he highlighted deals worth billions of pounds in which british companies are providing anything and everything from smart street lighting in nigeria to environmentally friendly breweries in kenya but british trade with africa is only 2 percent of its total and britons way behind china dozens more african presidents attended the last china africa summit all the gatherings russia holds with the

continent. so well let's have a close look at how the u.k. sizes up to other economies when it comes to trade with africa it was far behind the confidence biggest 3 trading partners the european union china and the united states with just a fraction of total e.u. trade with africa and 2018 still with $19000000000.00 in official development united kingdom has been one of the leading contributors of development funding of which africa gets a big chunk it was 2nd only to germany and the city of london is the most significant financial center for african businesses outside the continent more than 100 african companies with a market capitalization exceeding 160000000000 a listed on the london stock exchange so what does the ukase exit from the e.u. mean for africa my colleague. is here to talk about exactly that 1st of all start with trade and investment between you the u.k.

and africa. what's going to happen that he's sick well i mean of course we saw the u.k. african vestment summit which is just mentioned and of course a lot of deals were mentioned where you know announced at that particular summit so they wanted to go to start the year with a bang when it came to trade with africa and they've also been increasing their trade stuff that you could come in has been increasing their trade stuff on the african continent by around 20 percent in like 23 countries if i remember correctly and they are trying to get as many people on the ground and trying to do as many things so we're going to hear a few more announcements probably going along in the year but in terms of what it how it compares to trade with africa from you know china or the u.s. with africa it's way behind and it's going to have to do a lot of catching up ok so we've talked a lot about the u.k. and it's a fit as far as africa goes what about the e.u. well the e.u. it's going to be interesting to see how the e.u. of course copes without the u.k.

the u.k. is a big contributor especially to the york and development fund in terms of money it's $1.00 of the biggest 3 it was you know france germany and the u.k. and they're going to be losing a lot of money so things are going to change the u.k. table basically even to have france and germany being the $2.00 biggest donors and african country that might want to get something done at the e.u. table might need to be speaking with those 2 countries so that's what's going to be interesting from the e.u. perspective there are any clear winners in this race clear winners we can say and it's complicated maybe that's the best way to say it i spoke with a couple of experts about this and what's interesting is of course seeing how things play out on the e.u. level whether it's germany or france taking more charge and how african countries can leverage their relations with those particular countries of course of the u.k. level it depends on what kind of relationship they have with the u.k. government that's you know of course boards johnson's government if they can

impress them with what they're doing and their priorities then things might actually play to the advantage so there are opportunities there but it remains complicated thank you very much to ponder nice to know. well it was 4 years ago that a majority vote it's a leaf the european union that breaks that referendum. the majority one of the opposite it shares a border with e.u. member states spain which was hotly contested at times but everyone's now having a hominy clothing a german residents of gibraltar. yani smock is on his way to work on a mild sunny morning the german ex-pat believes in spain but is employed in gibraltar 15000 workers commute across the border like this every day. you have the best of both worlds of good british salary in pounds and the spanish lifestyle that my family and i are fond of. the fed janice works for the

betting company lotto land the business has customers everywhere including the e.u. a competitor has already relocated many jobs to the tax haven malta and e.u. member state not all that just continuing to grow in gibraltar though and the boss says he's not worried i think net net there's been very little change in the gaming industry certainly we have no intention to move we have a license at about 8 or 9 jurisdictions including multinationals from the culture of european facing business but we don't have the stuff that and we've no intention of moving significant stuff the minister of finance doesn't see it as a threat to gibraltar as future 92 percent of its financial services business is conducted with the u.k. the bigger issue is the border with spain when you've got 1415000 people crossing the front in the morning to come into work and back in the evening it's a lot of people so we need to be sure that we have put in the time and the effort as we want to to ensure that there is no disruption to the fluidity which is

critical to both spain in terms of the surrounding area and the income that derives for them and for us in terms of the labor force that comes in to work. the border doesn't just separate countries it separates 2 very different economies the g.d.p. per capita is 4 times higher in japan alter than in spain without gibraltar spain would be much weaker the mayor of the neighboring city lavinia hopes that everything will continue as agreed. jed of it i think or course he had to choose here in 2013 it took people 4 or 5 hours to get to and from gibraltar and we're talking about people who work there every day. people on both sides of the border and hoping that briggs it won't harm their way of life. i feel very very sad as a european it's just very sad. that's the thing. that
