infect global markets for the u.s. as the 3 biggest airlines have stopped flying to china. this is data we have business on robots in berlin welcome. the world's biggest trading bloc is about to get smaller the u.k.'s departure from the midnight brussels time will mark the start of britain's attempt to find a new place in the world at the top of the to do list is a new trade deal with the european union. it's a race against time. the u.k. and the e.u. have until the end of 2022 to find their new post brecht's that relationship and there's still a long way to go so one of the issues that needs sorting trade is the biggest one i think the trade relation between the 2 how are we going to trade with each other are we going to have tariffs or are we not going to have types in the way that we exchange goods and services that's going to be i think the biggest thing to do a successful outcome on this key issue will depend on the u.k.

agreeing to the ears calls for a level playing field the e.u. wants the u.k. to stick to e.u. rules out of fear that the u.k. will lower its standards or profit from unfair advantages but for british negotiators being freed of e.u. rules as one of the main drivers for bracks it so talks will be tough in my view the e.u. has a symmetrically bigger power when it comes to when it comes to trade each country in the you would be using one market the u.k. would be losing $27.00 markets. there is one element where i think the u.k. has got perhaps more of a say that is in the financial markets and that is basically london this city has served as a major financial hub for the whole of the e.u. as the e.u. doesn't want to lose that expertise the u.k. cook used the city of london as a bargaining chip in the negotiations and then there's the issue of fishing rights that could be a stumbling stone on the bumpy road to bracks it taking back control of british

waters was a key breck's a campaign pledge but the u.k. may have to compromise if it doesn't want the issue to scupper chances of finalizing a deal with the e.u. the u.k. leaving my view was unjustified and therefore i believe that it's going to be an economic cost for the u.k. so the closer we can keep when it comes down to the way we do trade for example the better it's going to be for both of us it's going to be an extremely tight race to get things done by the end of the year. well as well as an e.u. u.k. trade deal another major issue to be settled during the 11 month brics a transition period is the status of e.u. nationals wanting to work or live in britain because sykes heads a unit goshi ations at the confederation of british industries we asked if she supports london stance on ending free movement of those into britain despite causing trade friction. so business is very pragmatic over here is as it is in

germany and for us it's a case of how do we make this work and it's incredibly important that we get a system of migration into the k. that make sure that business is at all skill levels can access the people that they need and whether that's well that's in fall main whether that's in financial services all the way 3 different skill levels and that's something we're working with the government on at the moment that coming forth with a new proposal about sort of a points based immigration system making sure that we match people skills to the skills that we need to know in our economy and we're making sure that that is as open as possible that's nicholas sykes on the confederation of british industry now back in 2016 in the bronx referendum the british overseas territory of gibraltar voted overwhelmingly to stay in the u. it shares a border with the united states spain a border that's been hotly contested at times but everyone is now hoping the harmony including the german residents of gibraltar. yummies market is on his

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's 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 141-5000 people crossing the front of 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 of 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 hopes that everything will continue as agreed. jed the big thing or course i had to choose here in
