to get over. our 2 part documentary about the revolutionary power of music. martin john. songs become pieces of history. or songs like that don't go away but stay with us for all time by. the sound of fresh starts february 7th w. . the u.k. has left the european union the world's biggest trading bloc just got smaller now person begins the business of striking deals with the rest of the world. one of the main bones of contention in the e.u. and present was freedom of movement we take a look at what breaks it could mean for workers in jobs. british overseas tara

future growth has a direct border with a new member spain look at the situation for business and what has that. this is do we have business on robots in berlin welcome along the u.k. is no longer a member of the european union he used 28 member states became 27 midnight brussels time. these were the scenes when the moment came in london. 3 and a half years after the u.k. 1st voted to leave the e.u. the bell tolled for breck's it now is left in the u.k. to find a new place in the world separate from its former european partners. but for now nothing really changes for the next 11 months the u.k. remains subject to european union regulations and standards during that transition period britain and the e.u. will try to negotiate a new relationship with the aim of voting
12:32 am
a new deal breaks it at the end of this year but time is not on their side. 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 need 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 e.u.'s 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 rules as one of the main drivers for bracks it so talks will be tough in my view e.u. has a symmetrically bigger power when it comes to when it comes to trade each country
12:33 am
in the you would be losing 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 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
12:34 am
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. now negotiations about the u.k.'s future relationship with the e.u. begin in earnest in early march a key issue is free trade plus the status of the you workers in britain and vice versa european union is pushing to ensure that e.u. citizens enjoy the greatest possible freedom of movement even after breaks it but they may have to fight to get what they want. 3.2000000 each use citizens are currently living and working in the u.k. and according to the withdrawal agreement they'll have residency rights for the rest of their lives the same applies to the 1200000 brits living in the e.u. states but there may be obstacles for new arrivals in the future after all ending freedom of movement was one of the main reasons why many brits are supportive that is there's a chance for other e.u. countries. mclucas this coming before stern this could actually present an
12:35 am
opportunity for the european union and because if britain decides it no longer wants to invite over skilled workers then it's important for a country like germany to be an attractive option for them because we may very well be facing a shortage of workers in the coming years it's. about me my name is known ha. among other countries germany is hoping it will create new jobs several companies are considering relocating to germany from britain and there's been much interest in the financial sector in particular several banks have already moved their european headquarters to frankfurt or at least open branches there 1500 new jobs have been created there already many of which have been filled by british citizens. while enjoy the vast majority of people voted to remain in the e.u. but the british overseas territory shares a border with even the best spain has been hotly contested at times after breaks it will be subject to british trade rules everyone now hopes any complications or not
12:36 am
can be solved on the new city of course including german residents of spain who work in gibraltar surely textbook examples of the benefits of freedom of movement in europe. jani smock font is on his way to work on a mild sunny morning the german ex-pat lives 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 john is 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 lottery land 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
12:37 am
gaming industry said we have no intention to move we have a licensing rights in one jurisdictions including multinationals from the cultural european facing business but we don't have any 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 and you 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 there is no disruption to the through that it's here 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. dead or quarter he had it he was 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 are hoping that brags it won't harm their way of life. for me i feel very very sad as a european it's just very sad. a 4th. starting saturday the e.u. flag will no longer fly here communities on both sides hope that will be the only change. back in britain itself threats a day is particularly poignant for those with close ties across the channel take for example the people of st margaret's cliff one of the closest points between the
12:39 am
u.k. and its neighbors friends. the white cliffs of dover for centuries they were a symbol of britain's power and independence and these days they take on special meaning especially for those living right here on the coast. said margaret said cliff is a hamlet of 2500 people literally within eyesight of france indeed cell phone calls are usually routed through the french network as the nearby cliff blocks access to the british signal. or yeah we're really proud of you know our relationship was with our neighbors in france and they're literally less than 20 miles away from where we were sitting now. we've always had a. good relationship with sleep with. friends on the continent and now i think they're looking at us and that there's an element of distrust think people are

starting to look at what's happened happening in this country and. they don't feel they can trust coming here anymore. for gavin oakley that translates into empty hotel rooms usually 70 percent of his rooms are booked at this time of year currently it's 5 percent over at the village store uncertainty over breaks it runs high if this is going to happen then. it's happening. to. me already waited for more than 3 years almost 3 years now and. it has been putting the economy. on to hold. and hopefully it's going to move on from here on. totally dependent on one another . and i don't think they can do without it we cannot do without them we want to do the best. for some the best they can do on a day like this it's going over to the pub have
