be forgotten you're number one market because although we've left the e.u. this country will remain culturally emotionally historically strategically geologically attached to europe not least of course through the 4000000 e.u. nationals who have requested to settle in the u.k. over the last 4 years and to make an enormous contribution to our country and to our lives. to london and brussels that where we find d.w. correspondents childhood shells and charlotte chelsea tellen alexandra naaman welcome both let's start in brussels with you alexandra what's in this deal well i think that what is the most important takeaway here is that this deal sealed today it's going to guarantee tariff free trade between the u.k.

and the european union and most goods and it's also going to a create a platform for future corporations on issues such as crime fighting energy data exchange and of course what is also important both sides appeared to have agreed on the mechanism that would help in the future to sell a 2 fold disputes between the european union and the u.k. and talking about fisheries it's also good news for the youth fishing men and women they are going to have access to u.k. waters in the future it will be reduced but there will be a transition period of 5 and a half years so you know let's pick up the points on fisher's with chelsea on the pill that vision as well was a big symbol on both sides charlotte is boris johnson going to be able to sell the steel as a good one to british fisheries. it

was indeed it's becoming a huge symbol of whether or not this break that deal would be considered a success so whether boris johnson was seen as as selling out on his deal now the emphasis placed on fish really is not matched by his i can all make value in the u.k. which is it's very small but it's very important politically to explain that you have to understand the whole reason people voted for pranks it was to take back control and that includes taking back control of british waters not is something that boris johnson stressed a great deal in the press conference that he gave a short time ago in fact he told the british public and i'm going to try and find the quote that the u.k. would be drink would be eating rather prodigious amounts of fish going forward so he really did place stress on that now the devil will be in the detail looking through exactly what this deal means there will be as alexandra said this

transition period of 5 and a half years back that. boris johnson stressed that that was significantly lower than the e.u. was asking for so he is selling it as a win ok we'll talk about. about solving this off now so alexandra where does this go as far as europe is concerned who has to do wants to get to making such a. well it's important now for all you members to sign off on the deal that's why the ambassadors are going to need to in brussels tomorrow but this is just the start of a longer process of all the e.u. governments have to approve the deal. has already announced for a cabinet is going to decide on then the on the 28th of december and if all the $27.00 member states are on board then the commission

has the possibility to provisionally implement the deal so that the u.k. is not crashing out of the european union on the 1st of january without a deal but of course then it is important for the european parliament to approve this deal and we have already heard from european parliament's presidents our soul the saying that they regret this last minute decision but they wanted to act responsibly to prevent any cares and the vote of the european parliament is expected to take place in the beginning of january jones and bill boris johnson has something like an 80 seats majority in parliament does that mean that this deal is going to just go through in the not. there is

a huge amount of concern here bill about whether this is is or isn't going to possibly through parliament is that is what is expected indeed even the opposition party leader here in the days running up to this deal announced mint has said very clearly that a deal was preferable for his party over the prospect of a no deal and it was encouraging the prime minister to reach one so it is expected that the labor party as well as you said is boris's jones and i mean majority will back this deal now of course there is going to be a lot of scrutiny from critics. and hardline right to see is just to see exactly where the concessions have been made whether or not they're happy with what's going on indeed rex's here hiring lawyers to look through these 2000 or so pages of legal tax so i'm sure there will be a lot of wrangling alternately though it is expected that this will pass through parliament ok alexandra we'll come back to you in just

a moment 1st we're going to take a look at what is next for the trading relationship between the e.u. and the u.k. daniel winton from business has been looking into. the deal is done a crisis of it's a relief for both sides after roll half of the u.k.'s trade is with its european neighbors and the u.k. is that you use 3rd largest trading partner the talks were painful but the alternative was worse pushing the begrudging neighbors closer together never has the european union offered to so much to a so-called 3rd country the u.k. has enhanced its decision making at home but still has access to the e.u. market whereas the e.u. has kept a key customer for billions of euros of goods selling british wares freely in the e.u. as marketplace's the 1st big step but britain still has a monumental task ahead of it before brics and britain had access to scores of deals now it's on a shopping spree buttering with partners to snap up trade pacts weld wind.

the u.k. has already signed up $59.00 countries to continue trading under the same conditions as with the e.u. plus a fresh deal with japan that's $220000000000.00 euros worth of trade the new deal will be a relief on both sides of the channel but for britain the toughest times may lie ahead experts predict economic growth to slow living standards to drop right now the u.k. needs good news for its economy as with every wet the pandemic has eaten away at growth hastening the decline of thousands of small towns and cities getting trade humming through britain's ports will help mitigate those effects but will the opportunity cost of brecht's it leave the u.k. far weaker in the world than it could have been or will britain confound critics and build itself into a single pull on the english channel the odds are stacked against them but by getting a deal with the e.u.

done britons have looks beyond their island and taken the 1st important step so back to alexandra and show us in brussels london alexandra national governments have to sign off on this as you said i do remember one deal with the canadians where suddenly the walloons put everything in jeopardy other likely to behold arts . well not really at least according to what he really are hearing from the europe's capitals right now we are getting more or less only positive reactions starting with the french president emmanuel mccall who said that the unity and strength paid off on the brakes of the deal and that this deal is essential to protect citizens fisherman and producers italy's prime minister contour also comes to deal saying that this will guarantee a fair competition and the german chancellor angela merkel even said that this deal

is of his story importance and that this is a base for the future relationship for rebuilding their relationship with the u.k. so we're hearing quite positive signals and i think that the chances that the deal will be rejected are slim to none ok so the chosen pilbara shaun's and smiling from ear to ear about this deal but there are storm clouds on the horizon so the scottish 1st minister just reminding everyone that scotland voted against leaving the e.u. are we looking at perhaps the possible breakup of the u k. phil said nicholas says in the festivities here at minister of scotland is it's famously known friends of brecht's it but let me just read you this tweet that she said

a couple of hours ago she said before the spin starts it's worth remembering that bracks it is happening against scotland will that scotland's will that's what you're referring to that that if you take scotland in isolation it did not vote in favor of leaving the european union she goes on to say and there is no deal that will ever be made off what brecht it's been taken away from this is time to chartering as an independent european nation so as you say you can see the storm clouds could be building around this issue over the coming months charlotte charleston in the london eye is underfund nominee brussels thank you both take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world ethiopian state media say the military has killed more than 40 people involved in wednesday's massacre in western benson golan region security forces arrested 5 local officials following the attack which nothing more than a 100 people dead insulated episode of unrest in the country following a deadly a civil war in tikrit i. austria's opened its game list for christmas the
