i know. but today. i only feel quite. relieved. we think this deal means a new stability and a new uncertainty in what is sometimes been a fractious and difficult relationship we will be your friend. you are on. your supporter and never be forgotten your number one market. i'm kate part of the program the deal is donna 4 years after the people of britain voted by a narrow margin to leave the european union the 2 sides have reached an agreement that outlines the terms of their future relationship the resolution comes just days

before a transition period that was due to end major sticking points in recent months have included securing a level playing field on trade resolution rights. let's take a listen to what e.u. commission president on a line had to say about this historic moment in the united kingdom in country. remains. on long island. we share the same value and in. whether it be the the $26.00 summit in the last. 7. tell young g 20 presidency the european union and united kingdom will. deliver on our common goal. and braces prime minister forest johnson has also been addressing the press let's take a listen to what he's been say i think you know. the new

certainty in what has sometimes been a fractious and difficult relationship we will be your friend your ally your supporter and indeed never let it be forgotten your number one market because although we've left the e.u. this country will remain culturally emotionally historically strategically geologically attached to europe and of course this deal was of a long time in the making and in many ways it represents the beginning of what could be a long post specs a journey in ice kingdom my colleague daniel winter on the road ahead. the deal is done a crisis of verted it's a relief for both sides after all half of the u.k.'s trade is with its european

neighbors and the u.k. is the e.u. 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 so much to a so-called 3rd country the u.k. has enhanced its decision making at home but so has access to the e.u. market whereas the e.u. has kept a key customer for billions of euros of goods a lot will change come the 1st of january the biggest the u.k. will be out of the e.u. single market but both sides will continue to have tariff free access to each other's economy citizens from either side will no longer have the automatic right to live and work in each other's territories there's likely to be delays of borders as everyone gets used to complicated new custom systems and the u.k. will stop most of its payments into the budget. selling british wares freely in the e.u.'s marketplace is the 1st big step but britain still has a monumental task ahead of it before brics it britain had access to scores of deals

now it's on a shopping spree buttering with partners to snap up trade pacts worldwide. 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 still there are noticeable absences the u.s. would be the big prize but president elect biden has voiced concerns over bracks it which could signal tough negotiations ahead canada has agreed a temporary deal while talks on a permanent trade pact to continue negotiations with australia started in the summer and are still ongoing whether the u.k. will do a trade deal with the world's 2nd biggest economy china is an open question the u.k. isn't part of the heavyweight economy anymore which could weaken the u.k.'s hand in these trade talks 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 after all that is dream of gaining sovereignty but to buy that they've given away their country's international influence. right now the u.k. needs good news for its economy as with every way that 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 good will the opportunity cost of brecht's it leave the u.k. phone 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 a stacked against them but by getting a deal with the e.u. done britons have looks beyond that island and taken the 1st important step speaking of looking beyond their own island that's at the transatlantic view on

this deal from business correspondent yes quite to in new york yes this is of course huge news here in europe how important is this deal for u.s. investors a particular well i mean more clarity and less uncertainty is always good for markets and actually we do see wall street gaining a bit in a shortened trading session here on thursday global trade disputes and also are usually not necessarily helpful and if we look back 4 and a half years ago when we did have this surprise brics that vote we also saw some pressure on wall street but having that said it's not necessarily a game changer for wall street this is mostly between the u.k. and the european union and investors on wall street they have so many things to deal with i mean there is the pent demick we are doing we do see some slowing growth so we have all this fight about a new a picket so there really a lot of things on the plate but it is welcome news also on wall street as i've

said we do see u.s. markets slightly to the upside. ok so u.s. investors have a lot of things on their mind right now but of course one of the biggest issues around rex it was britain wanting to make new trading relations and particular with the rest of the world world where do you think there were shipped between the u.s. and u.k. in the future you know i mean we have heard from boris johnson and there are some indications that the u.k. might push forward by liberal trade agreement because the united states the big question is if it's really in washington some high priority list to get those new deal done any time soon there is no pressure for the upcoming president joe biden 1st of all the u.s. actually has a trade surplus with the u.k. so why make big changes at this point and then also boris johnson was considered to be rather close with u.s.

president donald trump and i'm not so sure if we have the same feelings between the upcoming president joe biden and boris johnson so i would be cautious to really believe that we get a new trade deal anytime soon might be in the interest of washington to really clear things 1st was the european union and was china before they take care of the u.k. yes caught in new york thank you very much quite apart from backs of the run up to christmas is always a busy time especially for delivery workers but this year it's crazier than ever many people have taken to online shopping during the pandemic in germany alone some $11000000.00 parcels are being delivered each day at the moment here is a day in the life of a d.h.l. until every driver. for a parcel delivery driver joachim the day starts early because it's his van and a delivery base in south berlin just like several 100 of his colleagues every day

then they set out to deliver their packages and parcels to customers in the german capital the 55 year old says it's always crazy a few weeks before christmas but since the coronavirus kind demick there's been a boom in online shopping logistics companies have been inundated since march back into i definitely noticed a difference of course the number of parcels has gone up after the 1st wave there was massive growth. this december i'll definitely have to work overtime and on my days off to. d h o currently delivers of levon 1000000 parcels a day in germany alone before the pandemic they used to deliver some 5000000 a day. after a 20 minute drive arrives in his delivery district he has 160 parcels to deliver today on some days it can be up to 200 and they can weigh up to over 31 kilograms.

that's where i'm off on that we have a lot more large parcels and also more heavy parcels i really noticed that i think the tendency to order online was already there. but the virus has made it so much stronger still people have been shopping online for a while now and then think. with the onset of the pandemic and closed stores the benefits of online shopping become apparent ordering from the comfort of your sofa no risk of infection in crowded stores no climbing stairs or lucky when it comes to working conditions however none of the major delivery companies has a good reputation whether it's amazon's own delivery service hermes geo less or other providers many parcel services employ subcontractors and unions have pointed out countless cases of overtime hours and low wages ga post subsidiary d.h.l.

pays their delivery people according to tariff regulations they're trying to prevent the boom from overwhelming their delivery drivers as fuck we don't have enough people to fill all the jobs in the logistics field we've hired more than a 1000 temp workers and have an additional $13000.00 vehicles in service. does more than halfway through his shift he's pushed his packed parcel carts through narrow stairwells a dozen times today. he says the silver lining to the pandemic is that people now have a new respect for his job. on our show from watch at our website comics last business for me in the team it's a buy and take it. is
