a reporter will tell me what the major points of the deal are in just a moment but 1st this report on the day the deal was done. just days before the january 1st deadline britain is set to leave the european union with a trade deal after months of wrangling the 2 sides finally agreed to the terms on which the e.u. would be allowed to continue fishing in british waters the last piece of the puzzle to fall into place before the deal could be announced both sides are selling the agreement as the best deal for their positions british prime minister boris johnson said it would benefit government part of the u.k. a deal that will protect jobs across this country do allow goods u.k. goods and components to be sold without tariffs and without quotas in the e.u. market a deal which will if anything allow our companies and our exporters to do even more business with our european friends over in brussels the e.u.

chief said it was time to look to the future. we will continue trading with ukraine in all areas of mutual interest for example in the field of climate change and that's the security and transfixed to care of the least still its chief more than we do a part of president the deal needs the approval of both the british parliament and the e.u.'s $27.00 member states ambassadors from each countries will meet on christmas day to start reviewing the deal the british parliament will debate and vote on the deal on december 30th. to tell you reporter told already has been looking at the details of the deal and he joins me now in the studio for more are joel is it fair to say there are any winners in this agreement well this is a divorce agreement so it was always going to be slightly painful for both sides and both sides have had to make compromises to avoid the chaos of

a no deal brags that on january 1 we can have a look now at what is in some of this more than 2000 pages of of an agreement so firstly and most importantly there will be no tariffs on goods traded between the u.k. and the european union so german cars will not get more expensive in the u.k. and vice versa fishing rights was a major barrier the e.u. has agreed to give up only a quarter of the fish that it catches in british waters and the u.k. fishing industry is unhappy about this outcome there's no role same for the european court of justice which was a major issue for the u.k. and instead disputes will be settled by an independent panel and it will be an end to the freedom of movement of people between britain and the e.u. with new conditions for residency and travelers will face restrictions so come january 1 citizens from both sides of the channel are going to have just 90 days of travelling in the other it's territory before they can have to start applying for visas and so forth and these negotiations are really came down to the wire what would you say arson of the major downsides of the deal we just because we have

a deal doesn't mean there won't be disruptions and in fact british exporters face major hurdles now trying to get their goods into europe that is going to be new paperwork new procedures possible border checks and business groups in the u.k. say that they are not prepared for this also financial services are not included in this deal that's going to be a huge issue for the u.k. as very big financial services sector they face uncertainty professional qualifications will no longer be automatically recognised by countries on both sides so doctors engineers nurses they're going to have to get their qualifications checked by each individual government and also has one as a. really provoked outrage on social media the u.k. is withdrawing from the erasmus program this is the study program that allows university students to easily go and study across the channel that's going to end now particularly for the u.k. students and many people are tweeting out saying how sad they are because this was really the foundation of many of their personal relationships and the start of

their careers and this is where briggs is going to really be felt in the end to those postal connections the ability to just go and move and study those cultural connections between the u.k. and the european union are slowly going to wither away and what sort of official reaction have we seen to this agreement well generally there's been a sigh of relief european union leaders have been saying that this is a generally good deal and that's important because all governments from all 27 member states are going to have to sign off on this deal before the end of the year here in germany chancellor angela merkel said that the deal was a good outcome here's what she said with the agreement we are laying the foundation for a new chapter in our relations even from outside the european union the united kingdom will continue to be an important player for german important partners for germany and the e.u. now her cabinet is due to meet on monday which is when they might sign off on this deal the same thing has to happen in capitals across europe and in the u.k. as parliament now the coming days are going to be full of more surprises as people

t.w. . it's packed with meats and desires. is it the wake of a wasteful lunatic or the wondrous conception of the genius who has never understood is it a medieval castle or a modern construction. a console inseparable from the tragic fate of the varian king new flick the 2nd. in age from $69.00 the 1st to slate ingenious divine or absolute cheech it's a phenomenon in the news that reaches around the world and yet it was built for one man. who treated the 2nd or the fairy tale king as he's known to us today

his legacy includes the cars. underneath. people call me a fool. will god called me that too when i finally received his summons. the man who built it never had the pleasure of living in his finished palace the king died before it was completed and the circumstances surrounding his death remain unclear to this day. his story has become judgement and his legacy lives on. our head the stories of noise and castle and the man who built it zadok the 2nd are so closely intertwined with each other as to make them almost unique history of culture it can power how much. it all began here in her own she found out he had wigs father king maximillian the 2nd rebuilt a late medieval council here turning it into

a comfortable home the family often spent summers here. much to his father's regret the firstborn son was wholly i'm interested in politics. instead with his younger brother auto he preferred to explore the area around the alps scene shuns the legs as well as horn chunk out. in 1961 the bulgarian puppy proof consummate the 1st documentary film about the life and fate of luke 52nd. here in or here on the top floor of hole in shango castle is where the early childhood of luke vague and his younger brother also unfolding on. the walls

a decorated with scenes from mediæval. legend says it's all very cozy very romantic all mocked ish. good think grew up surrounded by fan maidens dragons and heroes. his relationship to his father was a distant bond you think filled he was traced with condescension and he found that his mother lacked a poetic sensibility. at the age of 18 a prince rodrigue felt more at home in the world of legends than in the monday and real world. there hopping off from difference his father mocks a 1000000 the 2nd died suddenly and march 18th 64th when your date was shocked by the fact that he was to ascend to the throne automatically and at once the shootout we know is that he left his father's death bed in floods of tears similar and he

was even more shaken when a servant addressed him as your majesty and immediately after his father passed away. no one had prepared him for this sudden ascension to the throne. 3 days after the funeral he wrote in his diary just one root filling the in time a penny each. keen. treated sort of form by a look big the 2nd of a very a felt torn and i'm sure at 1st show. you months the image he was someone who lacked stability and a man who was author lee unsuitable for his job as king true to the representative of the bavarian state office for a common guy at all. at least he had been tortured how to handle money the records of prince lympics pocket money can be found in the archives of the house of little

spock. in july 862. he spent a total of $9000.00 guilders and $48.00 crowns on the scene donations for the poor chocolates and presents. the prince had to keep meticulous appearances for he spent interest sent them to his father this site in a truly sealed is gone but it was meant to help the crown prince learn how to live frugally of course and and you can see that for example when he wanted to go to the theater he would have to pay for it himself in a city with an even if his father's lessons on was looted big considered to be excessive frugality had a big impact on it i think it agreed after his father's death upon his coronation a loss i want no more of this unnecessary miserliness i was at i will figure it unfortunately he didn't understand that even a king's resources are not endless that's what i think it's because of. his majesty didn't learn much from his father's example. one of his 1st official acts was to

invite the highly indebted composer of a fad father to me and to finance him unconditionally. at. c.n.n. countered wagner's musical dramas based on themes that were very much inspired by the movie channel here i was and became an ardent fan of that music olympic ice that for there was none. so the maestro has he respectfully cooled the composer became one of the 1st people to learn is the king somewhat unusual plan in the oh boy area. the road to wagner. the shabbat the ups and i intend to build a new castle above the old castle ruins and whole incheon go by the political wards in the true style of the castles built for an ancient german. border. i. think the 1st pitch is sure a fairly simple castle. i.

watched a noise and he commissioned a theatrical scene painter christiane. young to do the initial design is the image quite naturally those designs were quite literally theatrical. polish and bosses in those waters. design fuses elements from medieval germany more spain and the mythical world of freak out this works this is are on india it's also in direct challenge to his father's cosy home when she found out castle with the built in the b. to maya as their take and with scenes from historical picture books on the walls of world of i wanted something grand something divorced from the real world and on a monumental scale in one when powerful. and he was to achieve it. an architectural dream come true. the man who commissioned it or to escape reality with constructed plan to see. the municipal archives in force and harbor a small treasure

a photographic treasure. if. these photos languished in a drawer for 150 years. these are all family these photos taken at the start of the construction process have never been seen before as far as i know this in this is the very 1st time that they're been shown. to save . they were part of the deceased's estate and donated to the archive the photographer was looked fit sharada born in force in an 1830 he was the 1st person to document noise from stein council this photo shows the remains of a medieval castle on the mountain ridge of his m 4 to astronomy and lescott as you can see the main reason bridge which was built in 866 i know exactly what it will do you work on the castle began in 869 so this photo must have been taken sometime

between those years and of course that by. instead this is the oldest photo by little fiction in our collection hardly the sets. will stop the culprit through my great grandfather actually worked on the noice bunch tynecastle building site and my grandfather would sometimes taking his lunch at the castle of the market on to our and i think it was because he thought he might catch a glimpse of the king there counted out in clinics it people were curious about the king he was not exactly shy but he rarely made public appearances or and when you were up at the construction site you might expect to see him some time on the way off thousands. in a 1000000000 capital munich people were skeptical about the monarch zeal for building a council but not here in alva. this was all this is in fact no one criticised the construction of noise punchline of due to its high altitude this

region is not very fertile so people didn't live a life of affluence here and a giant construction like noisy bunch dine they had approximately a 3rd of the population in houston and yet. it was even possible to run into the king. gibson movie they were all in in here are some stories that in fact like the one of him meeting a young cowherd who asked him the time. the boy had no clue who the stranger was then he said why do you need to know what time it is and the boy replied precociously well i have to take my cows for milking and i don't know when. he then told the boy the time and even asked for the name of the fun 2 days later a king servant rode up on a horse and handed the boy of bob watch on a chain so he could see the time himself and know when he should take the cows in

la shawn kind of is really cool. and there are a whole lot of stories at this personal levels of painting a very different picture of the king and how he's depicted in munich me the name comes on this big as this is emerging from it's like it was. there he was known as a spendthrift and the maverick but here in southern bavaria his subjects admired him as a monarch with a personal touch. the photographer who ventured life made the most of the spectacular views in the area. almost 100 photographic plates are kept in the mean useable archives the surface and. air is it with this camera which was new technology at the time that something that only had just got going sit in

a castle was built as she went to a farm where it was a big heavy camera this was no smart for he dragged everything up the mountain and that's why we have now got a graphics plate of photos and a lesson. today the wafer thin photographic plates a delicate and irreplaceable every building phase was documented carefully for 17 years that helps historians reconstruct the building process. a little worse the ancient ruins and the mountaintop who moved from the site and you steam train was constantly at work. to do that's right living the 2nd was not just agreement he was a visionary too he had the will the imagination and of course the power and the

resources to make this dream come true for the treatment. the blueprint for a mega sized project. was impatient and for studious and he wanted the building to progress as quickly as possible when anything didn't go the way he wanted he would be extremely displeased those responsible would fall into the greatest disgrace. for tom from the top of the tower to the cellar for everything was not big the seconds work at so he dedicated himself to every detail that ever i was in regular correspondence with the royal superintendent of construction and the architecture he take he always inspect the plants personally so he could decide how to forsee if to or what to change hearts and minds eye in matters of government not think mostly have to bow to his ministers and except their advice. it was a kingdom in which he was really just a figurehead with very little to say but when it came to his building projects he

ruled strain. and grit up to i don't think was a difficult client he was constantly scrapping plans you know and suddenly deciding rome should be different newly built walls might have to be torn down goosen. most people are surprised to learn that the council is built of bricks. and clad with rocks from a nearby quality. to fill is the mold cliff face and the walls are made up of the same materials it's a very sophisticated construction built from materials that come from the local area so it really organically blends in with its surroundings people in food.

not only the construction but also the restoration in the last few decades.
