that's all for now up next a full dissection of the brakes a deal where indeed i mean business because of cars don't forget you get all the latest information on our website that's detail money dot com i'm rebecca richards seems that. the 2. in these challenging times it's especially important to us the issue of how be unhealthy. the coronavirus has kept us apart from family and friends always. easy to feel alone mission each year in this holiday season we. were here with you we will keep you informed on all of the plan for tomorrow mind you we're all in this

together we wish you happy holidays merry christmas everyone of them very merry 1st of season merry christmas and stacy happy holidays everyone happy holidays to you and you say happy holidays everyone can still see. the deal sealed after 4 long years britain and the european you're going to agree on a provisional bragg's of the force agreement the news means a decades long relationship will end on a friend's note than feared and major trade chaos can't be avoided and will introduce you to a restaurant owner in germany who is confidently surfing the 2nd infection when you thanks to a new business model. on frisco welcome to the program it's an agreement 4 and

a half years in the making. a no deal brags that averted at the last minute some call it a christmas miracle in the end what did britain win sovereignty including freedom from e.u. courts though they'll still have to follow its regulations for the most part if they want to sell to the single market they can independently make their own laws and they'll still be able to easily travel on holiday to the e.u. but all this freedom comes at a price no longer any a member the u.k. turns back on trade without customs borders its banks have a lot more uncertainty of whether they can sell services to their european neighbors plus education coordination and energy trading will become more complicated and cost this deal is just the beginning of what could be a long post bragg's a journey for the united kingdom here's more on the road ahead. the deal is done

a crisis of verted it's a relief for both sides are to roll half of the u.k.'s trade is with its european neighbors and the u.k. is the e.u. 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 market place is the 1st big step but britain still has a monumental task ahead of it before the 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 euro is 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 continue negotiations with australia started in the summer and a 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 city is dreamed 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 everywhere 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 singapore 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. let's get more on the world's d.w. correspondent big of mars in london very good leaders are praising the deal the british prime minister is praising the deal how have businesses in the u.k. been reacting. a big sigh of relief christophe bought it big bought because the british business knows that it's the 1st trade deal in history that doesn't take down barriers but actually erect barriers so business in

the u.k. on the whole was not for braggs it they know it's knocking several to sound off the u.k. economy and even with this it will make trade between the u.k. in the e.u. more difficult there will be more paperwork there will have to be export declarations there will be origin checks so it's not the seeming this trait that the u.k. bret's it is boys johnson had promised but it's better than the absolute chaos at the borders that would have been pretty soft and if there was no deal. speaking of the u.k. economy the financial services sector is hugely important to it but this deal doesn't cover services so what happens there and is the city of london ready. financial services have really been largely left to fend for themselves and i imagine it's a 2000 page paper and i imagine that people in the financial services industry will

be poring over the details to see what it actually means financial services act is that conserves wife spoken to all deeply worried mostly about whether they will still be able in the future to sell their financial services across europe and under what circumstances that we will be the case how difficult will it be for them and i think the jury is that out still negotiations to be had but for the financial services industry as a whole breaks it is not a good thing and we know that over a trillion pounds of assets have already been transferred from the london to other u.k. the e.u. economies say all together financial services are losing out deal or no idea. of course disagreement is better than no deal however it seems seemingly the worse for the u.k. economy than just staying in the e.u.

arc of westminster justified that's quite easy it's not an economic project as a political project this was all about symbolism about regaining control about britain the idea of britain being this independent coastal state and this is how this dream was so and it's not because of the economy but almost despite the economy this is this is very very clear and this is how the deal is also now now sold in the u.k. and finally we mentioned new trade deals need to be done there for britain what happens next. well now the bread city is and prime minister johnson was one of the leading wrecks of tiers of the leading brics india they need to prove that this acrimonious divorce that this whole procedure was really worth it and that actually breaks it does open up new opportunities and one is which trade deals will they be

able to conclude one was always the one inside was with the u.s. how will that actually really happen so i think a close eye on trade deals will be kept by by many people who are watching brags that you don't use big muslim london thank you. time now for a quick look at some of the other business stories making news alitalia has restarted daily flights to and from london after receiving clearance from italy's health ministry and the carrier said passengers traveling to italy must be residents or have urgent reasons for that are negative coverage 1000 test is also required flights were suspended earlier this week because the new virus darian spreading in the u.k. some 850 cargo staff at british airways are to begin a weeklong strike on friday over a pay dispute the unite union says workers face pay cuts of up to 25 percent shipments to and from britain have already been disrupted by border closures

following the discovery of the new coronavirus variant. a recent study of the hospitality sector here in germany showed that around 20 percent of restaurants could be in serious threat of going under because of the impact of the coronavirus endemic now we met one restaurant owner who was robbed of his livelihood livelihood by the 1st wave of the virus but he's surfing the 2nd wave with confidence thanks to a new business model. there's nothing like a juicy beef steak with grilled vegetables chef yosh yobs and his son pamper their guests right where they live so he prepares the food outside in the customer's yard in freezing december temperatures of the sort. of imagined it would be so popular that's nice but it's always a real challenge every customer's different individual wishes and you can see how cold and windy it is. they used to take care of their guests here

a small restaurant located at berlin city limits outside they had enough seating for 80 and inside 50 more just 10 months ago yobs employed more than 20 staff at his steakhouse but the restaurant. didn't even survive the 1st wave of the coronavirus. we had to declare bankruptcy and close the restaurant we had very high overhead the monthly rental alone was 15000 euros then of course we have to pay your electric bills we ran a very high quality steakhouse. fares were cancelled vacationers stayed away not even the local berlin customers were there to get them through lockdown. then yaps had an idea corona compliant cooking live at the customer's home today their catering a birthday party. that's in the cabins from tied off really back and forward to it

and now it's almost ready it's a nice event at home during the pandemic if you don't get out much then. so this is just great and so. looking forward to this all day instead of heated plates the food is being served on heated platters a measure to help prevented getting cold sweet potato soup beef steaks chicken and even salmon something for everyone the family's happy. it takes the excellent my birthday present it was delicious. the keytar vo cost the family around $250.00 euros this father son team might not be striking it rich but at least they'll survive the coronavirus financially. and before we let you go it is christmas for which you need the proper outfit and despite all the despair that's been causing the coronavirus pandemic could not stop one cherished tradition

a thing you used to come to the forest of my job to kill animals now he comes to protect them parts of the forest became a refuge and the poacher has become a ranger he and his colleagues are documenting the traces wildlife leave behind and any destructive human activities now that poachers traps like this one are being removed there are more and loads here again. as is the pinnacle of dan and. they look nice to me because i was skinny and in its last night that i began to do good as the as he did in place of the ice and i. thank. you to. you said. the documentation he works on enables inferences about which species live in the only pony endangered species refuge. jeffrey if i had been working for the in geo her conservation gonna for 3 years and receive the regular salary equivalent of 55

2. parts of that people to put text. the only pony endangered species refuge has recently been expanded by an area the size of $16000.00 soccer fields thanks to neighboring landowners and churches a significant achievement considering that ghana has lost 20 percent of its forest cover over the past 2 decades thanks for. the. attention these days but we still have to cope with the problems we face due to climate change communities on the coast of africa in particular. a rising sea levels. loss of habitat that is indeed the case and that is why i say you're on your own. $2000000.00 project to build resilience any

community we visit the tata islands to see how also erosion is affecting people there and also find out how they are fighting back. just 2 years ago it was possible for the people of young guy i learned to walk along the streets without getting it but the rise in sea level has split one of sierra leone's tittle islands into. more than half of the island has disappeared the archipelago was once the bustling fishing community no 500 people have been forced to leave in the past few years because their homes we watched and went by floods one of them. is a really built 2 houses on the island not even the 2nd one is 13 by raising water. most of his belongings he says have already been carried out to sea.

because this is where i grew up and i've lived all my life here it's where i built my house 1st the water washed away the last trees and then he took my house with i built another house but the lord take that one too now i have left the island and settled on a larger one nearer to the main. suleiman cupboard couldn't afford to visit told the whole family on the mainland immediately his wife still lives on young guy and his children are with realities. starting a new life is expensive most people here live on no more than $0.10 a day so now tries to save some of the money he makes from fishing so $1.00 day the

rest of his family can join him now he leaves on shabbos island but even then he is afraid of flooding the threat of rising sea levels is very real. if you years ago waves broke through the flood wall in order to restore the damage says sure the municipality in the government found international partners to finance this large scale project and this time they want to do it better seize the mayor we are worried that if we are going to take. this issue. to restoring the phrase war. showing that we maintain our greenmount. it would be disastrous for our people or. this new embarkment to be almost 2 kilometers long and one meter taller than the highest tide measured so far. but the east a long way to go. many islanders don't yet

understand the danger of deforestation that tree cover would provide the island's a measure of natural resilience and would slow erosion. the authorities have started to involve the local population in measures to protect the climate mine grooves have been planted fishermen alpha djalu looks in on the young man group plant nearly every day he say's the roots will bind the soil and protect it from being washed away in the rainy season. or so these men grew fruits who helped the ground become stable again if we don't plant here the problems will remain houses will be lost in people will have to migrate again. the mom groups in the in bugman project giving hope sees. but he knows that

a lot more will need to be done to protect the homes in livelihoods of the thousands of people whose to live on shipboard and the smaller islands. the little children. one problem and lineage in all need to be curious. invited to be a change in the late concrete. how will climate change affect us and our children. dot com slash water. i mean on not only of ray's hunted for the a meets but also for the high colds or skates the idea of a hunt but maybe a truck to stop but such things are being met with increasing criticism in europe vegan alternatives are in big demand one woman in france even to get

a job in law enforcement after selling the trend into a business idea here is this week's doing get the. song designs bags and fashion accessories that are in a vision of an environmentally friendly. or funky punky i'm vegan what looks like leather is actually caught with a rather unusual coating. known you know if you decide you know. this material is made of cactus but it's cactus that's been dried and turned into powder. to see about a song lives in by you in northern france she only recently became a vegan she used to work in law enforcement with me but decided she wanted to do something more creative. she says business is good despite everything. yeah you

have to do is this the crisis but i'm in a nation began and. and there's still demand for that. movie. in europe demand for vegan fashion has increased more than 10 percent over 5 years for their very cool animal free bags song is in vogue. and how about you if you are also doing your big tell us about visit our website or send us a tweet. hash tag doing your bit. we share your story. it is pretty obvious to all of us by now that the current pandemic requires us to make

a lot of changes in the way we conduct our life but it is also giving us a new spectator on how so many the. done even the simple things new ideas are much ink that can really benefit people and the environment in these trying times. that's right sandra in south africa a young man came up with a great new business venture it's eco friendly and has been well received in his cape town neighbor. young men in blue overalls cruising through the streets of longer in recent weeks the residents of the cape town suburb have gotten used to the sight. this is the man behind the bicycle armada. and the founder of. cloudy deliveries is the name of color because he's newly founded business it delivery service on bikes the 1st one in the township. he starts every day with

a team meeting. the group discusses goals and customer service practices. the idea for the business stems from his own experience. and. so i think. having someone. for. the delivery fleet is heading out. on him cause he doesn't have time to do deliveries any more face too much admin work to get done. since the 22 year old started cloudy deliveries in january 2020 it has grown steadily and the coronavirus pandemic boosted the business even more today the team has around 20 delivery rides we follow one of them on his shift this busy customer has asked 19 year old took his easy causa to buy groceries and

a cell phone cover for her. i'm working from home so it's very convenient for me because i don't have time to actually go to the store and i have to. make it as long as you took as easy cause a is heading to the supermarket the custom is pay $9.00 rand pay a delivery roughly the equivalent of $50.00 us sends the delivery rider gets 3 rand delivering the remaining 6 rand goes to the company. youth unemployment in south africa is extremely high and the pandemic has only made things worse until those easy cause i just finished school he wants to continue his studies one day but for now he's happy working as a delivery driver. led much of the 1st day i do it before i. help him people around here and. make a shrinkage and. back at the headquarters the calls are still coming in every cyclist does $45.00 deliveries per day with many people forced to stay at home

during the lockdown cloudy deliveries is filling a huge gap in the township and the township residents like the unusual news service . we do get feedback from. the big. banks is easy to feel. the need to. call him cause he's next goal is to expand his fleet and to open his own online shop to benefit the environment he plans to use only paper for packaging to set an example that he hopes other companies will follow. our way of doing things is reaching its limits and that's something we often hear in our days when it comes to the stewardship of natural resources it is certainly the case and the radical rethink is needed we have to protect its forest rivers.

and plants and that will require coming up with ways of making on using things without creating which. here are some impressive examples. of minutiae bastard boots in spends much of her free time thinking about wild plants. her motto is you protect what you know and she's on a mission to get people to know the wild plants around them better. than the lion and that's why she created the game not to a memo a memory game that you teaches people of all ages about plant life. did france and i would really like wild plants to be part of our lives again i think in fact i'll even go one step further i'd also like to see them on our menu because wild plants contain so many important nutrients that are often missing from

the culture of vegetables we eat nowadays and. she made sure not to a memo was produced to a standard called cradle to cradle. but the cradle to cradle standard means more than just come possible it also means that during decomposition little to nothing is released that could harm the environment printouts loci is the 1st in germany that prints to this standard ralph inherited the company from his father and has transformed it into a fully green operation. basically i think it's the responsibility of a company to make sure that its products don't harm the environment. we need to make a profit so that both our staff from the company can make a living. but we're not looking to make a profit at the expense of people and nature. of course.

this means making every step of the process the stain of all the printing machines provide climate control for the building which uses the. i want to reset kill ation system the machines are also c o 2 neutral and the paper and printing colors both carry cradle to cradle certification making the change from a conventional printing house to a sustainable one was an easy decision fellow chi. it's not going to mentally much more expensive. but you do need to be willing to reorganize things. course when you rethink production. a lot of things need to be completely overhauled you need a whole new approach. this is the challenge facing the entire printing industry more than half of the paper thrown out 12 wide ends up in landfills and more paper is produced every year paper can take up to 20 years to break down and

that process releases c o 2 and me thing into the atmosphere alcohol and other chemicals from the printing process also see from the paper into the environment catapult magazine found have been you mean fried fish began printing on a different sort of paper to save trees. so this is the magazine issue where we changed over from normal paper to recycled paper so here i calculated how many trees were filled with normal and on the back with recycled paper if publishers would simply switch from normal paper to recycled paper it would be a huge step. to sure it would be so much less damaging to the environment. it's a viable solution for big publishes the search is simple and catapult says it costs them less than one percent more to use recycled paper and if people opted for the same high standards as asked him in completely sustainable printed products it

become as common as wild prompts. our next report. takes us to senegal many of the country's 15000000 inhabitants live beside the atlantic ocean where the sea level rise caused by climate change is making their existing problem of costly russian worse 4 decades ago a forest was planted in the northwest of the country to combat the problem of shoreline retreat that is right near to and changed the lives of farmers and fishermen there but now population growth and other a putting a strain on the forest and local communities are now walking together in order to maintain or even improve the forest. a bound to fall harvest of all eggplants that's not something that pharma smalley so take for granted. here's one of over 20000 farmers living in the now use region of north western

senegal many live close to the coast and still potentially facing threats of erosion and sandstorms. but the valves of trees is helping to protect them. almost 200 kilometers long it's 500 metres wide at its narrowest point. the far east was planted 40 years ago as a shield against wind and coastal erosion. know was once not seemed that way so and he is is known for his leaving duties. before these trees were plugged into. we did we need a cause we should like to call that much money disease and he needed to produce. a t.v. to use the meat it's impossible for the foremost to sense and here it was. uprooted the. today 60 percent of senegalese vegetable production

comes from the news region. an estimated 225000 tonnes of produce here only. it has become the country's food basket and it was a pine trees that farmers like a smaller city creates their fields. if you. want to because we were going. after the trees were planted on the table to live work the land. at 1st you could only put up temporary shelters because everything in this thing sort of pine trees are stable and because of that we have a fertile forest and built homes i can cultivate vegetables. it's a delicate balance though the farmers need the trees for protection but

a growing population means the demand for timber for feel and fulfilled in furniture is also growing and. the solution the forest has been divided up into some 200 plots monitored by different cultural and forestry groups. each group decides which streams can be felled according to strict. saplings up to replace any trees that are chopped down this there's ready to leave us some planes to farmers all over the coast. booklet and one. day as you can see it's because of the abundance of pine trees that we have for thailand for maintaining the forests the central to the work of our association. in order to do that we have to plan to replenish trees it's crucial to sustainable development. to get marked out what the gantries

a water. and the plastic sheets to ensure the absorb as much moisture as possible then the plastic is called away to let the tree take root over $50000.00 trees are planted each year and hopefully they'll also protect future generations of farmers from encroaching sand and rising sea levels. it is good to be really minded about it and looking after the environment can really pay all that is all we help you today thank you for joining us it is a goodbye from me son but we know you're here in complex until next signed. by new to by phone alexandra it was a pleasure co-hosting the show with you and to our viewers out there every member you can find out more about environmental protection on sustainability on our social media platforms but for now i'm now outside way signing off from abuja nigeria see you again.
