it since the beginning and i'm now joined by big mass our correspondents from london and garrett my district is in brussels for us it's a huge story the story of the u.k. leaving the e.u. untangle in decades of integration we spent years interviewing politicians campaigners even body language experts and now after traveling across the u.k. as well as the continent and even the seas we're taking a moment to select our past knowledge biggest breck's a glue zus and some of the winners to. maybe one after that gunship maybe we can use diplomacy. and allow access maybe to some but not to all.

forger is really few sleep protective about his fish he's a fisherman and hastings out on the southern english coast and his family have been there for generations for centuries really if you're looking for the winners of pranks that we've met them in the english channel just off the british coast of some of northern europe richest fishing grounds british fishermen are now able to fish much more freely and that's exactly what paul joy wanted to do take back saw the tree of british fall to. on the fright that's one of that aspect of rex if we take back control of their territory will. that means that they're kicking out the european fishermen the dutch for example and they've been fishing here for hundreds of years they would have less access to the fishing grounds of the british coast. so it's 4 in the morning and we're standing in this huge fish factory some ships there catch up to 80 percent of their fish in u.k.

waters a whole industry relies on this catch and it relies on running at full capacity much less than that and it could collapse but it's also an emotional thing what used to be our colleagues richer or our colleagues our friends working together in european fisheries politics and all of a sudden it's turned upside down as if they are strangers as if we are strangers and that is a very very bad feeling. very belonging to a male which is france's biggest fishing port people very much feel the same way and you know what ironically what's safe is a matter of taste the thing is that british fish eaters don't really like what's in their own waters like herring for example or macro or a that all get sold to europe but what they do are like cod for example for their fish and. chip's this is something that they have to buy off the european fishermen

so europe is really the biggest market and a huge trading partner when it comes to fish. british fisherman need to be you they sell i would say about 70 percent of their catch to the e.u. market. and without a trade deal in place all that fish that british fish would have been subject to massive tariffs and barriers. a cliff. no deal breaks it in other words would have put them straight out of business and still paul's fault it was worth the risk. is a long term goal. i think we've got to go a long way before we see gains we've in anything really anything could be industry banking financial monetary economy they're all going to suffer in the short term

but it's something we're quite happy to do so that we have a long term benefit of controlling their own fees and controlling our own destiny his passion for control over the sea was widely shared by u.k. politicians and we saw that throughout those endless negotiations again and again so it often felt like britain was much more concerned about fishing than for example other much more important parts of the economy like for example the city of london fishing is less than 0 point one percent of their economy so why all the fuss is something that you might ask i think it took you a while to understand what on earth was so important about fish and in the end it was all about patriotic symbolism this idea that britain is an independent coastal state.

i just became so aware of it you know you just you run into it you're an out of it but it's not a functioning border and if that was to change it changes everything and it changes not just the landscape of the country but it changes the functioning of the country on her own alex has been crossing the border numerous times and without any difficulty it's a completely open border and mostly they're not even signs that tell you that you're crossing an actual border from a repub. gov island over there through northern ireland and the u.k. . it used to be one of the most famous borders in all of europe but for all the wrong reasons this passionate struggle to keep the places apart or to bring them together costs thousands of lives. it's only recently that it's all been quite with a peace deal but also within you support and you integration. to grasp what's

still at stake in northern ireland just take a look at belfast there are these huge peace walls and like a berlin based become a tourist attraction only these walled still sort of pompous they keep people apart people who would fight each other over whether to stay a part of the u.k. or to join the republic of ireland. it was really chilling to meet the final he was all about fighting for a united ireland meeting him felt like going back in time to the 1970 s. . it was talk about the irish republican army the irony and of dying and of killing for the course. we will commemorate barry from pierce and this community for us ari volunteers. who were martyred paid the ultimate sacrifice for irish

freedom and our ultimate others and i mean war the. republicans have traditionally saw that as long as. the irish people have their interests not occupation by any means by only me also with our well before i wouldn't trade with arms that's been traditionally been the republican viewpoint well the majority of people in northern ireland voted to remain with the. those who voted leave did so because they saw this is an opportunity to show that they are not part of the u.k. and separate from the republic of ireland. it was all about leaving one union in order to stay in another union but some are now regretting that move. if i had the opportunity to turn back time and read a fractured vote i would be encouraged to change my mind and vote for a man simply because the issues that already exist and. have been compounded by

a practical and we fought long and hard in this country to. data sectarianism try and make a better future for all our. on the practice. recorder a community. while they were part of the european union people who know the nolen didn't have to choose whether they were british or irish or base they didn't have to choose one identity over another and trade between northern ireland the republic of ireland the u.k. and the you used to be very easy but not anymore hot border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland could be avoided but it has been replaced by a border basically in the i receive between. in the u.k. and northern ireland and we are bound to see some form of custom controls.

so we found frustration and even bitterness in the republic among people who will now face more obstacles when they're sending things like for example forklift trucks to great britain and also to the rest of the e.u. if you ask anyone in the irish population of course this is being imposed on the irish population and in that sense it is modernist but the problem is of course we did not have the control on this the control of it belonged to the u.k. voters for this result so it's not a result that the amish population would have wanted for. as for northern ireland practice it may have actually helped those who want to see northern ireland cut itself loose from the u.k. so the republican cause may be the winner of bracks and so irish reunification is suddenly not an unrealistic prospect anymore and it's new and it's a direct result of bracks and.

there's a real possibility that breaks it could trigger the end of the united kingdom scotland very much has a strong identity and a big part of that is not being english scotland just had an independence referendum just 6 years ago and they voted to actually stay in the u.k. but that was before bracks that many scots really really don't want to leave that's come up and they resent the english for voting for breakfast. it still gives me shivers when i think about that morning last winter we met up with some very brave scottish souls they were winter swimmers and they were braving the waters off the coast of fadden bro all year round they are not a political on the whole they're very extremely polite but they had very clear words for the english who had voted for brakes it. says we don't start off england and unfortunately. yes give us our independence equal we can look after

ourselves. and feeling that we're being torn out. with our chicken century and it's horrible the m.p. tony shepherd represents the scottish national party in the u.k. parliament and we saw him in his constituency office in ad. we have had a lot of extremely generous friendly overtures from other european governments saying that if things pile britain leaves the european union and scotland takes political control of that sort of affairs then scott would be welcome in the european union. so the scottish nationalists are a clear winner here all recent opinion poll saying that the scottish people the majority of them want to go their own way and that they want to be independent now .

the what is in the caribbean are not half as chilly as it's scotland but when we traveled thousands of kilometers to the island. what we found is that people there were just as annoyed about bracks as people. should have had a chance to participate in the brits and that no other people should decide and we don't speak it puts us in a precarious. it's fun because. economically we might be said is that families right. it does not make us feel as though we are part of. the british territories we are part of the european union under britain. and we probably would suffer in most of them have british passports but because one is a british overseas territory and only partly governed by the u.k. the 15000 or so islanders didn't have a press that vote. we were there just after

a big hurricane had hit in 2017 but people reckon it will do much more damage than that what we already know is that a girl lost all you subsidies which made up a big part of the island's budget. all relations with this next door neighbor so much are now much more complicated because someone is part of france and therefore it's still part of the you. rely on summertime for trade transport and health care and your passports go. they as well as the scots are being pulled out of the you against their will so the new those here are the ordinary people and just like in scotland brags it has boosted those and will who won independence.

so there we were and i in the city of london it's europe's biggest financial hub and the city is enormously important for the u.k. we have the skills and the knowledge of the culture you know to handle. the financial sector and perhaps other countries within europe don't have that. financial services contribute over 10 percent of the tax revenue for the u.k. . i can still see her standing there at this desk surrounded by glass in this imposing skyscraper that says you know power. it was just after the break that vote that we went to see him go below the head of lloyd's of long the insurer in the deal told us that they had full 1000000000 euros worth of business with e.u.

clients of finance. services were largely left out of the trade talks so she was hoping for what is called passport to the right to continue to trade with the e.u. if we can continue with passport ing that is our ideal situation we've been talking about that even before the referendum we said it's so important because that's really that gives us the ability to provide insurance to our customers in the e.u. 27 so if that could continue that would be just tremendous but now there is no passport in whatsoever and financial firms have really been hammered by brits it is estimated that already need about $10000.00 jobs have been relocated to other places in the e.u. and more than a trillion pounds in assets has been moved from the u.k. to other destinations in the u. that's about 110th. of all the assets that i managed in the u.k. even though it's still the most important financial hub in europe the city of

london is clearly a brand salusa and its position is likely to diminish father the witness other financial centers. frankfurt luxembourg they all have already profited from it. think we. are going to meet and. under neath my country under a net for my generation because i passionately believe in the european project and i passionately believe that rex is going to damage our society in. complete and turn to what melinda k. was doing she was fighting really desperately for a 2nd present referendum she turned herself into e.u. supergirl and she camped outside parliament she really put her life on hold she

stopped studying she only wanted to stop bricks and there were others like her for example firmly on the wall and they both had a big presence on social media but it didn't do the trick so the problem was the young people came too late they voted overwhelmingly in the referendum to stay in the european union but not enough of the cave men showed up to very much so they lost and they lost a lot they simply call and do whatever parents were able to do which is to just easily live work travel study on the continent indeed. also works in other directions for you since i met for instance this polish account . he's one of 3000000 new citizens who have made the u.k. their. oh. so now they can stay in the u.k.

they can register with the government's new settlement scheme but it's just not that easy they call and just come here and work as easily as they used to be able to do but idea over opinion was about you can move from one city to another go with them from country to country it's like you moving in just you own your home your country internally and out of style don't i was there he argued everyone who came to ukraine i came down i did and suddenly removed to a different city and suddenly you say also you can only be in the city you have to go dark you can only do something i was not you could have been prepared when you've been moving to distant to do to this country and. many other people who tried to make a life in the u.k. decided to go home and basically take their expertise with the. bros and that number as a friend of mine she had been working as a consultant emergency doctor in london and i put up with she and for the children

packed to move back to dublin. for me the uncertainty around and trying to plan for their future if we were to say here is one of the big motivators but for the 2 of them i don't really know what they. are for them if they stay on here for a 2nd with her and. what are they going to be allowed to will it defend them thousands of you noses and doctors have now gone home and it's a massive problem for the u.k. health service especially with the corona pandemic there are around 100000 unfilled positions in the sector and that means patients are losing out. the windows here the committed great city as they could not have forseen the pandemic of course but any short term disruption was always going to be worth it for them. for a moment it seemed whether the decision to leave might be revulsed so they showed up outside parliament clearly upset and the trauma of that. bret's and it wasn't

just older people by the way there were also young people that had come pain for bragg since like this grant and his sister beatrice they were both still at school at the time enable ideas like democracy you can't take this for granted and i think yeah you know i have friends saying yeah i would be able to do my rasmus and it's like well you know 17400000 people different leave some people on this privileged. promised even bats was so proud of his product of what he has achieved he spent half a day on his left field and that's when he voiced his frustration at how people had voted in the referendum. i don't think. people realised how much we depend on foreign labor coming in.

those farmers actually didn't vote for bribes and even though. many of them depend quite heavy on either subsidies and doing their own friend in the bread city is a promise that this money would be replaced and nobody would be out of pocket to impress it but now it looks like within the next 3 years farmers could lose at least half of what they received under the e.u. system that would be a disaster particularly for small farms. we could easily see a very substantial percentage of problems disappear family found just go on and that won't be something you can do so i did for the 10 years time politically we got our room because. once wellness leave the land and go on something else to do i generally don't come back and write. the french language and son edward all sheep farmers in suffolk and southern england they are the 4th generation to form this

really beautiful spot and they hope that one day it was children will take over the phone. they sell most of their land to france the french like a lamb like this which was a good confirmation. they want them weighing around about $18.00 to $20.00 kilos as a carcass. not too much fat just a little fact. that's that's the ideal and that's the highest value market they did not vote for breakfast frank was just laughing at the idea that breaks it would cut red tape from brussels will there be any less. there won't be any less as civil servants to like paper so we will still have lots of paper i thought the farmers incorrectly blamed europe for the paper when it was actually our own people that created lots of people big farms will be able to deal with the paperwork and even buy up land from small farms who go bust so at the end of the day they may be the

big winner was a run on the road to run a wife or wife from europe i think is is a is a better thing for us as a country and we're in a world market anyway and that's of course true for all exports. but for manufacturers like the ocean move but it's cheap for example it breaks introduces a huge programs the advantage that british and european manufacturers have. they could move chapattis between them really easily and really quickly and that would be gone for the moment we're selling to germany france italy where you are likely showing you that if we are outside of the european market it will be an export for export of export people work you've got a lot of money tied up will have to go through and soon the poor will have to do a lot of things that we don't do. the like al is a real self-made man whose company was selling parts of dime learned b.m.w.

and we interviewed him just before the fateful bragg's it and like absolutely every executive in the car industry was very very worried about press it. investment in the u.k. car industry has plummeted since then its 80 percent down and cover has made things just was but if we look purely at the bread to defect some eastern european countries are winning because some manufacturers and some in the car industry have already relocated some of their production to eastern europe. we're looking over at the u.k. from europe i can't help but feel frustrated. principle sold in the u.k.'s this big wind wind and what we have now is

a new sluice so it's very hard to see any significant advantage in all of this. after all the people we met after all the praise as well was travel these people are basically mainly lost out tensions are clearly running out yet westminster we try to destroy european trade just as here for months so i'm a german i'm living in the u.k. my children were born here and i feel at home here but for me. the e.u. is also important and it's important as a peace project these are the roots of the e.u. but that doesn't really resonate in the u.k. and i remember when i was talking to a friend about this before the referendum i explained this to her and it was a completely new idea for her and she voted for granted. i'm quite confident that over the years we'll manage to form a new relationship like becoming friends after divorce but what we will not

have is this institutional pressure which we have in the e.u. to solve problems to tackle problems together. in today's world you need to team up to tackle global issues like the environmental crisis like regulating tech giants like migration and without the u.k. a team europe lacks a key player can take back control as the phrase goes of our money our borders our laws so the bridge to tears no need to define what actually is global britain what do they mean by it and how will it work and they need to prove that this acrimonious divorce process that is really worth that and that there are new opportunities for the u.k. because the breadth of that we're seeing now is much much harder than what was originally promised.

tears were shed when the u.k. flight was lowered outside the european parliament that night and i remember i was moved to. and i kept thinking the only positive thing that comes out of this is that the rest of the e.u. will see what the u.k. is walking away from and treasure it more.
