their flight could be fatal but going back is not an option. it's money i'm on and property are stuck in the spanish border area they're there waiting for a chance that will probably never. shattered dreams starts january 18th on t w. e b a. i'm taking advantage of. grace and strength in the way she didn't he would be leading mom lives prejudicial here you. managed to ask was it a lot. and we've been covering bragg's it since the beginning and i'm now joined

by big mass our correspondents from london and gareth much as who is in brussels for us and 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 travelling across the u.k. as well as the continent and even the scenes we're taking a moment to select our past now the biggest threats that loses 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 in hastings that's on the southern english coast and his family has 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's richest fishing grounds british fishermen are now able to fish much more freely and that's exactly what pool joy wanted to do take back so often free of pretty cool to. on the right that's one of their aspects of directly we take back control of their territory will. that means that they're kicking out the european official and the dutch for example and they've been fishing here for hundreds of years they will 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 dutch fish factory some ships there catch up to 80 percent of their fish in u.k.

waters the 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 big 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 on macro level ray that all get sold to europe but what they do like cod for example for their fish and. this is something

that they have to buy of the european fishermen so europe is really biggest market and a huge trading partner when it comes to fish. british fisherman need the view 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 breakers that 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 for the 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 cities 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 or 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 patrie optics 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 know and 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 the run 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 the republic of ireland 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 question would 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 with a new support and e.u.

integration. to grasp what is 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 walls 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 ira and of dying and of killing for the cause. we will commemorate perry from pierce and this community for us already volunteers. who were martyred paid the open. sacrifice for irish

freedom and i also murdered others and i mean war the 1st they have republicans have traditionally saw that as long as. the irish people have the right there is a stark a patient by any means by any means also with arms well before i would have 3 before him so that's been traditionally been the republican viewpoint well the majority of people in northern ireland voted to remain with the. those who voted leif did so because they saw this is an opportunity to show that they are 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 requesting that. 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 him and simply because the issues that already exist. 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 are. on the practice issues as. a community. while they were part of the european union people in northern ireland didn't have to choose whether they were british or irish 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 the u.k. and northern ireland and we're bound to see some form of custom controls.

we found frustration and even bitterness in the republic among people who will now face more obstacles when they're selling 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 madness 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 press 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 wrexham so irish reunification is suddenly not an unrealistic prospect anymore and it's new and it's a direct result of bricks 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 able scotland just had an independence referendum just 6 years ago and they voted to actually stay in the u.k. but that was before breakfast that many scots really really don't want to leave that club and they resent the english for voting for breakfast it still gives me shivers when i think about that surely 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 the edinburgh all year round they are not a political group and on the whole they were extremely polite but they had very clear words for the english who had voted for breaks and. this is what i'm sort of england and unfortunately gould of england. yes. give us our independence he can we

can look after ourselves. and feeling that we're being torn out to. fight. with our consent 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 edinburgh we have had a lot of extremely generous friend overtures from other european governments saying that if things britain leaves the european union and scotland takes political control of the sort of fares that it's got there would be welcome in the european union. so the scottish nationalists a clear winner here all recent opinion poll say that the scottish people the majority of them want to go their own way and that they want to be independent now .

what is in the car being on on how fast chile has its problems but when we travel thousands of kilometers to the island. what we found is that people there were just as annoyed about as people at a bar and grill and should have had a chance to participate in the bricks and no other people should decide and get on state it puts us in a precarious position because. economically we might be just advantage but. it does not make us feel to be a part of. in british territories we are part of the european union under britain. and we probably would suffer in a most of them have british passports but because i'm a british overseas territory and only partly governed by the u.k. the $15000.00 or so islanders didn't have oppressive 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 gorilla lost all you subsidies which made up a big part of the island's budget. all relations with this next door neighbor some months 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 losers here are the ordinary people and just like in scotland bread 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 bricks of vote that we went to see in the bill the head of lloyd's of london the insurer in the bill 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 bricks it is estimated that already even 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 e.u. that's about 110th of all the assets that are managed in the u.k. even though it's still the most important financial hub in europe the city of

london is clearly a bread salusa and its position is likely to diminish father the witness saw other financial centers topple and frankfurt luxembourg they all have already profited from it. i mean. the complete and utter. underneath my country undernet for my generation because i passionately believe in the european project and i passionately believe that rex is going to damage our society. and the time to break that down to what melinda k. was doing she was fighting really desperately for a 2nd branch that 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 her exit there were others like her for example sami 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 vary it so they lost and they lost a lot they simply caught on to what at parents were able to do which is to just easily leave work travel study on the continent in the. and that also was in other directions for you citizens i met for instance this polish account. he's one of 3000000 citizens who have made the u.k. their home. 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 can't just come here and work as easy as they used to be able to but for the over opinion it was for but you can move from one city to another but we're going from country to country like you moving in just you know your country internally and out of the doubles there you are if you want to came to really make a move doesn't mean i'm in stubbornly dreamlifter different situation to say also you can only be in the city you have to go part you have to do something i was an issue for the haven't 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 are as a friend of mine she had been working as a consultant emergency doctor in london and i put up with as she and her children

packed to move back to dublin. for me the uncertainty iran 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 where they. are for them if they stay on here for a 2nd with her. what are they going to be allowed to will it defend them thousands of e.u. noses and doctors have now got 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 sort of whether the decision to leave might be reversed so they showed up outside parliament clearly upset and the top of that. it and it wasn't

just older people by the way there were also young people that had come painful bragg's and like others grant and his sister beatrice they were both still at school at the time enable ideas like democracy and somebody can take those for granted and i think yeah you know i had friends saying 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.

most farmers actually didn't vote for bribes even though. many of them depend quite heavily on either subsidies and during the referendum the bread city has a promise that this money will be replaced and nobody would be out of pocket through breaks it but now it looks like within the next 3 years farmers could lose at least half of what they receive 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 10 years time politically we got our room because . once romans 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 farm 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 is 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 fat. that's that's the ideal and that's the highest value market they did not vote for price 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 assed civil servants to like pay so we will still have lots of. 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 better 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 movement industry for example breaks it would use this really huge problems. the advantage that british and european manufacturers had they could move chapattis between them really easily and really quickly and that would be gone for the moment we're selling to germany from anywhere in europe like we're showing you. if we are outside the open market it would be an export for export lot of export paperwork you've got a lot of money tied up with her for the clearance in the for her for those local thing to do that we don't. 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 page for president and like absolutely every executive in the car industry was very very worried about bret's it. investment in the u.k. car industry has plummeted since then its 80 percent down and covered has made things just was that if we look purely at the bread to defect some eastern european countries all winning because some manufacturers and some in the car industry have already relocated some of their production to eastern europe. while looking over at the u.k. from europe i can't help but feel frustrated. press it was sold in the u.k.'s this big win win and what we have now is

a new sleuth 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 have basically mainly lost out tensions are clearly running i had westminster we've had this draw european trade just us here for months so i'm a german i'm living in the u.k. my children were born. 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. team europe lacks a key player who can take back control as the phrase goes of our money our borders our laws so the bridge city is 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 is acrimonious divorce process that it's really worth that and that the rod 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 or shout when the u.k. flag 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. treasure it more.
