the u.k. is now out of the european union and russell's that's meant goodbye to the british union jack the e.u. has now shrunk down to $27.00 members so far the anticipated chaos at the borders hasn't happened but uncertainty remains high on both sides of the english channel. about 30 years ago this area was the site of european history being made the construction of the euro tunnel connecting buke a and france well celebrated as a political and technological milestone its 50 kilometers long and it runs beneath the english channel our reporter met up with those who once built the euro tunnel and forged that special connection between france and to the british island. but on a clear day phillipe can see the famed cliffs of dover from his hometown of cali friends he muses how the water in between that used to be

a wall of the sea separated us. until the human drive to unite outmaneuvered mother nature that historic day december 1st 1990 the last barrier between the 2 sides crumbled. 'd 'd could set and his british counterpart graeme fagged linked hands and land the the 2 tunnelers had been chosen by lottery for the honor that remembers the moment vividly. i was there we were on hold until 12 o'clock exactly 12 hours 12 minutes and 12 seconds and there we saw each other. 6 years in construction the tunnel under the english channel was a feat of engineering and partnership cementing the u.k.

european union bond personified by the 2 happy men in hard hats so it's sort of. this is a remarkable image of gravity. in largely the whole we just made landfill of them was hard yes the memories memories and a memorial in cali to the workers who forged this connection physically and created one emotional to. lawrence to work together to live together we don't have the same way of looking at things the french and the english but we learned. after so much effort to come together work together and live together who could have imagined just. 3 decades later the breach that is bracks it . now 4 and a half years after that vote even many of those who actively campaigned to remain

are ready to move on. people like paul bartlett deputy council leader in the city of ashford just half an hour inland from dover but the result was a disappointment but obviously we as politicians local politicians have to embrace the result and what the council has done locally is to ensure that the impact to break seats is minimized completely as far as possible residents and businesses so that they can continue their lloyds as if breaks it didn't happen that might be hard with the potential back up of traffic in his own neighborhood brought on by extra bureaucracy required for delivery trucks with a new case out of the e.u. single market but bartlett says he expects things will work out i am sad that we've left the year but equally we haven't left your will be working together

both with from some with the war and the e.u. community and that we're all in this together. but not together like the period filipe calls the highlight of his career when both sides were blasting through obstacles to meet in the middle that says he respects the british decision but love the new deal all the future will tell if they were right dual role they will certainly notice it quickly enough and at that point maybe they'll change their minds. minutes he hopes u.k. citizens will want to rejoin the new he says the path he helped build will always be there for them. e.u. citizens working in the u.k. currently seeking a path out of the country thousands came to work in the health sector or in care homes here freedom of movement made it easy for them to seek jobs but now that the

u.k. is no longer a member of the union workers from e.u. countries need a visa if they want to work on british soil these restrictions are putting a massive strain on the already plagued health sector. costs a gram is from portugal and she is among the few who wants to say she knows that the demand for nurses and caregivers is high especially now during the coronavirus crisis while infection rates are still rising tremendously. even if he could do with a little less rain luigi done a frio has grown to love london. to. london it's a place where you can really integrate people coming from all over the wards but the only together and this is amazing for 6 years he worked as a nurse in south london and even became a head now us but now he's moving back to italy as an e.u.

citizen he's felt neglected by the british government since the bracks referendum and says his hard work during the pandemic has gone unrecognized our voices never been heard and we've never been on the rada even during last year we supported u.k. in many different ways but i've never seen much a person appreciation would never been on the rada. so rigid in a frio is returning home to italy many of his italian friends in london have already gone back you have no trouble finding a job in italy because since the corona crisis began his skills are in demand everywhere. we all obviously leave a gap. because we are an essential part of the system so most of us are perfect and. have had

a massive carrier developments most of us our managers or our experience nurses and doctors like all other e.u. citizens in future doctors and nurses will need a visa if they want to work in the u.k. already far fewer eve citizens are coming here than before the press at referendum everything that i think about roger siegel run several care homes in norfolk in the east of england at team meetings they frequently discuss how to cope with staff shortages for the last 4 years it's been almost impossible to find qualified workers after the briggs's of the vote many european staff felt very i'm oakum here and they actually left some returned home and where we had for approximately 20 odd european nationals we're down to one or 2 maria tara from portugal is the sole remaining e.u. worker here her job is hard minimum wage with lots of overtime with the black city

if. people can come out we'll be. a country without gathers i think how can we take out of all this people. maria is very fond of the older ladies she cares for most suffer from dementia yet maria says they've taught her a great deal she hasn't seen her own family in portugal for a whole year. i count my residence now like that of my family i can see my family my days and these why sometimes i i do almost of my shift is long days because they are my family i me alone they are my family so i put all my labs all my my straight in their. few britons are ready to show that level of dedication here in norfolk caregivers are often hired but quit within a matter of days the u.k.

has a shortage of around 100000 care workers people just don't want to work for those sort of hours and i can show you e-mails and comments that we've had from recruits that we've taken on that people are just disgusted by the level of pay that they get and the level of work can level of responsibility that they have for the amount the that they receive. plans to stay in britain for now despite cracks it she wants to visit her family in portugal soon but afterwards she's promised to come back to norfolk much to the relief of the people here. this picture was taken in 1939 during the 2nd world war it shows was border patrol switzerland did not take sides during the war but it had to protect its neutrality and so weapons and ammunition west stored in different parts of the country in fact they can still be found in many places to this day like inside the mountains in the small village

of neat-o. it's income that there's a serious risk of an explosion and that's why residents will have to leave the place they've called home for so many years. not him how can i put it into was. the only uncertainty is the worst part. yes it was a shock it's very was a shock and i actually felt the pain in my heart that i am. leaving your home for 10 years it is tough life and nick holds has taken a drastic turn. better and hid in a tomb care built the house with their own hands back then me toltz promised a measure of freedom. well. we had a real life here. in canaan we could offer our children this environment they were

happy and surprisingly we were able to build our house just how we wanted it so we released walton and that's what they did about 200 meters away from the mountain holding the former ammunition depot they never suspected any danger. a big rock was a good place for them to carve so we had no idea what was in their own that. one guy and they all know what's now they know all too well about $3500.00 tons of ammunition and it's far more hazardous than previously thought the site has to be cleared and the village has to be evacuated for 10 years the proximity of the 2 cars house puts it in the red. we thought it's staying here as long as we could and now we have to make new arrangements laurie orgone but almost all of them. hanging

on to the past. we have to make a change we want to do it now and not no longer have the strength yet when we shows 0 hour. limit. now that some kids have to make other plans just like some 170 other residents of me toltz most of the families have lived here for generations but the villages knew about the depo from a tragedy caused years ago. in 1947 a huge explosion held rubble and bombs into the village 9 people including children died but the depo wasn't cleared the remaining ammunition remained inside the mountain experts decided post little real danger but a recent investigation found the risk to be too high army officer hence better elec

was assigned to inform the residents. i was extremely nervous how would i react if i were to receive this news you have to leave your home for 10 years past tough that was quite a difficult message. now senses have been attached to the mountain to warn of any imminent danger. you can live well here there's nothing to fear because it'll get more complicated when we start working on the ammunition just the preparations to move the explosives are projected to take some 10 years the residents inside the red likely a radius of one kilometer will have to evacuate their homes. right in front of us you see a few houses where we'll have to find solutions for the occupants so they'll be able to live someplace nice and dignified during the clearing operation. and davidge from kennel had built for their futures at this location. they renovated

the house and invested in the farm now they face the uncertainty of whether or not they'll end up inside the red zone. if we end up in the red zone what can we do who will have no alternative but to leave. the hobby for us to have gotten used to the phone i just block it out and they house their children layo and were born here giving up everything the families built for themselves would be extremely hard this is their home and their livelihood. all gave the state and we live with no end of warre and uncertainty right now is no force really to where. it's hard to explain feelings even if their farm ends up outside the danger zone part of their lease holding will be inside it and it won't be easy to find other land but they try to keep their spirits up for the sake of

their children and their future. you want to give them as much as you can push just to look ahead and make the best we can of it. hope and uncertainty life in me told has changed. who wouldn't like to live here or maybe even work at this beach in portugal the covered 1000 pandemic has forced millions of people across europe to work from home and some employees have decided to make the most of this break from office life they are moving that works tastes of beautiful places like this one here melissa agha can work from almost anywhere in the world and she chose to move to portugal's capital lisbon the city has a lot to offer for young professionals like her. lisbon portugal spic

shuras capital is a favorite destination for digital nomads among them up to 28 year old has previously lived in canada and sweden a year ago she began a new adventure in portugal. when i came here i was like what am i doing here i didn't know a single person i didn't know a single word portuguese i didn't know how to say thank you. to come here for me it was one of my best decision. and it. was melissa eggers employer is based in canada who work is digital and flexible leaving her free to live where she pleases and lisp on really appeals to her with its mild climate and beatrice on her doorstep i was like why why i love going somewhere where it's beautiful words warm water you can be outside and enjoy the sun that is a big influence of where baked where i'm working right now but egger says it's

a misconception that digital nomads always work on the beach or in their pajamas in bed she regularly rents a flexible work space in the city center for a few people can work here for a day or a whole month making hues of the office facilities being removed from your team from your family from anybody else you want to connect at somewhere and i think having a place like a corking space which is. your base is very important it's reminiscent of a club there are people from all over the world from the most diverse industries however they are not working together but each for themselves melissa egger organizes online events at the appearances for organizations of doctors and midwives and it's funny anyways it's one of you and for the country to get. most of her customers are located in north america no difference time zone that can mean

working long hours but the digital nomads needs to be especially performance oriented you need to be detrimental to make it work even if there's nobody sitting behind you and say well already know you're not doing your work please go back to work so it's a lot of self discipline and self planning your day. getting your things done making sure you need to add lines psychology is the reason most cargo has been living the life of a digital nomad for 5 years she knows this global lifestyle has its price the coronavirus pandemic has made things even harder a lot of nomads they travel every 2 weeks or 3 weeks you really have to take initiative to put yourself out there and it can be really uncomfortable sometimes so there are times as well when nomads can feel lonely or withdraw or even get depressed and in fact there's a term that has been quiet for that which is digital nomad depression melissa is

home after a long day she too sometimes experiences dotes loneliness and the longing for her family. hey sister are you ok. especially during their pandemic she calls her sister and mother as often as she can. and can plant. can we skype again one more. the 20 year old returns to europe so she could reach her family more quickly a year ago her father became ill with an incurable disease. being known with your family you value the times you can do you have them way more and especially during the process of when my dad was sick like talking with him every day and kind of also for me they made me connected to my family more. it's evening in a bar in central lisbon described

a pandemic places that surf rude are allowed to stay open melissa regularly meet her friends here some of them are locals and some are experts like her who loafed in a madigan existence imagine working 12 hours like a low hard project and then going to the beach there's 5 minutes away from you it's the next they were like and you're born. there's so much more to see in your world and so much more to grow. that i think i want to see more of before i'm able to help me to try my parents' house. oh through it it's in the will remain her home but at 28 she still finds its true parochial there right now giving up her life as the digit who no matter is out of the question. this pizza should give you a hint of where our next report comes from yes that's right italy at the moment to

lock down and curfews are making it's difficult for italians to go out and enjoy their favorite dishes and restaurants but thanks to a so-called writers like james people can have their favorite dishes delivered to their doorstep it's a comfortable option forecasts of most but a challenging job for those bringing the food. when night falls in the eternal city runs residents of feeling hungry an army of curious not just right to take the dog in the streets 28 year old james assault is one of. the trafficking growers and i clearly remember most there are a lot of cars but many don't abide by the traffic regulations. i'm talking about that there are many potholes i was that's what makes writing to run very dangerous bring them out pretty quick thought since the pandemic syndrome and to look people

can no longer buy now to pay for trattoria pizzeria launched a delivery service is a profiting from the situation. room for awareness for this is james on the phone the delivery guy i'm outside your building could you please condo. and then put on a little pizza pasta and dolce vito delivered to your door james had to pay up front so he's relieved when this customer gives him cash it's his 1st delivery of the night i was down and they have a sense as we quoted in pretty often recently i'm a student and at home all day i can't get out much even though i'd really like to in the evenings i prefer to order something because i have to study. if it is going to be that is what i want course restaurants like diesel or tele pizza and rooms pratinas missing their nightly customers. due to corona restrictions i must close at 6 pm i will be in the city even then we have 15 employees to pay

a few get short time benefits but it's not enough during the week we are simply losing money at their late doesn't think much of the big delivery services in addition to lapse she says for small restaurants it's just not worth it registering with them would cost $300.00 to $400.00 euros alone and she would pay them as much as 35 percent of our profits so she just regretfully closes up for the night i put on soil with the lunch businesses and takeaway sales in the evening we're keeping our heads above water sure that gives us a bit of motivation to keep going but overall it's really tough. shortly after closing time the ride is take to the streets of run james sets his sights on a promising district with lots of restaurants he's in pole position in the merciless race for borders customers and writing to his bike it's a flat tire he's forced to make a pit stop at the piazza when it's here but i don't know what happened to me it's

the 1st time i got a tire on the street. but that's life. he's one of more than a 1000 writers trying to earn a living on the streets of rome but jobs a very precarious. course for them bro i just got so anyway. james imagined life would be much nicer here when he arrived from nigeria 4 years ago. the pandemic has only made things worse for many immigrants like james normally and 602700 euros a month as a rider the next customer won't let james come up to covet 19 days on line but sends a 5 euro tip down the elevator and says only tip of the night. my shift is ending in a minute when it's over all right hold on to your hope tomorrow there'll be more orders and they'll let me work more. finito the app says he's done for the night it's

growing chilly here but the coliseum runs an ancient amphitheater to tamara james a multi-day cloudy to be battling his way through the streets of the eternal city for his people. that's it for today's show thanks for watching and they would join us next week for more stories from across we're up until then take care and good back.

millions can live. this is the news live from berlin congress confirms joe biden as the next u.s. president. bush dissolved. objections from republicans fail to derail the democrats' victory over the president on the trunk having refused for so long to accept the election result trump finally pledges a quote all the lead transition of. congressional estimation came just hours after an angry troll trampled malva

stormed the capitol forcing lawmakers into hiding outside police fired tear gas to disperse the rioters one woman was shot and killed by police. thanks for joining us the u.s. congress has certified joe biden as the winner of november's presidential election after a day of chaos and violence in washington this session was forced into emergency recess when a rampaging mobs of president trump supporters forced his way into the capitol to try to prevent lawmakers from certify the vote but the action failed to achieve its goal. the images that have stunned the world. and shocked the u.s. political establishment. hundreds of truck supporters stormed the capitol building in an attempt to prevent congress from certifying joe biden's election victory. the

police moved in and drew their guns. a woman who was shot by officers. and was later pronounced dead. was. earlier at a rally near the white house president trump had urged his supporters to rally at the capitol. going to walk down to the capitol was and were going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women and look probably not going to be cheering so much for some of. what the riots didn't succeed. the national guard moved in and a curfew was put in place. lawmakers later reconvened and certify joe biden's when the senate current resolution was the report we may is that joe

biden and com are here us will be the president and the vice president according to the ballots that have been given to us it's. many express their anger over the violence. including donald trump's own vice president. today was a dark day in the history of the united states capitol we condemn the violence that took place here in the strongest possible terms. and there are fears of further violence after weeks of misinformation that the president has fed to his supporters cleaning up the water fraud very special in the early hours of thursday morning the white house issued a statement from donald trump saying he promises in orderly transition on january 20th. but the violent scenes of the capital have shattered the image of american democracy. many world leaders including germany's angela merkel and meters

installed and barack expressed their shock french president had this to say. i just wanted to express our friendship and our faith. in the united states what happened today in washington d.c. is not america definitely we believe in the throwing things of our democracy. we believe. in the strength of american democracy criticism also came from a close trouble why. the route to the capitol. goes through police. must be vigorously can do. no doubt the american democracy will be incredible. always has. statements before and after the storming of the u.s. capitol has raised concerns over whether he is fit for office and over what he will

do in the remaining days of his presidency. i'm joined by richard painter he's a professor of law at the university of minnesota and he also worked as chief in the george w. bush administration and he's also vice chair of the group citizens for responsibility and ethics in washington unless the republican party and 2800 mr painter donald trump did not condemn the actions actions of the protesters in your view how much responsibility does he bear for the scenes we saw at the capital yesterday. i believe that donald trump is directly responsible for a lot of what transpired yesterday i at the ca. there are 2 times that we need to recognize are critical to any representative democracy 1st they will need to accept and acknowledge objective truth and the objective truth here is

very clear joe biden won the election 7000000 votes more than donald trump there was no significant voter fraud that could be demonstrated in any of the over 50 lawsuits brought by state republican parties after they get election the objective truth is that joe biden is the duly elected president they got estates donald trump has fanned the flames of hatred with his a lot he's about the election and about fraud that did not exist 2nd no matter what your political view no matter what your protest violence is acceptable we do not accept it from the left we do not accept it from the right don't truck in his campaign rallies encourage his supporters to beat up

protesters he has encouraged by and wants among his supporters and yes they did his bidding yesterday on the steps of the capitol and in the rotunda of the capitol this is the 1st time that we have had the capitol reach the security of the capitol great since the british burned down much of washington in 1812. this is a very embarrassing moment but the united states misled to do you may interrupt you there for just one second do you see in the light of what you just said is the grounds for his actual removal from office yes i believe that donald trump has shown that he is mentally unfit you need only look at his twitter feed it's not suspended but you need look at his twitter feed his speeches is very clear and this has nothing to do whether you're. a conservative or liberal this is not about me ology is mentally unfit for office and he's

demonstrated that time and again just recently called the georgia secretary of state and tried to get the georgia secretary of state to come up with 11000 votes he's out of control and he has nuclear weapons for the next 2 weeks he should be removed pursuant to the 25th amendment and then it did not house and tried by the senate so he will be disqualified from ever holding public office to get legal reasons aside with everything he has done nothing has dented his popularity among his supporters has he moved the goalposts of what is ethically acceptable for a president will it be visible in the future you think. believe that yes you and your supporters immersing people peel away from him in the republican party remember that most republicans did not want him to receive the nomination of the party in 2016 for just this reason. and yes we are in danger of

having people advocate for violence as an acceptable solution. to political differences whether those persons on the far left of the far right and it's going to be critically important that we as americans stand up against. we have a process for resolving our differences we have elections and this election has been decided joe biden will be the president we will continue to out differences of opinion but violence is never accepted thank you very much richard painter professor of law at the university of minnesota thank you. around the world there was disbelief at the scenes that unfolded in the u.s. capital just look at these front pages that we've prepared for you germany's built newspaper talks of a coup attempt and a moment of great shame and in britain the daily telegraph didn't mince its words eyes a democracy is on the sea the picture of trump support

most liberal universities sealed off by police offices and was a cannon's conveying a strong message that protests won't be tolerated here many students say that despite the shortcomings of turkish democracy this university still work the safe haven for academic freedom and many fear that will soon no longer be. the new man on the job. was never a faculty member at was a cheat he has run in elections as a candidate for the ruling party and is considered a loyalist of president of and that's why many view his appointment as a provocation. i know that by heart i am a physicist i know that a scientist needs freedom to think freely you don't need autocrats. and academic institution needs to be independent it should not be managed by someone with a clear political agenda. to get accounts instead of suppressing us like this and
