11:51 pm
activists took the matter to court but with no success our reporter contacted the landfill managers and city of clinton but received no response. and so julian fellowes really has to consult her detector before she takes all children outside to see what is the way analyze the air today would you know right now it's looking good so we can go visit grandma and shop over. julia fellas or even 67 year old mother valentino. still lives in their home village only he knew he was coming to have some tea insult each. with. her grandchildren maija coming to visit she definitely briefly her house to his perilously close to the landfill but she's not going to move away to where would i go who could i sell my house to with all that stench out there they're not exactly lining up what are you and how could

11:53 pm
course the british government doesn't want to see this happen our reporter met 2 men who uncovered a long forgotten monument that symbolizes scotland's past and maybe its future. like most begins keith david to attending for the upkeep of the world's largest 3 dimensional map of scotland keith discovered the overgrown concrete over 25 years ago 1st he wasn't quite sure what he stumbled across a few tortie recognize the shape of a scottish peninsula. and minutes later i had walked north. discovered ben rowland walked across rockmore climbed over ben nevis and arrived at the north coast of scotland at the white house peninsula realizing that this was an astonishing relief model is the brainchild of young thomas rick a polish world war 2 veteran who displayed it in his hotel gardens near people's
11:54 pm
scotland he created 2 great polish map of scotland to express his gratitude and love towards his country 20 team and david's charity finished restoring the relief model to its former glory but great britain is still a member of the european union with scotland and poland part of the same minds keith from england is rather an e.u. skeptic from scotland is rather proud of you so this is where david and i diverged i think it's a super romantic idea that experience has shown to be totally i'm not going to accuse keith of having narrowness of mind or anything like that but i think. so you see all those who were on one aisle and i think somehow my impression is that the english people are more interested in 26 team 2 thirds of scottish voters rejected brags that britain's decision to leave
11:55 pm
the e.u. has divided the country. more and more scots think scotland would benefit from splitting off from great britain. to give it a scotsman think scottish independence isn't possible for geological reasons if nothing else and at one stage there would have been a sea between scotland and england when scotland moved on to england england went underneath and then volcanoes came off the line and so we're sort of stapled if you like to. do england i think is rather difficult to get away from them. as shown just how complicated leaving the political can be many scots or whatever are undeterred by fierce growing segments of the population. and we'll keep you updated on developments from scotland and other parts of europe
