cars carry this effects of climate change, i mean, felt worldwide. deforestation in the rain forest continued carbon dioxide emissions have risen again. young people all over the world are committed to climate protection. what impact will because change doesn't happen on its own. make up your own mind. d. w. need for mines. ah oh, here in ne england, the fishing industry overwhelmingly supported breaks it. fishermen were keen to take back control of u. k. waters and become independent of brussels. almost 70 percent of voters in the
5:31 am
region wanted britain to leave the e you but now that's happened, they feel let down. i almost feel embarrassed. i bought it out. i wish i could stand by the blow. the with the from was this the sadly overly as way off. now we on the west or from before, but ah, grimsby a poor town by the north sea. yeah. oh, going to so somebody to where that i to us there in kenyan is one of graham's these last working fishermen, while he waits for one of his fishing boats to return to shore. he's repairing his lobster pots. he's been working since the age of 13
5:32 am
these days. it's mainly the younger fisherman working for his company who head out to see his labs as he calls them. darren takes care of everything on dry land. he learned his trade from his father. they used to spend weeks at sea every day, but in the 19 ninety's, the use common fisheries policy took its toll on the family business offices. the company switched its focus. the shellfish brought nails in the coffin as we've gone along. but i think we're getting to the end of a now we're, we're getting down to the last root nails in that say, you know, and it's to audi it's, it's, it's really odd with the rules and regulations to keep going. we'll just keep putting more more rules on yet many local fishermen have long since given up
5:33 am
there and still has 3 vessels manned by 3 cruise. he's managed to keep his business afloat, but like many here, he'd penned his hopes on breaks it. he thought he'd be free from brussels bureaucracy and e, you fishing quotas. one politician in particular had promised fishermen that breaks it would revive their fortunes. boris johnson visited grimsby on the campaign trail . martin boyer is his chief executive of grimsby fish market, a british institution for the last 80 years seafood, destined for restaurants and fish and ship shops across the country is sold here. a daily auctions overseen by the boss himself was one of the phases of the industry. it was way fine hearing grimsley, busy,
5:34 am
emotionally, a very high profile subject carries acute white. emotionally. that's exactly what boris johnson took advantage of the region as part of what's known as the red wall. the british constituencies that have traditionally voted labor. i visited in late december 2019, just a few days before britain went to the polls and a general election. i incumbent prime minister theresa may was bogged down and exit negotiations with the e. u. and rex it hard liner, boris johnson was determined to unseat her. here in grimsby, he pulled out all the stops. i really came here and recently made a great story because he came out with the future.
5:35 am
so any time any of the politicians wants a project, the fisherman is of all the fishermen. he's always been a little thing. ah, therein is getting a boat ready to go out. he uses crab scraps as bait for wells. looking back, he realizes that breaks it was used as bait in the last election to in this town here. we've always voted labor. when boris came down to grimsby and then everybody changed the opinion, he's gonna help posen this on the over. so, and everybody voted conservatives, especially grimsby morris. johnson's pledge to help the fishing industry take back control of u. k. waters and increase catches helped him a wind bowl in flooding. darren's, believing that better times,
5:36 am
lay ahead. he bought an old trawler. so we've, we've done about all the officials of been here and live chic to along as we go, we going free stages. so they've done allah and not one of them have said anything to he spent a year renovating it, using up all his savings. he's invested half a 1000000 pounds, over half a 1000000 euros in the new vessel. zillow, i draw, it's all new pipes. everything's over on new. zoe. the engine obviously is not. no . darren bought the 30 year old trawler from the family of a fisherman who died. but after doing it up, he was in for a rude awakening. because the trawler hadn't been used for 2 years. it was classified as new by the fisheries authority and lost its fishing quota.
5:37 am
my argument is, it's been fishing the phase 2 years, and then suddenly again go fishing. i could probably go back fishing. bullet told me that i'd have to pay about half a $1000000.00 pound for the quota, so it will, we'll just didn't want. we've got to get rid of it, so mouth now we're going to sell it. the government had promised to cut you red tape, but darren says it's worse than ever. the company's cold storage, lobster pots and shop are just across the road. darren's wife jenny, takes care of orders and deliveries. she likes working in a family business or son in law. dean is in charge of packaging. her daughter laura process is the shellfish. but when the business is struggling, there's less family time. her they all thought that breaks it would take the
5:38 am
pressure off. that's not how it's turned out. ah, we don't have a lie with love to do something different. and not think about going down here. the money wasted on restoring the old fishing boat, left them financially worse off. it weighs on all their minds. i suppose. yeah, an eagle eagle sleep time worrying about that kind of flail. so hopefully darren put the trawler up for sale for $400000.00 pounds a lot less than what he paid for it. every day they check to see if anyone's interested. well, the trouble is, every one here knows that breaks it has left the fishing industry. real english with new equipment tricks grow,
5:39 am
feel really let down. really let down. we are. we're west of them before roxy. so he's been, cho, was the john for the wishing with darren tied, he's up the dock while one of his boats heads out ah, ah, john steele and a young apprentice are off to catch wealth in the humber estuary. ah, he's also angry about broken bricks. it promises and thinks boris johnson sold the fishing industry down the river. spanish and french boats are still allowed to fish and the u. k. exclusive economic zone 12 miles from the coast. the government failed to change this in its negotiations with the e u. f. the fishermen,
5:40 am
holland dozens of these white plastic traps, wells are a delicacy in france, south korea and china. to work with. we tried to may 20, 30000 pound. yeah. all a good j. 50000 pounds on the body, aka may 10000 pounds. we where night going so well, this is was underneath was in control of that 3 other government. anomaly. john's deal isn't employed by darren. like all the local fishermen, he's self employed. they're paid according to what they catch. that means that if things go badly, they can be out on the boat for 3 days, but only earn a few pounds. but they love the freedom of working on the water. apprentice, scott bly has been working with john for 2 months now, and hopes he'll be able to earn a living as a fisherman,
5:41 am
despite the challenges. will think change, right? i will think, i feel a little change from, like i said, the government watches that funding people and training calls, especially schools, you know, whole thing. what, you know, the big ways are the grants. it was today with the fishing industry that we can make it blind, even though it's not a great grandma my income and it's, it's a lot what we also common people think about. hello, i, a few days later, grimsby fishermen used to bring their cash directly to the dog at the fish market. these days, the biggest sellers are called and haddock used in fish and chips explains martin boilers. the bidding process is almost imperceptible. the blink of an eye,
5:42 am
a slight nod of ahead. 99995 molar . this is all of this market has been london 5 result. well mobile on all of this makes it easy on the market today. all of these ice landing. so this is an open house, mainly for iceland. shy, marching boilers, blames ocean warming, pardon had migrated to colder waters off iceland, greenland and norway. that's where british trawlers fished when britain was part of the e. u. common fisheries policy. boris johnson promised to negotiate better terms, but the u. k. government failed to strike deals with these countries, and fishermen are now facing financial ruin. if the fisherman thought about the bridget rate was in the 1st life though, devoted to stay in the you role from the comment that you jose was
5:43 am
a system in place. so now will the u. k. goldman fisheries, a doing a written gauging? what was there in the 1st place, the negotiation with no light about reciprocal arrangement. i'm not getting them though, negotiating with iceland about access to walters on the got go in. and the whole thing has become a mess. so all of the people that thought about leave in and it would also be rosy . it doesn't happen. growing unemployment and the humber side area is one result. was the city of hall is north of the humber bridge. karl malone works at cape street fisheries. a traditional fish and chip shop. he's also feeling the cold winds of bricks. it it's early in the morning and he's taking delivery of today's fresh fish. now that britain doesn't have any of its own fleets and sub arctic
5:44 am
waters, it has to buy fish from norway and iceland. take, for example, this box of this year would be $1100.00 volts. you found price breaks it. that fish now to day is 2 at $220.00 pounds. so obviously the absolves our profit. we cannot pass that to the customer as it, which is an increase in so that we subsidize the price of the customer, making it non profitable. 2100 late to, to before a, to the i over paid loss was brought it in 2000 folded. nate? yup, cornel mag loan has had his shop for 38 years, but he's struggling in the wake of breaks it. hole is one of the poorest places in brittany, fish and chips is the national dish classic working class fair. but these days, it's too expensive for many. again, in the past, i would have sold people would buy
5:45 am
a lot sized fish. now that i have the money to pay for this fish. well now that has to be go through smaller fish because then they'll pay the price for the smaller fish. is becoming a luxury for the wagon man. ah, he prepares his ingredients every morning before the 1st customers start arriving around 1130. there mushy peas. let just generally all local people like down poll, but even the price is for please have risen since britain left the e u. he's here 20 pounds per box. this time, last year, there with them found the bug cool, massive buff double in price because there is no east european workers coming over
5:46 am
to pick the piece in the field. so obviously the novice did on the market is always reduced, which increases price. so again, major problem when carl opened his shop in the 1980s, beverly road was a part of a vibrant neighbourhood with shops and pubs lining, the st. ah, 68 percent of people in whole voted for brakes. it. they thought it would help turn the economy around sancho works at the shop. carl tries to take things in stride. these to dare for a promotion for cheap booties which is tips inside them. normally would be to found $85.00. today special off a warm pound. my fare is
5:47 am
a pound is better than nothing. so let's take a pound also. about an hour until opening back in grimsby some 50 kilometers away. darren, kenyon needs some new equipment for his boat. he still hasn't found a buyer for his trawler. luck place these days. this fishing supplies door relies on online business. there aren't many customers left here in grimsby shop owner simon monday, helps darren in the big coils. hey frank, i will come out on dogs here. what's leaded? letting him know site a that might be
