chaos -- add borders -- and other transit points the uk pound would decline very significantly probably overshoot -- so that it may very well -- declined to parity with the dollar -- before rebounding so and no deal scenario would be very very -- cb are indeed. can you see why the brakes city is c. leaving the e. u. s. that holy grail. what i mean i i knew that the current situation in the u. k. finds itself in inside the you will win opt outs for a lot of? issues within the e. u. as the best possible situation to be in for a country like the u. k.. in tea aren't you --breaks for the alternative of brexit they can do so for several reasons in my opinion.

it is perfectly fine to do so -- are logically coherent and used to do so -- on the basis of a nationalist argument that basically you want at retain complete sovereignty -- it is also possible to do s- but on a on a platform was. economic partners but does in destinations further far in the global economy. but you cannot do the latte. and the same time say that yo would be better off than you currently are. and you can certainly not advocate for us sovereignty is -- breaks it and say that you will get an economic bono's. so the real problem for me is that the basic argument that is percent info breaks it is one that is not logically coherent. and indeed truthful. and it's worth reminding people that this current do which use -- say is possibly the best

that it could be a many people share your point of view at this current deal was. negotiated by margaret thatcher and john major conservatives back in the day and of course theresa may now with our own -- different agenda i'm just wondering if many many working people in the u. k. got behind this idea of breaks it and still. have that point to do this the right thing to do do you feel that working people per se as such in general will get a tough to deal. if and when the e. u. rather the u. k. lease see you. well i don't think there's any doubt in my opinion that the would -- because what you would get and what you do somebody's that have already gotten in the u. k. is significantly lower levels of business investment -- and that also maye -- is going to fewer jobs and certainty lower wage -- increases than you would otheise havead -- i also think that -- especially if you have a no deal breaks it you're going

to have as i said earlier and significant decline in the value of the pound. that brings witht a higher levels of inflation and therefore no more real wages something that shod be of particular concern. for the average working person in britain so in my that many of the peoples of that voted for breaks it. up will get -- economic hardship as a result of it. i just wonder what people where you are saying about this whole situation because everyone has an opinion on this i even those who. don't stando be affected by dole what the people you socialize with work with think about this whole break that idea. well certainly i live in working in washington dc in the united states. and here are they've you is one frankly of incomprehension -- obviously there are many re who would see the breaks of gold in parallel

national debate first here - you're the president's next to a recycling bin -- that says -- reception of the grievances of the french people also -- the belief that you know this is just kind of for show it's not actually gonna go anywhere it is however recycling bins so. potentially could turn into something else it's not a trash and maybe that's a nice optimistic side. possibly comment. another one here -- illustrating the idea that many of us yours have that this is a sort of trap to to get them off the street -- just move them into the town halls instead you have prime minister edna philippe and the president i enticing a yellow vest wearing mouse in a jar there -- and finally there's a lot of people who just found the letter quite long. and boring this here you have a father reading to his kid it says -- though at least microns letter was good for putting the kids to sleep.

view of the images that are being shared -- around there and another part of this national debate that i found interesting what were these grievance notebooks -- many viewers may be wondering are these what are they all about well they are in fact. no books that are being put out at the town halls and as you can see here are filling up with the complaints and concerns of a french people so you have. town halls from across france tweeting them out letting people know that they're there and that they can come -- you can also do this online you don't have to do it -- and in person -- and at the lycee tweeted a video earlier today o macro and receiving the first -- kind of batch of these grievance says here he is sitting with mayors and they're bringing -- not only physical notebooks but u. s. b. keys that have the digital versions it should there we go you can see that the u. s. b. key -- full of of digital

grievances as well so. in the idea i gue is that my cronies gonna go through these and look at them so -- a reaction in les moaned newspaper today saying that you needed to whether or not the succeeds really depends on how much michael takes those grievances and does. turn them into action does something with that -- and also how many people take part in this and there's a poll that was put out. at that -- was taken last that about half and half people -- saying that they will or probably will participate -- and a little over half saying that they're not interested so -- even wther to take part in this national debate indeed so microns offered it and then there's a take up and then he has to deliver so once again he saw on the back foot in some way shape or form charlie. thank you next subject canadians be very helpful -- by handing so american workers affected by the us government shut down -- pieces the centipede system

that's right so certain jobs even if there is a national shut down their deems necessary and you have to go to work even if you're not getting paid air traffic controllers are in that group -- so some canadian counterparts deced to lend a helping hand -- to to the americans and have been sending pizzas -- ordering them from across the border and sending them all over america -- it so here have pictures this one is from new jersey from newark airport. at this one here is from minnesota another group in ohio more in massachusetts so the president of the canadian air traffic control association said that. more than three hundred pizzas had been delivered by a sunday afternoon -- and the american the feeling of ready -- i need to go to work mak sure that you people can still get on planes and lan-

and here's one prime example of this -- this is from a group in. maine air traffic controllers posting these ctures. expressing their thanks -- and then als you can see the comment at the bottom where the canadian air traffic control association says our pleasure a small gesture to show we stand alongside of you hash tag six guys hashtag solidarity. it's nice to see and hear of some solidarity a bright spot in the shutdown however in these tweets and photos being sent out you also see a lot of air traffic controllers think it's time to end the shutdown so i'm sure they would rather be able to buy their own. pizzas on but a nice cross the borders and show of show of support charlie thank you very much indeed telling me to educate the business thank you again and thanks to you for what you stay with will come here live. from paris
