1:13 pm
a particular concern over the future of the national health service the universal medical care system that is variously guarded by a lot of people here in the u.k. now the coalition government as part of a shake up of the n.h.s. has already contracted out an increasing number of services to private profit making companies and the worry is that this deal would allow u.s. companies to come into the n.h.s. i'm privatized parts of it irreversibly said the protesters here a gym on doing that the national health service the british national health service is kept out of the potential us the e.u. trade agreement entirely now of course these talks are being held in secret that worries protesters as well they simply don't know what's being discussed but the main e.u. negotiator has a sure that the future of the n.h.s. will be fully safe godhead. all supporters of the agreement say it will benefit

1:15 pm
somewhat strained with regards to spying but do you think that would have any kind of impact on the negotiations for the trade deal or is this pretty much already a done deal germany are set to sign their part of it is going to cause i don't believe it will have a significant effect on talks it's going to take until the end of two thousand and fifteen when negotiations should be completed this current affair will be forgotten quickly and i think negotiations will continue as if it didn't happen. thank you very much it does seem that despite germany taking the unprecedented action of expelling that cia operative and seemingly standing up to the united states when it comes to trade they are going to sign this deal despite the concerns of some of the citizens here in germany. all the way a very soon tonight with putin's mega trip to latin america in just a few moments to report on the russian president's. capital. also
