are. i'm not. welcome to r.t. u.k. on a truly momentous day for the united kingdom tonight we leave the european union. preparation for policy in column a square a lot of bricks it is very happy that 4 years on from the referendum it's finally happening but if the main parties had what together could have been seen now. we'll be joined by labour's full of america london and livingston. the european union the u.k. wealth and now just a trade deal ringback to get sorted in the next 11 months so we'll get all the

inside track from our europe correspondent later this hour. and is the union at risk vigils are being held in scotland as the e.u. flag is set to be lowered despite s.n.p. opposition and holy writ voting to keep it. protests stalled on the border and the concerns that the departure could spark a return to the troubles if the drool deal protocol fails we talked to one of the m.v.p.'s replacing the british cohort barry andres. what it's fair to say the mood is very divided the sea as remain as. it is raise a toast to a new era in just 3 hours from now let's cross live no we won't will no hear from

shoddy. gives us an idea of what brought us to this day now and how we got here. breck's it is finally here but as anyone in westminster will tell you getting here hasn't exactly been a start in the park it all began with then prime minister david cameron worried about the threat from the u.k. independence party remember them cameron won the election 2015 with a small majority on the promise of a referendum on membership but then he had to deliver on it. 3 years ago i committed to the british people that i would renegotiate our position in the european union and hold and in a referendum now i'm delivering on that commitment while cameron campaigned hard to remain tory heavyweights like michael gove and boris johnson more of him later went to correct it and they got a narrow win 51.89 percent to just $48.00. having lost come in wasn't going to

stick around paving the way for 2 reason may to assume the top job she quickly changed her tune from hard to remain a 2 pragmatic writes it's there and pull the trigger an article 50 that the talks begin rex it means bricks it breaks it means bricks it tracks it continues to mean bricks it but with only a small majority in the commons the new prime minister if it should never get a deal through she called an early election to base those numbers but it didn't quite pay our labor leader jeremy corbett astounded the critics forcing a hung parliament and to cling to power they had no choice but to team up with a northern irish eunice the do you pig we have reached an agreement with the conservative party on support for government in parliament that proved to be a major point of contention the e.u. offered a breakfast deal with an all ireland backstop to avoid a hard border on the island of trade talks went sour but that sounded too close to a united ireland for the d.p. so she went with an all u.k.

backstop instead but that left the entire country in the grips of an e.u. customs union which many saw as a brecht that betrayal despite all kinds of ideas to avoid that scenario from alternative arrangements to technological solutions none of them quite fitted the bill the withdrawal agreement is in short a reckless leap in the dark there will be or can scare people going into the lobby is against this deal it is a denial of our democracy and therefore of the national interest the democratic unionist party will be voting against withdrawal agreement we now have a problem looked around only 20 percent of the public appear to think that this is a good deal i think should come as no surprise that so few members of parliament are also willing to support it not once not twice but 3 times parliament rejected the deal and with that by june 29th team it was time for the end of may i will shortly leave the job that it has been the honor of my life to hold. the 2nd female

prime minister but certainly not the last. i do so with no ill will but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country i love. now the end of may spark the beginning of course the former foreign secretary seize control with one aim in mind breaks it by how do we and he said he'd leave without a deal if he couldn't get a better one do or die get breaks it done let's get done get great get bricks done the best way to bring this country together would be i think to get bricks it done johnson even tried to suspend that pesky parliament getting in the way of his plans just weeks before the u.k. was due to crush out many sorts as an attempt to dodge scrutiny and the courts ruled on the hopeful but then the unthinkable another deal.

good to see the prime minister. my friend going to johnson we have a did we go on radio deal put it in the microwave what was the new deal well remember that all i didn't backstop that's right forces up and ready brek that bill was more like the 1st off the d.p. hated it but told to didn't seem to care but without the numbers in the commons just like you read that before him he found to get his deal through but he was not accepting defeat just yet can he make a comment today because. that you will not go back to brussels and you know they may think yes and so yes i did you a great deal in the end he was not dead in a ditch either mostly of parliament it was back to brussels asking for yet another extension with that guaranteed and he's also in the election he's been gunning for since he took charge. i just been to see how much she the queen earlier on and she

agreed to dissolve parliament for an election would it be a something which r.t. or not the hung parliament and the spirit of the season barra sidetracks it carol's daughter door. it worked and 80 seat majority in the commons suddenly it was so simple boris was able to do what his predecessor failed to get that bret's it deal done at least in the commons now just a trade deal to secure by the end of the yeah so the bracks battle is far from over what could possibly go. so that's been the tough journey to today but did it really have to be that way if all the main parties a got together and except for the result we could have left last march.

well the tourist particularly former prime minister to resign may accuse the labor party of blocking the exit potentially meaning a much harder exit tonight well let's talk about that with labor's former mayor of london ken livingstone our ken many thanks for coming in again a bit of deja vu with this on that let's look at the labor party's aspirations in terms of the withdrawal agreement as the if labor party had worked with a reason why we did less already and we had a much closer working relationship with the years of complete disagreement the vast majority of labor and he say you've got to stay in the single market in the customs union or lose hundreds of thousands of jobs and the tory m.p.'s refuse to do that because that means we're still bound by their rules so it's complete inability to get agreement the question now is you still got boris johnson saying we're not going to send a single market and that does mean so it's very very difficult negotiations because i mean the e.u. isn't going to allow us to just send all our exports into the you without being

bound by their rule will labor back boris johnson now on getting that trade do he wants well if he gets a good trade deal yes but he doesn't want to good trade deal if we leave the single market there's bound to be tariffs for regulations that you know. that's the thing about most of the rules say quite good they guarantee that workers have to have a 100 feet a guarantee environmental trips and things like that so depicting the e.u. as a big problem is nonsense i think the vast majority of people are very cheaply because they're angry we've lost so many good jobs you can't get decent housing anymore and that's not because we need skills you've got for 40 years pretty grim governments under thatcher and bread that didn't defend our manufacturing i mean one factual 40 is where we had 8000000 jobs in manufacturing now you got 2000000 but in germany 3 times the size of ours and this is our problem we shouldn't blame the e.u.

for it we should blame fancher blair can no longer that's ok back to this particular deal and going for do or do you think if the labor party had negotiated the deal that they would have done differently what if labored won the election in december and jeremy called me would now be negotiating a deal in which we state in the single market and he would get that through because the vast majority of labor in pigs behind that but we're not going to get that we were to yes go for labor was it breaks it was it called in that brought labor down on this i think overwhelmingly it was breaks it but also i was i know it never occurred to me i would see another politician subject to more lies and smears than i battled out with but what was said about him he was depicted as a monster anti semitic communists i mean literally our manifesto was depicted as communism but even if all our manifesto is being carried out we'd still be spending less on average services than france and germany are the communism but fun it doesn't say that if labor is obstructed you think then there's more chance of us crashing out without

a do i think it's very real terms of crashing out down deal goes to negotiate this in 11 months pretty unbelievable when you look back at negotiations in the past often 5 or 6 or 7 years so i mean i'm pretty grim about the future i think this could be a disaster and the restarts and duty title for god. i mean i used to debate with a meade never even read the that his staff were prepared for it and thanks so much attention and soon the studio the sea it's fair to say the mood is very divided tonight as remain as mourning breaks it is raise a toast to a new era just 3 hours from now let's cross live to correspond who has the treat of being in the thick of things at the pro breaks a party in the ready parliament square. in the rain tell us what the atmosphere is like that. well it's quite a common fear at the moment this part of the square is about half way full over the last hour or so people have been slowly making their way in and the atmosphere here

again calm but happy people are ringing bells there are many many people with you just. umbrellas. jackets and clothing and so on and really a sense of highlighting the british feel to this gathering here in the sense that brits and it is as far as those who voted for briggs a concern getting its sovereignty back 11 pm this evening and there have been lots of cars driving past some of them in support of this rally here will this party to be held and we're expecting this this part of westminster to be packed come 11 pm when the call will strike or 11 signify the u.k. officially leaving the european union about that point there will be plenty of chiz and happy faces here of course in other parts of london and other parts of the

country pops not so much the mood but here things calm as people wait for the festivities to kick off. thanks very much indeed for that live update from you throughout the evening. well meanwhile there is the celebrations but just on behalf of the country 48 percent to be precise didn't want to know. deadline to come let's cross over to our to your case there a cheetah who's getting the reaction from the remain is identity a rat let's see what the mood is like there with you. well it's been quite interesting actually just this part of the evening i've arrived near college green where i was told that the remain calm would be there protesting not a soul in sight so i have to say so i walked along the opposite parliament square where you just spoke to each opposite the leavings here and i've searched for i remain i spoke to a couple of police officers and they said they saw a few walk away but there wasn't

a gathering which is really quite telling but i found one you'll be pleased to hear rosie has travels 500 miles to be here rosie friends are coming on to the program with us can you tell me why you travel so far. from scotland who do you know to see the spectacle of. of the buttocks that we've been doing but i have to you and as you can see it's pretty upbeat people are quite happy here but obviously i met him enough to give me and i'm here to see this home to find some other people who had a late mind to thoughts like you still couldn't think any of you meaning people in your beard who have gathered together to be here today well you're going to have to talk on behalf of those remains maybe they've given up how do you feel when you know the u.k. are all going to leave the e.u. in a couple of hours well i think it's very very sad and i think that the united kingdom even the european union is going to be such

a detrimental effect on everybody here especially the young people in the future. to travel study and love and you get with the union and the european union and i think now it's a tragedy i think we'll lose this study and for the us missed for people to come due to the subject and not be. tragedy for a lot of people who are trying to better themselves and find themselves the best prettiest in any country in europe and what do you think it will mean for the u.k. globally what are the repercussions really going to be i think some of the percussions may be the best it is going to go from a border with 9100 but we can suggest of nation put it was and the days before this happens and zuma a more sales to have been a more. just a more not able to travel not able to walk. away things will be lost. and who do you think are the real winners in this i don't think there's anyone

other than us i think if there had been trade deals made beforehand if we had no one what we're going to be going through in the next few months if we had things then place to meet the trade deals if we could continue trade invest evident the deal over the bottles if that had been settled before dusty to d. which i wasn't beans and now it's leaving a lot of uncertainty and it's leaving a lot of people uncertain of the future ok rosy thank you very much for talking to less humid and so i will try and find some more remain on these streets but for now back to t.j. but there are thank you very much indeed that's in today richard of live in central london now overall on the continent has been saying its goodbyes before the trade deal talks begin your correspondent peter all of us joins us with all the latest so good evening to you peter tell us what's been happening across the channel and hello. well the u.k. flag is being taken down in brussels from the institutions from the parliament the commission on the council buildings we've also seen the e.u.

flag being taken down from british offices in the belgian capital while flags have been coming down what we did see in brussels on thursday night was a square in the belgian capital lifts up in the colors of the union flag to mark the u.k. leaving the european union we have also been hearing form on the line the e.u. commission president now she was saying that what she wanted to see in the future was a good relationship between the e.u. in the u.k. i think everybody's agreed on that but what the what is on the line was very keen to stress was this any deal outside of the european union couldn't be as good as membership. we know very well as the sun rises tomorrow and you chapter for our union of 27 will start and with it comes a once in a generation opportunity to ensure that europe leads the way on these 2 twin

ecological and digital transformations indeed tomorrow almost half a century of the united kingdom's membership in the european union is over we want to have the best possible relationship with the united kingdom but it will never be as good as membership well the u.k. may leave the european union at midnight brussels time however they do enter into a long period of trade talks and one of those nations that is going to be a lot of discussions about the future relationship with is arland in fact the irish to show. was speaking up on friday he said that he wished the u.k. all the best on their own but if it didn't work going solo then there was always a seat at the table for them. so tonight when the clock strikes 11 pm united

kingdom will leave the european union. we'll say goodbye to an old friend embarking on an adventure. their own tryst with destiny we do hope it works out for them but if it does not there will always be a seat for the united kingdom at the european table it's taken a story and a half years to get to this point britain is set to leave the e.u. later on on friday evening but it times that discussions between the u.k. and the e.u. sides they've got spicy. i've been wondering what that special place. in the her looks like for those who promoted but she was out of in the kitchen for how to cover events safely. keep to the i did criticize show by saying you know something nice. to british

position the most number. i did not. refer to her book to the overall state of the birds in which you remind me more and more i didn't know if you know him field marshal in back at. you know field marshal haim back at the well also setting a descent into 1st world war in his office in a log book and you all sitting here in stroudsburg where your people are marching to the rain. according to. the hell is still empty a month it means that the that the face. of the to be people. will. deny you contest the delight that was drums and all those bush quote the corrupt will never miss those who

scream and yell. thank you tonight and now and now thanks god without you we have construction our future admission to the u.k. . don't go to have. it's been tense at times this still could be plenty more of those to come with could have years of trade negotiations yet to come. thank you very much indeed for all of that well as the e.u. says goodbye it seems there are plenty who want scotland northern and to bid farewell to the u.k. the e.u. flag is set to be lowered from outside holyrood at 11 tonight despite a vote by the scottish parliament to keep it flying. the. pro e.u.

protesters have been outside the scottish parliament since the softer knew the country version heavily to stay in the e.u. on the toughest 16 vote with 62 percent backing remaining while the latest poll put independents in the u.k. head with 51 percent saying they would now back it. a future where own parliament and the government accountable to the people of scotland are responsible for the decisions and the international partnerships that sheep her direction and their destiny a future where we continue to be an open welcoming place to live study and work and a valued member of the european family of nations make no mystique after tonight that future is only open to eyes with independence. when we walk protesters have also been gathering at several locations along northern ireland's border with the republic organized by the border communities against brics that

group campaigners are concerned about how boris johnson's deal will see them have different rights than those living less than a mile away in addition that with oral agreement guarantees any checks needed across the irish sea all of that the long border but the prime minister has said he won't do that there are worries that a refusal to follow the deal could spark on the rest even a return to the troubles or we take a look back at bush johnson's breck's it deal and how it has managed to unite northern ireland's often fractious political parties in opposition or be it for different reasons. that referendum should have been a big red. flag for the. it's actually ironic the issue was so absent from the 2016 referenda become pain especially given the narrow result 522482 leave. voting 56 to 44 to remain. it's a unique situation 998 good friday agreement guaranteed no hard border between the

north and the republic to avoid a return to the horrors of the troubles. for both the u.k. and ireland made that easy breaking away means a little friction there's going to be a border somewhere and that's got to be either on the island of ireland or in the sea between britain and northern ireland. so how does. the whole u.k. leave the customs union at the end of the year. with the e.u. . moving from great britain to northern ireland which might move on to the rest of the e.u. are subject to the blocks. part of the u.k. customs union what follows e.u. customs and enforces them at its ports which means. it doesn't. see any.

foresees and. let's call that a difference of opinion and you can see why johnson doesn't want to call it a border we would be damaging. of the union with even customs control between great britain. but seriously some. call. checks call the procedures if you like will be needed won't even the brakes secretary said so for goods moving from great britain to northern ireland those destined for the european union will have to comply with european union rules and since then johnson has had to clarify the only circumstance in which you could imagine the need for checks coming from g.b. to n.r. as i've explained before it is if those goods would go into.

it. but if northern ireland's inforcing e.u. custom rules out its ports there's going to be a few formalities even if they are well formalities and that aside the kind of agreement needed means a very close relationship paves the way for a near agreement on all future relationships with our european neighbors based on an ambitious free trade agreement so no alignment but close enough to me no checks some in the e.u. are concerned that johnson's contradictory rhetoric suggests he could just ignore the rules 2020 will not just be about the future relationship but also implementing the but drawled agreement notably the northern irish protocol we will have to be extremely disciplined to get it up and running in 11 months to have you tail forwards he's applied the checks the u.k. has agreed to apply that creates quite

a lot of proprietary measures and certainly on our side grewal not tolerates any backsliding or half measures if you think it's all a mess you should hear what the recently reform storm of december think of us. in this case the 1st minister and i agree that we should not recommend the consent is that we should recommend that consent is not given albeit i would say mr speaker for different reasons while the assembly doesn't have to like the deal and likes gotland and wales it does and they do have to grow to love us in 4 years under the withdrawal deal. they get asked if they're happy and if they're not well it's back to the drawing boards. well that's it for now in this treaty the night in political history as the u.k. leaves the european union in a few short. and we'll be back with more special coverage in just a the half an hour.

from. now. on the. kind of financial survival job about money laundering 1st to visit this cash into 3 different. oh good this is a good start well we have our 3 banks all set up here maybe something in europe

something in america something overseas in the cayman islands and it will pull these banks are complicit in their club congress to decide to give mccall and say hey i'm ready to do some serious money laundering ok let's see how we did while we've got home we've got a nice luxury watch for max and for stacy oh beautiful jewelry how about. luxury again for max you know what money laundering is highly illegal thank you so much kaiser of course. but 2020 presidential campaign is beginning to look a lot like the 2016 race but this time around the insurgent is bernie sanders who's not even a member of the democratic party voters again are not interested in establishment politicians they appear to be rebelling against who we see from senators showdown.
