5:02 am
so the reports. and so began the downswing new age of an independent britain and my goodness was it tasty starting 2021 with a lovely bridget breakfast of to 14 years of wed to bliss the u.k. is out on its own we saw the fust ferry leave britain's shores cross the channel and dock and kalai while the lorry to enter the euro tunnel off to midnight might have been given a friendly go ahead for others trying to cross from wales and i meant it wasn't such a pleasant the new wealth has been quiet and wholly had so far today the port authority indicates that 6 freight loads arlen's have had to be turned away do not have the correct references but being nearly bogged down in red tape isn't the only thing dampening the spirit regret and bits and the support to keep me strong in scotland
5:03 am
with a majority feeling that they'd be better off brussels. scotland will be back soon europe give the light on some would say this is the 1st stage of grief denial but with support for scottish independence rising by the day and hitting 58 percent in recent weeks there's now a fear that breaking with brussels might well cost the u.k. its 300 year union with scotland so bracks it is might be revelling triumphantly in their newfound independence now but there won't be any victory laps when they're left with a divided kinda no wonder than the people are nervous about the road ahead i would say as a young person my focus is mainly being on money travelling europe and education and that opportunity might be taken away from us very very soon the u.k. has given the will our. son got very little in return it's just going to make life
5:04 am
a lot were complicated the biggest impact for me is just going to be travelling and really not feeling like i am here anymore i feel like that's been kind of ripped away. while some a novice others just can't and that the pasta go in fact they want to rewrite the campaign for britain's rejoined europe starts at midnight. in the meantime hundreds of thousands are hoping the e.u. will forgive them and hand on a pity passport while others have gone to extremes during a deep dive into family archives praying that they can find some long lost friend job an italian it really doesn't matter a great great aunt 3 times a year or 2 may have never met but who might well be that lifeline to visa free travel if i understand it correctly i am french my mother was born in france her mother was totally french as was her grandfather so for me it is about reclaiming
5:05 am
what i already have and that makes me very happy i will always be a european that's for sure nothing like. father jumping ship to instill confidence in these uncertain times but boris isn't too bold that in fact he's wrong but pleased with himself this is an amazing moment for this country we have our freedom in our hands and he's up to us to make the most of it while it might be a freedom fountain of boris's hands but as restlessness disillusionment and division and britannia grow there's a sense that the only thing britons are left holding on empty promises from trickle to $26000.00 new cases of covert on new year's eve the highest rate since november the government's responded by the night curfews. we don't want to implement a nationwide or local lockdown who have we will propose an extension of the curfew

5:07 am
a lot of fish there are no more events there are no more buses there is nothing and on top of that we are closed in terms of health i took antidepressants i took center i throw up every morning i don't sleep much and i don't sleep well and i think i'm not the only one in this position among people i know there was my neighbor who lived right in front of my house who had a restaurant for 2 generations she survived the 1st lock down she was 36 years old she had a roadside restaurant it was an establishment that everyone knew and appreciated during the 2nd lockdown everyone had to close again but some roadside restaurants were authorized to open and as she was not on the list the next day she hanged herself if you want a morbid detail it was her 11 year old son who took her down from the noose a terrible thing to have to do were the poll from a french socialist think tank suggests a quarter of all our trade is usually after seeing their income plunge have

disgusted by growing unrest but that america is long gone protests which often turn violent seem pretty normal these days so whether the issue is white supremacy police brutality contested election results or declaring autonomous zones americans now seem far more willing to engage in politics and in violence or both 2020 may be looked back on as a turning point in u.s. history a lot more often are to the new york. historian gerald holmes says international attention on black victims in the u.s. does have an effect. i would concur it to what happened in april $968.00 in the united states after nobel laureate dr markham to king jr was killed at that particular moment you had demonstrations and we're up to there is another aspect of what's happening today that in a sense does. not mean the demonstrations global if you look historically at the
5:17 am
struggles of black americans what you'll find is that one of the ways we've made progress on the path is because de mint a national solidarity and so that gives me hope for the future one of the problems with their leader there decentralized and that is a direct result of the fact the clever black people don't follow a centralized political we're going to zation such as the black panther party in the 1960 s. the government comes out their leaders and puts them into scenario and kills them and so therefore in the end they have been used to have not only you know people just spontaneously come to the streets now i understand that and but what that does is it makes it difficult to plan it makes it very difficult to channel that energy into politics. this is all it's international life for russia thanks for watching this weekend coming up in off the break amongst the stories we're covering is ready

$4000000000.00 worth of imports from america and those in turn were a sponsor to u.s. charges on $7500000000.00 in goods at the core of this dispute is washington's long running claim that europe is unfairly subsidizing aircraft maker airbus giving it an unfair advantage than over u.s. rival boeing responding to the latest salvo from the white house brussels accused of undermining current efforts to solve the dispute. the us action unilaterally disrupts the ongoing negotiation between the commission and u.s.t.r. to find a settlement to the long lasting aircraft disputes you can take the position that all this tariff hike policy is sort of a personal vendetta by donald trump against the europeans i personally do not share that view my reading is that this is a sign of an overall return of protectionist policies that he days of the free
