he goes to into a very detailed proposition which goes towards changing the schengen the free movementns of the effects of globalisation, and the very interesting securtiy council in military and strategy terrorism affair which the uk, post—brexit, could join. the problem is that, at the moment, europe is divided between the macron type and merkel which are the pro—europe moderates and the eastern european, the italians and the austrians, who want to return to a one nation state. macron is now putting himself as the head of this new coalition which could save europe from the bad situation it is in, against populism, knowing that there are european elections and the polls show that he is ahead in france, compared to madame le pen, who is retrograding. the problem is, macron also thinks that britain being out has to make a stand, otherwise, germany will dominate europe. i do think that even as we get ready to leave brexit it hasn't stopped the filters through the british press being a little inaccurate in some quarters. i do think that we over playing at this right—wing populism, i prefe

there is a pylon about the schengen area. a quick explanation of that.o show any documents to pass across a border. if you cross from switzerland to france or germany with a lorry load of goods in the back then you may well be stopped. you have to go through some form of infrastructure. anyone who has been across the swiss french border for example, it's very efficient and moves quickly. the idea there is infrastructure is untrue. that's the problem in ireland. however smooth you can make it, take another border, the border between sweden and norway. we got this information from the norwegian customs authority. the average time it takes to do the customs checks that are necessary as 14 seconds but the whole point on the irish border is they should be no checks and no infrastructure at all and that's the issue. from making something pretty frictionless to completely frictionless. thank you to caroline and mark. more from chris and annita shortly. we arejoined by we are joined by caroline and chris. sign in, you have a specific question perhaps. it was rel
