is an export market and is a valuable bargaining card in briggs's negotiations but he's not necessarily a winning hand. with the e.u. market needs fish imports or france imports 80 percent of the seafood it consumes so we need u.k. fish so although we can pressure the british and threaten tariffs on board. control's is not a long term solution because proficient they need to fish. ties between britain and france run deep on this coast where the d.-day landings took place in the 2nd world war the 2 countries were united against enemy powers few here want the fishing dispute to sour relations with an historic partner but unless britain and france can break the stalemate in the brig's it fishing dispute and reach a compromise that works for both sides france's fischman say they'll be forced to use whatever tactics they can to battle for their survival. al-jazeera put on best normandy we're going to go back to that story on the anti-government protests in zimbabwe several people arrested after the fire ban on demonstrations we can talk to from harare is a former m.d.c. spokesman robert good

parliament in london the borders on the customs borders was such a contentious part of the whole briggs it negotiation process and they watched as the u.k. government promising no. more just to remind you we've only got about 6 months left before the breaks a transition period comes to an end officially the u.k. left the e.u. in january and it still has to cut some sort of trade deal with the e.u. before the end of the year and technically it needs to have that all done and dusted by july so these kind of big announcements all about setting this scene before ongoing negotiations with the e.u. to prove to the e.u. that the u.k. is willing to push ahead with its plans with or without a deal with the e.u. hence the timing of this announcement to spend $900000000.00 on bolstering britain's borders so paul it's like the huge ports in dover will see new infrastructure built in the land to avoid any kind of snarling along traffic jams or the border when the changes come into force we're talking about new i.t. systems and we're talking about $500.00 new border guards being employed also the pla

finally there was a case called briggs versus elliott from south carolina, which was the first of the cases. there were human stories behind each of those cases and it is almost a coincidence that linda brown so movingly spoke, became the face of all five cases. >> how does the court decide to join cases like this until one specific case and then give that case a title? >> i think that in the circumstance, it consolidated these cases because they raised the same issue with the exception of boeing versus sharp which is what schiff talked about. they were consolidated for convenience and because it made sense to consolidate them and consider this issue as it was raised in the several states. the naacp strategy involved filing cases in the states where the issues were most stark as to the reality that they were able to show in brown, and that was that separate was never truly equal. that is what the court decided. that justice brown's decision in plessy where he said that if there is a harm of separation, of segregation, it is only because blacks are putting that construction on it. in b
