with normal activity there is a risk of those infamous traffic queues at all on wednesday the british parliament voted on the trade deal agreed with the e.u. lawmakers had just hours to scrutinize the 1200 page document become only a few voted against it even though many agreed that it did not fulfill boris johnson's breaks it promises. for the prime minister the goods were delivered. here it is very good. question you ask yourself this is how i really. yes. this deal is good for you but also. at the port of dover the last day of the year began with clear skies and clear passage to europe 4 and a half years after britain's voted to leave the european union a cliff edge breaks it has been avoided but rough seas could be just over the horizon. take a look now at some other international stories the u.s. says it will increase tariffs on a range of a u goods including wine it's an eighty's development in a 16 year battle over subsidies paid by both sides to the aircraft manufacturers boeing and airbus new charges are being imposed on the airplane parts as well as brandy's from france and germany. th

brexit done, to coina just glad to get brexit done, to coin a phrase, it will go through the british parliamentean parliament will have to retrospectively ratify it at some time in the new year. but we expect in terms of the big picture the deal to be done but it looks as though some little bumps on the road need to be negotiated before an announcement can be made here by borisjohnson announcement can be made here by boris johnson and in announcement can be made here by borisjohnson and in brussels by ursula von der leyen. we expect this to be an historic day in the brexit saga. is it possible to sum up what the uk has gained or lost at this stage? we have not seen the details yet. we expect 2000 pages of detail. it is going to be spun on both sides. it wouldn't be brexit if it wasn't to miss another deadline, 4.5 yea rs wasn't to miss another deadline, 4.5 years since the referendum and just one week before the uk is due to leave all of the eu rules and regulations behind, but we will get a clearer idea of the future trading relationship, and there will be agreements also on security and on da

charlotte me start with you in let's start with this statement that was delivered today in the british parliament take a listen. we are all working to get a deal but the only deal that is possible is one that is compatible with our sovereignty and takes back control of our laws trade and waters. while an agreement is preferable we are prepared to leave on say called australian style terms. so charlotte is that the british government's position and added when it comes to opposed to trade deal with the e.u. we can take it or we can leave. well in fantasy both sides have said of various points in these negotiations that they do want a deal but they are not prepared to pay any price for it now on the u.k. a sign you really need to be able to sell this deal any deal that may comes success to the british public announce why you hear the word sovereignty over and over again as being the thing that the u.k. signed really does care about it you heard in that statement just there in it that really just goes back to the crux of the 2016 referendum the public was promised that they were going to be taking ba

charlotte we start with human let's start with this statement that was delivered today in the british parliament take a listen. we are all working to get a deal but the only deal that is possible is one that is compatible with our sovereignty and takes back control of our laws trade and water this. one in agreement is preferable we are prepared to leave on so-called australian style terms. so charlotte is that the british government's position and attitude when it comes to opposed broadsheet trade deal with the e.u. we can take it or we can leave. well in fantasy both sides have said at various points in these negotiations that they do want a deal but they are not prepared to pay any price for it now on the u.k. a sign you really need to be able to sell this deal any deal that may comes success to the british public are not why you hear the word suffer and over and over again as being the thing that the u.k. side really does care about it you heard in that statement just there in it that really just goes back to the crux of the 2016 referendum the public was promised that they were going to be t

be such a deal it has to be done in the next few days because it has to be signed off by the british parliament and by the european parliament there's an e.u. summit on thursday and friday they'll want to know the exact details as well and even if they have got a deal on paper it's going to be very difficult a big challenge to get it pushed through by december 31st there's talk that in fact it might be have to be put in place provisionally without the european parliament greenlighting it when the u.k. voted to leave the european union more than 4 years ago but the route out has been difficult in the 3 main sticking points are fishing rights fair competition guarantees and have future disputes are going to be solved even if the 2 leaders reach an agreement member states can still rejected france says it won't back a bad deal is especially as it tries to ensure it doesn't lose access to british fishing waters the 2 sides have just 25 days to reach a deal otherwise the divorce process will end in a no deal bragg's it jonathan lace is deputy director of the business advisory think tank british infl

bit prematurely because they're all still huddles 1st off it does have to get ratified by the british parliament westminster is on christmas holiday but it will be recalled on the 30th of december to debate that. but you know what considering that johnson's own m.p.'s in the past have voted against him on his plans i'm sure there's some nervousness and then of course it also needs to be approved across the channel by both the e.u. council and the parliament time is against them $27.00 nation states need to agree to this needs to be translated into $23.00 languages so really if there is still a considerable tough go ahead it would usually take months as a process then of course there's the question mark on how bumpy the ride will be once the rules are in place from january to fuss i think it's fair to say that there will be teething problems more than anyone i'd love to say goodbye i'm putting you on the shelf but i think it might be too early to say that force johnson's very optimistic but he has to be this is essentially what got him elected so it would be. it would be career destroying for him
