that we shall destroy european union i have to defend the interests of european citizens and i have to defend the interests of the german citizens the belgian citizens who want to keep the european union because it's in their advantage what i'm saying here is this it would be a bad thing for the peoples of europe if the political class of europe will. fully go for a bad deal with britain because they want to punish us they want to discourage other people leaving the club and i do not think that across much of europe that the political elites are held in any high degree of regard so you can certainly accuse me of attacking the european elites but my goodness me they've given me some take all right hear this from the german car manufacturers you told everyone in britain of course the germans will never allow terrorists to be slapped on their car exports to britain would want it and wouldn't want it ok so what did chancellor merkel tell the world she said the internal cohesion of the e.u. would come before defending german exports to the u.k. the association of car manufacturers s

or us threats to the worlds and within a few hours of reaching out and left the european union paper canada had proposed a model of political union involving canada it's an australia and new zealand so i believe that the anglo-saxon vote which in the last quarter of a century at least as being the sponsible for so much carnage and destruction around the world could actually be strengthened as a result of threats it's it's very interesting that i haven't that's i haven't heard that that is very new but you know you have to even before we have a new relationship you have that and the past one and unraveling the of from the relationship of the e.u. is it's going to take a lot of time 11 months isn't that much time big trade agreements usually take years so we're going to have to get you know can condense this down right here the issue is also in foreign policy and i'm glad marcus brought that up is that. the. u.k. is has usually gone along with a lot of the european countries the continental countries when it comes to foreign policy now that could be unhinged here i think england terms l

european union pissed in there what it wants this government doesn't say is oh well actually i did read the other day that a number of people in the european either don't agree with the commission for example i think it was the austrian finance minister maybe wrong about exactly what job he holds or maybe it was a commission i can't remember but he actually said quite clearly that the u.k. was an incredibly strong position because the european union needed the trade we also had the fire he's the only one is in the who is the only one of me finish the finance minister of a very election mrs merkel the other day about making sure that she didn't screw up the negotiations. because over a 1000000 and a half jobs in bavaria rely on exports to the u.k. of machine tools and cars alone there are plenty as i talk to a lot of european businesses i was talking to a person the other day that does low tech product is a belgian manufacturing producer potatoes he said the last thing we need in europe is a tariff wall because my business would go down the tubes i employ lots of people i said h

indicated earlier there's still plenty more to be worked out in terms of the relationship with the european union and i think for a lot of people though they have this very but can be very close relationship with the european where they might actually go to retain some of what they've had as part of being of being part of intervening but equally on the other hand we've got something we want a very very clean break from the european union and how they can reconcile the 2 positions on that is going to be very very difficult and also you've got big divisions within the u.k. not just between remain as leaders but also the position of scotland these are the the rest of the u.k. laws position that in this process as well i think the whole process a revealed a whole number of divisions within the day which are going to take some time to to address catherine to provide those divisions are they going to complicate issues or breaks it is would say that freed of the the dead hand of the e.u. the u.k. will thrive but the divisions going to get in the way of that. i actually think there will be very few divis

going to find it very difficult to get that voice protected i think what we also think about the european union union and the e.u. will be quite important in determining what regulations govern trade across europe and u.k. is going to be outside the decision making processes on that if we think about the role that you can use going to be playing in addressing climate change that's going to be important if it wants to set itself as a world leader that i can see the u.k. taking on the world leading role there would be far more influential if it was with it such as the european union promoting a shared view which could be representative of a much larger size of population than than the u.k. probably had david just change the tax slightly you are in belfast the northern island where there's been this whole issue of the customs union the massive issue they tell us what the mood is like there right now. what i would say is any mood of jubilation at all of it is a mood of quite considerable concern yes we've now got the protocol on our in the northern ireland such that we will not have a hard vote on

the departure from the european union has sparked great interest in leaving the u.k. it is a show we will discuss whether could break up the united kingdom we want to know what you think your thoughts with us and our live chat. if you disobey the ruse you get cut off could you please remove the flag. you know. i. had. i really lays it down resume your seat put your flags away you're leaving and take them with you if you are leaving. in this memory mcginest their vice president of the european parliament disciplining breck said party any peace on january the 29th and 2 days later the u.k. officially left the european union begin a transition period until the end of the year to negotiate a new relationship the historic end to 47 years of e.u. membership was met with a range of feelings celebration mourning and a sense of anxiety for many u.k. citizens living in scotland and northern ireland places where the majority voted to remain in the new black sea has generated renewed interest in independence from the u.k. as some citizens say that london no longer represents thei

course on the other side there are a lot of devastated people those who wanted to remain in the european union and that just doesn't change now that it has become the reality i saw a lot of people actually put european flags out of their windows today to mark this asian and to show they're still solidarity with the european union i think in la a large part of the country you can feel that there is the relief some pragmatism that the feeling now that the issue of brics it is once and for all settled so that the country can move on from the rifts that breaks it has cost of course they can move on but there's still a lot of work to be done prime minister boris johnson promise to make an incredible success what happens now what are the next steps for the u k. well boris johnson himself is painting a very bright future for the u.k.'s off a global britain that can try its own trade deals especially with the european union and he says they are going to be prosperous and positive times ahead but of course the reality is much more complicated and nobody really knows what's in store so for now he still

for me ok and your in the stream today breck said is finally here the union flag has come down at the european parliament but in places like scotland where they voted 62 percent to stay in the e.u. and northern ireland where they voted 56 percent stay in the e.u. the departure from the ukraine union has spotted great interest in leaving the u.k. it is a show we will discuss whether boxing could break up the united kingdom we want to know what you think share your thoughts with us and i live you can chant. we're going to wave. in the few. hours so everyone. if you disobey the rules you get cut off could you please remove the flags. you know. i. had. i really lays it down resume your seat put your flags away you're leaving and take them with you if you are leaving. in this memory mcginest their vice president of the european parliament disciplining breck said party any peace on january 29th and 2 days later the u.k. officially left the european union begin a transition period until the end of the year to negotiate a new relationship the historic end to 47 years of e.u. membership was met with a

act does prime minister boris johnson have to play in dealing with a new relationship with the european union and possibly a new relationship with the united states go ahead marcus well now that britain has left the u.s. in unions the hard work begins because last time the one happens next it's office opportunities to the u.k. so example for cool since britain see the gayness. as a listen to construct a sensible and coherence immigration policy on the other hand there are challenges to the u.k. and one of those challenges britain is to secure long term and fawns hey just trade it was with countries around the world and their last question marks as to whether britain can't secure and funds pages trade deals with countries so for example when it comes to america there is some concern that yes brits and it will be a share of the trade deal with america but just how as far as pages will actually do will be ok our markets and the 2 were the 2 words come to mind trojan horse that's what a lot of people are worried about is that they say the u.k. will be johnson will be so keen to get a trade agreem

this is basically european union of member states they caught that the idea. it's a really bizarre thing and you know we had a lot of fun in that parliament we actually put a bit of democracy i'd like to debate it but change that for the 1st star and i think they're going to miss us so you are now coming the unemployed because you are former any pain and she with that in brussels last week what was the mood like from the europeans perspective oh they will stop caring about a lot of it go to see the 1000000 other things it's a worry about and you know think of think in a way you know it's like if you're their teacher a playground and you got some kids that are heaps in the bins on fire and there's some poor indigo wallace in russia. without these people in 47 use the u.k. has been in the european union the complaining about everything will tell him. it's you know i think i think it in a way that quite relieved the turning of the virtual ice ice and well look you know the last 3 years we've you know we have a trust issue closer together for the members that are

the fact of the matter is that the only way back into the european union for scotland is if we regaintehood and regain our independence. but celtic cousins in wales, where leave had the upper hand, lowered the european flag outside the senedd for the final time. what we really won with this whole thing, it wasn't just a political party, it was democracy. democracy has won and that's what i'm celebrating. and on the irish border, for so long the issue that seemed insurmountable in the pursuit of brexit, remainers expressed concern and regret. tomorrow morning might not be different but in the coming weeks or months ahead, as we see rights and opportunities taken away from us, we'll certainly feel it then. leave supporters in parliament square were told we would still be friends with the people of europe despite leaving the union. meanwhile, a conciliatory message was emblazoned across the white cliffs of dover. the face we still show to continental europe even if, from now on, so much of our relationship has changed. john maguire, bbc news. 0ur political correspondent, tom barton is he

has officially exited the european union. the time there was projected on front of 10 downing street, home of prime minister boris johnson. he has called this moment one of national renewal. parliaments where. brexit supporters have gathered to celebrate. among them, nigel farage, a key figure in the brexit campaign. in parliament square, there is the crowd -- theink we will hear national anthem there. ♪ anchor: rory, quite an interesting set oup with this gathering that has come somewhat unofficial at parliament square. rory: this is the party that has been organized by nigel farage, if you can hear me over this rendition of the national anthem. nigel farage is, of course, the hero of the brexit movement. the arch brexiteer. he's a man more than anyone else who made this all happened. he put so much pressure on david cameron with his u.k. independence party. sorry for any bad language in the background. ollid cameron was forced to p the 2016 referendum. now they have it. all those people that voted for britain to leave the e

none of the britain has now officially left the european union after 47 years. have been celebrations and commiserations across the united kingdom with many people gathering in the streets to mark the moment of history. prime minister boris johnson says it's not an end but a beginning — but many questions remain over what the future holds. john maguire reports. they had come to parliament square from far and wide, from the north... t side. and the site. i've come from brighton. to witness what the rallystar attraction's called the greatest moment in modern british history. we should celebrate the fact that, free from the constraints of the european union, we once again will be able to find our place in the world. to be independent, to be free to make our own trade rules, our own laws, our own trade laws, who we trade with is supremely important for me as a briton. did you ever doubt that tonight might happen? yes, you bet. we said that, at times, in those dark days, that it would be a miracle if we got brexit and i think it is some sort of miracle that we have g

a referendum on european union membership the one thing we were not able to vote for was the status quo. it wasn't on offer because the eu has set itself on a course towards an ever closer union between a constitutional political and economic integration because the logical endpoint of the union. that is not the destiny of the united kingdom. our government has honored the promise we made to the british people to carry out their wishes clearly expressed in the democratic referendum. let me be very clear this point. this does not mean that britain will enter into an era of withdrawal or isolationism. in fact quite the opposite. want to see a truly global britain working with their friends and allies to promote our common values and objectives across the whole world in our common interests. we will retain our permanent seat on the u.n. security council and will continue to be core members of the g7 and the g20. we are members of the world trade organization. we will push our agenda for free trade and liberalization. we will be central players in imf the oecd and we will be at the heart of

officially left the european union, after 47 years as a member state. held by the center for strategic and international studies, this is about 20 minutes. >>> good afternoon, everyone. welcome to the center for strategic and international studies. my name is heather conley. we welcome you. this is our first full-fledged event in the new year. and i couldn't think of a better way to start our programming with, in some ways, the way we ended it, with a conversation on brexit. on friday, it was an historic day for both the european union and the united kingdom, and a new day has dawned for the united kingdom, and we're so delighted to have dr. liam fox here, a frequent visitor to washington, and i think no one could argue a great trans-atlanticist to help us understand the foreign policy imp cakes of thes implications of the u.k.'s withdrawal from the eu and what a global britain will mean for the trant atlantic relationship and the u.k.'s relationship around the world. in 1992, dr. fox was elected as a member of parliament. he has served with distinction

just approach the european union's high representative for foreign affairs many thanks for talking to al jazeera thank you you're part of a new european commission there's a new european parliament a new e.u. in fact 27 members minus the united kingdom but you've got real problems you've got people like president of france a sort of very powerful reformer pushing for more integration you've got a kind of steady as she goes germany at the moment struggling with the leadership flux you've got rule of law re shoes nationalism populism in places like hungary and poland how do you reconcile that. that's life it is their way. and we are not going to change these things on the night but it does make it difficult for. the commission president's view of a new geo political. commission a geopolitical e.u. based on shared sovereignty how do you create this sense of shared sovereignty working together building the feeling that threats that we are facing are indivisible the threat of terrorism in libya or the migrants illegal migrant flow in libya is not just a threat with immediate iranian countr

wishing that a law on the european union is still the french word because. they don't oversold a day or a bit also of course if we had stayed in the customs union the single market then we would never be free to strike the trade deals beyond which is one of the great attractions the irony of course is that today we've requested help from the we got in coronavirus on the very day that we left which to me demonstrates benefit of the need for international cooperation you know they were going to be joined without joining the euro. that because of the formal legal bills in 5 years' time the european union may be quite different structure. it's cable joe mcquaid thank you that's over the shoulder back on monday when the man who the gold drum but he signed as i say whenever i were in the what the recall been failed to put a progressive politics in charge of a nato nations even. during the great depression which i'm old enough to remember there was most of my family were unemployed. and it wasn't it was bed you know much worse objective listen today but there was an

when we went into the european union, i voted for it. i supported the referendum.he whole thing about the common market. passionate debates were all about what would have been to australia, new zealand. that sort of thing. the only people that talk about loss of sovereignty was michael foote [inaudible] what i saw in the cabinet, it was being run byhe commission. it was the heart of it. the two institutions of europe, theommission and the court, had a duty to increase central powers. i noticed this as minister of home secretary, meeting the other ministers of justice. u yoget to know their names, their countries. by the third meeting, some of them are gone. some are proted, sunset, some arrested. they were the check on the commission. en we met, all the papers came to the commission. we never met collectively to form policy. if we ever criticized it, the commission were always thethame people atable who said, come back later. they did thr months later. ministers of justirew, the the italian minister for justice went to prison for massive fraud. the irish minister o

workers in britain and vice versa european union is pushing to ensure that e.u. citizens enjoy the greatest possible freedom of movement even after breaks it but they may have to fight to get what they want. 3.2000000 equal citizens are currently living and working in the u.k. and according to the withdrawal agreement they'll have residency rights for the rest of their lives the same applies to the 1200000 brits living in the e.u. states but there may be obstacles for new arrivals in the future after all ending freedom of movement was one of the main reasons why many brits supported that is there's a chance for other countries. mclucas this coming from about forced and this could actually present an opportunity for the european union and because if britain decides it no longer wants to invite over skilled workers then it's important for a country like germany to be an attractive option for them because we may very well be facing a shortage of workers in the coming years i would be more than what i would name and in the. among other countries germany is hoping it

i mean i'm not wishing that a lot of the european union will still the french workers are. there over sort of a day or a bit also of course if we had stayed in the customs union the single market then we would never be free to strike the trade deals beyond which is one of the great attractions the irony of course is that today we've requested help from the regarding corona virus on the very day that we have left which to me demonstrates perfectly the need for international co-operation you know really we're going to rejoin without doing the europe. that could love the docs a formal legal position 5 years time the european union may be quite different structure. vince cable thank you dr the children back on monday when the man who holds the gold from bernie sanders tries to win over i were in the what we call been failed to do the progressive politician in charge of an age religion given. 47 years the united kingdom marks a historic day cutting ties with the e.u. was brick's it officially comes into effect the road ahead for britain is still where. you would come across i'm n

the game has changed because we left the european union.ion as a united kingdom, as the scottish people had voted to be a part of that united kingdom. having been told that the united kingdom was a family of nations and we were to leave the uk, scotland explicitly voted to remain. 62% voted to remain. actually, there was a very crucial poll last week that showed that 73% of scots wanted to stay in europe. so we were being taken out against their wishes. i have seen the polls and the latest showed 52% of scots approve of the idea of independence. so in some respects you ride high in the polls, but the problem is that you appear to be sending a message to the scottish people that somehow a second independence referendum is within reach when frankly it is not. and some of your former colleagues, people like jim sillars, a former deputy leader of the snp, have accused nicola sturgeon of wilfully and willingly misleading snp supporters by suggesting there is a pathway to a second referendum when there is not. i respectfully say to jim, and he is

britain leaving the european union.tors throughout the last two years was the status of northern ireland. we were at the british border minutes after it became the only land border with the eu. all of a sudden, this invisible geographical line takes on a great new significance. this, where i am standing, is now the new land border between the uk and the eu. there was no great fa nfa re, fanfare, no singing. a small band of protesters gathered here to mark the moment. nothing will change but it will have implications for thousands of businesses across the island. keeping this border open was always such an difficult part of brexit negotiations. in the end, a resolution was found through a controversial compromise, which effectively moves this border to the irish sea and leaves northern ireland in a halfway house in the future, abiding by eu single market rules, but it is staying part of the uk's global trading arrangements. of course i figured it was always so important to people to keep the border open because having an

and its policies we of course hear president trump say the european union was set up only to take down the united states so this was what europeans may find of a very refreshing tone from the secretary of state. how did the audience overall react to him saying the west was winning was there some skepticism about the. well secretary pump aylwin into a list of things that he felt that the u.s. and the e.u. agree on and there are many of those things but he didn't speak at all of course about the paris climate change sorry the paris climate treaty he spoke very little about how absolutely divided the u.s. and the european union are on the iran nuclear deal for example of course when you choose only to talk about the issues on which the 2 sides agree it will look like the west is is is very much going in the same direction that there is no west listening this as is the theme of this conference but of course you see sort of mumblings in the europeans in the audience saying you know that's not the way it is and we've heard so many other things from this administration and from secretary
