  Speaker 1: Kevin growing Are, UK correspondent with US tonight evening his
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: time given. Good morning, Hi there right now. So we've
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: got this meeting between the EU and the UK. It's
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: a bilateral one, it's post brickset and what are we
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: going to get out of it? Do you think?
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I think it's going to be very very interesting.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: The Government's got a very very fine line to tread here.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: This is the first bilateral summit since Brexit, described by
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: our Prime minister as a really significant moment, described by
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: others les keen on Europe as a time to really
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: watch the fine print of what might be agreed now.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Make no mistake, the EU is the UK's largest trading
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: partner and many think that we need a reset of
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: relations since these sort of slightly dismistrusting Brexit period. And
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: it is thought that we're likely to see announcements of
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: trade and security tie ups, including British access to about
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: two hundred and seventy billion New Zealand dollars worth of
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: the EU Defense Fund in what could be a big
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: boost for UK defense companies. But there are also reports
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: that this could be an agreement on allowing travelers from
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Britain to use these e gates, the electronic gates at
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: European airports, which currently they can't do, and also big
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: question marks about food exports imports. Are we going to
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: be able to cut through the huge amount of red
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: tape that's been added since Brexit, which so many farmers
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: are complaining about. And another thing that's been well mooted
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: here is this youth mobility scheme where at the moment
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: we have, of course youngsters under the age of thirty
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: from Australia and New Zealand areowed to come and work
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: in the UK for a year, maybe two years depending
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: on the agreement. Nothing for the euse, so that may
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: be up for grabs as well. But plenty who voted
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: for Brexit here and are deeply untrusting of this government
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: are looking at the fine print of what's been agreed
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: saying we don't want Brexit by the back law.
