britain is leaving the european union. we are going to make our own decisions and our own laws, we are going to take control of the things that matter most to us and we are going to take this opportunity to build a stronger, fairer britain, a country that our children and grandchildren are proud to call home. that is our ambition and opportunity and that is what this government is determined to do. at moments like these, great turning points in our national story, the choices we make to find the character of our nation. we can choose to say the task ahead is too great, we can turn our faces apart and believe it can't be done or we can look forward with optimism and hope and to believe in the enduring power of the british spirit. i choose to believe in britain and that our best days lie ahead. and i do so because i'm confident we have the vision and the plan to use this moment to build a better britain. for leaving the european union presents us with a unique opportunity. it is this generation's chance to shape a brighter f

european member state unity is very important, both for the european union side as well as the british side, in the sense that if we have 27 different specific agendas, it might be impossible to negotiate. we heard jean—claude juncker saying it is impossible to negotiate. we heard jean—claudejuncker saying it is not a question of punishing britain for brexit. is that how you see it? some people in the uk, i think, perhaps sense there is a mood to punish britain. no, there is no mood to punish britain. the decision made by the british people on the 23rd of june last year must be fully respected. we had similar situations in the past, when the finish, the french and dutch people rejected the constitutional treaty in a referendum. of course, the membership will be lost to britain once britain withdraws in about two yea rs. once britain withdraws in about two years. you think britain will be worse off outside the eu? objectively, yes, it will be worse off, in the sense that it will not be part of the single market to start with. it will be a third country, britain will be worse off, bu

britain it is official, has triggered the count done on the withdrawn from the european union. launch theresa may addressed parliament, the u.k. ambassador to the e.u. delivered a letter to the council president in brussels. the economic and political costs of brexit could be high for both sides. not least, further separation. scotland, for example, is now talking about leaving the united kingdom. there is also some rumbling amongst other euro skeptic member countries to will brussels seek a tough pardon to deter copycats yet good that is one of the questions you want to talk about here on quadriga. our town today, "brexit - a painful divorce?" that is the question we want to talk about with our guests. it is a pleasure to welcome petra pinzler, a journalist for die zeit. for great britain, the times after will be worst when the people realize their country is bound to the e.u. with less influence. catherine hickley is a british author based in berlin and a former correspondent for bloomberg. she says the decision to leave the e.u. will likely lead to the breakup of the united

agreement with the european union. but it will also ensure that whatever is agreed between the uk and the eu in the areas of management of die ver jent regulation between the uk which there will be over time we will diverge, smiechlz because we will moving in a more competitive direction and sometimes because they will be moving in a less competitive direction over which we have no control, so we must manage that divergence but do it in such a way that we're able to deliver for uk industry and for global industry ultimately pro competitive regulation in the area of standards and these behind the border barriers. when you regulate in ways that are anticompetitive you are imposing costs on your own economy, destroying wealth out of your own economy and the bigger opportunity for us is to stop doing that and to start actually generating and creating wealth both in the uk and the global economy. thank you. [ applause ] >> thank you very much. >> i'm going to take the usual moderators privilege and ask the first question wh

let's begin with britain's exit from the european union. last summer, by a margin of 52% to a8, people here voted to leave. theresa may wanted to stay in the eu, but now she has the task of negotiating notjust brexit, as it's become known, but also a trade deal with europe. since 1973, britain's laws have absorbed growing quantities of regulations devised between the 28 member countries, on which a court in luxembourg has the final say. those who want to stay argue this pooling of sovereignty has made it easier to trade and has created new protections in areas like employment or consumer rights. supporters of brexit say it's simply a case of taking back control. michael gove, you were a supporter of brexit, a big advocate during last year's campaign. on wednesday, the tone was sadness on all sides. by friday it had become steely. michael gove, should we be preparing for a long and bloody war between the two sides before the deal is reached? i think we should be preparing for a professional and hard—edged negotiation which at the end of it

union that we in the stand those who want that european union the most are not from aspirin but the people of the ground that surround it. why is ukraine trying to break free from russia? they're trying to break free because it wants to be part of the liberal international order. why? because in 1990 they chose to be part of the european union and part of the west ukraine was not allowed to become part of that order. they had the same per-capita gdp in 1990 today it is one-third of poland three times richer than ukraine and started in the same place in 1990. so the ukrainians and the polls to understand this. to provide them with political stability and economic assistance and provides with order and protection those are the people that i look to when i asked myself if the european union has a future. i could not care less about davos.

but full membership of the european union means full membership of the common fisheries policy. isn't that the case, first minister? well, ruth davidson has clearly not been paying attention. the snp has been consistent over many, many years in our criticisms of the common fisheries policy. and very clear about our intentions to see it fundamentally reformed. our 2007 manifesto, continue to work for withdrawal of the cfp. 2011, the cfp, well past its sell by date. the 2014 white paper on independence, independence for scotland would allow us to take a leadership role in reforming the common fisheries policy. so the reality here is, the snp that always stands up for scottish fishing, and always will stand up for scottish fishing. but ruth davidson thought the snp was facing in several different directions. the snp, saying they are in favour ofjoining the european union, but the first minister not confirming whether the first —— snp will back that in their manifesto. they say they are in favour of the common fisheries policy, except for mps in fishing constituencies, who are a

one party does well and says we are going to get out of the european union. it is over and done, not working for us here it is hard to consider it that we have faith in the european union like that brexit, or the chance of brexit, in country after country. that is disorienting for europeans, i hear. win if: if macron does he can become the leadership of a new european union? >> that is what many in france help here that he can rejuvenate the european union. the picture of the european union was always a french jockey on a german horse. the jockey has been mud-bound for a long time. how quickly amnesia about what the european union accomplished coming out of 70-years of the ever fought, wars certainly in the west. the european union has given europe, with all of its faults and bureaucratic nonsense, 60 years of prosperity and peace. charlie: it was overwhelmed by the notion that brussels was controlling local affairs. >> brussels made it easy. they went too far. now, people are resisting. charlie: emmanuel macron appeared on this program a number of years ago

this is just the start of the process of leaving the european union. downing street has moved to defuse any row with gibraltar, but difficult negotiations with the european union and with spain still lie ahead. iain watson, bbc news, westminster. 0ur correspondent tom burridge is in gibraltar, and he gave us his thoughts as to how people there are reacting to the debate. people are worried here in gibraltar. i do not think brexit with the impact the debate over gibraltar‘s solitary, britain and spain will probably never agree on that. but by saying that spain will decide whether or not a trade deal between britain and the eu can apply to gibraltar, the european union is saying that gibraltar, the way of life year, the close relationship, distinctive relationship which the territory has enjoyed with the european union up until now is up for grabs. gibraltar‘s economy relies on low taxes and the normally free—flowing border out towards spain, the threats coming from madrid are nothing new for people here in gibraltar. but it's been really does get

this is just the start of the process of leaving the european union. downing street has moved to refuse any row about gibraltar, but difficult local stations still lie ahead. our correspondent tom burridge joins us from gibraltar. how are people feeling there after two days of debate? people are worried in gibraltar. i do not think brexit impacts the sovereignty, britain and spain will never agree on that. but by saying that spain can decide whether a deal between britain and the eu can apply to gibraltar, the european union are saying that the way of life here, the distinctive relationship which the distinctive relationship which the territory has enjoyed with the european union up to now is up for grabs. gibraltar‘s economy relies on low taxes and a free—flowing border, like the border behind me. the threats coming from madrid are nothing new for the people here in gibraltar. but if spain gets that leveraged in the wider brexit talks, it makes that negotiation between brussels and london even harder. four men and two women are being questioned ab

the european union if it is to survive needs to shrink. it is becoming a remote, permanent, undemocratic institution. it can do a lot of good but there needs to be a lot less of it and there shouldn't be this tendency for conservative nationalist government, let's sanction it from a european level, people are allowed in national parliaments, more attuned to the people, stay out of their way in some way and facilitating free trade should be the european union's role and not this larger supertransnational effort. people are rejecting it. >> from the madison program. some people they liberalism and democracy pool in different directions, like collectivist directions where liberalism is a limitation of political power and protection of a credit sphere and democracy would be political form in which political power is not limited. is this where you see the problem? are we looking at a balancing moment where we acknowledge the liberal side in recent times, and in the democratic side of things in the world or do you see things -- you suggest liber

jurisdiction of the european union so jurisdiction of the european union sol jurisdiction of the european union so i can't see how the courts of the european union can affect people who live here, be them europeans or british or eu nationals or not. surely that is if they retain the rights are stowed upon them by being a citizen of the eu because they're not a british scissors, they haven't relinquished those rights, there has to bea relinquished those rights, there has to be a supranational body that can preside —— british citizen. to be a supranational body that can preside -- british citizen. if it's affecting the way britain operates as an independent, sovereign nation, thenit as an independent, sovereign nation, then it becomes a bit more complicated. the fact we are having this conversation shows how difficult the whole business of brexit is. untangling ourselves from 40 years ofjoint regulation and how it happens is very conjugated. this isa it happens is very conjugated. this is a proposalfrom michel barnier, and has the backing of the european parliament. —— complicated.

union, that is not just for -- [laughter] well, it is for the good of the european union as well, because our future relationship with the european union will be hugely important. the question that will be posed in our constituencies is this: which of the party leaders who could be prime minister should be prime minister after the election? that is what we will be asking the country. does the country believe that the right honorable member for islington north could lead it? i suspect that a large number of the right honorable gentleman's back-bench colleagues would say no, and that the businesses in my constituency would say no as well. does the member for westmorland and lonsdale whose voting record and attendance in the house, along with those of his colleagues, is generally pretty low -- two liberal democrats are present today, but none were here to vote on the budget yesterday -- really believe that he can lead the country? i suggest that the answer is no. i suggest that the british public, when deciding who to vote for on 8 june, will look forward with confidence to a prime minister

the picture of the european union was always a french jockey on a german horse. the jockey has been mud-bound for a long time. i think that is part of it. one thing alarming to us who love the france is how quickly we have amnesia about what the european union accomplished coming out of 70 years of the most horrific wars ever fought, certainly in the west. the european union has given europe, with all of its faults and bureaucratic nonsense, 60 years of prosperity and peace. charlie: it was overwhelmed by the notion that brussels was controlling local affairs. complaint, there are complaints about democratizing the union. brussels made it easy. they went too far. now, people are resisting. charlie: emmanuel macron appeared on this program a number of years ago while he was the economics minister in the hollande government. here's one question i asked him about the future of populism in europe. here it is. emmanuel macron: populism in europe are fueled by its first crisis and unemployment. ofy held by the absence vision, willingness. i am not concerned or freight

birke says france is at a crossroads -- either a return to nationalism or ever closer european union. is with us, too. he argues that in today's europe, it is either globalism or nationalism, openness or a closed shop, economic and social intolerance and state control. he says france's decision will make or break new europe. and a warm welcome to geraldine says the worrying political instability in france will not be swept away if macron wins. there will still be an urgent need for change in french politics. once again, welcome to group all. you join in the collective sigh of relief i just described after the result was announced? full relief, but partly, i was relieved because, was the mostn pro-european of all the candidates, so it was a relief he made it into the last round, but it you look at all the votes , you u get about 2/5 of the french population who voted for a frexit if you want to take it literally. i think the battle is not yet one. one -- is not yet don't won, andis not yet don' i will not exclude marine le pen winning in may. many people will not make a bloc like in 20
