Sydneys bond beach normally a place of sun sea and sand recently its smoke thats dominating the world famous attraction casting a haze over the swimmers and sunbathe has. Historic bushfires in New South Wales perfecting businesses all over the state including a bond i supply chains are being disrupted and customers to keeping away. From a tourist point of view its being probably the worst weve seen because of the foists so weve got. You know reduced numbers so its the 1st time ive ever seen the like these 1st time ive seen it where i look at my window in a concert or water and thats very ironic ive been here for 47 eans further down the beach its a similar story that they see the nearest shop taking it down a 5th film out there no would normally expect from this time if you had someone say australia on fire obviously we have experienced more fire than any other year since ive been here. But the problem is when tourist see it that you dont want to come australian Prime MinisterScott Morrison is well aware of the problem during a visit to another tourist favorite Kangaroo Island this week he is told they make is not to be put off by the finest destroyers ive been destroyed your store a lot of applies to come and bring your family and enjoy your holidays back upon die theyll be hoping that message gets through with a fire is certain to burn the months to come. Now for more on this we have a very familiar face in the studio with us today d w Senior Business editor ben facility who has just come back from a long trip across australia and can tell us a little bit more about this. Ben whos pocket books are these fires hitting. I find it really interesting to hear the Prime Minister say the stranger is open for business i mean these communities are really hurting that have been affected weve got hundreds of thousands of people whove been evacuated. Just as we speak. Their lives their livelihoods at stake and yes straight ones the tourists to keep coming but theres not going to be much for the tourists to see i mean were talking about a 1000000000 adams that have been killed its going to be hard to find a koala as one expert told me we used to talk about these towns that are trying to recover from this or theyre suffering right now are we talking about towns that are really focused on tourism their focus on agriculture what are the problems here a lot of them are extremely focused on tourism and this is the tourism season right now and these towns of 22 ghost towns some of them have had the guts ripped out of them i mean theres nothing to go back to. And when i hear the Prime Minister say were open for business i mean straight is not just open for business to tourism which is a Huge Industry and very important its also extremely open for business to the coal industry coal being a straight a 2nd biggest export and being so important and the government is really being careful about saying whats causing these bushfires because it does not want to link it to Climate Change it does not want any sort of link or any blame put on the coal industry what about among themselves are they beginning to make that link in putting some pressure on the government there is pressure and there are protests as we speak being organized across a stranger in the major cities and across the world but the lobby group in australia that supports the Prime Minister the Christian Lobby Group and the cold lobby group so powerful they also have a stranglehold on the media through the middle media and that forms Public Opinion in australia and there are many a strange who is saying right now despite the devastation to spite losing their businesses and their homes and family members that this has nothing to do with Climate Change briefly you mention livelihoods in the smaller towns what about the big cities like sydneys covered in smoke isnt it this is the crazy thing often these fires only affect rule areas and so you dont really. Hear about it much in the cities but canberra the capital sydney. Even in new zealand i was in new zealand before getting to australia i could see the ash clouds from they its a crazy situation and its affecting productivity in the big cities which the engines of growth in australia and its going to continue for months they say right a grim outlook there from ben facility Senior Business editor thanks for coming in the studio been.

S. Aviation regulators one says they would not allow their own family to fly on a 737 max whos crew had been trained on a simulator the plane has been grounded worldwide since last march following 2 deadly crashes. Of britain is set to leave the European Union by january 31st following a crucial vote thursday in the house of commons the terms of approach of the post brags that trade relationship thats the next hurdle it could be one of the most difficult parts of brics it the big differences divide the 2 sides for example the time frame for johnson says the deal can be reached by the end of this year you Commission President or sort of on the line says thats impossible i consider how many areas need to be negotiated no less than 759. 00 in fact coming issues like legal requirements agriculture fishing customs an agreement on services is also important for Financial Hub london the overarching goal for the u. K. Is to get free access to markets without being forced to adhere to regulations and thats something that funded lion and the lead negotiator Michel Barnier have already rolled out. Now for more on this im joined by maria them out says shes Deputy Director of brussels based think tank bruegel and she joins us now from brussels ri its good to have you on the show. But 1st question would be is this timeline a deal by december 31st is that is that possible its increasingly looking that its not possible or regionally we had envisaged 2 years for this process to happen but through repetitive extensions that 2 year period was now shrunk to effectively less than a year if you look at the trade deals of the have done over the years across the world the average time length of a trade deal to be done is more than 2 years now theyre good reasons why one could think that theyre at radio between and no one member of the u. K. And the rest of the you can be done in less than that but one year is is pushing really hard and i think an important point that is becoming increasingly obvious to us is that come the end of january when the u. K. Actually leaves they you status will have to change and its important to understand and hear legal views are crucial whether that u. K. Can be still considered an e. U. Member for the purposes of these negotiations or it cannot if it cant if its a 3rd country which is it to my ears even though im not a lawyer sounds very logical it implies that it would have to be treated as a 3rd country which means that any of the a look can be reached between now and the end of the year will have to go through a National Parliaments to be ratified to be recognised for that to be true the deal need to be given to the country parliaments sometime in the spring so effectively we have very little time for negotiate anything and i think im beginning to see why mrs online said earlier this week that actually that looks pretty impossible so a big legal question at the beginning of the negotiations that could shape them we talked about some of the hurdles some of the areas they need to agree on whats the biggest area of disagreement in your mind or the biggest hurdle to these negotiations. It it and i think there is really want clear point and i think you mentioned it in your report as well and so you see the u. K. Is going to be looking to have access to you markets and hes going to want to have access not only to good spread also to Services Financial services primarily its crucial to the a now and these you would be wanting this about say would be pushing the u. K. To agree to basically to all the you laws one reason for the u. K. Leaving the u. S. Because it wants to follow different legal path to the e. U. Path so heres a trade off if you want to access to our markets the u. S. Says you have to take our rules in the u. K. Says i dont want your rules thats why im leaving this is going to be the big point that is going to be negotiated very adventure breeds matzos want to leave it there for now thank you very much maria metz is Deputy Director bruegel.
