EU: No Compromise on Freedom of Movement

European leaders say Britain must honour the free movement of workers to keep access to Europe's single market.

European leaders say Britain must honour the free movement of workers to keep access to Europe's single market. We hear more from the chair of the Eurogroup of eurozone finance ministers, Jeroen Dijsselbloem. And workers in London's financial district are worried Britain might lose its 'passporting' rights of access for finance firms across Europe. Simon Gleeson, partner at law firm Clifford Chance explains what is at stake, and pro-Brexit economist Gerard Lyons tells us why he's not too worried. Also in the programme, the 成人快手's Benjie Guy reports on the mood in Brussels following Britain's decision to leave the European Union. Plus we talk to the environmentalist Jonathan Porritt about the impact Brexit is likely to have on Britain's agriculture sector. And the 成人快手's Mariko Oi reports on how Britain's decision to leave the EU is being felt in Japan.
