Feeding Britain after Brexit

We look at how Brexit could impact industries reliant on an eastern European workforce.

We look at how Brexit could impact industries reliant on an eastern European workforce. Kent fruit farmer Oliver Pascal of Clock Tower Farm tells us why he doesn't expect UK workers to fill gaps in his team that might emerge as a result of the UK leaving the European Union. Gerwyn Davies is senior labour market advisor at the CIPD, which represents human resource managers, and explains how the process is forcing business managers to rethink how they use labour. And we get wider context from Ben Rogaly, professor of human geography at the University of Sussex, and author of Stories From a Migrant City: Living and Working Together in the Shadow of Brexit. Also in the programme, US President Donald Trump formally signed a new trade pact with Mexico and Canada, bringing his campaign promise to replace the three countries' existing deal closer to fruition. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Michelle Fleury was at the White House. And as new details emerge about the impact of China's Coronavirus outbreak, we get the latest from Kerry Allen, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's China social media analyst.
