- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.ย. 2024
- From June 2017 to January 2019, Alain de Halleux gained access to areas usually off-limits to cameras, during negotiations conducted on behalf of the European Union against Theresa May, the British Prime Minister committed to Brexit.
We enter the technical meetings, the backstage of European summits, and the headquarters of the European Commission, where Michel Barnier and his team of some fifty civil servants are working on an agreement for the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union.
The director chronologically describes the whole Brexit soap opera in direct contact with Michel Barnier, in Brussels where the EU's governing bodies are based, in Sofia, in Derry, Northern Ireland's second-largest city, via Salzburg and Copenhagen. The only film to have followed these eighteen months of negotiations.
Documentary: Brexit The Clock Is Ticking
Directed by: Alain de Halleux
Production: Point du Jour & Watch TV for ARTE G.E.I.E, RTBF, VRT & SVT

We cannot thank the Brexiteers enough though. Thanks to you guys I don’t take the EU for granted anymore. I enjoy the freedom of movement over 4,200,000 square km, which is bigger than India btw. And next time I cross the Channel, I still can roam for free! Because the EU cares for its citizens.
Greetings from Belgium, EU
Same here; I had lived in Germany 15 years at the time of Brexit and decided to apply to become a citizen to keep these rights.
@@Korschtal : I lived in Germany in the 80s and I wish now I had never left. I loved that country and it still holds a special place in my heart. Thankfully I'm Irish with an Irish passport so I get back whenever I can. I hope to retire there soon.
Well done EU, very professional approach and well executed negotiations.
After 8 years talking about Brexit in the UK shows the success of it....😂😂
In the EU nobody talks about Brexit anymore....
only us, who laughing about the silly Brits....
i replaced the comedy show called President Trump with a many years running shit show called BrexSHIT!
schadenfreude maybe is not the most appropriate response. The loss of the easy trading between uk and the eurozone has cost both sides dearly. Also with tensions on the eastern border of europe, a strong ally extra could become very handy. The only winners are the tory traders in the city of London, the greedy p.o.s.'s
@@josvercaemer264the EU hardly lost trade with the UK, unlike the other way around.
Tensions on the eastern border of the EU can more easily be resolved by a strong EU that is in agreement with each other, focused on deeper integration. The UK has been frustrating that during 47 years of membership when they deemed something not to their (or their master across the pond) profit.
For now and in the near future, the EU is better off without the UK. Once it has learned to cope with its actual place in the world order, not their perceived place, and know what it means to be a teamplayer, they can attempt to apply again.
@@josvercaemer264 but the best thing is, the UK will pay for it dearly for a loong time...
the EU not...countries want to trade with us...because we are over 400.000.000, not 66 million!
@@ab-ym3bf Well said. The last paragraph sums up the problem for the UK; it never had any consequences for its actions, so it thinks it's a big power still.
Ironically, it could only hold onto this idea because of the protection from the EU.
Looking from outside, Barnier & his team of negotiators were very professional. Appreciate the way he sees himself as answerable to all of Europe, not just a few special interests. Bravo.
I remember Mr Tusk. Leaving without even a scetch of a plan on how to carry it out.
The British went to the withdrawal talks like lambs to the slaughter.
Who can firget that photo Op with Bariner and 2 assistants with 10s of files, and the British on the other side with only their thumbs to twiddle.
Not even an envelope or biro to show.
it seems the PM Theresa May and her party had no idea what the divorce would mean in practice.
end everyone knew it. except parts of the british public.
However Tusk came back to save Poland . David Cameron really FFS.
That may be true but they thought the E.U. Would fold because it needed them ! The true was you needed the more ,you can’t fix stupid ! 😢
@@trident6547 : Oh they did. May supported the remain side because she knew the difficulties that lay ahead, she just didn't know how to deal with them when they happened, none of them did.
I hope you get the next episode out rather quickly, it is a very interesting watch.
Hi, we're sorry but the series only contains 2 episodes. This was the last one. But you'll find more political and social documentaries in this playlist 👉 th-cam.com/play/PL7bTBlJiuHJD3DzDWIGhTVc0cUK9POya4.html Thx for your support!
The mantra from the British that "They need us more than we need them" fell flat on its face when the British realized that they didn't have the EU "Over a barrel" The UK didn't get the freedom of movement that they wanted, they didn't get the free trade deal that they wanted, they didn't get the customs free trade that they wanted either. In fact they got nothing from the EU that the EU wasn't willing to give them. Those who promoted Brexit promised UK fishermen their waters back, but that didn't happen, they promised no border down the Irish Sea, that didn't happen either. None of it happened because the UK was never the equal partner in those negotiations. The truth is the EU was always in control of what it was prepared to do for the UK. The UK had little to bargain with. Today it's the UK economy that's hurting from Brexit, not the EU. I hope the UK is never readmitted back into the EU because the UK never believed in it anyway.
"I hope the UK is never readmitted back into the EU because the UK never believed in it anyway." So if the UK ever has an opportunity to vote and rejoin, are you suggeesting they should vote against the EU?
@@jonphoenixThat doesn't depend on the UK but the 27 members of the EU if the UK can join the EU again.
@@bertoverweel6588I’m aware of that, but it still depends on both the UK and EU. The EU has nothing to debate and decide until the UK collectively chooses to make a request to rejoin.
The UK negotiators were blinded by the silly vote. Rude arrogant and most of all stupid to the situation they were in..
The British government never did negotiate,they never had a plan !
Neither had the brexiters to be fair. Who can forget Farage's "I want my life back!". First to run for the hills. Back now to point the finger of blame once it's safe and the heavy lifting is done.
@@lacommission.-sitcom696 : Yeah I remember him going to Ireland to try convince them to leave too - He got laughed at to his face and then got a kick up the arse and sent home. He hasn't been back. I'm angry at what he, and others like him, did to the British people. Those people didn't deserve that, especially the younger generation who will have to live with the consequences of the Brexiteers actions. It's sad really.
As a European I really appreciate the work Michel Barnier did in this negotiations. Ok, maybe it wasn't that hard, because the other side only sent clowns to the negotiations (I guess this all they have to offer, looking at theri current government), but still, he did a great job: Thanks Michel!
0:15 - NOT 52% of the British, 52% of those voted!!! = 26.2% of the BRITISH
You are right, but also stupid from people not to vote for something so important, and to vote for something so important you have to say 80 % of the people has to agree with it.
And don't forget some 5 million of us, both UK citizens in the EU, and EU citizens in the UK, were barred from voting.
@@Korschtal I didn't know that but it's another sign that the referendum was rigged because (correct me if I am wrong) those same 5 million could vote in a general election.
Well done EU !!!!
Honestly, Brexit was the best that could have happened... to the EU.
It's a relief to have those insular saboteurs out of the Union.
Imagine how upset people on here will be when they rejoin!
Waiting for next episodes

Out meen out. Danke UK für dieses Lehrstück von der gigantischer Dummheit der Brexiteers...
"Ambitious managed divergence" hilariously underlines how words cannot always mask realities. Theresa May tried her best for her country, but words could not stop the unavoidable train wreck.
Boris Johnson was more cynical : his antics and grand exaggerations made the train wreck (Exit means Exit) almost palatable to British opinion; but nobody was fooled outside the UK - and not many, I guess, inside the UK.
Sitting on a fence in the middle of the Atlantic reminds one of the 'Buridan's Ass' paradox, first mentioned by Spinoza: It can be deadly not to choose a side. Mercifully, nations suffer but they don't die. __ .
In truth they must of known it was a rubbish idea but a certain group could not stop it as they were infantile in mind and not up to the job.
And then Boris came in with a Fire Ship and crashed it into England. By the way, raw sewege has been pumped into Britain's rivers for years now. I guess it must be Brussels fault.🤣😂🙀
For some reason Michele Barnier reminds me of John Major
First sentence already wrong. "52% of British vote to leave". Not true; 52% of the voters voted to leave. Those voters included about 1 million from the Commonwealth, many of them resented FoM and many failed to remember that it was reciprocal. Legal British immigrants to the EU had problems voting or where denied their right, whilst all illegal British immigrants could vote. The amount of lies, misinformation and even illegalities would not allow for an informed decision. Politicians and commentators where put above actual experts and there was media manipulation and interference from other countries. Project fear = project reality.
Well, that’s one of your problems, that you consider a French, Spanish or German citizen living in the UK to be an “illegal” immigrant, whereas someone from a third and far away country is a British citizen for the simple reason of holding a British passport. It’s your problem to consider fellow Europeans to be aliens, while embracing people from other cultures and religions as your equals. Good riddance.
Well said. I was one of those denied a vote because I was in the EU. Thankfully, the German government was very helpful so we could stay here.
I haven't had as much as an Email from the UK government telling us anything.
Lord Randolph Churchill once said that Ireland would dominate British politics for a 100 years, looks like he was off by at least 50!
Ireland will be economically stronger than the UK and will dominate the UK along with America.I turn on a movie and popcorn show time!
Imagine, Tories with no street smarts spooked by a couple of dodgy polls and Nigel Farage. Same again now. No backbone.
So much BS from Barnier. When he says you cant have a phone being imported to the EU from UK if they don’t align on services because much of the value is there! So why does the EU import iphones from China? Does China align its rules with the EU on services? No. Listening to this one would think the EU is the only way to be a successful country. In fact the place is a sluggish failure that has grown 40% less per capita than the US. Since Brexit, the facts are that that there has been no provable economic impact on the UK- the famous impact are just predictions. We’ll see.
But i’d choose a 10% hit anyway to avoid being ruled by these arrogant clowns who know only about rules and regulations while the US and China roar ahead.
The Tories' repeated failures at competent economic management over the past 14 years is an indisputable fact.
They have deliberately pursued ideological policies that have undermined growth, public services, and Britain's economic standing.
It is a fact that their policies like deregulation, dismantling international economic cooperation (Brexit), and prioritizing profits over investment have hampered growth, trade balance, and economic efficiency compared to other European nations.
The government's disastrous mini-budget inflicted by Liz Truss has caused financial market turmoil, forcing the Bank of England to intervene and increase borrowing costs for the whole country due to unbelievable financial "incompetence".
The Bank of England was then obligated to prevent excessive pound weakness or volatility by raising interest rates, despite forecasting economic stagnation. Supporting sterling's valuation and meeting market expectations was obviously a priority, although they may have stated otherwise.
oardaaaah
"Brexit means Brexit"... how ridiculously vague.
😂 means weakening of the UK economy and therefore Ireland will prosper more economically.In my opinion, Ireland and Scotland will now be stronger than the UK, now is the time for them
@@ChristianoRodríguez-h3k Right. What a laughing stock the UK has become.
@@rayc9539 Well it’s because these guys don’t know what they doing or maybe they are just naturally kamikaze.Who knows …
I cannot bare to watch any more.
Tm.. b.tray.d...funny talk about that..when they do that thing 😂.. funny real funny..
