as long as the u.k. remains a member of the european union the u.k. has to go on implementing european union law. mifid ii is one of the biggest pieces of implementation we will be doing during this period. hot on the heels of that, in the context of the withdrawal legislation in the u.k., we are working with the government, having to go through all the regulation and the rules that come from the european union and work out how to transport them into u.k. legislation and rules. that is a big job. we are well underway. that includes having to deal with mifid ii among other things. we are trying to work out how to transport it into u.k. legislation. which is challenging in terms of timetables and load but we are having to do that obviously. the commitment of the u.k. is that on day one, we essentially have the same framework of legislation, rules, operating as we do, that is the point from which the u.k. goes forward. nejra: does this in any way mean you will have to adapt more as the sca -- as the fca, u.k. firms might get more time or leeway? >> as a

this is a lose lose situation they never wanted the u.k. to leave whereas for the u.k. side at least for those who campaigned in favor of bracks that they will hope to make this a success and to some extent that's a position is reflected when david davis keeps laughing in these. difficult negotiations when he talks about a substantial progress for instance when he says you know things are moving forward while his counterpart is saying we're in a deadlock and that is the ultimate also for the u.k. that they have to negotiate on something where later they have to say it's a success and the out of the likely outcome at the moment is either no deal or norway deal which would mean everything stays as it is but the u.k. would have no more say in the decisions of the e.u. institutions taking that into account again what you've just been reporting both sides needing to say face what's the possible way forward the very hard to say there's some talk about a transitional phase we're currently we're down to seventeen months to go now you have to substract a couple of months because

and u.k. actually take verifiable action and start limiting its assistance to the coalition their behavior likely will not change the only time we saw a change in behavior by the coalition was and it was a small change in behavior was when the u.s. put partial arms sales on hold under the obama administration due to gross violations of human rights and air strikes that were targeting civilian areas so there needs to be more action particularly from the backers of the coalition and i think domestically in each country in the u.k. and the u.s. there is growing domestic opposition to involvement in backing of the coalition and it's really reaching a fever pitch so i guess and i think this block list is a good first step but more must be done pick up more on that point which you mentioned about action from the backers but with for we go down that route i want to bring christine back into the discussion what does being put on a u.n. blacklist. i mean for accountability in practical terms. well i th
