00:07as they will no longer have to cross a physical border.
00:12Border checks had long been a source of tension and frustration,

00:30We played it there for an hour.
00:32We've lived it in a very emotional way because we both have struggled a lot for this.
00:36We've been in England in all the marches, in all the manifestations we've done to achieve this agreement.
00:45The agreement will align Gibraltar with the rules of Europe's passport-free Schengen travel area.
00:51It was reached after years of talks between Spain, Britain and the EU.
