:14:49. > :14:51.straightforward. The European directive ensures that training
:14:52. > :14:58.standards are the same across all the member states. Post Brexit, this

:15:04. > :15:07.Italy, France on the same footing as those coming from Canada and the
:15:08. > :15:15.etc, it is probably going to take longer. Funny companies who have
:15:16. > :15:20.been recruiting EU nurses for the NHS, the pipeline has already
:15:21. > :15:28.started to drive. We have seen approximately a 20% reduction of
:15:29. > :15:33.placements. To sell the NHS to the EU nurses is much harder than it was
:15:34. > :15:42.prior to Brexit. They are scared of giving up everything within their
:15:43. > :15:45.homes, moving across to the UK, and not feeling valued, feeling like it
:15:46. > :15:50.might not be a permanent opportunity. Last time I was in
:15:51. > :15:56.Spain, I was approached by a nurse who wondered if she would be welcome
:15:57. > :16:00.in England. Which is such a shame. New figures have revealed that while
:16:01. > :16:05.over 1300 nurses from the EU register to work in Britain last
:16:06. > :16:12.July, in December that figure had fallen to just over 100. Among the
:16:13. > :16:15.EU nurses already employed here, only those who have worked long
:16:16. > :16:22.enough to qualify for residency had been able to achieve a degree of job
:16:23. > :16:28.security. I applied for a permanent residents and I got the results in

:16:34. > :16:38.stay in the UK. So the doctors saw you today... This nurse completed
:16:39. > :16:42.her degree and portico a goal in 2009. Since then, she has worked for

:16:53. > :16:57.controls the right side. If I were staying in Portugal, I would be a
:16:58. > :17:04.clinical specialist seven years after I qualified. I think the NHS
:17:05. > :17:09.invests in their staff in a way that my country doesn't. We think your
:17:10. > :17:17.stroke is on the left side of the brain. There are many EU nurses

:19:31. > :19:38.approximately 24 to 48 hours,. They can go out. On a good catch, that
:19:39. > :19:50.would be between 120 and 150 kilos. That is a lot of crayfish. Crayfish
:19:51. > :19:55.are very tasty and crayfish gumbo is a fantastic dish. Our waterways and
:19:56. > :20:00.London are chock-full of them. This isn't a great story about food on
:20:01. > :20:04.our doorstep, it is bad news, because these are invaders. They
:20:05. > :20:08.nearly killed off all our native species. But how did they get here
:20:09. > :20:16.in the first place? They were introduced for fishery business to
:20:17. > :20:21.export to stand on a via back in 1976. They were put into various
:20:22. > :20:28.quarries and fisheries around outside London and further, and they
:20:29. > :20:34.breed and they've got legs and they can get out the lakes, which they
:20:35. > :20:39.did. They sped around. Very soon after they were introduced, it was
:20:40. > :20:42.recognised that these American crayfish that they thought were
:20:43. > :20:49.immune to the crayfish plague carried it, and that will kill any
:20:50. > :20:53.non-American crayfish within two or three weeks. And kill them it did.
:20:54. > :21:00.Our waterways are now full of these invaders. They become a big
:21:01. > :21:04.environmental problem as local fishermen have witnessed. They can
:21:05. > :21:11.damage the environment, burrow into the banks, clear natural vegetation

:21:30. > :21:32.the answer is to trap and eat them. He started an organisation where he
:21:33. > :21:40.buys them from trappers and sells them on. I set it up as pest
:21:41. > :21:45.control, with the idea of trying to get rid of as many crayfish as

:21:57. > :22:03.to over 100 kilos in an evening for one of those events. If you have

:22:36. > :22:45.by the M25, but are not allowed to get near them.
:22:46. > :22:52.Trapping these pests seems to be a piece of cake. If we have so many of
:22:53. > :22:57.them, white and Bob trap them in the shires but is not allowed anywhere
:22:58. > :23:01.near them here? Many of the capital's waterways and managed by
:23:02. > :23:03.the canal and liver trust, and although they put the non-native
:23:04. > :23:07.crayfish and right near the top of their rogues gallery, they almost
:23:08. > :23:13.always refused to let people trap them commercially. The crayfish will
:23:14. > :23:17.eat younger ones as well. If you put down traps, even though they are
:23:18. > :23:22.quite intensive basis, you're more likely to get the older crayfish and
:23:23. > :23:26.it means that they won't be there to keep the numbers down on the younger
:23:27. > :23:30.ones, and the population can just explode. The other thing is the
:23:31. > :23:37.methods that are used to trap crayfish, these pots, they will
:23:38. > :23:41.catch other things as well and we had a number of incidents on our

:24:08. > :24:11.otters, would be able to enter into the trap looking for the bait which
:24:12. > :24:16.is placed there to attract the crayfish, but once in there, the
:24:17. > :24:19.otters would find it difficult to get out and this is some measures
:24:20. > :24:30.under the water, and therefore they will drown. The canal and river
:24:31. > :24:34.trust are aware that most commercial trappers use safe and legal nets,
:24:35. > :24:38.and it really won both the crayfish and the illegal trappers out of our
:24:39. > :24:43.waterways. We have a close the door for ever on allowing mass trapping
:24:44. > :24:47.in London. A trial is going on on intensive trapping to try its
:24:48. > :24:52.effectiveness. It has been carried on, and if those results show that
:24:53. > :24:57.it can be done, we would look into working with it on the problem.
:24:58. > :25:01.We've got several reasons for not doing it. So far, we found very
:25:02. > :25:06.little else that actually does work, and severe got to find some way of
:25:07. > :25:18.tackling the invading -- invasive species. May be one way of helping
:25:19. > :25:23.the native crayfish would be to stop thinking of these American invaders
:25:24. > :25:32.as pests. Like the otters, think of them as a delicious meal. I heartily
:25:33. > :25:38.say, the look tasty and the otters seemed to agree. That is all for
