. he came back at 11, and he's been talking since then. he said that the deal will give britain that will give special status, that is something that other leaders have fought against. but we know they'll be able to apply this emergency break. and there will be other details emerging soon. but this is being hailed by many people here at the e.u. it has brought you man must support and the foreign affairs representative said it is a good deal. this is something that at times during the summit we thought we might not get an agreement because the negotiations have been perhaps much tougher than people expected them to be. >> it has been an uphill struggle with long days and nights there in brussels. but i suppose now the hard work really begins ahead of the referendum in the u.k. in june he knew he needed to take home what he called perhaps a good deal to try to persuade those undecided voters to stay in the e.u. we know that there are many who are undecided which way they'll vote june 23rd is the date we expect them to announce tomorrow. he was supposed to meet them tonight. but that w

destination. this is a formal recognition of the flexible europe that britain has long been arguing for. in keeping britain out, i also wanted to strengthen the role of this house and all national parliaments. so we now have a proposal in the text that if brussels comes up with legislation we don't want, we can get together with other parliaments and block it with a red card. and we've also proposed a new mechanism to finally enforce the principle of sub sidiator which states that as far as possible, power should sit here in this parliament, not in brussels. so every year, the european union has got to go through the powers they exercise and work out which are no longer needed and should be returned to nation states. now, second, i said we wanted to make europe more competitive. and deal with the rule-making and bureaucracy that can cost jobs in britain and across the european union. we ask for commitments on all the areas central to european competitiveness. we want international trade deals signed, the single market completed and regulations stripped back. all of these things are

remain to be reformed. and britain will lead the way. we will continue to work so that britain works for the countries of europe and the people of europe. and crucially for the british people, who want to work and have security and get on and make the most of their lives. if we stay, britain will be in there, keeping a lid on the budget, protecting our rebate, stripping away unnecessary regulation and seeing through the commitments we've secured in this renegotiation. ensuring that britain truly can have the best of both worlds. in the parts of europe that work for us and out of those that don't. in the single market, free to travel around europe, part of an organization where cooperation on security and trade can make britain and its partners safer and more prosperous. but with guarantees that we will never be part of the euro, never be part of schengen, never be part of a european army, never be forced to bail out the eurozone with our taxpayers money and never be a part of a european superstate. that's the prize on offer. a clear path that can lead to a fresh settlement for britai

. it is in the national interests of britain to remain in the european union. we always made it clear that we are working for results with germany and all of your -- all of europe profiting from it. >> standing by and brussels, days, whatng off two are the remaining sticking points? it appears to be three. the first concerns to what extent the banks are confined by rules with regulations and the conversation about non-euro countries being bound by the countries agreed to. you remember how david cameron and it is athe caps thing they want to shield the british banks from. on the other hand, they want to make sure there is not a competitive advantage out of this and that the principle of the single market is maintained. the other issue is migrations gettingants in britain social welfare benefits they are getting at the same levels. david cameron wants to see that cut and wants them at the standards of living front -- like the countries they are from. suit aftert follow britain gets this provision of accommodating their demand. there also is the extent that all of this has to be enshrine

moves for a closer union. britain will never be in the euro, he said. britain will never participate in the future bail outs of countries. and there will be restrictions on welfare payments made to e.u. migrants. let's go straight to emma hayward because she has been following all of this. emma, how important of a deal is this? how might it change britain's relationship with europe? >> he said that britain would never be part of a future european super state. he said there would be tough new restrictions on access to the welfare system, and he also said that there would be new protection for countries which don't use the euro. that being britain, of course. >> a cabinet meet willing take place tomorrow morning. he's wasting no time. >> it has been a long slog to this point. he must be exhausted. his team was hoping he would have been speaking to his cabinet tonight. instead, he has been locked in those negotiations. but he has got the deal he wants. so he'll take that back to london, and he'll speak to his cabinet tomorrow morning at 10:00, and then we think he'll announc

summit saying he was battling for britain, a fight he says he has won. >> britain never part of a european superstate, there will tough new restrictions on access to our welfare system for eu migrants, no more something for nothing. britain will never join the euro and we've secured concessions for our economy. >> breakfast became lunch and dinner while the talks rumbled on. cameron's critics back home said he was asking for too little, that the deal was hollow, but many in europe said he wanted too much. ever closer union, more access to the u.k. welfare system and also safeguards against regulations being imposed on britain's financial sector. >> i don't want there to be different rules for london than for other markets. when we had a banking and financial crisis like we had in 2008 you can't take any risks. >> the heart of britain one of the world's biggest economies in the eu, britain promising to hold a referendum on its membership in the european union. >> the final decision is in the hands of the british people. let me finish by saying, i love britain, and i love brussels.

the 1970's, back then to be a pro european was a big thing in britain. margaret thatcher was less that way inclined. ever since then, the conservative party has been more skeptical. there is a sort of division. the british are stuck with possibly the most cosmopolitan nation in the world. we have always welcomed foreigners. on the other hand, we are insular. no surprise, we are an island. those things clash. charlie: what did he negotiate? john: he gained a little bit. he gained the idea the european union is not always about ever closer union. particularly for britain. he has got a few opt outs to do with welfare reforms. at the moment, one of the biggest issues in europe is to do with migrants, particularly internal migrants in the european union. what is happening at the moment people are getting angry about ofhe number czechoslovakian's and polish coming to britain and claiming benefits. he has a rule that says you get seven years before you are allowed to get benefits. it is worth something, but not really the sort of thing you can go out and so on the streets of britain with

attempt at european integration is now in question, and whether britain will stay or go is a hotly-contested issue that will soon go before british voters. it was a high-stakes moment: the british leader appealing to the house of commons, and to the country at large, not to bolt from the european union. >> our current trade agreements with 53 countries around the world would lapse. this cannot be described as anything other than risk, uncertainty, and a leap in the dark that could hurt working people in our country for years to come. >> woodruff: cameron said the deal he struck with 27 other e.u. nations on friday, grants britain special status. it includes measures to ensure britain won't be forced into becoming part of a european super-state. it also creates safeguards for britain's financial services and the pound currency. and, it grants london the power to limit welfare payments to migrants from the rest of europe. cameron is depending on that deal to win over doubters in his own conservative party. but the effort was dealt a major blow yesterday when london's popular mayor an

for an organization where cooperation and security and trade can make britain and the partners safer and more prosperous but we are indeed we will never be perfect european army had never be forced to bail out with the taxpayers money and never be part of the superstate. that is the part that can lead to a fresh settlement in the union that will offer the best future for the job security and strength for the country which promised nearly a year ago will offer security at every stage of their lives. that's what we are fighting for and i would commend a statement from the house. >> i'm grateful for the feminist or sending me the statement 45 minutes ago or an hour ago, i'm sorry. however it is a bit unfortunate that a the minister didn't think to come and update. when he would surely have been more respectful to the house to come here first. but in truth mr. speaker for negotiation has been played out at the moment. it's the operation in the 23rd century and people in this country that we beneath the pastor is renegotiating the wrong goals in the wrong way for the wrong reason. t

handle and truths to the people of britain and he is looking forward to a time when britain leaves the united kingdom and guess who else, vladimir putin, they want to split the european union, to fragment the european union to infiltrate better and we have to stop them doing this. that is why we say to the british people that we live at a time of major uncertainty and insecurity is. we have to be sensible. europe is weaker, it is definitely weaker in terms of trying to tackle these difficulties. hopefully the british citizens will choose to address their problems together with us in the future. turning to migration, presidents of the commission said that decisions taken at council have been confirmed. however unfortunately there is still a lot of national egotism and pilot projects at work. i have to say that expressly. if you look at things from a positive angle you concede there is a clear commitment we have to secure the borders of europe's and support our commitment on that front. the people fleeing the russian bombs, those people should not be abandoned on the turkish border, so w
