eu, this is an issue that test the eu, this is an issue that test the eu apart but when you ask at the moment opinion polls in most of the eu, it is not that people want to leave the european union but they wa nt leave the european union but they want it reformed. they want it massively reformed. migration is front and centre in one of the top priority lists. that is interesting, isn't it, in terms of whether it has provoked anti—eu sentiment which it clearly has, to some extent, but not so clearly has, to some extent, but not so much that people are saying we wa nt so much that people are saying we want out. do you agree? it has fuelled eurosceptic parties. their main issue has been migration but they have pre—existing sceptic views on europe. renegotiating. what is happening is the conservative right is getting muscle from the clear and legitimate concern people have about uncontrolled migration into europe. what do you think about that katya? that it has fuelled the populist right movements in terms of political parties? i am careful when to say it fuels those parties. we have t

that with the eu bodies, not the eu. most of europe is actually rather sceptical about the european union. institutions of the eu. everyone is on the gravy train with a nice big pension. they don't like that we voted to leave and that the government is even going to enact a vote, because normally when people vote against the eu, they're told to vote again. right. i mean, katya, are they doing this, as you said, with popcorn? is it with glee that they are watching what they seen as a certain amount of entertainment over here, or in sorrow? it's not — that was a bit glib of me to say about the popcorn and the crisps... no, no, it's fine! but, literally, it's because they, like we, are in front of their television sets, watching. do not think for a moment that the eu just waits, from negotiation round to negotiation round. people in this building are pouring through our press and watching what's on our television screens, which means that even when i go for background meetings, never mind what they say on the record, they

it is the basic structure of the eu. even if there were, let me finish, even if their work, and there are divisions internally in the eu, but they are part of the european union. once they leave, they can enact those divisions. bags all i meant. it was reported this morning that david davis met with michel barnier, his counterpart in the european union but he has had lots of meetings with other countries trying to do a deal here and deal there. in the end, the commission is charged by all 27, it used to be 28, to be the negotiator. just as immigration, there are all kinds of domestic political things going on in hungary and italy, in the end they get together at the summit and they come up with a unified proposal and that is how they negotiate. i am amazed you do not want to admit that is how reality works. the meeting at chequers within a few days' time so, guess what we will be discussing on this programme next week? finally this week, 81—year—old anthony kennedy is retiring as a us supreme courtjustice. nominated

also you have to do the internal eu bargain first. melinda: does that internal eu bargain get even harder to make, given the role of the new u.s. ambassador here? he said this week that he sees his role within his new post as .mpowering right-wing movements that is a very unusual thing for an ambassador to say. with that amount to inciting the divisions we just saw? ralph: absolutely. he crossed a red line for diplomats. i think that is not appropriate behavior. we should stay in touch with other countries and we should also negotiate with other countries on foreign policy. we should never influenced the mystic politics. floridans who live in theng to put pressure on administration to influence the domestic politics of cuba -- it never worked out. i think the ambassador should learn his lesson. daryl: he never should have given the interview to breitbart. it is viewed as a propaganda channel, like the american version of rt. melinda: we have seen the chancellor, angela merkel, this week giving several interviews in which she continued

then there's the eu's customs union. the government says it's leaving so it can strike its own trade deals. it's one of its so—called ‘red lines'. but how to do it without going back to a hard border between the uk and ireland? that could undermine the delicate northern ireland peace deal. brexit supporters want britain to regain control of its borders. but that's seemingly incompatible with the european union single market, which allows the free movement of goods, services, money and people within the eu. so big internationalfirms in the uk want to know — what sort of arrangement will replace it? the likes of airbus, bmw, siemens and nissan have all been warning of catastrophe for their businesses if trade barriers go up. well, after a meeting that went over by six hours, theresa may said she's been fighting for a fair deal for the uk's exit from the eu. on brexit i have been stressing that we wa nt on brexit i have been stressing that we want a deal that will work for the uk and for our european partners. and if

eu. eu citizens who have beenin fred—mack eu. eu citizens who have been in the country for five years by the end of twenty20, the end of the brexit transition period, will be able to apply for settled status, which means they can live and work in the uk. if they haven't been here for five years, they will be able to apply to stay until they reach that threshold and then get settled status. we are expecting to find out today about the application process and how much it will cost. let's get the details from norman smith. i hope we can get norman to you. good morning, norman dot in westminster, as ever. what more i were expecting the home secretary to say in terms of the real detail? i think what we will get from the home secretary is a promise that this will be an easy—to—use, simple, straightforward application process which will be able to be completed online. it will be processed within a couple of weeks and is likely to cost about the same as a passport, around £72 50. the diffi

either my country is going to open a back door against the eu —— open a battle against the eu, all we do not know what it is going to ferment. i'm very sceptical. for the sake of my country and the sake of europe, i hope the new government can bring some positive result and thinking, but i have serious doubts about their capacity to do so. another alternative, the european establishment listens to the voters, all over the place, notjust in italy, saying, we do not like the system. and the problem is, is it not, that the likes of you, who have been in charge for so many years, are sitting there saying, voters have got it wrong and we have got it right. and actually you have to say, if the voters don't like it, the voters don't like it, how do we deliver what the voters want? first of all, i haven't been in charge for so many years, i have been in charge only since 2014, and i represent political renewal in the centre—left. of course, there have been mistakes in the past,

on top of that, news this week that the eu is considering imposing visa requirements on eu citizens. these are the negative views that will come out in the run—up to the withdrawal treaty being presented before parliament, if it ever gets to that point, and then parliament, mps will have to look at this and think, we are going to spend 40 billion for this? what does this mean! is this really worth it? look at the political dimension, the kind of business, the being corporate businesses, making these threats, the public is already alienated, many politicians already alienate it, because they feel that the interests of that kind of big global corporate industrial structure is not sympathetic to the needs of the communities that i was just talking about, the real people. and it is amazing, the consistency with which public opinion manages to say, first of all, "project fear", then "project fear" part two, now "project fear" part three, they say, these people are not interested in my future, they are interested in their profits, as viewed... they provide thejobs. brinkman is is very ni

, i wait forthe eu summit with north african countries, i wait for the eu summit where the organisation of african unity has a full suit at the table to discuss this. most of the migrants are coming from sub—saharan africa or the horn of africa. when you talk of a regional settlement, it have to be well down as far as nigeria, at least, in order to begin to get some coordination and just to deter people and break up the gangs that go into the villages and say, you can go to europe, give me $10,000, and then they end up drowning in the middle of the mediterranean. and then they end up drowning in the middle of the mediterraneanm and then they end up drowning in the middle of the mediterranean. it is the people smugglers who benefit in that way. that is an issue we have barely touched on. you will know that brexit was also discussed at the summit. donald tusk says it is the last call for britain to lay its cards on the table. theresa may has summoned her cabinet to the country retreat in chequers where they will meet to thrash out a white paper, the blueprint for the uk's future relatio

the prospect of the eu, or the uk rather, crashing out of the eu without an agreement. that isn't something anybody once. it is difficult to see how those preparations could really be made at british ports, british airports and so british ports, british airports and so forth. nonetheless, such as the urgency of the question of solving the irish border question before october, people are now beginning to talk about that. we will hear more about it over the summer. ok, good to talk to you. thanks for your time. ona to talk to you. thanks for your time. on a slightly lighter theme for this is what happened when the belgian prime minister handed over a belgian prime minister handed over a belgian football shirt to theresa may. hours before the two countries face each other in the world cup. so, a gift for theresa may from her belgian counterpart. smiles at a summit where they are in short supply. around 100 soldiers have arrived in greater manchester to help firefighters battle a huge moorland blaze that has been burning for four days. fire chiefs say they fear it could las

brexit ministers are saying it will be ok, the eu will play hardball saying it will be ok, the eu will play hard ball until the end saying it will be ok, the eu will play hardball until the end and then compromise. you can call the optimism desperation, depending where stand. this drama brexit has been slow, but it is about to liven up. not in a good way with one cliffhanger after another per head. john, thank you. president trump has threatened to impose a 20% tariff on all cars imported from the european union, as the transatlantic trade war heats up. shares in european car makers fell sharply this afternoon after the president made the threat on twitter. the eu has just imposed tariffs on a range of american food stuffs and goods in response to us tariffs on aluminium and steel. house of fraser has been told by its creditors that it can go ahead and close 31 stores as part of a rescue plan with the loss of up to 6000 jobs. the closures will affect up to 2,000 house of fraser staff and 4,000 staff in concessions. the earmarked stores, including the flagship on london's oxford street,

on brexit, the eu 27 has taken note of what has been achieved so far. however, there is a great deal of work ahead and the most difficult tasks are still unresolved. if you wa nt tasks are still unresolved. if you want to reach a deal in october we need quick progress. this is a last call to lay the cards on the table. alex forsyth is standing by for us at westminster. theresa may has made big leagues before, linking to the speech in florence. she will have to make another. even if you could get some of these proposals pass the cabinet, there is no guarantee they would fly in brussels? that is quite right. the refrain we have heard from the eu leaders is there not surprising to theresa may, you have to come up with something and do it soon but there is the problem of how she gets the cabinet to agree. there are still fundamental differences and yesterday the president of the u —— european commission said he did not want to lecture us theresa may had to bring her cabinet onside. he was stopped by the bbc political editor and he sounded more optimisti

current rules mean that eu students could study at any country in the european economic area, the eu plus norway, iceland and lichtenstein. and they can do that for the same fees as local students. so in 11 other countries, that's ten in the eu plus norway, uk stu d e nts that's ten in the eu plus norway, uk students can study for free because home students don't pay any fees there. other countries also charge pretty low tuition fees. in france, state—funded universities charge between 180— 600 euros per year. of course there can be language hurdles to ove rco m e course there can be language hurdles to overcome in studying abroad, but many universities, like germany, off of —— offer courses in english, giving native english speakers and advantage. we don't have any exact figures for the overall uk students setting in the eea... that is still a lot lower than england, there are 2700 78 students in the uk in 2016-17. quite 2700 78 students in the uk in 2016—17. quite an increase from the previous year. the obvious question is what is likely to happen after brexit? the eu and

as the eu itself? what is the sense you are getting from people there? i don't think there's an extensional crisis right now from migration but i think what it is doing is driving these populist forces within europe which are perhaps more of an extensional threat to the eu. from a failure to get hold of migration we have got brexit, a populist government in italy, a hardline in austria and other countries. when they are negotiating the do not play hardball just on migration but many issues and it is the influence of nation states within the eu right now and the same threat is coming from overseas from the united states and there is deep concern here in the eu about what is going on with this relationship with donald trump will stop remember all the way back to the post—war years, an american president in solidarity with germany. now the european council was saying to me last night to have an american president who sees enemies in europe rather than friends. donald trump is visiting wisconsin as he co

and what about aligning with eu rules and regulations in northern ireland after brexit, which the eu says is a big part of dealing with the problem of avoiding a hard border. michel barnier said that all of this adds up barnier said that all of this adds up to that fact that at the moment, the only proposal that works is the proposal that he came forward for early on this year. and he explained why in this way. recognise that these questions are relevant and difficult. let me recall that our backstop power in this document, provides answer to each of these questions. it provides solutions to the unique situation. the uk is taking a different angle however, it is looking for a uk wide solution. let me clear, be very clear, our backstop cannot be extended to the whole uk. so what is going on here is that in private, the eu officials and diplomats they say that what was presented yesterday wasn't actually an alternative to the backstop as the uk said, it is something else. it isa the uk said, it is something else. it is a big proposal about future operations and customs. if you see mich

on brexit, the eu 27 have taken response. on brexit, the eu 27 have ta ken note of response. on brexit, the eu 27 have taken note of what has been achieved so far. however, there is a great deal of work ahead. and the most difficult tasks are still unresolved. if you want to reach a deal in october, we need quick progress. this is the last call to lay the cards on the table. the prime minister goes back to checkers on friday, calls the full cabinet. one of the proposals is the single market for goods and agricultural products, that could solve the problem on the irish border. that would be a big sell to the cabinet. who knows, maybe there could be resignation. if she back with that plan, the mood music would be that doesn't work? it is something they doesn't work? it is something they do worry about here. if they see theresa may go through the kind of fire in westminster, emerge with something and come here and it doesn't fly, and one of those is dividing the four freedoms. there are some member states who have more interests in a goods relationship with the uk who are more s

we have just had a press conference with the eu trade commissioner who is in charge of the eu's trade policy. she accused the us of engaging in pure protectionism and she confirmed what we expected, which is that the eu will lodge an official complaint at the world trade organisation today. and the eu ta riffs trade organisation today. and the eu tariffs on american imports of things like motorbikes, jeans, orangejuice, could things like motorbikes, jeans, orange juice, could start coming into force as soon as the 20th of june, this month. interestingly, she also said that the eu is going to launch legal action against china over the fact that the chinese government forces western companies to hand over their intellectual property if they want to do business in china. they are doing that firstly to prove that the existing world trade rules work. you don't need to rip up the rule book, you can use the rules that exist. secondly, they are sending a signal to president trump himself, because thatis to president trump himself, because that is any hue he cares about as well. adam fleming i

most countries outside the eu are very competitive. you don't need to be in the eu to have competitive industry. what the airbus company should be doing is putting pressure on the eu to negotiate properly with the united kingdom government about these matters, because we want to negotiate, why don't they? no doubt there is pressure on the uk government to spell out more detail of what it wants from brexit. theresa may is in brussels next week to meet eu leaders. beyond that, the government is due to publish a paper and the clamour and now is for a clear vision of posts brexit trading terms. the difficulty for theresa may ishii has to reconcile her party first. alex, thank you. new eu tariffs on us imports will come into force in retaliation for american tariffs on european goods. a range of products, from motorbikes to levi jeans, will now be subject to a levy of at least 25%. the president of the european commission jean—claude juncker says the eu will do whatever is necessary to safeguard its trade interests. damian grammaticas is

we still have to exit the eu with a deal or not. i wonder ifi the eu with a deal or not. i wonder if i have time to ask for your quick thoughts, we talk so much about the no deal, what would that look like actually for the rest of europe? no deal, what would that look like actually for the rest of europe7m would be catastrophic, in a sense. europe has trade relations with britain, she is a major trading partner. i don't think we could easily see her leaving the fold and threaten the business. more than that, it would threaten the cohesion of the eu, when a major power like britain leaves the club. and for germans it would be terrible, they would be left alone with the french! complaining all the time. they are really not the partner we once. written as a natural partner for germany. she is into free—trade, has democratic institutions which rival and mirror our own. democratic institutions which rival and mirror ourown. —— democratic institutions which rival and mirror our own. —— britain is. we would be terribly upset. angela merkel i imagine would be at the for

the of eu ifs-resent the of eu if we sent the of eu if we want the of eu if we want to and growth, we create opportunities and growth, we need to be world leading. we can be world leading in terms of animal welfare , world leading in terms of animal welfare, financial services... let us address the notion of leading. who has been setting the standards regarding data protection? it has been the eu. so much so that companies in america have followed suit. as far as who will be setting global standards, is it going to be the market of 65 million people or the market of 65 million people or the market of 425 million people moving forward? that is the reason why we are looking less than as a nation because of brexit because we will be copying the rules of the eu but will no longer have a say. let us move away from the economy for one moment and talk about education, which we were reflecting on with chris morris. to what extent do you think it will change british students, and educational opportunities leading the eu? for one, being in the eu provides an opportunity to get round an elitist

eu member states are meeting extreme to decide on the exact list. many economists agree on the measure. europe is a very b big economy d a very important market for u.s. products and has a lot of influence. that is why it's right to show the u.s. that they cannot just do whatever ththey want. the eu must use countermeasures to steer the process in the right direction." but it is those who are affected most who are speaking out against eu tariffs on u.s. products or taking other measures. the german steel association fears that it could lead to even more trade barriers and further economic damage. helena: for more on this from where joined by our correspondent terry scholz in brussels now. the eu trade commissioner has said that when it comes to america first, it will be met with your united. -- europe united. will the bloc in agreement as to how to respond? reporter: so far itreporter: looks like it will be, helena. some of these were teed up before today in the expectation that trump would follow up on the threats. the lists have been drawn up of u

out 27the eu, but they -- the eu will continue on with the integration process. support has never been higher across our member states than the last year or so. host: one of the things that might alleviate this is a clause in the eu constitution that requires a single currency. you think there is a value in separating the eu from that? guest: this single currency has been a huge success for most countries, and if you look at popular opinion you will see huge support for the euro. did in a europe of separate currencies, it was not a advantage. there was no gain for anyone. we trade so much between ourselves -- having a stable, single currency across 19 countries is a huge benefit, and i don't think people are going to give that up. of course, the treaties require that new members join the single currency, but only when they are ready, and only when they have met the criteria of economic convergence. this is not a mechanical exercise that happens automatically. there is wide discretion. the u.k. had an opt out on the single currency. other countries, sweden, denmar

medard eu, although you are much. medard eu, although you are much older than the. —— neither do you, although you are much older than that. the honour is all mine, mr mccoy, and i used to be a big fan of yours in star trek. that wasn't me. you have that other wonderful career as a jockey, you were so good. that wasn't me. oh, who are you then? oh, so you are simon mccoy. the real mccoy. boom boom! . can we talk about your career for a moment. it took me all week to think of that. 50 years, what were the highlights? the beginning is always a good highlight some of the very first episode, 50 years ago last week. me and rodney bewes were there, couple of unlikely lads. live programmes with a live studio audience, we were there to begin the basil brush show and the rest is history. one of the greatest highlights was actually leading lady di because became so huge, but i was invited to meet her and wheels and harry —— william and harry. maybe they could be asking me back on their programme. they and seven. lady di

that will depend on getting a satisfactory dealfor the eu, with the eu. at the moment, the position of the government is that it wants something called mutual recognition, where the eu will recognise the uk‘s regular tory regime —— regular treat regime and vice—versa. they say it is not on the table so we will be interested to see what plan b is. it may be because we have to pay a lot for access to financial services. it is important we do not prioritise the interest of the financial sector over other areas of manufacturing because that would exacerbate the imbalances that exist already in the economy. as far as the city is concerned, what are your primary worries about drop and make job losses 7 worries about drop and make job losses? thousands of jobs worries about drop and make job losses? thousands ofjobs in london in the, to anyone a of london‘s economic output. so far we have not seen economic output. so far we have not seen any mass movement from economic output. so far we have not seen any mass movement from banks, have we? a small trick

but eu citizens want more reassurance. there's very little trust in the home office because of the windrush scandal and also they need to be able to fill an application, be able to go on line. i think there's barry is, basically. this is a huge and complex scheme, and after the recent windrush scandal, there's enormous pressure to get it right. sajid javid suggested, as the son of an immigrant parents himself, he understands the concerns. but only a system that is up and running on time and works smoothly will give the reassurance that many are looking for. danny shaw is listening to this and details are being unveiled this lunchtime. is this ambitions, this scheme? it's hugely ambitious. officials say they are going to have to process between 3.2 million and 3.8 million applications by eu nationals for settled status in the uk. this is something that has never been tried before on this scale. we do have a passport system that works well but of course that wasn't built up well but of course that wasn't built up from scratc

yet the eu's frustrated. hanging around for britain. in a week, we should know what they are waiting for. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, brussels. let's go to maryland in the us now — where police say the gunman who shot dead five people at the offices of a newspaper in annapolis was there to kill as many people as he could. the attacker has been identified as jarrod ramos. he surrendered to police and on friday appeared in court, charged with five counts of murder. he's understood to have had a long—running feud with the publication. the chief of police, timothy altomare, said he wouldn't say the attackers name as he gave this update on the case. this was a targeted attack, we can't fathom why that person chose to do this. we don't think we have any more clear and present dangers to the citizens of this county, that person has had a history with the police department. in may of 13, we did have a situation where online threatening comments were made. we had a detective assigned to investigate it, the detective spoke with legal counsel

is the eu car industry harmful to the u.s. economy or he is -- or is he just hitting the eu where it hurts? >> if you look it cars getting imported through the united states, the european union is a distant force far behind countries like mexico, for example, or also canada. a good 7% of exported cars into the united states come from europe. this is by far not the biggest number but it certainly would hit europe where it hurts most. if you look at the car market, the global car market, the u.s. behind china has the biggest, second-biggest car market in the world. it is quite important as an area for the european companies to be in, so it would hit europe where it hurts and it would not have such a huge impact on u.s. car markets overall. >> perhaps he is driving the eu crazy and less in the driving seat. thank you. britain will do much better economically outside of the eu. that is what brexit proponents claim when two years to the day since the country voted to leave. uncertainty reigns. it is too much for many multinational

, we need a clean breakfrom the eu, we need a clean breakfrom the eu, we need to take advantage of the opportunities. squaring the circle is incredibly difficult so every cautious steps has got to be negotiated and it is difficult to see how ultimately she is going to come up with a compromise. but i think the remainers feel that this will be a big concession because ultimately they did not like the idea of no deal, crashing out but no deal, that she comes to parliament and says i did this deal which is maybe not very good or no deal. he did not like that option. if the confessions go ahead then that will mean that cannot happen. and the votes tomorrow on a customs union and on membership of the european economic area. how do you think that will go question marks the european economic area, they will not win that the question will be how many labour mps rebel against their leaderjeremy corbyn. labour mps rebel against their leaderjeremy corbyn. the labour leadership things that would be the worst of all wells, the so—called norway option, you pay your money, except immigration and fr

only a tiny number went to ports outside the eu, and roughly 85% of ireland‘s total eu freight trade goes to british ports — in this case more than 475,000 containers were exported to the uk. and we can break that number down a bit further. the irish freight transport association estimates that the final destination of roughly 60% of those freight containers is britain. but about 40% — perhaps 190,000 per year ? are destined for elsewhere in the eu, transiting across britain via ports like dover or hull or the channel tunnel. what does all that mean? well, any kind of breakdown or problem posed by the failure to reach a brexit agreement would have a huge impact, notjust on ireland‘s trade with the uk, but also on ireland‘s trade with the rest of the eu. and don‘t forget we‘re just looking here at irish exports. ireland is equally dependent on the uk for its imports. so could ireland cut out the british land bridge and trade more directly with the rest of the eu? well, one luxembourg based shipping company has just introduced two huge new roll—on roll—off freight ferri

eu leaders agreed to set up secure processing centres inside and outside the eu. they also agreed to strengthen controls on borders and provide more money for turkey and countries across north africa to help stop the flow of migrants. our europe editor katya adler is at the summit and she said that despite marathon talks, not everyone is happy about the deal. in the end you can say that what leaders agreed on migration they pretty much failed on two big fronts. trying to prevent poor migrants entering europe illegally and trying to stop migrants dying at sea, as and trying to stop migrants dying at sea , as we and trying to stop migrants dying at sea, as we saw today on the coast of libya. the idea behind the processing centres is to put economic migrants off even trying to come to europe once they realise only those with the legal right to asylu m only those with the legal right to asylum or refugee status can stay. in the summit conclusions we heard that those centres will be voluntary in and outside the eu so we don't know where or when or even if they will be

that is the same mrs from the eu. most eu leaders say they do want an agreement with the uk but it's down to theresa may to come up with what she wants life after brexit to look like. as you've heard throughout yesterday and today from eu leaders across the board the messages case, the pace has to be stepped up if they are going to reach some sort of agreement by october. one of the firefighters called to grenfell tower has described trying to put out the flames but finding that he couldn't. as the public inquiry into the tragey continues today, daniel brown told the hearing that water simply bounced off the building. 0ur correspondent tom burridge is at the inquiry now. it has been really tough to listen to this testimony from the firefighters all week and they have found the experience incredibly trying as well. some of them but daniel brown was quite clear on what happened this morning and he was interesting to listen to because he was one of the first firefighters inside flat 16. they managed to put the fire out b

to the eu otherwise it will damage oui’ economy. possible to the eu otherwise it will damage our economy. 0thers possible to the eu otherwise it will damage our economy. others like the foreign secretary say that would be brexit in name only and that is not what we want, we want a proper break. 0ver what we want, we want a proper break. over the next weeks and months that debate will become very focused and, up till now, the prime minister will have to make a decision to go one way or the other. a decision it is hard to see everybody in government living with. ultimately there is a real danger and one of the problems is the cabinet is divided down the middle and theresa may has proven to be a prime minister that does not like to alienate anyone but at this stage there is a choice to be made. someone will be unhappy. and in terms of alienating bee book if public opinion has not changed very much, that would suggest that politically and electorally she damages is less if she alienates the remainers —— alienating people. damages is less if she alienates the remainers -- alienating peopl

after brexit we will not have access to the eu criminal records. some have criminal records and will be required to declare, but they could say they do not. there is the question of british expats in spain and elsewhere and what rights will they get? sajid javid has concerns about that. we were talking to one of the campaign groups and they say they do not feel the british government has pushed hard enough on this issue in the negotiations. it is part of the offer to russell is. exactly. —— is part of the offer to russell is. exactly. — — brussels. is part of the offer to russell is. exactly. —— brussels. they are saying where is your plan? front page. it almost seems aggressive from the daily mail. the insinuation is look at all these people. a month ago the mail was campaigning for the windrush generation, saying other people who live here should not be sent home. it is the same story. most of these people lived here a long time and worked hard and consider themselves british citizens. on the right, one of the favourite sons of dudley

he said the eu's position seemed to be shooting itself in the footjust eu's position seemed to be shooting itself in the foot just to eu's position seemed to be shooting itself in the footjust to prove the gun works. so clearly, things between the two negotiating sides do not look friendly. and we should note that this all comes ahead of a crucial summit later this month, when the eu 27 leaders plus theresa may will get together. i cannot underestimate how much pressure there is to get some sort of progress in those talks. the timetable is extremely tight. to that end, we hear that there will be back stock proposals, as we have already started calling them. you had better explain what that is —— backstop proposals. the backstop plan will be published tomorrow. it has already been circulated to data key ministers, and the bbc has found out some of what is in that paper. this is a plan that would only come into play if no other agreed position could be negotiated with the eu. the government says it doesn't intend for this backstop to come into play. it doesn't want it to and doesn't inte

the college takes part in an eu exchange scheme. after brexit, the uk will have to negotiate access to it. i probably wouldn't have been confident to go to another country by myself. it's changed my outlook on things. you know, that maybe i could do something like that. it's given me that confidence to think about these things. the opportunities should definitely stay for these young adults, because it could change their lives forever. a couple of miles away is east marsh. charlie is on zero hours at a fish factory. sophie wants to start a carpet cleaning business. local people live alongside eastern europeans. word on the street is they're on, like, £3 an hour, and they work seven days a week, and the carwashes are open until7:00pm, 8:00pm, even on a sunday. it's not because they're bad people. i think it's because they don't get the money they should. so what will change for them with brexit? some of them could be changes for the better. but then some of them could make things worse than what they already are. forjake, the future

yet the eu's frustrated. hanging around for britain. in a week, we should know what they are waiting for. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, brussels. as we heard there, a deal was reached in the early hours of this morning at the eu summit on how to manage the issue of migrants. it comes as around 100 migrants are missing after a boat sank off the coast of libya just today. during marathon talks overnight, eu leaders agreed to set up secure centres inside and outside european union countries on a voluntary basis, to identify migrants who do not have a right to be in the eu, and return them to where they came from. also agreed were new efforts to strengthen controls on the borders of the eu, and more money for turkey and countries across north africa to help stop the flow of migrants. our europe editor katya adler is in brussels for us. this has been a very difficult negotiation within the eu. it's not entirely clear they've reached a solution they are all happy with. no, i can tell you they are not all happy, nor have they suddenly magically

on the eu side. it boils down to that. michel barnier wants to talk about precise issues faced by northern ireland after brexit. he doesn't want to be talking about some huge customs deal between the uk and the eu that should really be discussed in the later part of the brexit talks when it is about a future economic relationship after brexit. that's kind of the easiest way i can explain it. very well done adam. ijust way i can explain it. very well done adam. i just want to show the viewers the tweet from michel barnier after his press conference. users, to avoid any confusion between the eu backstop and uk customs paper, i reiterate that our backstop cannot apply to the whole of the uk. this is not a rejection of the uk. this is not a rejection of the uk customs paper on which discussions continue. is that last line kind of crucial because at first it did sound a bit like rejection but now he's saying that it didn't. he says now he's got lots of questions about this paper. yesterday some people pre

more immigration is coming to the uk from non—eu countries than eu countries did so u nless countries than eu countries did so unless iain duncan smith is advocating dropping this commitment to reducing immigration to the tens of thousands, he is misleading people. you a co-chair of the all party parliamentary committee on europe. you want a referendum on any brea ks europe. you want a referendum on any breaks a deal —— brexit deal that may emerge. what will the question on the ballot paper be? the reason for having a people's vote on the brexit deal is because with every week that passes, new fat to emerge. the viewers who may have been watching the impact of brexit on the good friday agreement in northern ireland will be scratching their heads and wondering what that has to do with brexit. all manner of things has turned out to be impacted by it that we did not know for. my own preference, and the campaign of which i am part of, as stipulated that question. it needs to be a yes 01’ no that question. it needs to be a yes or no question? of course. i suggest it would be leave wi

keep the uk locked into the eu system. so, the second proposal is for a highly streamlined customs arrangement. it is no secret that the future of the irish border between northern ireland and the republic is proving to be a massive challenge in the brexit negotiations and that talk of no deal is making a lot of people nervous. it is notjust in the uk that this really matters, because the republic of ireland is hugely dependent on trade with the united kingdom for its economic well—being. you only need to look at a map to understand why. well, chris morrisjoins me now. welcome to newswatch. there is a lot of talk about deadlines and crunch points, but danny dyer seemed to speak for many on good evening britain when he said brexit is a mad riddle, no one knows what it is. as the correspondent tasked with explaining it all to us, is it frustrating for you? it can be. i thought "mad riddle" was a brilliant phrase for a 24—hour brexit channel, because then i would never get to lie down, anywhere. it can be frustrating, but

theresa may, who is in brussels for the latest eu summit, has said both the uk and the eu want to work towards a brexit deal at a faster pace. she has been briefing eu leaders over dinner on the progress of talks. but for the other 27 members, their main focus is not brexit but migration, with germany's leader warning it could be a make—or—break issue for the eu. our political editor laura kuenssberg reports from brussels. everyone is talking, but is anyone really listening? it is the eighth time theresa may has had to walk this summit red—carpet. with the cabinet at home still at odds over how life should be outside the eu, the prime minister arrives knowing very well she has to move faster. both sides are keen to continue that work, at a faster pace than we have done up till now, and certainly we would welcome that. can you really say it is going well when two years on and you have european leaders saying britain needs to get its act together? at every stage, last december and in march, we have come to agreements with the european union on issues which we had discussed and agre

that it is good news for the eu. i will look forward to working with the new government, and to working with my new counterpart in italy. i think we have a lot of things to do and i look forward to working with him. >> do you know the new finance minister? >> i do not know him. but i look forward to knowing him and i hope that i will have the opportunity to meet my new italian counterpart in a few days. >> does this bring the danger of italy moving out of the eurozone higher or lower? >> i cannot imagine italy going out of the eurozone. challenges that we will have to face, all the member states of the eurozone, we have to remain united. we have to take into account the concern of the italian population and understand the results of the vote in italy. the key question is to remain united. the 19 member states of the eurozone have to reinforce the eurozone's of the eurozone will be more able to face financial crisis or difficulties. that is the key challenge. we will count on the support of the italian government. >>

i think he means this idea that the eu might set up centres in the eu to process a rifle. —— arrivals. we'll bring you reaction from across europe. plus: why current and former members of the mormon church are calling for an end to the practice of asking children as young as eight intimate and sexual questions during annual interviews by church officials. hello. welcome to the programme. we're live until ”am this morning. as always, we're keen to hear from you throughout the programme on any of our stories. a little later, we'll be talking about cash machines. new figures show they've been closing at the rate of 300 every month, and now there's a row about a cut in the fee operators like small shops get from operating the machines in their stores. are you one of those who think cash is dead and don't bother with cash machines, or are you worried that without cash machines, small corner shops could suffer? cash or card? let me know. to get in touch on that and all the stories we're talking about this morning, use the hashtag victoria live. and if you text, you will be charged at the

and eu is not in place. we said last week it is always been the case that we believe that the best way to address the issue of the border northern ireland the relationship between the u.k. and eu. >> when the flight was destroyed over the ukraine from a russian missile, and the west is still trying to refute russia's denial of responsibility, can the prime minister tell us about the rapid response mechanism will help us better challenge russian misinformation with much faster truth? >> well, my right honorable friend raises a very important point and the point of the rapid response mechanism is that it will be able to do this in two ways. first of all, one of the key things is to have faster attribution when these events happen and of course it is only relatively recently that we have seen a final attribution in relati to the russian role in mh-17. being able to work together to achieve that faster attribution when incidents happen and then being able to work together to -- and that is the crucial point abou
