Good evening from Brussels, where David Cameron has arrived

for talks with European leaders about the UK's decision

The Prime Minister said he hoped the discussions would be

constructive and that Britain would seek a close

But the German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Britain couldn't

"cherry-pick" the parts of the EU it wants, such as access

to the single market, and the Ukip leader Nigel Farage

was booed in a bitter and acrimonious session

He accused the EU of being in denial.

Our political Editor Laura Kuenssberg has our first report.

David Cameron might have wanted to slip in the back after his plan went

so wrong. The Prime Minister made the same grand arrival as ever, with

a lot of explaining to do. Well, we are leaving the European Union, we

must be turning our backs on Europe. These countries are our neighbours,

our friends, our allies, our partners, and I hope we will seek

the closest possible relationship in terms of trade and cooperation and

security, because that is good for us and that is good for them. That's

the spirit in which the discussions will be held today. He told us and

them he wouldn't quit if he lost, and would start the process of

leaving straightaway. He is doing the opposite. No surprise that the

president of the commission didn't want to stop and chat. There is

genuine upset and a desire to get on with it. The day after Brexit, I

felt as if someone very close to me had left our home. Brexit is not

only about procedures and politics and interest. It is also about our

emotions and fears. What do you have to say to the Prime Minister? I

think he has to say something to us, not us to him. We should wait until

the Conservative Party has solved its internal problems. The whole

continent cannot wait. But nothing can happen until Britain is ready to

start, says Europe's most powerful politician. Sometimes, these

bunfight is all about working out the body language, trying to find

out what is going on. It's crystal clear this time. Britain feels very

alone. Europe's leaders are sad and angry, almost in disbelief at what

has been decided, and in no mood to make the exit process easy. But so

many British voters felt the EU didn't listen. Nigel Farage wanted

to enjoy the warm embrace of schadenfreude, delighted at

Brussels' agony. Good morning. Good morning. Mutual loathing in the

European Parliament today was pretty clear. Funny, isn't it? When I came

here 17 years ago, and I said I wanted to lead a campaign to get

Britain to leave the European Union, you all laughed at me. Well, I have

to say, you're not laughing now, are you? There is not as upset at the

results, but contempt for how the referendum was won. TRANSLATION: You

lied. You didn't tell the truth. You fabricated reality. After six years

on the David Cameron's job is not to make the deal. From the look on

their faces, he has first to explain himself and our democratic decision.

This will probably be one for the album. It is likely to be his last

Brussels get-together. There is uncertainty about the Basic blocks

of our future relationship. Commiseration too alongside the deep

confusion, and hard work to do tonight. But David Cameron is no

longer here to be the one who decides. Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News,

Brussels. It has certainly been a day of drama

here, and the press room is packed with journalists. There was a heated

debate in the special session of European

parliament on the referendum result. Our Europe correspondent

Damian Grammaticas reports now on the reaction of MEPs

from across the European Union across town from where Europe's

leaders were meeting, a British winner in Brussels today.

Nigel Farage, preparing to savour his moment of triumph over the EU

and its institutions. But after staying silent throughout the

referendum, Europe's politicians held little back. The worst liars

can be found among Ukip. On Friday, Nigel Farage said publicly that the

promised ?350 million a week would finally not go to the National

Health Service. It had all been a lie. I ask Mr Farage, if you had

announce of decency in you, you would apologise today to the

British. Shame on you. Most here are of course believers in Europe's

project, shocked by the outcome, but also by the tone of Britain's

referendum debate. What makes it so hard for me, and I think also for

everybody here in this house, is the way it succeeded. The absolute

negative campaign, the posters of Mr Farage showing refugees like Nazi

propaganda. He replied with scorn of his own. I know that virtually none

of you have ever done a proper job in your lives. The chamber had to be

called to order. The reason you're so angry has been perfectly clear

from all the angry exchanges this morning. You, as a political

project, are in denial. You're in denial that your currency is

failing. That drew jeers, but then came this, an impassioned Scottish

plea to Europe. Colleagues, there are a lot of things to be

negotiated. We will need to head and warm hearts. But please, remember

this. Scotland did not let you down. Please, I beg you, do not let

Scotland down now. The ovation showed that that sentiment has

considerable sympathy here. For Nigel Farage, this is the

combination of a lifetime's political project to get the UK out

of the EU. What we heard from the European side was that they want

talks now to begin as soon as possible, and they say there will be

no favours, no cherry picking by Britain in those. Damian

Grammaticas, BBC News, Brussels. Our Political Editor

Laura Kuenssberg is here Laura, we saw David Cameron

arriving. He has been in meetings and he's about to go into a big

meeting with European leaders, his last summit here. What can he hope

for and what reaction will he get? He was the strange thing. For

decades, British prime ministers have been coming here and saying

they are standing up to Brussels and to get the best deal for the

country. Tonight, David Cameron is in a strange position because it

will not be him doing the next deal. It will not even be him setting the

priorities for the next deal. The first thing he will want to do is

explain what he thinks happened, and more importantly, try to clear the

air and a bad feeling about what happened, in order to prepare as

smooth a path for his successor as possible. It is a curious dynamic

between him and those European leaders who he spent years trying to

persuade to give us a better deal. Now he has had to come back and tell

them not just that he failed to persuade the rest of us that he had,

it will not even be him who is calling the shots next. Katya, we

have been listening to what European leaders have had to say as they have

arrived. What is your assessment of how frustrated they are by Britain's

delay in beginning the process of formal separation, invoking article

50? Well, they arrived looking calm, but the basic mood music is that the

UK voted out and the EU just wants to get on with it. It is through

gritted teeth that EU leaders have to accept that the ball is in

Britain's court. Under EU rules, it is the UK that has to formally

notified the EU that it wants to leave and only then can negotiations

start. Under EU speak, that is article 50. When that happens,

Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor, a very powerful woman in

the EU, has said today Britain will not be able to cherry pick is way to

a new deal. EU leaders do not want a future deal to be too attractive,

because they want to put other countries off leaving. And while we

are in this interim period, they say there will be no cosy chats, no

backroom informal talks about Britain's future outside the EU.

That is the only pressure they can exert right now. They want Britain

to start those formal negotiations as soon as is practically possible.

Thank you both on an extraordinary day here in Brussels.

The markets have been largely stable today,

with both the pound and the FTSE 100 both regaining some ground

Much more of course on Brexit and the ongoing reaction

to the referendum result on our website, including blogs

But for now, it's back to George in London.

The crisis in the Labour Party has deepened.

In the past couple of hours its leader, Jeremy Corbyn, has lost

A secret ballot of Labour MPs was held this afternoon

following the resignation of more than 50 of his most senior

But Mr Corbyn says he won't bow out, arguing that that would be

a betrayal of all the party members who voted for him last year.

Let's get the latest from our deputy political editor John Pienaar.

The vote of no-confidence was brutal in its verdict on Jeremy Corbyn, but

the result came as a surprise to no one. Here at Westminster, the

overwhelming majority of his colleagues want him out. In the last

few moments, they have been joined by Labour's leader in Scotland. So a

challenge now looks inevitable, and the only questions are, when can he

be beaten and crucially, who will run against him?

A bad idea, this photo. Jeremy Corbyn is obviously uncomfortable, a

leader under siege, a Shadow Cabinet patched together after Mass

resignations. What were his advisers thinking? Hard to blame him. Just

look at his deputy, Tom Watson, on the right. Everyone knows he is not

truly backing his leader, and may run for his job. But later, most of

his MPs were officially against him, leaving his team empty chairs and

unfilled vacancies waiting for the leadership challenge that will now

surely come. Jeremy Hayward to accept now that his leadership is

untenable. He is unable to fill shadow ministerial posts, he is

unable to fill the basic function of opposition, which is to hold the

government to account, and he has to do the decent thing and resign.

Angela Eagle resigned yesterday as Shadow Business Secretary. Now she

is weighing up a leadership challenge and is meeting Tom Watson

to discuss who might beat Mr Corbyn. Might reunite a party torn apart,

and as she told me yesterday, that is what hurts. I feel I have served

in the best way I can, and today I had to go. In the coming Labour

leadership contest, a challenger needs backing from 50 Labour MPs or

MEPs from the European Parliament. The contest's results will be

announced at the autumn conference or an emergency conference

beforehand. It is still unclear if Mr Corbyn would automatically get on

the ballot without needing nominations. Voting is by party

members, registered supporters who have paid ?3 each, and affiliated

union supporters. Our party members like these in Croydon beginning to

desert Jeremy Corbyn? I ended up voting for him in the leadership

election because I felt we needed a change and we needed to create a

nicer kind of Labour Party. But increasingly, I have become

disillusioned and is appointed with decisions he has made. So many

people say the same thing, that he is a lovely guy and he is different.

But he can't be a leader. It is almost irresponsible for them to

advocate for a new leader when he has the vote of the people. But Mr

Corbyn has strong support in the country. Young members turned up

today to urge rebels to back off. And among the loyal minority at

Westminster, there is defiance. I think a lot of people are very

concerned about the behaviour of some of my colleagues. This week, we

should have been exposing our hapless Prime Minister. Labour's

past appearance of unity was always something of a charade, but now the

fight is out in the open and whichever side wins, the wounds that

are about to be inflicted will be painful and deep.

Both sides are now aware of the extraordinary truth that the party

may simply never recover from the Civil War which is now unstoppable.

John, let's not forget there is a leadership contest in the

Conservative Party as well. Impossible to forget that, Britain's

relationship with Europe and the wider world is on hold until a new

leader for the Tory party is chosen and the membership of the Tory party

will not choose any leader, they will choose a new Prime Minister for

the country. So it is on fast forward. There will be a line-up of

potential runners by noon on Thursday and a new Prime Minister in

place by September nine. Responses and Theresa May of the obvious and

tremors but it could be a crowded field and the winner will chart a

new course into the future for Britain after that referendum

result, which is why there is so much speculation about the

possibility of an early general election.

Thank you. Our top story this evening:

David Cameron is in Brussels for the first time since Britain

voted to leave the EU. All smiles, but the tough

talking has begun. The match that guaranteed

a British win at Wimbledon. No prizes for guessing who came

out on top. Coming up on Wimbledon Sports Day,

going for grand slam 22, Serena Williams is one step

closer after beating Switzerland's Amra Sadikovic

in Roy Hodgson, who resigned

as the England football team's manager last night,

after their shock defeat to Iceland, says "emotions are too raw" for him

to talk about the game. The players have arrived back

in the UK this afternoon. Our Sports Editor,

Dan Roan, has more. Have you got a message for the fans,

right? It was a new low, defeated, deflated, humiliated. England left

Nice This Morning a national embarrassment, reeling from the most

infamous loss in their history. Hours later, the underachieving

millionaires returned to their luxury hotel in Chantilly for the

final time, out of Euro 2016, headphones on and with nothing to

say. Roy Hodgson who quit as manager in the immediate aftermath of the

defeat at Iceland reluctantly facing the media. I don't think I have got

anything to say to you that is any different to what you know already

all that you have written already, but I was not forced to come here, I

did so because I have never shirked a press conference and run away from

anybody. I have answered questions for four years. We are sorry we

could not give them the results that they were hoping for. At times

struggling to contain his emotions, his pain was obvious. One

particularly bad game has caused a lot of damage to me personally, to

the team and even to the team going forward. Because now they have got a

major bridge to repair which had we played better last night, may be we

would not have that. England's abject performance against rank

outsiders is to have lit up their first-ever major tournament, once

new depths. The 2-1 winners putting shambolic Ingrid to shame and

leaving them stunned. The worst England performance I have ever

seen. There was no fight, heart, passion. And the ability just was

not there, the ability to perform under pressure. The players could

not do it, we caved, the manager cave. This is why last night was

such a shock. England's population towards tiny Iceland's 330,000. Roy

Hodgson earned ten times more than his counterpart Heimir Hallgrimsson,

a part-time dentist. And while the Premier league is the world's

richest, the Icelandic top-flight has no fully professional teams.

Meanwhile, but each has emerged on social media of England's to beat

being wildly celebrated either Welsh squad who later said they were

merely excited for the underdogs. Wales now the only home nation left

up the Euros, so why do England always seem to fail when it matters

most? It is aimed national imperative that we become more

resilient in Tom Lawrence. That we punch our weight in tournaments in a

way that we have not been able to do -- in tournaments. Not for 50 years.

Until last night, this loss to the part-timers of the United States in

1950 was the benchmark for England at rock bottom. Two years ago, Roy

Hodgson was in charge when his team crashed out of the Brazil World Cup

in just five days. Now this chastened team has plumbed new

depths, limping home this evening after a defeat they will never live

down. The FA is looking for a foreign manager to be the successor

of Roy Hodgson. But after the desperate result rendered the

national team a laughing stock, there is a sense this goes way

beyond the choice of courage. Tournaments come and go, new players

will be introduced but still back familiar feeling of failure. There

will be questions of the FA, given the huge wealth and resources, the

issue of home-grown players and whether the coaching quality is good

enough, grassroots facilities, whether there needs to be a winter

break in the Premier league. Sadly cost -- sadly, England's they were

no longer comes as any surprise. An inquest into the death

of 14-year-old Alice Gross two years ago has heard that police didn't

check the criminal records of the Latvian man who's

believed to have killed her. Arnis Zalkalns, a convicted

murderer, was found hanged He'd been questioned

in 2009 about an allegation of indecent assault,

but wasn't charged. Scotland Yard said its

policy has now changed. The Queen has visited the famous

stones of the Giant's Causeway as part of her 90th birthday tour

of Northern Ireland's The visit marks Her Majesty's first

public engagements since the UK Our Ireland Correspondent,

Chris Buckler, has been gauging the mood amongst

Unionists and Nationalists. The Giant's Causeway might well be

some of the most spectacular land But her visit to Northern Ireland

comes at a time when there are questions about how

united her kingdom is. Just a matter of miles

further down this coast, it's possible to see Scotland,

where there are calls for another That has lead to uncertainty

for the entire UK and worries Even though many of them supported

waving goodbye to Europe. If Scotland want to be

independent, it is democratic It will not break up

what is left of the UK. But even that phrase,

what's left of the UK, I voted Leave, yes,

I know I voted Leave. I think maybe now it

was the wrong decision. Today, the Queen re-traced a train

journey she took immediately In the decades since then,

Northern Ireland has been through the violent

years of the Troubles. The relationship between Britain

and Ireland have emerged You only have to look at this

good-natured meeting between Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness

and the Queen to see how much But politically, these

are turbulent times. Northern Ireland as a whole voted

to remain inside the EU, like Scotland, and that vote

was particularly strong Sinn Fein is calling for some

way to keep this part Alternatively,

they want a referendum The people spoke

in Northern Ireland, The Republic is an EU country

itself, or part of the EU. I hope we do get it, I would love to

see it in my lifetime, this is a chance to get it. Such a referendum

could be generations away. But this monarchy is at the head of a country

undergoing huge change. Andy Murray returned

to Wimbledon Centre Court today. The bad news - he was facing

fellow Brit Liam Broady. Also in action was British Number

One Johanna Konta. From the All England Club,

Joe Wilson reports. Well, there is the flag

as clear as you'll get. But today, there was Britain on both

sides of the net. They may look similar, but that's

Liam Broady, the wild card. You can tell them apart

because Murray is right-handed Expending as little energy

as possible is the key Ranked 235 in the world, this

is a glimpse of what Liam Broady, Facing a British opponent

here was new for Murray, but he's never lost a first

round match at Wimbledon. Well, when you study

the order of play for today, there may be something that reminds

you of the past. For the first time since

the mid-1980s, there's a female British player who's

seeded at Wimbledon. Johanna Konta - 16th seed -

stormed to the first set against a strong opponent,

Monica Puig, making it 6-1. There's no roof on Court

Number One... The first outing of the covers for

the Wimbledon 2016 championships and I suspect they will get an outing

this week. We started straight in the East but the rain gathered in

pace and pushed East. It will clear liquid through this evening and

overnight. And it will leave a quiet night with a scattering of showers

to the West. Temperatures down in the low double digits so a fresh

start tomorrow. Dry with sunshine. Unfortunately, we will keep pressing

the repeat with the weather story. More wet and windy weather tomorrow

from the south-west. The heaviest rain across Wales and Northern

Ireland. Gradually pushing in Southern Scotland. For Northern

Ireland, and central and Northern Scotland, sunny spells and scattered

showers. Temperatures disappointing. Perhaps into the mid-teens at the

very best. As we move into the North of England. Around 12-13d under the

cloud and rain, across the Midlands and South Wales and south-west

England. For Wimbledon, it starts try with showery rain into the South

East corner so I suspect there will be interruptions. Some of it heavy

but hopefully easing off. Not looking great, I am afraid, tomorrow

afternoon for the outer courts. Centre Court does not matter now.

The frontal systems move away into Thursday and we keep the isobars

squeezing together because there is another system in the South and

West. More showery in nature so after a dry and bright and sunny

start, you guessed it, more rain. A cool bail into the far North and

West, 14-16d. -- a cool feel. The highest values likely of 90, 20. I

will dry and fine sunshine, I promise, this Summer!

Not bad for Thursday. That's all from the BBC News at Six,

so it's goodbye from me. And on BBC One, we now join

the BBC's news teams where you are.
