The summit that could change Britain's relationship with the EU - | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
I think it's much more important to get this right than to do | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
anything in a rush, but with good will and hard work, | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
we can get a better deal for Britain. | :00:22. | :00:23. | |

there are instances where you say, man, I will call you tomorrow and we | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
will have lunch. And it never happens, and it is all gone. | :01:04. | :01:17. | |
A very warm welcome to you. David Cameron says he is battling Britain | :01:18. | :01:26. | |
as he tries to negotiate a new deal for Britain's relationship with EU. | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
The Prime Minister has spent the day meeting other EU leaders at a summit | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
in Brussels, where he said with hard work, he could win a better deal for | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
Britain. The president of the European Commission said that he was | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
confident that a deal could be reached, but with big disagreement | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
is looming over access to welfare and other issues, let's cross live | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
now to our correspondent in Brussels. Good evening and welcome | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
to Brussels. Somewhere in this building, there are 28 leaders now | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
poring over a draft document that has been put before them by the | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
European Council leader. It is the three baskets of reform David | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
Cameron is looking for. The press room is alive with speculation. In | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
the last hour or so, we have had some idea of what is happening in | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
the room. It was David Cameron who made the opening marks. He has been | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
telling European colleagues that we have already come a long way with | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
this renegotiation. They have solved many differences, but is about time, | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
she said that Britain's place in Europe was to find once and for. He | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
said Britain's position has been allowed to fester. He said this was | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
the chance to settle it for the next generation. He also made the point | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
that although he is trying to get some clearer language on the union, | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
he is not opposed to other countries seeking that political integration, | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
further economic integration. It is just that Britain, he says, once a | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
different model and those who want that should be allowed to. Really, | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
it is a message of live and let live. There are great differences at | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
the moment in the text, still some square brackets on the important | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
issues, such as child benefit in particular. Some real concerns among | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
Eastern European countries. Also concerns from the French about what | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
sort of mechanism Britain would have to protect itself from the decisions | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
at the 19 countries of the Eurozone are taking. Remember that Britain | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
stands outside the euro zone. An awful lot to discuss. David Cameron | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
told reporters earlier he brought plenty of shirts. He expects the | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
negotiations to go along into the night and possibly into tomorrow. | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
But when he finally emerges, he hopes to have a document that will | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
allow him to fire the gun on the referendum campaign. | :03:51. | :03:51. | |
The Prime Minister wants 27 other politicians to agree to his terms. | :03:52. | :04:04. | |
We've got some important work to do today and tomorrow and it's | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
If we can get a good deal, I'll take that deal, | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
but I will not take a deal that doesn't meet what we need. | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
I think it's much more important to get this right than to do | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
But with good will, with hard work, we can get a better | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
Mrs Merkel wants to help make it happen now. | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
TRANSLATION: I'll do everything to keep the UK. | :04:30. | :04:37. | |
Agreement is possible, but no country has the right | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
Those dramas could derail the process, or it least drag | :04:41. | :04:54. | |
The Prime Minister wants to change the EU rules, | :04:55. | :05:04. | |
new regulations to protect the city, before giving you the choice to vote | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
But can the Prime Minister bring everyone together? | :05:10. | :05:24. | |
Inside the gathered ranks, there is still disagreement on how | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
long the UK should be able to limit benefits, | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
and whether it is fair for any new rule to apply only to us. | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
But across town, his opponents accuse him of making all this fuss | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
Well, he's brought an internal Conservative Party dispute | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
to international proportions, so he is running around Europe | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
trying to get people's support here and they are not very keen | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
They may well end up with some kind of agreement, | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
which he will represent as a victory. | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
And anger over the proposed deal goes way beyond these brave souls | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
There are plenty of Eurosceptics, MPs and ministers among | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
Conservatives, and politicians ready to attack. | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
and free trade, but we can't have that as members | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
But tonight, Number 10 is adamant this whole project can | :06:18. | :06:29. | |
and will deliver a new and improved EU. | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
Their negotiators believe this is the moment. | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
There are so many countries, so many complications involved, | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
This is the best chance David Cameron has of getting | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
a new deal for the UK with the rest of the Union. | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
but there is no guarantee the terms would get any better, | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
so his political future could be determined tonight. | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
Brave or foolhardy, this journey has seen the Prime Minister striking out | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
Who he can take with him in the next few hours will shape | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, Brussels. | :07:08. | :07:18. | |
On nights like this, it is worth reminding people of the structure of | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
the EU and how decisions are taken. The European leaders who are sitting | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
upstairs for the European Council. The council is the highest level of | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
political cooperation within Europe. They set the direction of travel and | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
once they reach agreement, and it must have agreement of all 28 | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
countries, then it is up to the executive of the European Commission | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
to come out with some legislation, to propose legislation, and then the | :07:46. | :07:53. | |
European Parliament will debate and put that legislation into action. Mr | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
Cameron needs not only the support of the 28, he needs the support of | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
the commission and he also needs the support of the European Parliament. | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
On Tuesday he was here lobbying the president of the parliament. Let's | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
listen to what he had to say. I do not belong to those who urged | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom to call for the referendum, | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
that is for sure. But the question is served, the referendum is fixed. | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
If this is a good idea or a bad idea, it is not what we have to | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
discuss about. I will do the utmost to convince citizens in the UK to | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
vote to stay in, because I believe that we need each other. The United | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
Kingdom and the European Union. We are stronger with the United | :08:42. | :08:48. | |
Kingdom. Well, in Laura's package, you heard the thoughts of Nigel | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
Farage. I spoke to him today and he is quite scathing about what is in | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
this document. It is not what the paper it is written on, he says, | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
because the underlying it will be the parliament that un-pics at all. | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
And that is shared by Ukip's sole MP. He has been talking to BBC about | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
his disdain the document. Some sort of deal has been done, but it is not | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
really a great deal, because we haven't asked for much. Take a step | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
back. At the time of the Bloomberg speech, David Cameron said he would | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
seek out fundamental, fire reaching reform. He clearly has not. Not even | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
supporters pretend this amounts to much. He promised us he was going to | :09:30. | :09:36. | |
seek treaty change. He has not. He promised he would return powers back | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
from Brussels. Not a single power is being transferred. Clearly, a deal | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
has been done, but it is pretty thin gruel, you might say. I don't think | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
this is really going to impress many voters in the run-up to the | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
referendum. We are starting to see some very encouraging movement in | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
the polls, the momentum is with the Leave campaign. Yes, we can do this. | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
There is a growing realisation that we do not need to be in a political | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
union in order to trade with Europe. Europe faces enormous economic, | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
technological challenges. The safer thing to do is if we take back | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
control and I think people are beginning to realise that actually, | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
David Cameron's EU deal does not add up and we will be better off if we | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
took back control and didn't have to send ?350 million to Brussels every | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
week. Look at what David Cameron is negotiating and compare it with what | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
he said at the outset. He claimed he would get treaty change. There is no | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
treaty change. He claimed there would be a transfer power back from | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
Brussels but not a single power has been transferred back. Again and | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
again, David Cameron has watered down his demands and even the | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
mediocre and Mikey is asking for it doesn't really add up much. There is | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
no fundamental, fire reaching reform. People are waking up to that | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
and I think people realise that we can leave the EU and trade freely | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
with the European Union. If we do that, we will get the best of all | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
worlds. Douglas Carswell, the Ukip MP setting out some of the thoughts | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
of the Leave campaign. Also setting out some of the challenges that | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
David Cameron will face when he returns to Britain with this | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
document. You get the impression talking to people in the UK that he | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
cannot afford to water down any more at the document as it stands. He is | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
going to fight for everything that they have in the draft text. We have | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
had some briefings from different camps in the last few minutes. It | :11:37. | :11:44. | |
tends to happen that certain members of negotiating teams come out to | :11:45. | :11:46. | |
brief journalists. One German diplomat was talking about the | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
agenda and how long they might go into the night. He said I hope the | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
Getty Gilberts that satisfies Mr Cameron, but I cannot bet we get it | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
today. We're not 100% happy with everything in the text, but overall | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
we can find agreement. He went on to say that it is other countries that | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
have bigger problems, the likes of Poland and Romania. We're talking | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
about work benefits and the challenges of child benefit that Mr | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
Cameron wants to index to the countries that the families and | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
children live in. Let's try to understand a bit of | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
that vertical context in Europe's major capitals as David Cameron | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
tries to persuade his European counterparts. Any moment we will | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
hear from our corresponded in Berlin and one in Budapest, but first, here | :12:32. | :12:39. | |
is our correspondent in Paris. Here in Paris, the real concern is | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
in the -- isn't benefits for migrants, but rather, protecting the | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
euro. David Cameron wants to ensure the euro zone countries cannot gang | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
up on the UK, but the French president is concerned this would | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
mean giving the City of London and on the advantage. France is still | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
struggling with high unemployment and the president will be seeking a | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
real election next year. He certainly does not want to come home | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
looking like a loser. He has got to be seen to be sticking up for French | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
interests. The French are particularly opposed to the idea of | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
an a la carte Europe. We do not like cherry picking. One minister | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
famously said you cannot come to a football game and expect to play | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
rugby. Ultimately, France wants Britain to remain in, just not at | :13:31. | :13:38. | |
all costs. Germany's position has not changed. | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
It wants Britain in the EU and right now Angela Merkel is arguably David | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
Cameron's greatest ally. She has voiced support for some of his | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
ideas. She has said in the run-up to the summit that national | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
parliaments, not Brussels, should be responsible for protecting those | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
systems against abuses. She has also spoken about ever closer union, | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
saying that whilst nothing should stand in its way, individual member | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
states should also not be obliged to follow that level of integration | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
every step of the way. So broad support from Germany. Worth | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
remembering Mrs Merkel's red lines. She will not budge on them. That | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
includes non-discrimination against EU citizens. As far as Mrs Merkel is | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
concerned, they are non-negotiable, so interesting to see how much | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
Germany is prepared to concede. Also remember there is a degree of every | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
patient at public and political level here in Germany that David | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
Cameron is choosing to raise this at a time when the refugee crisis is | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
threatening to tear Europe apart. In the words | :14:47. | :14:48. | |
threatening to tear Europe apart. In broadcaster, David Cameron is | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
playing a dangerous poker game. Here in Hungary and the other | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
central European countries, known together as the Visscher grabbed | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
four, the main concern is to ensure its citizens have equal rights in | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
Britain and elsewhere in the union. What that seems to mean in practice | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
is that they might be willing to accept curbs on benefits for | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
Hungarian, polls, Czechs and Slovaks working in Britain provided these | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
are only applied to new arrivals, not the hundreds of thousands | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
already there. And that these restrictions are phased out | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
gradually as workers contribute to the national economy, they should | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
also be able to claim benefits, they argue. The Government is also what | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
guarantees that citizens of non-EU countries do not suddenly have more | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
rights than they do on the British job market. Other British demands, | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
especially for stronger powers, for a national parliament and safeguards | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
against what some see as the groin powers of Brussels dovetail neatly | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
with their own policies. -- growing powers of Brussels. At last, | :15:54. | :16:02. | |
everyone has to take them seriously. Nick Thorpe in Budapest. You do get | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
the impression it is those for, namely Poland, the Czech Republic, | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
Slovakia and Hungary that might pose David Cameron the biggest problem. | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
Let's bring in our political corresponded. We started to get a | :16:19. | :16:27. | |
feel for how it is going. What are you hearing's so far the tone from | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
the EU leaders has been fairly positive. They were saying look, I | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
think we will get agreement here. It might require compromise, but we | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
want the UK to stay within the EU. We are hearing via Twitter people | :16:42. | :16:42. | |
are saying it was a constructive We are hearing via Twitter people | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
session. David Cameron was setting out where he sucks renegotiation was | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
session. David Cameron was setting at. He was effectively trying | :16:51. | :16:52. | |
session. David Cameron was setting persuade them he needs a credible | :16:53. | :16:52. | |
deal to take back persuade them he needs a credible | :16:53. | :16:59. | |
voters. We are not hearing if those political differences | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
voters. We are not hearing if those countries which have a particular | :17:04. | :17:05. | |
beef about a particular issue, for example, Poland and Hungary on | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
payments to migrant workers. We have got this tract | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
payments to migrant workers. We have which is where the officials are | :17:15. | :17:15. | |
trying to hammer out some legal details while the leaders | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
resolve some of the political detail. That'll go round the table | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
again tomorrow Mike with the hope of getting some deal, but what we are | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
hearing so far is that we are not at that stage yet. Armies of lawyers in | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
this building. I was making Albany remarks about David Cameron's speech | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
to the summit where he said Britain has to have a codified place within | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
Europe. It has to be put down in text what Britain is to Europe. I | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
think those in the remaining camp in Britain might have some sympathy | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
with that. What you have got at the moment is a situation where Britain | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
does already have a specific relationship with the European Union | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
which differs to some other member states, with its own particular | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
exemptions. There is a recognition that Britain's approach has been | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
different over a long period of time. This is not new. The problem | :18:08. | :18:15. | |
the David Cameron is that while people have sympathy with that | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
notion and want Britain to remain in the EU, but under its own terms, the | :18:19. | :18:20. | |
problem is there are plenty around the EU table who think why should | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
Britain have its own special deal? The president of the European | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
Parliament said earlier on that what is it about Britain that makes it | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
special? The point Mr Cameron makes is that shouldn't just be one size | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
fits all in Europe. There is a recognition across the EU that it is | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
moving into different directions. There are countries which want to | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
progress towards a deeper political and economic union. What's David | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
Cameron is trying to secure is some sort of guarantee that the UK will | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
not be sucked further into that. The problem is how do you do that | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
without leading to some sort of contagion, other countries wanting | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
their own parameters. That is the fear of some readers. Not just | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
specific demands from other member states, but that this could perhaps | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
lead to another referendum across the EU. This is a union facing big | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
difficult complex issues on the economy, the migration crisis and | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
the message from the readers is that this is a tapered unity, not | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
division. David Cameron is trying to get this deal to satisfy the | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
sceptics back home, the British public and his own cabinet. We might | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
be in for a long night. I think that is guaranteed. Thank you very much. | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
The first session has broken up. Now they go into some of those issues | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
over dinner, particularly the migrant crisis. It does Aberdeen to | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
Britain because there is concern here about the flow of migrants to | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
Europe. It does pertain to Britain. The Greek Prime Minister in | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
particular feels the same way. We will bring you news on thoughts on | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
that thread the evening. And of course the important bits on the EU | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
reform package as well. For the moment, I will hand you back to | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
London. Sounds like a long night in store. Christian Fraser Forest live | :20:10. | :20:10. | |

Donald Trump's comments Presidential hopeful Mr Trump has | :20:13. | :20:14. | |
said that he would like to build a wall along the US border | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
with Mexico to keep migrants out. But the Pope said comments | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
like that are un-Christian. In response, Donald Trump has called | :20:24. | :20:25. | |
the remarks "disgraceful". Our North America Editor | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
Jon Sopel reports. The Pope went deliberately | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
to the US - Mexican border, where Donald Trump | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
wants to build his wall, not to make a political | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
point but moral one. On his flight back to Rome, | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
when asked about the billionaire property developer, he couldn't | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
resist and waded straight TRANSLATION: A person who thinks | :20:48. | :20:49. | |
about building walls wherever they may be and not | :20:50. | :21:00. | |
of building bridges, As far as what you said | :21:01. | :21:02. | |
about whether I would advise the boat or not vote, | :21:03. | :21:10. | |
I am not going to get I say only that this man is not | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
Christian if he had said We're going to build | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
a wall, believe me. In this race for the White House, | :21:18. | :21:26. | |
the one thing we have learned about Donald Trump is he doesn't do | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
turning the other cheek, ever. He has bullied opponents, | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
lashed out at critics, But taking on the leader | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
of the Roman Catholic Church? Well, that might be | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
something different. At a rally in a short | :21:43. | :21:49. | |
time ago, Mr Trump professed to feeling surprised | :21:50. | :21:51. | |
about the Pope's comments, If and when the Vatican | :21:52. | :21:53. | |
is attacked by Isis, which as everyone knows | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
is Isis's ultimate trophy, I can promise you | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
that the Pope would have only wished and prayed that | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
Donald Trump would have been It's true. | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
It's true. Donald Trump has sought to play | :22:07. | :22:14. | |
up his Christian faith in a bid to win over | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
the key constituency Having the Pope call that | :22:18. | :22:19. | |
into question is hardly helpful. My mother gave me | :22:20. | :22:25. | |

defied political gravity. What makes others crash | :22:28. | :22:34. | |
to the ground has often just led Their interstellar careers | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
were linked decades ago, but for William Shatner | :22:38. | :22:51. | |
and Leonard Nimoy, that was only The actors who played Captain Kirk | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
and Mr Spock on Star Trek went on to become lifelong friends, | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
even if there were a few bumps In his new book, Leonard: My 50-Year | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
Friendship With A Remarkable Man, Mr Shatner recounts the off-camera | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
details of their relationship.. The BBC met him in | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
New York to learn more. In exploring this book, | :23:10. | :23:18. | |
I learned more about Leonard... Perhaps not more, but a great | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
deal about him that His vast and historical | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
interest in photography, the things he wrote, | :23:26. | :23:35. | |
some of the movies he was in, plays that he did and | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
musicals he was in. I didn't know that he | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
sang in a musical. We were both made fun of in a way | :23:47. | :23:57. | |
by having our voices on some records - you know, actors | :23:58. | :24:04. | |
who thought they could sing. So we both laughed about that, | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
but he was doing it professionally Rivalry - I guess would be | :24:09. | :24:18. | |
a term that could be used. It's dramatic, but it was just | :24:19. | :24:25. | |
the push and shove of actors Had we known each other earlier, | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
I don't think that would have happened, but on that occasion, | :24:30. | :24:36. | |
as a young actor and very hungry, I'd like all those fans to take away | :24:37. | :24:43. | |
the knowledge of how wonderful a friendship I had with | :24:44. | :24:54. | |
Leonard Nimoy and how dear Friendship is very | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
difficult to have, to give, because what happens between actors | :24:58. | :25:05. | |
on a movie or television series or a play, the passions | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
of the venture bond them. When the venture is | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
over, you say goodbye. And there are instances | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
where you say, man, I'll call you tomorrow. | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
I'll call you for lunch. And it never happens. | :25:24. | :25:26. | |
It's all gone. And in the business we are in, | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
where you were roaming a lot, solid connections are difficult | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
to make, and I cherish the one But for now from me and the rest | :25:35. | :25:37. | |
of the team, goodbye. If you would like to get in touch, | :25:38. | :25:58. | |
we would love to hear from you. Bye-bye. | :25:59. | :26:09. | |
Good evening. We will have some big contrasts in the weather by the time | :26:10. | :26:10. |
