Hello, I'm Ros Atkins with World News Today in Brussels -

where David Cameron is spending a working dinner, outlining his

plans for Britain's future relationship with Europe.

He's already been told that he can't expect to "cherry pick" a new deal -

and tomorrow he'll find himself excluded from summit discussions.

His possession was not helped by the tone in the European Parliament.

You all after me. I have to say, you are not laughing now, are you?

The other headlines : The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn loses a vote

of no confidence by a huge margin - but says he won't resign.

And - has the EU referendum led to an increase in the number

We'll discuss growing concern about the legacy

Welcome to the European Council in Brussels on a day where the

ramifications of the UK vote to leave the European Union continue to

evolve and expand. Let me run you through the developments. In London,

the Chancellor in charge of the UK economy said he anticipates tax

rises and spending cuts in the coming months. Also, the opposition

Labour Party is in complete disarray after its MPs voted through a

no-confidence motion in its leader. More in a minute. And then in

Brussels for the first time since the UK opted out of the EU, all 28

member nation leaders are in one place this building, to talk about

how the so-called Brexit is going to work. We begin our coverage of what

has happened with Laura Kuenssberg. David Cameron might have

wanted to slip in the back The Prime Minister made the same

grand arrival as ever, While we are leaving

the European Union, we must not be 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 He told us and them he wouldn't quit

if he lost, and would start No surprise that the president

of the commission didn't There is genuine upset

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

I felt as if someone very close 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 But nothing can happen until Britain

is ready to start, says Europe's Sometimes, these bunfights

are all about working out the body language,

trying to find out what is going on. 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. Mutual loathing in the European

Parliament today was pretty clear. When I came here 17 years ago,

and I said I wanted to lead a campaign to get Britain

to leave the European Union, Well, I have to say,

you're not laughing now, are you? There is not upset at the results,

but contempt for how After six years, David Cameron's job

is not to make the deal. From the look on their faces,

he has first to explain himself 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, But David Cameron is no longer here

to be the one who decides. Laura Kuenssberg,

BBC News, Brussels. You saw Nigel Farage, the Ukip

leader being a little bit cheeky with members of the European

Parliament. Later in a speech accused them of having never done a

hard days work in a life which did not go down well. One person who

pushed back hard was the former Belgian prime minister, a senior MEP

in the European Parliament. He said to mystify Rush, one good thing

about Brexit is the European Union will be paying his salary for much

longer. We spoke to him about the tone he struck with mystify rush.

We have watched you over the years, locking horns with Nigel Farage.

This morning you accused him of using Nazi propaganda and you're

He has gone and the UK has exited the European Union.

The main thing that I want to do is not to attack somebody.

The main thing I want to do is to reform.

This morning you were attacking him with vigour.

He said to the 700 people, members of the European Parliament,

you do nothing, you have never worked in your life and then

at the same time he says I am defending the poor man and he has

an offshore financial system put in place.

He looked for this attack from my side.

He was so rude with the whole house, with the whole Parliament.

When I watch you and Nigel Farage I'm thinking it is going to be

difficult for the UK and the European Union to stay

amicable while it goes through this process.

Fortunately I don't think Nigel Farage is really

Maybe Little Anglia but not Great Britain.

I'm joined by Alberto Nardelli from Buzzfeed UK, Europe Editor.

One of the huge journalists gathered. Have you spotted a

difference between a European perspective and the British one?

There has been some difference, when you talk to British officials, there

is talk about the possibility of maybe the European countries

offering the UK better membership terms, I asked that to one official

and he describes the idea as delusional. Is that Britain has

voted to leave and now it is about getting on with the exit

negotiations but beyond that it is about sending a signal to the other

EU member states that you cannot blackmail the countries and have a

referendum and get better terms. They reminded us of Greece, they

ended up with terms that were worse than they were offered before.

Everyone wants to get on exit process, but they cannot. Everybody

is waiting for the UK. They are and there seems to be some consensus now

that in September once a new pro-minister is in place, that is

when article 50 will be triggered. An extraordinary Council in

Bratislava where more formal talks will begin however what is unclear,

and I were asked too many people, what happens if the UK refuses to

trigger Article 50 and treat is nobody knows! Presumably the people

who voted to leave would ask the government why are you not

triggering it so it would be a big domestic story. A question about the

future of the European Union because I have been struck and spending last

week in the UK there is quite a lot of confidence about the European

Union future, the idea this vote will start a disintegration process

seems premature. That is a fundamental point in this debate. As

the German chancellor mentioned speaking to her Parliament in

Germany, it is a key point and when a 27 member states renegotiate with

Britain, the one thing they will have in mind is keeping the EU

together. That will be at the front of the mind of the other countries

and they will do everything they can to make sure the EU stays together.

It'll make the negotiation for the UK even harder. A couple of other

issues aside from Brexit, Nigel Farage was keen to point out this

vote by the UK was one of the European Union's problems and a

migrant crisis, the difficulties of the euro, they are greater

difficulties and Britain exiting. When will they get discussed because

Britain is dominating everything. There are two sides come on the one

hand you... Niger since the referendum but before you had months

and months of councils dominated by negotiations and changing Britain's

status in the Union and the parallel migration crisis and a crisis still

going on in Ukraine which people have forgotten about. All these

issues are happening in parallel and all of them in different ways are

pulling the strings of Europe, the migration crisis in Eastern Europe

has created a backlash against refugees, Hungary will be holding a

referendum on whether to take ref -- refugees. There are various

migration debates around the continent. One of the biggest

stories on Friday was the fact older people voted to leave and younger

people had not voted to leave. But as feed has younger readers who

follow news via your website. Do you think there is anger now towards the

British decision -- Buzzfeed. It is a generational divide. If we look at

the results, it is true most older people voted to leave the majority

of young people voted to remain however it is also true that 80 per

cent of all the people who voted and 40% of younger people voted so the

flip side of the story is older people vote, if younger people voted

in similar numbers, we may be talking about a different story. It

is also about getting that vote out and if you care about these issues,

they have to vote. Thank you for your time. I am looking over the

press pit of the European Council, there are several thousand

journalists here, they are not going anywhere because the leaders of the

European Union are meeting over dinner and we hope to hear from some

of them later. None of us are going anywhere but waiting for the

statements when they emerge. And the political fallout

after the referendum results shows no sign of easing for the main

opposition Labour Party MPs have overwhelmingly backed

a vote of no confidence in their leader Jeremy Corbyn

after widespread criticism of his performance

during the campaign. But Mr Corbyn is staying put -

he says he won't bow out, arguing to do so would be a betrayal

of all the party members Jeremy Corbyn is obviously

uncomfortable, a leader under siege, a Shadow Cabinet patched together

after mass resignations. Just look at his deputy,

Tom Watson, on the right. Everyone knows he is not truly

backing his leader, 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 must 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 Angela Eagle resigned yesterday

as Shadow Business Secretary. Now she is weighing up a leadership

challenge and is meeting Tom Watson Might reunite a party torn apart,

and as she told me yesterday, I feel I have served

in the best way I can, 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 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. Are party members like these

in Croydon beginning I ended up voting for him

in the leadership election because I felt we needed a change

and we needed to create a nicer But increasingly, I have become

disillusioned and is appointed So many people say the same thing,

that he is a lovely guy It is almost irresponsible for them

to advocate for a new leader 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 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. As the UK prepares for a slow and

painful diverse, the people of Turkey are wondering how that they

should with Europe will develop. The government in Istanbul has been

seeking to strengthen its case to join the EU but is that possibility

closer or further away now? Are Turkey Reporter reports. Proud,

patriotic and problematic. Turkey is the EU's neighbour it can't afford

to ignore. After becoming a candidate for membership in 2005,

relations between the sides largely frozen until the migrant crisis came

along and EU realised it needed Turkey more than ever and so earlier

this year EU and Turkish leaders struck a deal in Brussels, failed

asylum seekers would be deported from Greece and sent back to Turkey.

It cut the flow of migrants dramatically down from 10,000 a day

to barely 100. But Turkey negotiated something in return, to get rid of

these cues the lifting of these requirements for Turks travelling to

the Schengen zone. You're supposed to have that happen at the end of

the month but installed, the commission says Turkey has not met

the criteria. The EU wants Turkey to stop using anti-terrorism laws to

arrest journalists and critics. When the government took over in

opposition, newspaper claiming it was run by terrorists protests were

attacked. Turkey says it will not change the legislation and it faces

multiple terror threats. It has warned Brussels and less visas are

lifted, it could pull out of the migrant deal. And so it is that old

tricky relationship again, between Turkey and EU. And for this summit,

a dilemma, how to stop Europe's gatekeeper from jettisoning the

whole migrant deal whilst still not kowtowing to a controversial

president Burda one. It could be a bumpy ride.

Ikea is to recall 27 million Malm chests of drawers in North America

after the deaths of three children in the United States.

As shown on this demonstration video, the children were killed

selling its Malm series products because they "could be a danger".

Back to our main story now, the UK's vote to leave the European Union

and the disturbing reports that there have been

in the UK since the vote of an increase in racist attacks

on Eastern Europeans and other ethnic minorities.

A number of groups who monitor such incidents say there has been

an increase, and some are linking this to the charged debate around

immigration that featured during the referendum campaign.

With me now is Farah Elahi, who is a research and policy analyst

at the Runnymede Trust, a race equality think

Give us a sense, some perspective on this, is this a new phenomenon in?

No, it is not new, hate crime against minorities has been

long-standing but what we are seeing is a significant spike in incidence

since the referendum. Why is there a spike, can we link this to the Leave

campaign and the rhetoric we heard around immigration? The rhetoric we

saw coming out of the referendum across all parties has a role to

play in the spike under things legitimising mainstream but we can

also point to government interventions for a number of years

that have been creating this and stoking tensions from the government

and the media. Of course it is not in any way racist to worry about

levels of immigration. It is not racist to worry about levels of

immigration, it is how you express concerns and how you target

individuals that you might hold responsible. Should we be surprised,

we have had six years of austerities Britain, some cuts to benefits as

well, given the growing social divide in this country, should we be

so surprised we are seeing an increase and prejudice? It is not

about surprise, we should be concerned about the increasing

levels of prejudice and the way it is expressed. And in difficult

times, we are turning on our neighbours and those around us

rather than holding people in power to account. What can we do to change

it? Then needs a new narrative for Britain, one focused on unity, we

need stronger leadership that condemns these unacceptable acts and

we also need decisive action from the police and services to tackle

these crimes. I'm glad you brought up the response from police. I

wonder how their powers change in the future in which the UK is

outside of the EU, do they still have the powers they need to be able

to hold people accountable and to prosecute people who are found to

incite violence and race hate crime? At the moment they have all the

powers they had last week. They should be exercising those. We don't

know what will happen in terms of the Brexit and how things will

change. There are a number of UK legislations that give police

significant powers to prosecute hate crimes. In terms of the response, we

need strong leadership, the moment there seems to be a real absence of

leadership modest in the UK but also in Brussels, it is unclear as to who

will lead negotiations in Brussels. What do we need in the vacuum of

leadership that we have in the next few months can what can we do

ourselves as a people to prevent this? May be what we need to look

for is someone who can give a positive story for Britain and the

future of Britain and takes decisive stands on the issues. Thank you for

coming in and taking us through those issues. Today has been a

dramatic day in Brussels, before we go, let me show you some key moments

from the debate at the European Parliament.

I know virtually none of you have ever done a proper job in your

lives! Or worked... Or worked in business, or worked in trade or

indeed ever created a job. I am surprised you are here. You were

fighting for the exit. The British people voted in favour of the exit.

Why are you here? There are many things to be negotiated and we need

cool heads and warm hearts. But please remember this, Scotland did

not let you down, please I beg you, do not let Scotland down now. It is

the climate of fear that has been created, negative things, that is

the most shocking of what happened in Britain, not the choice of the

people because the choice of the people is democracy. MEPs like Diane

Dodds and marine Le Pen would say that we in the North of Ireland are

bound by a UK vote, we say we are not. And like the previous MEP, Miss

dismissed, we asked you to respect our vote. We stand by the vote of

the people of the North of Ireland just like Scotland which voted

remain. Emotions running high. That is it from us. Next, the weather.

Goodbye. Tuesday's weather went downhill
