:09:36. > :09:43.we thought were unacceptable. Report after report,
:09:44. > :09:55.we got the same response. Nor did this, in a group called

:12:02. > :12:05.if he can secure the changes he is seeking on the terms
:12:06. > :12:08.of Britain's membership. But in a speech in Hamburg tonight,
:12:09. > :12:11.he said if he doesn't get the changes he wants -

:12:15. > :12:17.week's crucial summit of leaders at which he hopes
:12:18. > :12:21.to get a final deal. Our Europe editor Katya Adler
:12:22. > :12:34.is in Hamburg for us tonight - Sophie, this is an evening of
:12:35. > :12:39.symbolism. The Prime Minister ended his European shuttle diplomacy tour
:12:40. > :12:43.here in UK friendly Germany in this city, so Anglophile, that there is a
:12:44. > :12:48.saying that if it rains in London, the people in Hamburg open their
:12:49. > :12:53.umbrellas. But when it comes to the crunch of EU reform, David Cameron
:12:54. > :12:59.is aware. The German Chancellor is not the Independent powerhouse she
:13:00. > :13:03.is to be. A warning, my report contains flush the geography.
:13:04. > :13:12.How could the Prime Minister not be of good cheer tonight in Anglo file
:13:13. > :13:17.Hamburg, a safe port of call for his final speech on his EU reform plans
:13:18. > :13:23.before they are put to the vote at a summit in Brussels next week. Every
:13:24. > :13:28.EU leader has to give the nod there, or no deal will be served. Tonight,
:13:29. > :13:33.David Cameron tried to whet their appetite and tempt the British
:13:34. > :13:39.people with visions of a better, safer, richer EU, with the UK
:13:40. > :13:44.leading the way. When it comes to the question of Britain's place in
:13:45. > :13:49.Europe, I have always been confident that together we can secure the
:13:50. > :13:54.reforms that address Britain's concerns, and also work for Europe
:13:55. > :14:01.as a whole. David Cameron has spent months trailing across Europe with
:14:02. > :14:05.his sales pitch, was he convincing? The Prime Minister has a credibility
:14:06. > :14:09.problem, not here in Germany, but elsewhere in Europe. Countries
:14:10. > :14:14.question his sudden concern for their well-being inside the EU. In
:14:15. > :14:18.the past, he has dismissed, derided and even mocked EU debates. They
:14:19. > :14:23.feel no compunction to do him political favours now. The Prime
:14:24. > :14:28.Minister had hoped Chancellor Merkel could bulldoze EU peers into
:14:29. > :14:32.agreement over cutting migrant benefit and protecting the UK from
:14:33. > :14:38.eurozone rules. But although not unwilling, she is increasingly
:14:39. > :14:41.unable. Because of this. Domestic and international criticism over her
:14:42. > :14:47.handling of the Europe's migrant crisis. These families took to the
:14:48. > :14:53.streets of Hamburg hours before David Cameron arrived.
:14:54. > :14:57.TRANSLATION: Public opinion is turning against Angela Merkel. She
:14:58. > :15:02.does not have the situation under control. Germany is struggling to
:15:03. > :15:07.accommodate more than 1 million asylum seekers. Hamburg has run out
:15:08. > :15:13.of space. It is housing refugees in refurbished shipping container 's.
:15:14. > :15:16.Angela Merkel urgently needs help. She cannot afford to alienate
:15:17. > :15:22.European neighbours over the British question. She needs the other
:15:23. > :15:25.countries so much. If they say, we do not want this compromise with
:15:26. > :15:32.Britain, she will say, OK, we want to make it. So would Angela Merkel
:15:33. > :15:39.sacrifice Britain in the EU because of the pressure of the migration
:15:40. > :15:44.crisis? Yes, I think she will sacrifice Britain now, yes. But we
:15:45. > :15:47.are not there yet. Here at this Hamburg Rugby Club, German and
:15:48. > :15:53.British players told us everything should be done to keep the UK
:15:54. > :15:56.onside. But it is an uncomfortable playing field for David Cameron, in
:15:57. > :16:00.Europe and at home. And we are not even close to referendum day.
