:00:08. > :00:09.for his EU reforms, ahead of tomorrow's crucial

:00:10. > :00:16.Despite the concerns of several EU states,

:00:17. > :00:19.the man who'll host the summit has told the BBC failure to cut a deal

:00:20. > :00:27.Are you confident you'll get a deal tomorrow?

:00:28. > :00:30.Today the Prime Minister's been trying to shore up support

:00:31. > :00:38.for his reforms, among influential members of his own party.

:01:38. > :01:47.The man hosting tomorrow's crucial summit in Brussels

:01:48. > :01:49.on David Cameron's renegotiation of the UK's relationship with the EU

:01:50. > :01:53.has told the BBC there's "no choice" but to do a deal on reform.

:01:54. > :01:55.The President of the European Council, Donald Tusk,

:01:56. > :01:58.says there's still no guarantee of a deal,

:01:59. > :02:01.but failure to reach a compromise would be a defeat both for the UK

:02:02. > :02:03.and the European Union, and a victory, he says,

:02:04. > :02:08.Germany's Chancellor, Angela Merkel, has given her support

:02:09. > :02:11.to David Cameron, saying reform was "justified."

:02:12. > :02:14.Today the Prime Minister has been trying to build support for a deal

:02:15. > :02:17.both in Europe and within his own party.

:02:18. > :02:19.Our Political Editor, Laura Kuenssberg, is in Brussels

:02:20. > :02:33.This is still a very live negotiation, the Prime Minister has

:02:34. > :02:36.just wrapped up a light night -- late-night phone: Donald Tusk and

:02:37. > :02:41.one diplomat said there is a mood around tonight, if a deal is not

:02:42. > :02:44.done now maybe it never will. It matters so much because it will

:02:45. > :02:51.shape the argument that help us decide whether to stay in the EU or

:02:52. > :02:54.not in a referendum widely expected at the end of June.

:02:55. > :02:56.What happens here tomorrow could decide whether we stay

:02:57. > :03:01.David Cameron hopes a deal can be done in Brussels that he can use

:03:02. > :03:04.to persuade us to stay but there are nerves.

:03:05. > :03:11.The man in charge of the talks told the BBC this is the vital moment.

:03:12. > :03:16.Today the UK is still a member of the European Union

:03:17. > :03:19.and I have a feeling that it will not change until tomorrow.

:03:20. > :03:21.Are you confident you will get a deal tomorrow?

:03:22. > :03:30.David Cameron will not fail for want of trying.

:03:31. > :03:33.He has made his case all around the continent and no Prime Minister

:03:34. > :03:35.has ever before tried to rewrite his country's

:03:36. > :03:40.relationship with the European Union.

:03:41. > :03:43.Today the most powerful politician on the continent,

:03:44. > :03:48.Germany's leader, said his plans were in everyone's interest.

:03:49. > :03:54.As other leaders prepare to come to Brussels,

:03:55. > :04:02.there are jitters, irritation about David Cameron's plans to limit

:04:03. > :04:04.benefits to EU migrants, concerns about the UK's demand

:04:05. > :04:08.It is rare for one of these summits to start with everything

:04:09. > :04:11.It is part of the poker game for countries to bluff,

:04:12. > :04:14.to hide what's in their hands, but this time David Cameron has

:04:15. > :04:20.staked so much on getting his way, both here in Brussels and at home.

:04:21. > :04:23.Many Conservatives think his hoped-for deal is feeble.

:04:24. > :04:30.Others are rather enjoying making people wait, and wait.

:04:31. > :04:33.After a little chat at number ten, was Boris Johnson ready to say

:04:34. > :04:46.A hint that the Prime Minister is some way off getting his support.

:04:47. > :04:49.I've said before, there's no point in saying anything until we see

:04:50. > :04:55.The rather anonymous Brussels backdrop is set for EU leaders

:04:56. > :04:57.to grind out a deal that could change our relationship

:04:58. > :05:00.with the Union for ever but what will matter

:05:01. > :05:03.is what you make of it and the arguments that will follow.

:05:04. > :05:06.Less than 48 hours to know if the deal will stand or fall.

:05:07. > :05:10.Perhaps just four months until you decide.

:05:11. > :05:16.Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, Brussels.

:05:17. > :05:19.So just how far away is David Cameron from an agreement

:05:20. > :05:23.On the eve of the crucial summit, there are still several EU states

:05:24. > :05:27.with deep concerns about elements of the reform package.

:05:28. > :05:29.Our Europe Editor, Katya Adler, has been taking a look at some

:05:30. > :05:34.of the challenges the Prime Minister still faces.

:05:35. > :05:41.This is the inner chamber where the leaders of all 28 EU countries will

:05:42. > :05:46.sit during the summit, David Cameron will be here, arguing the case for

:05:47. > :05:51.his reforms dismissed by critics at home as too weak but for a number in

:05:52. > :05:56.this room they go too far. The Prime Minister is on better terms now with

:05:57. > :06:00.his EU peers than ever before after weeks and months of diplomacy. But

:06:01. > :06:06.will it be enough? It is a bit of a gamble, all of it. David Cameron

:06:07. > :06:11.called a referendum on EU membership without being sure how the people of

:06:12. > :06:17.Britain would decide. Before that he missed a dramatically changed UK

:06:18. > :06:22.relationship with the European Union without asking the EU first. He

:06:23. > :06:29.clearly is willing to roll the dice so how will the summit play out for

:06:30. > :06:33.him? In his corner are northern European countries like the

:06:34. > :06:39.Netherlands and Denmark. Also the Baltic states, Lithuania, Latvia and

:06:40. > :06:45.Estonia. The art tricky opponent as well, Hungary and Poland, other

:06:46. > :06:49.countries of central and eastern Europe are likely to wrangle over

:06:50. > :06:55.the details of cutting migrant benefits and child welfare while

:06:56. > :07:00.France is bearing its teeth at proposed UK to safeguard at Eurozone

:07:01. > :07:05.legislation. And there are unknowns as well, Greece, Italy, countries

:07:06. > :07:09.that could hold the British deal to ransom in an attempt to get

:07:10. > :07:13.something they want like financial and logistical support over refugees

:07:14. > :07:17.and others coming by boat from Turkey. And what about the

:07:18. > :07:23.all-important Germany? David Cameron is hoping that Chancellor Merkel

:07:24. > :07:28.will play the role of mediator, ushering those other leaders towards

:07:29. > :07:32.a unanimous yes for his reforms. But she will only stick out her neck so

:07:33. > :07:37.far for David Cameron because she is in trouble at home and need the

:07:38. > :07:43.goodwill of other countries to help her housing all of those asylum

:07:44. > :07:46.seekers coming into Europe. When discussing the UK deal commits EU

:07:47. > :07:51.leaders decisions will reflect the concerns of their own voters back

:07:52. > :07:57.home. This is a continent beset by crises although the reforms take

:07:58. > :08:03.centre stage at this summit. This British business is really a

:08:04. > :08:06.sideshow. We have one or two really big problems here, refugees, the

:08:07. > :08:14.Eurozone crisis, these big problems here, refugees, the

:08:15. > :08:18.issues. David Cameron, like other EU leaders, wants to move on from his

:08:19. > :08:21.reforms debate but he seems to have overlooked this colossus, the

:08:22. > :08:26.European Parliament. It will vote on a summit deal and could change it

:08:27. > :08:31.and that would be hugely problematic for the Prime Minister so is it

:08:32. > :08:35.likely? If we have such an agreement, a good agreement in the

:08:36. > :08:41.council, usually most of the big parties in the European Parliament

:08:42. > :08:47.will respect that and vote for it. Usually but not definitely? It

:08:48. > :08:52.depends what comes out. The debate is likely to be stormy and the

:08:53. > :08:56.outcome far from guaranteed. All the leaders say they want Britain to

:08:57. > :09:00.stay with a seat at this table and David Cameron says he would love

:09:01. > :09:02.that if he gets the changes he wants but if not, he has hinted that all

:09:03. > :09:17.bets are off. We are reaching the point where many

:09:18. > :09:19.in the UK need to start focusing on the issue with the referendum

:09:20. > :09:26.potentially a few months away. Absolutely. The Appomattox here will

:09:27. > :09:31.host a lot of fraud negotiations in the next 48 hours -- diplomatic 's.

:09:32. > :09:35.But we are rapidly moving to the stage where the choice will be ours.

:09:36. > :09:42.If the deal is done this week we will all be voting in a referendum

:09:43. > :09:45.at the individual and the deal would be the basis, the launch pad of the

:09:46. > :09:49.Prime Minister's campaign but it's not straightforward and he is still

:09:50. > :09:53.having a hard time getting some of his undecided ministers on board.

:09:54. > :09:57.Look at Boris Johnson when he left Downing Street, he did not look like

:09:58. > :10:01.somebody who was enthusiastic about what was put on the table and

:10:02. > :10:06.whether or not you are enthusiastic about this yet, we are rapidly

:10:07. > :10:10.moving towards what will be the biggest choice, the biggest

:10:11. > :10:12.political choice that Britain has made as a country for many years.

:10:13. > :10:16.Many thanks. Well, tomorrow's summit won't just

:10:17. > :10:18.be focusing on proposed The ongoing migration crisis

:10:19. > :10:24.will also be discussed. Last year more than a million

:10:25. > :10:27.migrants and refugees entered Europe, raising the question of how

:10:28. > :10:30.best to deal with the resettlement Today Greece began registering

:10:31. > :10:35.new arrivals at special reception centres on some of its islands,

:10:36. > :10:37.in line with EU demands. But many in the country are unhappy

:10:38. > :10:41.at what they see as the negative impact of the crisis

:10:42. > :10:43.on local communities This morning, in high spirits,

:10:44. > :10:53.a boat full of migrants arrived Europe has accused Greece

:10:54. > :11:01.of waving its arrivals onto the rest of the continent

:11:02. > :11:04.without checking them. It has given the country three

:11:05. > :11:07.months to do better. It has opened four screening

:11:08. > :11:12.centres, called hotspots, Here officials will register

:11:13. > :11:19.everyone who lands, they will aim to separate refugees escaping war

:11:20. > :11:21.from economic migrants We are ready to receive

:11:22. > :11:31.with all international procedural law of European Union,

:11:32. > :11:33.of UNHCR, the refugees This weekend, locals in Kos rose up

:11:34. > :11:45.and delayed the opening And in northern Greece we found

:11:46. > :11:55.demonstrators campaigning Greece struggles to cope not just

:11:56. > :12:05.with its migrants but here, These protesters don't want a local

:12:06. > :12:10.transit camp for migrants to be They worry that a temporary camp

:12:11. > :12:17.might become permanent. Waving migrants through angered

:12:18. > :12:39.its neighbours in Europe. Checking those migrants on its own

:12:40. > :12:51.soil now angers its own people. An explosion in the Turkish capital,

:12:52. > :12:55.Ankara, has left at least 28 people as buses carrying military

:12:56. > :13:04.personnel passed by. The blast happened in an area not

:13:05. > :13:08.far from Parliament, and close to the country's

:13:09. > :13:11.military headquarters. Turkey's Deputy Prime Minister

:13:12. > :13:15.called it an "act of terrorism". New figures show unemployment

:13:16. > :13:18.in the UK is continuing to fall, with a record number

:13:19. > :13:22.of people in work. In the three months to the end

:13:23. > :13:26.of last year, the number out of work dropped by 60,000 to 1.69 million,

:13:27. > :13:32.a jobless rate of 5.1%. But growth in earnings

:13:33. > :13:38.is still lagging, at just 2%. But while the national employment

:13:39. > :13:41.picture looks buoyant, one of Northern Ireland's biggest

:13:42. > :13:45.employers, the aircraft manufacturer Bombardier, is cutting more

:13:46. > :13:47.than 1,000 jobs in Belfast over Across Britain, 270 workers

:13:48. > :13:52.will leave the company's Our Ireland Correspondent,

:13:53. > :14:07.Chris Buckler, is in Bombardier is one of the biggest

:14:08. > :14:12.names in global aviation but it has been facing real problems. Recently,

:14:13. > :14:15.to try to help them through difficulties, the State government

:14:16. > :14:19.in Quebec in Canada where it is based gave them $1 billion but it

:14:20. > :14:25.was not enough, they have to cut costs. 7000 people are to go from

:14:26. > :14:28.its worldwide workforce and more than a thousand here in Northern

:14:29. > :14:33.Ireland and that is very significant given the state of the economy here,

:14:34. > :14:36.it amounts to one in five of their workforce here.

:14:37. > :14:38.Workers left Bombardier's plants today with real concern

:14:39. > :14:43.All were talking about the potential impact of these job losses

:14:44. > :14:46.on their friends behind the gates and their families beyond them.

:14:47. > :14:49.Everybody's depressed about it and stuff like that there.

:14:50. > :14:54.I just gotta hope I'm still employed next year.

:14:55. > :14:56.Just terrible for everybody concerned like, so it is, like.

:14:57. > :14:59.Like, everybody knew it was going to happen,

:15:00. > :15:02.like, but I don't think they thought the total would be as large

:15:29. > :15:33.The modern industry is very competitive and Bombardier has seen

:15:34. > :15:38.an international drop in demand for its business jets.

:15:39. > :15:41.It's also had real problems with the C Series, a new passenger

:15:42. > :15:43.plane it's introducing to try to compete with Airbus and Boeing.

:15:44. > :15:46.The spiralling costs of the new aircraft have left it

:15:47. > :15:52.having to make cutbacks despite huge financial support from the state

:15:53. > :15:56.government in Quebec, where Bombardier is based.

:15:57. > :15:58.The whole global aerospace world is looking at how they can

:15:59. > :16:02.optimise their cost base and that includes going to what we would call

:16:03. > :16:04.lower cost countries and if we want to compete,

:16:05. > :16:06.being in a global marketplace, then we need to take advantage

:16:07. > :16:13.Bombardier insists it still sees a bright future at its plants here,

:16:14. > :16:15.but that continued concern about costs will be

:16:16. > :16:22.We understand that they've had to take this step in terms of global

:16:23. > :16:26.restructuring, 7,000 jobs right across the world,

:16:27. > :16:28.but we also understand that it's a very, very worrying time

:16:38. > :16:39.Today, in Montreal, the company was trying to concentrate

:22:20. > :22:21.He wasn't really nice to be around, initially.

:22:22. > :22:30.We just knew he needed a second chance.

:22:31. > :22:35.That second chance came about because he had a new loving

:22:36. > :22:40.home but, critically, also through therapy.

:22:41. > :22:45.In war, children are often treated for PTSD using art and storytelling,

:22:46. > :22:53.as well as one-on-one therapy, like these in Syria.

:22:54. > :22:55.Such techniques have brought about real changes in Samuel.

:22:56. > :23:01.Less talking about the things that he'd witnessed

:23:02. > :23:11.In the science of trauma there have also been extraordinary advances.

:23:12. > :23:14.Researchers are studying the brains of traumatised soldiers and then

:23:15. > :23:19.comparing them with children who've witnessed disturbing events.

:23:20. > :23:22.Here, for example, we see changes in brain structure.

:23:23. > :23:26.They found that part of the frontal section of the brain,

:23:27. > :23:29.which deals with emotion, thins in the same way as soldiers

:23:30. > :23:34.Children who have been exposed to domestic violence

:23:35. > :23:38.and maltreatment, we see that there is a thinner cortex

:23:39. > :23:40.Can the damage that we see be reversed?

:23:41. > :23:47.For many there's a long-term risk, but there is evidence of recovery

:23:48. > :23:53.So although we see changes in the brain, we know the brain

:23:54. > :24:03.is an incredibly plastic organ and is able to respond and adapt

:24:04. > :24:08.leading to addiction, broken relationships, depression.

:24:09. > :24:11.Psychotherapist Paul Barrett helps PTSD sufferers.

:24:12. > :24:13.He was only diagnosed with the condition himself

:24:14. > :24:19.What really happened to me was, I was walking up the road one day

:24:20. > :24:23.and I started getting flashbacks from childhood.

:24:24. > :24:30.I didn't really know what was happening.

:24:31. > :24:34.I walked round with a constant feeling of fear, but never realised

:24:35. > :24:45.According to one leading charity, 70% of children with mental health

:24:46. > :24:48.problems haven't been treated at a young enough age.

:24:49. > :24:51.Experts are calling for greater focus on and funding

:24:52. > :24:58.Damaged children can grow up into damaged adults?

:24:59. > :25:01.They very much do and of course a huge cost to society,

:25:02. > :25:06.whether it's young offenders or children causing all sorts

:25:07. > :25:10.That is costing society a great deal.

:25:11. > :25:14.Of course, it's causing those children a huge amount of harm.

:25:15. > :25:19.Samuel had the unluckiest of starts in life, but he's becoming

:25:20. > :25:29.There's a great child locked up in that body,

:25:30. > :25:37.There's more on BBC One's In the Mind season

:25:38. > :25:43.That's at bbc.co.uk/inthemind, including details of where you can

:25:44. > :25:54.You can follow us on social media at #inthemind.

:25:55. > :25:57.The technology giant Apple is to fight a court order saying it

:25:58. > :26:00.must help the FBI unlock the phone of one of the attackers who killed

:26:01. > :26:03.14 people in a mass shooting in California last December.

:26:04. > :26:08.A judge ruled the company must help investigators overcome the security

:26:09. > :26:10.software on his iPhone, which they believe may

:26:11. > :26:17.Our North America correspondent, James Cook, has the story.

:26:18. > :26:20.It was the worst terrorist attack on American soil

:26:21. > :26:27.Investigators are still trying to piece together how it happened.

:26:28. > :26:32.Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik died in a shoot-out

:26:33. > :26:36.with police and one of the few clues they left behind was an iPhone,

:26:37. > :26:39.which the FBI have been unable to unlock.

:26:40. > :26:41.The phone was found in a car just outside this house

:26:42. > :26:47.Cracking it is crucial because the FBI seems to be

:26:48. > :26:50.struggling to figure out whether the couple acted alone

:26:51. > :26:53.or whether they plotted with others who could still pose a threat

:26:54. > :27:00.Well, since 2014 you get ten attempts at putting in a PIN before

:27:01. > :27:06.The FBI is demanding that Apple write new software

:27:07. > :27:09.which would disable that feature and allow it to rapidly bombard

:27:10. > :27:13.the device with PINs until the code is cracked.

:27:14. > :27:17.A court has now instructed Apple to help, but the company says it

:27:18. > :27:24.Its boss has repeatedly warned that building a back door to bypass

:27:25. > :27:26.iPhone security would be dangerous, potentially exposing the personal

:27:27. > :27:31.information of millions of people to hackers.

:27:32. > :27:34.There have been people that suggest that we should have a back door,

:27:35. > :27:37.but the reality is, if you put a back door in, that back

:27:38. > :27:39.door's for everybody, for good guys and bad guys.

:27:40. > :27:41.Some lawyers think forcing Apple to write computer

:27:42. > :27:48.This is very likely unconstitutional, it's forcing Apple

:27:49. > :27:53.We know, from Supreme Court precedent, that code is speech.

:27:54. > :27:55.So they're basically forcing Apple to speak, which is contrary

:27:56. > :28:01.It's also contrary to international human rights law.

:28:02. > :28:04.It is kind of sending us down this slippery slope.

:28:05. > :28:06.This is not just about the San Bernardino attacks,

:28:07. > :28:12.Politicians and the police say stronger and stronger encryption

:28:13. > :28:15.of personal devices is making it harder to fight crime

:28:16. > :28:29.We are increasingly blind, for terrorism purposes

:28:30. > :28:31.and for general law enforcement purposes, with the new devices

:28:32. > :28:34.and the continuing effort to make them even more secure against even

:28:35. > :28:36.court orders authorising law enforcement to have access.

:28:37. > :28:39.In the digital era it seems striking a balance between liberty

:28:40. > :28:43.This is an age old dilemma recast for our times.

:28:44. > :28:49.James Cook, BBC News, San Bernardino in California.

:28:50. > :28:51.Back now to our top story tonight, Britain's negotiations

:28:52. > :28:59.Our Europe editor, Kayta Adler, is in Brussels.

:29:00. > :29:06.Not long to go before the summit. Is there a sense it could be a moment

:29:07. > :29:09.in the recent history of the EU and Britain's relationship with the rest

:29:10. > :29:13.of the continent? Well, I can tell you, Clive, that in Brussels tonight

:29:14. > :29:19.there is a sense of tension and occasion. The city is bristling with

:29:20. > :29:23.politicians and civil servants and journalists with a far keener than

:29:24. > :29:27.usual interest in the outcome of an EU Summit. The focus of course is on

:29:28. > :29:33.the British am were and his reforms. Will he or won't he get them passed

:29:34. > :29:37.is what everyone wants to know. He has been zooming around European

:29:38. > :29:42.capitals trying his hard but charming sell on EU leaders. That is

:29:43. > :29:45.because even though those reforms are derided at home in the rest of

:29:46. > :29:49.Europe they are seen as quite something. This is because it's the

:29:50. > :29:54.first time in EU history that a member of the club has stood up,

:29:55. > :29:58.stamped his foot and threateneded to leave unless the House rules are

:29:59. > :30:05.changed. Despite the other crises going on in the rest of Europe, mass

:30:06. > :30:08.migration, jitters over Russia and Eurozone slumps, EU institutions and

:30:09. > :30:11.countries have jumped to David Cameron to do what they feel they

:30:12. > :30:14.can for him much as we heard, a deal is not quaranteed at this summit.

:30:15. > :30:19.Technical sticking points remain. But the will is there. The talk of

:30:20. > :30:23.the town tonight is how Europe is stronger together and that means

:30:24. > :30:26.with Britain on board. You can expect similar arguments from the

:30:27. > :30:30.Prime Minister, in support of staying in the EU, in the leadup to

:30:31. > :30:36.the referendum if he gets his reform deal passed here. OK, Katya, thanks

:30:37. > :30:39.for that. Katya Adler there in Brussels.

:30:40. > :30:41.Newsnight is about to get underway over on BBC Two.

:30:42. > :30:47.Tonight, we're excited about Europe, as we always are, more excited

:30:48. > :30:51.But we'll also be looking at the new drugs for hepatitis C.

:30:52. > :30:53.They work, you'll need medication when we tell you how much they cost.

:30:54. > :30:57.Join me now on BBC Two, 11.00pm in Scotland.

:30:58. > :31:03.That's it from us. There's continuing coverage of all the day's

:31:04. > :31:07.top stories on the BBC News Channel, including a first look at tomorrow's

:31:08. > :31:08.papers. Here, on BBC One, it's now time
