:00:18. > :00:22.David Cameron says he's negotiated a deal to give the UK special status

:00:23. > :00:24.Agreement was supposed to be reached over breakfast.

:00:25. > :00:27.Instead it took until dinner for the 28 EU leaders to see eye

:00:28. > :00:31.The details are still coming in, it's being reported

:00:32. > :00:39.that the Prime Minister has secured a seven-year curb on

:00:40. > :00:41.of his closest Cabinet allies, Michael Gove, will

:00:42. > :00:47.As details of the deal emerge, we'll be live in Brussels

:01:09. > :01:11.one of the most famous books in the world -

:01:12. > :01:18.Later on BBC London: With a new deal on Europe on the horizon,

:01:19. > :01:20.how would the one million EU nationals living here feel

:01:21. > :01:25.And 15 years on from the foot and mouth disaster, how

:01:26. > :01:50.After almost 30 hours of intense negotiations,

:01:51. > :01:52.wrangling and delays at the EU summit in Brussels,

:01:53. > :02:05.David Cameron says he has agreed a special status that the European

:02:06. > :02:06.Union. It will pave the way for an in-out

:02:07. > :02:09.referendum - very possibly in June. The news of a deal came a short time

:02:10. > :02:13.ago after lengthy talks between David Cameron's plans to restrict

:02:14. > :02:17.migrant benefits proved to be one Tonight, the President

:02:18. > :02:20.of the European Council, Donald Tusk, announced there had

:02:21. > :02:22.been unanimous support for the deal. Let's go straight to our Europe

:02:23. > :02:34.editor Katya Adler in Brussels. Yes, getting a decision on this deal

:02:35. > :02:38.really did take hours and hours. It had been supposed to be announced

:02:39. > :02:44.what was dubbed an English breakfast this morning. It slipped into a

:02:45. > :02:49.lunch and now this dinner. We heard David Cameron did get unanimous

:02:50. > :02:53.support that he needed from all 27 countries for this deal. He did get

:02:54. > :03:00.what he wanted but not only that, evidence that what ever his critics

:03:01. > :03:01.will say about the content of the deal, it was significant enough that

:03:02. > :03:12.he will have to fight hard to get it. Breaking bread

:03:13. > :03:16.together is a time-honoured way to forge good relations with your

:03:17. > :03:20.neighbours. It has taken David Cameron hours of horse trading to

:03:21. > :03:27.get together with the other it U leaders. Now they are dining over a

:03:28. > :03:31.new deal. There are rumours there is resolution for desert. The day got

:03:32. > :03:37.off to a far less harmonious start. David Cameron was not the only

:03:38. > :03:40.bleary eyed leader on the block. Bad-tempered bilateral meetings had

:03:41. > :03:45.dragged on until dawn. I was here until five o'clock this morning. We

:03:46. > :03:49.have made some progress, but there is still no deal. I have said I will

:03:50. > :03:55.only do a deal if we get what Britain needs. I will get back in

:03:56. > :04:00.there, do some more work and I will do what I can.

:04:01. > :04:06.Instead of hailing a UK deal this morning, the Prime Minister found

:04:07. > :04:11.himself in a grinding new world of talks. We are happy to stay till

:04:12. > :04:16.Sunday. He had told the wife and kids, you said, there could be some

:04:17. > :04:20.delay. A case of laughing on the outside, not so happy on the inside.

:04:21. > :04:26.The Prime Minister had promised a battle for Britain at the summit,

:04:27. > :04:29.the truth is that after weeks and months of shuttle diplomacy,

:04:30. > :04:33.travelling, meeting leaders across Europe, he did not expect such

:04:34. > :04:40.strong push back on such a number of issues from so many countries around

:04:41. > :04:46.the table here. TRANSLATION: The proposal currently on the table does

:04:47. > :04:52.not satisfy all parties. We have not finished yet. Preventing the leaders

:04:53. > :04:56.from finishing were very specific objections to David Cameron's

:04:57. > :05:04.proposed reforms. The French opposed safeguards against rules for

:05:05. > :05:08.preferential treatment for the City of London. The Belgians and others

:05:09. > :05:14.objected to changing EU treaties, to write Britain out of the deal for

:05:15. > :05:17.ever closer union. Central and Eastern European countries fought

:05:18. > :05:22.back against the so-called emergency brake, a low the government to cut

:05:23. > :05:28.EU migrant benefits. David Cameron wanted a break in 13 years. We hear

:05:29. > :05:35.they have settled for seven. Poland and others also dug in their heels

:05:36. > :05:44.over changing child benefits for EU migrant workers. And on top of that,

:05:45. > :05:50.the Greek Prime Minister decided to hijack this oh so public opportunity

:05:51. > :05:54.to do some hard bargaining. Help me with migrant arrivals, he said, and

:05:55. > :06:00.I will not stand in the way of a British deal. As the hours ticked

:06:01. > :06:04.by, news began to leak that slow EU progress was being made. The 12

:06:05. > :06:09.leaders here want to get this deal done so they can turn to other

:06:10. > :06:12.pressing concerns. We keep hearing about big gaps between the countries

:06:13. > :06:21.on different issues, they have been going on for months now. How can

:06:22. > :06:25.they suddenly be resolved? If each and every country pursues its

:06:26. > :06:29.national interest, that is logical, but in the end, we all have to

:06:30. > :06:34.understand that if Great Britain leaves the EU, we all get nothing.

:06:35. > :06:38.That has been an element of smoke and mirrors here, all parties felt

:06:39. > :06:43.the need to be seen to stand their ground. That is why proceedings have

:06:44. > :06:46.taken so long. It has become clear the British Prime Minister was not

:06:47. > :06:51.the only one who came to do battle in Brussels.

:06:52. > :06:59.We have the deal, what about the detail? News is really just coming

:07:00. > :07:02.in. In that dinner, just a few minutes ago really, EU leaders were

:07:03. > :07:08.seeing this new draft deal for the first time. Donald Tusk, the host of

:07:09. > :07:11.this meeting, the president of the European Council, he represents all

:07:12. > :07:15.of EU leaders, he said that this deal now tries to take in

:07:16. > :07:19.everybody's sensitivities. What is important to the Prime Minister as

:07:20. > :07:23.it takes in his main concerns. What we are hearing from a Downing Street

:07:24. > :07:27.source is that he has got approval for the emergency brake on EU

:07:28. > :07:33.migrant welfare, and that he can have cuts on EU migrant benefits for

:07:34. > :07:37.seven years. Now he had tried to come to this meeting and asked for a

:07:38. > :07:40.13 year period and he does have seven years. Downing Street said

:07:41. > :07:44.they would have guessed we would even have got that? Very important

:07:45. > :07:48.also for the Prime Minister is exempting Britain from EU wide of

:07:49. > :07:52.ever closer union. We are hearing he will get that in what is called

:07:53. > :07:55.treaty language, that is very important. That was fought against

:07:56. > :08:02.by a number of countries here, the fact that eventually might involve

:08:03. > :08:05.treaty change. Also we are hearing there has been an agreement on child

:08:06. > :08:08.benefit for EU migrants, those that won't get it paid at all and those

:08:09. > :08:10.that will have its index linked depending on where the actual

:08:11. > :08:15.children of EU migrants are living and working in the UK are. The

:08:16. > :08:19.welfare benefits will be matched to the cost of living of why those

:08:20. > :08:25.children are. That as well. Finally, this was a very vexed detail,

:08:26. > :08:28.protections from the UK from Eurozone legislation. They have

:08:29. > :08:32.another emergency brake there. We don't know get the details, but it

:08:33. > :08:36.will mean that the UK can raise the alarm when it feels that there are

:08:37. > :08:40.Eurozone rules coming in that can adversely affect the UK and the City

:08:41. > :08:43.of London as well. From those details we are hearing, David

:08:44. > :08:47.Cameron will be very pleased indeed. This is what he set out to get. We

:08:48. > :08:51.are expecting him to come and talk at a press conference at any moment

:08:52. > :08:57.now, and we have been hearing also from a number of the other prime

:08:58. > :09:03.ministers, who had to negotiate with him, that he was a very tough

:09:04. > :09:07.negotiator indeed. Of course his critics back home, this will not be

:09:08. > :09:09.good enough for them. They have said all along these are narrow issues

:09:10. > :09:13.and they do not fundamentally change Britain's relationship with the EU

:09:14. > :09:17.but Britain's Prime Minister and his team will be delighted. They will

:09:18. > :09:20.hold a cabinet meeting, expected tomorrow morning, they can then

:09:21. > :09:25.launch date for the referendum and the real campaigning can begin.

:09:26. > :09:27.Let's go straight to Downing Street and our political editor Laura

:09:28. > :09:32.Kuenssberg is there. From what you are hearing, what is your assessment

:09:33. > :09:36.of the deal and what it will mean in the months ahead? This is a rare

:09:37. > :09:48.political moment, to be honest it's a unique political moment. We know

:09:49. > :09:51.for certain now that you, me, every voter in the country will be given

:09:52. > :09:53.the chance to make their own decision about whether or not we

:09:54. > :09:56.should stay or leave the European Union most likely at the end of

:09:57. > :09:58.June. David Cameron has done something no Prime Minister has ever

:09:59. > :10:00.done before, sort and achieved some of his aims to change our

:10:01. > :10:04.relationship with the European Union while already being a member. The

:10:05. > :10:09.battle will be over just how big those changes are. Are they really

:10:10. > :10:12.substantial? The Prime Minister will claim, particularly of welfare, that

:10:13. > :10:15.they will make a real difference to the lives of people in this country,

:10:16. > :10:21.winning restrictions on EU migrants living in this country is a

:10:22. > :10:25.significant political achievement for him. The big difficulty that he

:10:26. > :10:28.has, not just because those claims will be tightly contested, is that

:10:29. > :10:31.he knows within his own party their senior figures who will not back

:10:32. > :10:35.him. When he gathers his cabinet here tomorrow morning, probably at

:10:36. > :10:41.9am, around the table there will be senior figures will not agree that

:10:42. > :10:44.he has got a deal that will really change our relationship with the EU

:10:45. > :10:47.for the better. One of them we learned tonight as his close

:10:48. > :10:51.confidant and political ally for many years, Michael Gove. When he

:10:52. > :10:55.looks them all in the eye tomorrow morning around the Cabinet table,

:10:56. > :11:00.that may feel rather different to the moment that Downing Street sees

:11:01. > :11:04.as a victory in Brussels tonight. But persuading them and of course

:11:05. > :11:09.the rest of us is a fight that is already under way. We are expecting

:11:10. > :11:13.to hear from David Cameron, the first words since this deal has been

:11:14. > :11:17.agreed, in just a few minutes. You can tell just how hard he has had to

:11:18. > :11:21.fight to get the deal that he wanted, given the negotiations, the

:11:22. > :11:25.wranglings that have gone on for so many hours? Yes, there is no

:11:26. > :11:29.question about that, not because this particular event, this summit

:11:30. > :11:34.dragged on and on and on, not just because of the fact that over the

:11:35. > :11:37.last few months we have seen him time and time again making different

:11:38. > :11:40.visits to different European capitals, taking every opportunity

:11:41. > :11:44.to press the flesh of his fellow UUNET -- EU leaders around the

:11:45. > :11:48.country, but if we think back to the reaction of many people around the

:11:49. > :11:52.European Union when he embarked on this adventure, what some people

:11:53. > :11:56.would call a gamble, he faced significant criticism, some of it

:11:57. > :11:59.public, some of it private, and more of it private, that he was raising

:12:00. > :12:04.the issue and many people believed he was doing it for his own

:12:05. > :12:08.political... I will interrupt you. Straight to Brussels and the Prime

:12:09. > :12:12.Minister. I will fly back to London tonight and update the Cabinet at

:12:13. > :12:15.10am tomorrow morning. This deal has delivered on the commitments I made

:12:16. > :12:21.at the beginning of this renegotiation process. Britain will

:12:22. > :12:26.be permanently out of ever closer union, never part of a European

:12:27. > :12:29.superstate. There will be tough new restrictions on access to our

:12:30. > :12:35.welfare system for EU migrants, no more something for nothing. Britain

:12:36. > :12:39.will never join the euro, and we have secured vital protections for

:12:40. > :12:44.our economy. And a full slate over the rules of the free trade single

:12:45. > :12:49.market, while remaining outside the euro -- a full slate. I believe

:12:50. > :12:53.there is enough for me to recommend that the United Kingdom remain in

:12:54. > :12:57.the United -- the European Union, having the best of both words. We

:12:58. > :13:00.will begin the parts of Europe that work for us, influencing the

:13:01. > :13:04.decisions that affect us, in the driving seat of the world's biggest

:13:05. > :13:08.market and with the ability to take action to keep our people safe. And

:13:09. > :13:14.we will be out of the parts of Europe that don't work for us. Out

:13:15. > :13:17.of the open borders, out of the bailouts, out of the euro, and out

:13:18. > :13:22.of those schemes in which Britain wants no part. Let me set out the

:13:23. > :13:26.details of exactly what we have agreed and why. I began this

:13:27. > :13:31.negotiation to address the concerns of the British people and today, all

:13:32. > :13:36.28 member states have signed up to concrete reforms in each of the four

:13:37. > :13:40.areas that I set out. British jobs and British business all depend on

:13:41. > :13:45.being able to trade with Europe on a level playing field, so our first

:13:46. > :13:48.aim in these negotiations was to get new protections for countries like

:13:49. > :13:53.ours, which are in the single market but not in the euro. Let me take you

:13:54. > :13:57.through what we have secured. We have permanently protected the pound

:13:58. > :14:01.and our right to keep it. For the first time that you have explicitly

:14:02. > :14:06.acknowledged that it has more than one currency. Responsibility for

:14:07. > :14:10.supervising the financial stability of the UK remains in the hands of

:14:11. > :14:14.the Bank of England, so we continue to keep our taxpayers and our savers

:14:15. > :14:19.safe. We have ensured that British taxpayers will never be made to bail

:14:20. > :14:23.out countries in the Eurozone. We have ensured that the UK's economic

:14:24. > :14:27.interests are protected. We have made sure that the Eurozone cannot

:14:28. > :14:32.act as a bloc to undermine the integrity of the free-trade single

:14:33. > :14:37.market. And we have guaranteed that British business will never face any

:14:38. > :14:40.discrimination for being outside the Eurozone for example our financial

:14:41. > :14:45.services firms can never be forced to relocate inside the Eurozone if

:14:46. > :14:49.want to trade in euros, just because they are based in the UK. And not

:14:50. > :14:53.only are these rules set out in a legally binding agreement, we have

:14:54. > :14:57.also agreed that should the UK or another non-euro member states feel

:14:58. > :15:04.that the rules are being broken they can actively activate an emergency

:15:05. > :15:08.safeguard unilaterally to ensure these rules are enforced. Let me be

:15:09. > :15:13.clear because there has been debate about this. Britain will have the

:15:14. > :15:18.power to pull this leave on our own. Our second aim in these negotiations

:15:19. > :15:23.was to make Europe more competitive, so we create jobs and make British

:15:24. > :15:26.families more financially secure. We have secured a declaration outlining

:15:27. > :15:30.a number of commitments in this area. For the first time the

:15:31. > :15:34.European Union will now say that competitiveness is, and I quote, and

:15:35. > :15:37.essential objective of the union. This is important, because it goes

:15:38. > :15:43.to the very heart of what Europe should be about. It means Europe

:15:44. > :15:46.will complete the single marketing services, this will make it easier

:15:47. > :15:49.for service -based companies like IT firms, to trade in Europe. Nowhere

:15:50. > :15:54.will this be more of an opportunity than in the United Kingdom, where

:15:55. > :15:58.thousands of service companies make up two thirds of our whole economy.

:15:59. > :16:02.It could add up to 2% our economy each year. That is a real

:16:03. > :16:06.improvement. The European Union will also complete the single market in

:16:07. > :16:10.capital. This will mean UK start-ups will be able to access more sources

:16:11. > :16:14.of finance for their business and it will also present new opportunities

:16:15. > :16:17.for the UK financial services industry. Europe will now also

:16:18. > :16:22.complete the single market in energy. This will allow more

:16:23. > :16:24.suppliers into the UK energy market, lowering bills and increasing

:16:25. > :16:29.investment across the continent. That is a real improvement as well.

:16:30. > :16:32.In addition we have secured commitments from Europe to complete

:16:33. > :16:40.trade and investment agreements with the fastest-growing and most dynamic

:16:41. > :16:42.economies around the world. We will leave David Cameron there, as he

:16:43. > :16:44.continues to give details of the deal that has been agreed

:16:45. > :16:49.unanimously in Brussels tonight. Let's go back to Downing Street and

:16:50. > :16:54.Laura Kuenssberg. A big political moment. From what you have heard,

:16:55. > :16:58.what is your assessment? Has he got enough? There is no question in the

:16:59. > :17:01.coming months there is going to be intensely fierce scrutiny on every

:17:02. > :17:06.single part of what David Cameron has only just begun to lay out

:17:07. > :17:09.tonight. In terms of his big picture, politically, no question

:17:10. > :17:13.what Downing Street will be most pleased about is the ability as he

:17:14. > :17:17.said that end a something for nothing culture for EU migrants come

:17:18. > :17:21.here and then have access to our benefit system. That is politically

:17:22. > :17:25.crucial and something many Conservative MPs have been looking

:17:26. > :17:29.for. Also there, that exemption from the UK to the fundamental, what had

:17:30. > :17:37.been a fundamental European Union principle, that countries would move

:17:38. > :17:40.closer and closer together, become more and more like. He mentioned

:17:41. > :17:42.protections for the City of London and British business and what is

:17:43. > :17:45.going on in the Eurozone. Overall we heard the Central motif of what he

:17:46. > :18:51.will say again and again in his campaign, the approach will be

:18:52. > :18:57.More than 1000 people packed into a Westminster Hall tonight, persuading

:18:58. > :19:00.people to leave the EU. There are Westminster Hall tonight, persuading

:19:01. > :19:06.people locked out of the building because we cannot get any more in.

:19:07. > :19:11.It tells you what the public view of this issue is. The BBC has been told

:19:12. > :19:22.this man will be joining their ranks. He is the Justice Secretary,

:19:23. > :19:29.a senior figure in government. Michael Gove is not confirming

:19:30. > :19:38.whether he is campaigning on leaving the EU. There has been whispers for

:19:39. > :19:47.weeks. He and David Cameron are confidants. Like their wives, family

:19:48. > :19:52.friends said to be on opposing sides. I think there are some people

:19:53. > :19:56.who have always been opposed to our membership of the European Union.

:19:57. > :20:01.There are some who would stay in the EU at any price. I think most of us

:20:02. > :20:08.want to see a reformed European Union. How are you doing? Could he

:20:09. > :20:13.join Mr Gove? As soon as the Cabinet has met, probably at 9am, ministers

:20:14. > :20:18.are allowed to go public if they want to leave the EU. Will Boris

:20:19. > :20:27.Johnson, who has discussed it with Mr Gove this week, become an

:20:28. > :20:32.official outer? Gove's suspected support is a coup for those who want

:20:33. > :20:44.to leave. I feel very heartened by it, I must say. And may many more. I

:20:45. > :20:46.tell you who I would like to see fronting the campaign, Nigel

:20:47. > :20:52.tell you who I would like to see They are all now crawling out from

:20:53. > :20:58.under their rucksacks at last. These people all want to leave the EU. It

:20:59. > :21:02.matters to them, which Conservative ministers are prepared

:21:03. > :21:05.matters to them, which Conservative David Cameron and which will go.

:21:06. > :21:09.There are surprising figures, David Cameron and which will go.

:21:10. > :21:17.certainly those from different political parties. Comrades and

:21:18. > :21:20.friends... LAUGHTER Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg there.

:21:21. > :21:25.We will have more on the breaking news, the deal which has finally

:21:26. > :21:26.been reached in Brussels later in the programme. Now to the day's

:21:27. > :21:29.other news. Nearly 40 people have died in US air

:27:04. > :27:06.where David Cameron says he has agreed a deal to give the UK

:27:07. > :27:11.special status in the EU. It could now mean an EU referendum

:27:12. > :27:15.as soon as June this year. Our home editor, Mark Easton has

:27:16. > :27:18.been talking to a group of undecided voters

:27:19. > :27:20.in Warwickshire - to find out if they're any closer

:27:21. > :27:36.to making up their minds. It is a rare sight. Only at golf's

:27:37. > :27:43.Ryder Cup, Europe versus the USA, do you see Brits waving bee you flag.

:27:44. > :27:46.We have come to the scene of another cup, the Belfry in Warwickshire, to

:27:47. > :27:52.see if the people here would back David Cameron in a referendum. As

:27:53. > :27:57.the theatre played out in Brussels, the audience was watching back home.

:27:58. > :28:02.So are you watching a Prime Minister battling for Britain being pushed

:28:03. > :28:07.around in Europe? What do you think? He appears to be making a good fist

:28:08. > :28:12.of it. I personally would have liked to have seen him going a little bit

:28:13. > :28:19.stronger. I think the power we have as a nation within the EU, could

:28:20. > :28:25.have got us less confusion and not dragged this on as long as it has

:28:26. > :28:31.been. Do you think if he goes too strong and asks for too much that we

:28:32. > :28:35.might get nothing? What happens then? I think he is battling but at

:28:36. > :28:40.the same token, I think there is a degree of him being pushed around.

:28:41. > :28:45.One thing we do know is that Michael Gove the Justice Secretary will be

:28:46. > :28:49.campaigning to leave the EU. How does that make you feel? We will all

:28:50. > :28:53.be listening to what is going on in the U, the decisions David Cameron

:28:54. > :28:58.is trying to fight for and now a senior member of his parliament has

:28:59. > :29:01.said he wants us out anyway. I think it is backstabbing. I think

:29:02. > :29:03.said he wants us out anyway. I think put more pressure on David Cameron

:29:04. > :29:05.and made his job harder put more pressure on David Cameron

:29:06. > :29:10.has not got the backing of senior put more pressure on David Cameron

:29:11. > :29:15.members of Parliament. He needs his team around him. He is dealing in

:29:16. > :29:22.Brussels, meanwhile, backers -- back at home, what is happening? They are

:29:23. > :29:27.not all sat on their hands of a? What chance do we stand of deciding

:29:28. > :29:33.whether to be in or out of the EU if the government is not decided? Our

:29:34. > :29:41.voters may look familiar, last week they were among a jury which debated

:29:42. > :29:47.the issue in Lichfield. It was the same story tonight. I'm sitting here

:29:48. > :29:51.now, I'm not sure if there is any point in having a referendum. White?

:29:52. > :29:57.Think they should get on with it in Brussels, come up with the deal, job

:29:58. > :30:06.done. I think that my children and grandchildren, what difference will

:30:07. > :30:09.it make for them? The 19th hole is to addition a web oldsters try and

:30:10. > :30:15.make sense of the previous 18. In the bar at the Belfry tonight, there

:30:16. > :30:17.is confusion -- where golfers try and make sense.

:30:18. > :30:19.Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg is in Westminster

:30:20. > :30:22.This is a really big - significant political moment -

:30:23. > :30:24.one that could have huge implications for the United Kingdom

:30:25. > :30:31.- what's your assessment of the months ahead?

:30:32. > :30:37.Well, Sophie, it will be noisy, it will be fierce around here,

:30:38. > :30:41.certainly. But listening to those many voters, they are not sure what

:30:42. > :30:46.this is all about. It is very hard to predict how much this will

:30:47. > :30:51.capture the public imagination. I think we cannot be sure what the

:30:52. > :30:56.campaigns will be like. Politics is in a febrile place in 2016. Although

:30:57. > :30:59.the polls suggest a narrow majority of people would want us to stay in

:31:00. > :31:16.the EU, when people start to think about that question, that might

:31:17. > :31:19.change quite quickly. For very good reasons, most of us do not spend

:31:20. > :31:22.many hours thinking about our place in the European Union. But when it

:31:23. > :31:24.comes to an intense campaign, it is hard to tell how public opinion will

:31:25. > :31:27.shift. What is clear is David Cameron does not want to be the

:31:28. > :31:30.Prime Minister who led Britain out of the EU. He also does not want to

:31:31. > :31:36.be the Prime Minister who split the Conservative Party. He cannot be

:31:37. > :31:40.confident that he will not see us exit the EU. Thank you. David

:31:41. > :31:44.Cameron is still on his feet giving details of the deal in Brussels. You

:31:45. > :31:45.can follow it on the BBC News Channel.
