Good afternoon and welcome to BBC News at One.

:00:22.:00:27.

27 union leaders meeting in Brussels have agreed their negotiating

:00:28.:00:39.

positions on Britain leaving the EU. Among other demands, they say the UK

:00:40.:00:43.

must agree a financial settlement on the future rights of EU citizens

:00:44.:00:46.

before any trade talks take place. The French president said written

:00:47.:00:51.

must pay a price the leaving. It is just one month since the Brexit

:00:52.:00:56.

letter was triggered, and that you leaders have their Brexit position

:00:57.:00:58.

ready to go. TRANSLATION: There is definitely a

:00:59.:01:03.

price, a cost for the UK, that is the choice it has made. It shouldn't

:01:04.:01:08.

be a punishment, but Europe will defend its interests, and the UK

:01:09.:01:16.

will be in a worse position outside the EU than it is now. What you EU

:01:17.:01:25.

leaders are most anxious about is what Britain feels it can achieve

:01:26.:01:29.

outside of the negotiations. Today was about injecting realism into the

:01:30.:01:33.

debate. This is what the EU will demand. The rights of millions of

:01:34.:01:37.

citizens affected by Brexit on both sides are preserved. That the UK

:01:38.:01:41.

agrees to fulfil its financial obligations to the EU. That way is

:01:42.:01:45.

sought to avoid new border controls in Ireland. Michel Barnier is the

:01:46.:01:51.

man tasked with enforcing those red lines. Everything ready for the UK

:01:52.:01:57.

negotiations? Here they say the outcome of the UK

:01:58.:02:00.

election will make no difference to the deal they will offer. If she

:02:01.:02:06.

wants to have a new election, it is her decision. It is an internal

:02:07.:02:10.

problem she wants to resolve the Conservative Party to have Theresa's

:02:11.:02:17.

Brexit, and she need support from the public. So that you EU leaders

:02:18.:02:27.

say that they are united and want Brexit on their terms.

:02:28.:02:31.

Well, in a moment we can talk to our political

:02:32.:02:33.

correspondent Ellie Price, who's in Westminister.

:02:34.:02:35.

But first let's talk to Damien Grammaticas in Brussels.

:02:36.:02:37.

Damien, just how united is this united front?

:02:38.:02:38.

To give you an example, those negotiating guidelines were adopted

:02:39.:02:46.

one minute after the leaders sat down for their meeting just a little

:02:47.:02:52.

earlier. It was the only item on the agenda, there was clearly no debate

:02:53.:02:57.

or discussion, they all signed off on it, so they are ready and they

:02:58.:03:00.

are very clear, they want those things that they have outlined

:03:01.:03:03.

agreed before they will move onto any trade talks. And I think that

:03:04.:03:09.

point about illusions, delusions, on the UK side, what they are worried

:03:10.:03:13.

about their are securing commitments from the UK but the financial

:03:14.:03:17.

liabilities will be met, and the rights of citizens will be

:03:18.:03:22.

preserved, so things like work rights, pension rights, rights to

:03:23.:03:26.

bring your family to live with you, all of those things they need nailed

:03:27.:03:29.

down, and they don't want any wiggling around on that before they

:03:30.:03:35.

move on to discuss the UK's future. Thank you very much indeed. Will the

:03:36.:03:40.

British Government be at all surprised by this united stance,

:03:41.:03:42.

Ellie? I don't think there will be too many

:03:43.:03:52.

surprises. Theresa May has already made her views quite clear. She has

:03:53.:03:55.

based her election strategy around it. Take for example the comments

:03:56.:04:00.

made by Angela Merkel early in the week where she said some Britons had

:04:01.:04:05.

the illusion that trade negotiating -- negotiations could happen at the

:04:06.:04:15.

same time as the Brexit deal. She says a Tory majority, strong Tory

:04:16.:04:20.

majority, would strengthen her hand in Brexit negotiations. Of course

:04:21.:04:23.

the other political parties have criticised Theresa May's strong

:04:24.:04:27.

handed approach. They say that she really ought to go in with a more

:04:28.:04:32.

conciliatory tone. They point to, for example, EU nationals and the

:04:33.:04:35.

fact that she hasn't guaranteed their rights within the UK in those

:04:36.:04:45.

negotiations. Tone will be central to this negotiation, and it shows

:04:46.:04:48.

the challenge ahead for whoever wins this negotiation. Ali Price in

:04:49.:04:50.

Westminster, thank you. The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has

:04:51.:05:02.

stressed the importance for Labour of young people "stepping up"

:05:03.:05:05.

and registering to vote for the upcoming general election

:05:06.:05:07.

before the deadline to do Addressing supporters in east

:05:08.:05:09.

London, Mr Corbyn stressed that "apathy and resignation" would hand

:05:10.:05:13.

seats to the Conservatives. 2.4 million young people are missing

:05:14.:05:15.

from Britain's electoral register. Barely 40% of 18 to 24-year-olds

:05:16.:05:17.

normally turn out to vote. The Conservatives are more than

:05:18.:05:23.

happy with this state of affairs. Apathy and resignation will secure

:05:24.:05:27.

them seats on election day. The Ukip leader Paul Nuttall says

:05:28.:05:34.

he'll stand as a candidate in Boston and Skegness

:05:35.:05:37.

in the general election. People there voted overwhelmingly

:05:38.:05:44.

to leave the EU in last Mr Nuttall, who recently stood as a

:05:45.:05:57.

candidate in the Stoke by-election, said it would be an honour to stand

:05:58.:05:58.

again. The Prime Minister will be

:05:59.:06:02.

campaigning in Scotland this afternoon for the first time

:06:03.:06:04.

since calling the general election. Conservatives have been buoyed

:06:05.:06:07.

by opinion polls suggesting support for their party is growing north

:06:08.:06:09.

of the border. Meanwhile in a speech in Glasgow,

:06:10.:06:11.

Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon insisted only the SNP can

:06:12.:06:14.

stop the Conservatives imposing We know from experience in Scotland

:06:15.:06:16.

and here in Glasgow that every vote for the Tories

:06:17.:06:21.

has real consequences. We've seen the damage

:06:22.:06:30.

a Tory Government has done It's emerged that one of the six

:06:31.:06:32.

people arrested in a counter terrorism operation in North London

:06:33.:06:41.

on Thursday night had been suspected of attempting to travel to Syria

:06:42.:06:48.

to join the so-called Islamic State. Mohamed Amoudi, who's 21,

:06:49.:06:51.

was deported back to the UK. Our home affairs correspondent

:06:52.:06:53.

June Kelly is here. Mohamed Amoudi, one of those

:06:54.:07:01.

detained in what Scotland Yard have described as an operation to foil a

:07:02.:07:06.

suspected terrorist plot, a woman was shot during the operation and

:07:07.:07:10.

remains in hospital. It has now emerged that Mohamed Amoudi came to

:07:11.:07:14.

the attention of the British authorities in 2013. He had

:07:15.:07:17.

travelled to Turkey with two 17-year-old boys, attempting to

:07:18.:07:21.

cross to Syria and join up with IS fighters. They were sent back to the

:07:22.:07:26.

UK, question by authorities and released without charge. We also

:07:27.:07:31.

have this separate counterterrorism investigation going on into the man

:07:32.:07:33.

who was detained in Whitehall on Thursday, and it has now emerged

:07:34.:07:39.

that he had spent some time in Afghanistan, and he came back to the

:07:40.:07:43.

UK towards the end of last year. June Kelly, thank you.

:07:44.:07:48.

Donald Trump has accused North Korea of disrespecting

:07:49.:07:50.

China after it test-fired a second ballistic missile.

:07:51.:07:52.

The test was launched hours after US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson

:07:53.:07:55.

called for a tougher international approach at the United

:07:56.:07:57.

Our correspondent Daniela Relph reports.

:07:58.:08:05.

As tensions build, it is a reminder of America's formidable military

:08:06.:08:12.

might. The USS Carl Vincent arrived in waters off the Korean peninsula,

:08:13.:08:19.

just hours after the failed nuclear test. US Secretary of State at the

:08:20.:08:25.

United Nations, his message was clear. UN sanctions are not working.

:08:26.:08:29.

The pressure on North Korea must be stepped up. With each successive

:08:30.:08:34.

debtor nation and missile test, North Korea pushes Northeast Asia

:08:35.:08:38.

and the world closer to instability and broader conflict. The threat of

:08:39.:08:54.

a North Korean nuclear attack on South Korea or Tokyo is real. So

:08:55.:09:02.

far, pressure has not stopped North Korea accelerating its nuclear

:09:03.:09:04.

weapons programme. President Trump also gave his view. He tweeted:

:09:05.:09:16.

And in London this morning, during a visit to the UK, the Japanese Prime

:09:17.:09:22.

Minister denounced the missile test. TRANSLATION: It is a grave threat to

:09:23.:09:27.

our country. This is absolutely not acceptable. We strongly condemn such

:09:28.:09:35.

acts. This latest move by North Korea's young leader appears to have

:09:36.:09:39.

strengthened international resolve to increase the pressure on him and

:09:40.:09:42.

his country. Daniela Relph, BBC News.

:09:43.:09:46.

With all the sport, here's Mike Bushell

:09:47.:09:48.

After a week of pleasantries, the next time Anthony Joshua

:09:49.:09:57.

and Vladimir Klitschko come face to face, it will be in the ring

:09:58.:09:59.

and time for business tonight, when we see who can become

:10:00.:10:02.

the the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.

:10:03.:10:04.

Among the 90,000 watching at Wembley will be our man Olly Foster,

:10:05.:10:07.

Will it be youth or experience that prevails?

:10:08.:10:19.

It really is. Good afternoon. Anthony Joshua at the age of just

:10:20.:10:26.

27, he has only fought 18 times, he is unbeaten, but in the biggest

:10:27.:10:30.

fight of his career, big in so many ways because there are 90,000 here,

:10:31.:10:36.

a postwar record from boxing crowd. He is facing Wladimir Klitschko, the

:10:37.:10:39.

man at the top of his sport for so long, and he is convinced he can get

:10:40.:10:42.

back to the top. Let's hear from both fighters. Give me the

:10:43.:10:49.

challenges people want to see. If it takes me to bring the limelight back

:10:50.:10:52.

to British boxing and boxing globally, I will be the man at the

:10:53.:10:56.

forefront and represented properly. That is what I thrive on, what the

:10:57.:11:01.

people want, we will deliver. I don't think about being three times

:11:02.:11:08.

world champion. It is all about my ego that got a little scratched with

:11:09.:11:12.

the last fight, and I just want to show to myself that I can do it, I

:11:13.:11:18.

still got it. I know I can do it. Everything else is a positive

:11:19.:11:26.

side-effect. Dychko is 41 years old, he has fought 51 more fights than

:11:27.:11:34.

Joshua. Lennox Lewis things that Father Time will catch up on

:11:35.:11:40.

Klitschko tonight. Coverage starts at nine tonight. Thanks, Olly.

:11:41.:11:47.

Rangers are yet to win against the Scottish

:11:48.:11:52.

And it's not looking likely today, either.

:11:53.:11:54.

50 minutes gone, and Celtic now lead 3-0.

:11:55.:11:59.
