Welcome back. There was an extraordinary scene earlier. The 27

:00:20.:00:28.

countries of the EU met without the UK being present. Our main story

:00:29.:00:32.

comes from Turkey where officials are saying at least 41 people lost

:00:33.:00:40.

their lives in that attack at the airport in eastern bowls. One of the

:00:41.:00:43.

people who witnessed the attack told the BBC what they saw. I walked

:00:44.:00:49.

around the corner into the main terminal and just a sea of people

:00:50.:00:54.

running, chipping and police with guns drawn. There have been a range

:00:55.:01:00.

of phrases used to tell the UK that once it is out of the EU -- EU it

:01:01.:01:05.

will not be able to cherry pick from an a la carte menu if it wants to be

:01:06.:01:11.

in the single market. It will be interesting to see how the UK

:01:12.:01:15.

Government response. A British qualifier at Wimbledon

:01:16.:01:21.

-based Roger Federer but he didn't quite make it. -- faced Roger

:01:22.:01:25.

Federer. Alan is watching and he says if we

:01:26.:01:53.

haven't triggered Article 50 how come they didn't invite us today and

:01:54.:01:59.

a few of you has asked this. It was not a formal summit. If it was, then

:02:00.:02:04.

David Cameron would have had to be here. To date, what is called an

:02:05.:02:12.

informal summit happened and then it is appropriate given the

:02:13.:02:15.

circumstances and the UK's decision to leave for the 27 countries to

:02:16.:02:20.

come together. I've spent the last couple of days in the press pit of

:02:21.:02:26.

the European Council and thousands of journalists are covering this.

:02:27.:02:30.

Three are joining me now to discuss what we've seen. We have three

:02:31.:02:45.

journalists or correspondence. Lots to digests but what would you pick

:02:46.:02:51.

out as the most significant thing. For me, it was when damp -- David

:02:52.:02:57.

Cameron was asked if he was saddened if he regrets his decision. He said

:02:58.:03:04.

he didn't regret it but he is sad. All the journalists looked at each

:03:05.:03:11.

other and said it must have been hard as it was the end of his

:03:12.:03:17.

European experience. For me, I thought the president of the

:03:18.:03:21.

European Commission was lucid on Tuesday saying, I'm not a robot or

:03:22.:03:27.

bureaucrat. I'm allowed to have feelings about the European

:03:28.:03:31.

referendum. He was defending his right to hold the place as president

:03:32.:03:34.

of the European Commission to lose a of the European Commission to lose a

:03:35.:03:41.

member and the second largest economy. He was fighting for his

:03:42.:03:47.

life and his job saying, I deserve this. Some of the things he said

:03:48.:03:52.

were almost rant like so I was shocked to see that, especially as

:03:53.:03:58.

an American where our leaders asked expected to appear strong and not

:03:59.:04:04.

emotional. For me it is more personal. I am reminded standing

:04:05.:04:08.

here on Friday morning and the feeling of meeting which is people

:04:09.:04:15.

and journalists who were in tears. I met one man in his 30s who was

:04:16.:04:19.

crying. We went into the press conference at 12 o'clock. It was a

:04:20.:04:26.

highly charged and highly emotional atmosphere. British officials here

:04:27.:04:31.

who will be out of a job... The reality is hitting home. Some people

:04:32.:04:36.

said they would be never out of a job. A lot of people said Brexit

:04:37.:04:44.

would never happen. What happened today was interesting. Cameron said

:04:45.:04:51.

yesterday... It was constructive and polite but as soon as he was gone it

:04:52.:04:57.

was different. No more room for sentiment or emotion. The talk was

:04:58.:05:01.

tough amongst the 27 remaining emotion -- members. I agree. They

:05:02.:05:07.

are questioning whether article 50 will ever be triggered and how long

:05:08.:05:14.

can they be -- deal with uncertainty before they had to apply pressure

:05:15.:05:18.

themselves? We had to wait until there is a new Prime Minister, but

:05:19.:05:22.

what does that do to the rest of Europe and their stock markets and

:05:23.:05:26.

their political situations? Will they be less generous if Britain

:05:27.:05:31.

puts them on hold? A lot of people were saying it was quite dramatic

:05:32.:05:38.

but in another sense it was quite subdued. The EU will be strategic.

:05:39.:05:45.

They will give the UK time. They will not talk about treaty change.

:05:46.:05:48.

That will be something for September. It's quite clever. Let it

:05:49.:05:56.

play out in autumn and then look forward to next March and the

:05:57.:05:59.

anniversary of the Treaty of Rome and then you may see some grand

:06:00.:06:04.

picture of Europe. For now, just need to calm down. And then there is

:06:05.:06:12.

the Franco German plan. And other countries who have their own idea

:06:13.:06:16.

about what the EU should be like and for that it is more about internal

:06:17.:06:21.

market integration. Several officials as saying the answer is

:06:22.:06:27.

more integration. Then I speak to Polish representatives who say it is

:06:28.:06:31.

a terrible plan and you will a neonate people who aren't convinced

:06:32.:06:35.

about the EU. What he Belgian by ministers said was that we should

:06:36.:06:41.

stop kidding ourselves and stop being hypocrites. 28 or 27 countries

:06:42.:06:48.

of the EU will never have the same view of the European project. Whilst

:06:49.:06:55.

Belgian is the founding father -- father of the EU and it is in favour

:06:56.:07:00.

of those countries who really want to get more integration and go

:07:01.:07:03.

further within the European project should do so and others will... So a

:07:04.:07:17.

two track system? Even Angola Merkel was careful with her language and

:07:18.:07:20.

she realises it's not the time to talk about more Europe. We will see

:07:21.:07:26.

every tank street take a different position. -- country. Lots of

:07:27.:07:34.

countries echoed each other about giving Britain time and then France,

:07:35.:07:39.

Belgium and Luxembourg say we need more clarity. The effort in the next

:07:40.:07:45.

few months will be to have some semblance of unity while it plays

:07:46.:07:48.

out and then maybe have a debate later in the year. There's also a

:07:49.:07:54.

difference between the three institutions. The president is

:07:55.:07:57.

saying let us load Danny give the breathing room. Then the commission

:07:58.:08:03.

and Parliament say if you don't do something we'll put something

:08:04.:08:10.

forward to pressure you. You wonder about the judgment. Schultz said

:08:11.:08:17.

that we must invoke article 50 but everyone knew it would not happen so

:08:18.:08:21.

we wonder about that reaction. It is impetuous. But this week it was more

:08:22.:08:28.

calm. They are fighting about who will lead the discussion. The

:08:29.:08:33.

commission of the council so you will see recurring until we get some

:08:34.:08:41.

clarity. And when your cup was speaking in the parliament he said

:08:42.:08:46.

he warn the commission is not to go bilaterally with any country and

:08:47.:08:51.

that is interesting -- the EU Commissioner. No one must do deals

:08:52.:08:56.

on their own. There was a member on Tuesday saying that they are not

:08:57.:09:01.

allowed to go to the UK even. We could talk about this all evening

:09:02.:09:03.

and we probably will. I appreciate and we probably will. I appreciate

:09:04.:09:10.

your time. One person earlier said... I asked if the ban on

:09:11.:09:19.

discussions was real or just for PR and they said it is for real and it

:09:20.:09:24.

will not start until article 50 is triggered. Some questions here. More

:09:25.:09:30.

of you saying why is the UK not sitting on the council meeting

:09:31.:09:34.

today, but I explained it is an informal summit so it could be

:09:35.:09:41.

convened without breaking any regulations. It was appropriate not

:09:42.:09:46.

to invite the UK will stop if it had been a formal summit and the UK is

:09:47.:09:51.

always has to be invited. One always has to be invited. One

:09:52.:09:57.

happening in Scotland. The majority happening in Scotland. The majority

:09:58.:10:02.

of Scots wrote -- voted to remain in the UK and the majority of people in

:10:03.:10:09.

the UK voted out. 62% of Scots wanted to remain which has caused

:10:10.:10:15.

political tension. Nicola Sturgeon says it's outrageous and something

:10:16.:10:20.

needs to be done. She's been in Brussels or day and she spoken to

:10:21.:10:26.

the press. For my part, I've emphasised that Scotland voted to

:10:27.:10:30.

remain part of the European Union and I have a duty as First Minister

:10:31.:10:35.

to respond to and to seek to find a way to get effect to this will. If

:10:36.:10:42.

there is a way for Scotland to stay I am determined to try and find that

:10:43.:10:49.

way. Right now, we are in uncharted territory and none of this is easy.

:10:50.:10:57.

But my task is to try and bring some principle, purpose and clarity and

:10:58.:11:01.

seek to speak for the people I am elected to represent, the people of

:11:02.:11:05.

Scotland. We are very early in this process. The referendum is not yet a

:11:06.:11:11.

full week behind us and it has been a long week for all of us. My

:11:12.:11:15.

concern at this stage is to ensure that once the UK negotiations with

:11:16.:11:20.

the EU starts then all of the options are on the table. I don't

:11:21.:11:26.

underestimate the challenges, but I have been heartened today that I

:11:27.:11:30.

have found a willingness to listen. But there has been strong language

:11:31.:11:34.

on where Scotland fits in to discussions here. Listen to the

:11:35.:11:45.

acting Spanish Prime Minister. TRANSLATION: The Spanish government,

:11:46.:11:48.

and I'm sure on this we agree with everyone else is against negotiating

:11:49.:11:53.

with anyone else other than the government of the UK and the rest

:11:54.:11:56.

are internal problems between the UK and the others. And radically

:11:57.:12:01.

against it and the Treaty is and I'm sure everyone is against this. If

:12:02.:12:06.

the UK leaves during the negotiation whenever Italy's, Scotland also

:12:07.:12:15.

leaves the EU institutions. -- whenever it leaves. Lots more

:12:16.:12:20.

coverage on Scotland's situation through the BBC News app. Let us

:12:21.:12:24.

take a break from diplomacy and policy and talk about sport. It's

:12:25.:12:29.

the first week of Wimbledon and you suspect that Marcus Willis will not

:12:30.:12:35.

forget today in a hurry. A British tennis player ranked 772 in the

:12:36.:12:39.

world, the lowest ranking player to get to the second round of Wimbledon

:12:40.:12:45.

for years. His opponent was Roger Federer and it proved a hurdle to

:12:46.:12:46.

far. No one was going to overshadow

:12:47.:13:03.

Marcus Willis's day. The world rank outsider up against the world number

:13:04.:13:07.

three in the second round of these championships. A special moment for

:13:08.:13:13.

him to savour but a step too far as Roger Federer's quality told. He

:13:14.:13:19.

booked his place in the third round. It was business as usual for Novak

:13:20.:13:23.

Djokovic, the defending champion, as he came through in straight sets

:13:24.:13:33.

also. That match finished as Novak Djokovic but his place in the next

:13:34.:13:37.

round. The number three seed came through her match. She was up

:13:38.:13:45.

against the Ukrainian. This was their first round match and she came

:13:46.:13:49.

through in straight sets also. A former finalist and many predicted

:13:50.:13:54.

she could go far in this tournament. All eyes on the weather on day four

:13:55.:13:58.

of these championships as we look to see what the rain will do on the

:13:59.:14:03.

conclusion of a number of matches due to be finished on these outside

:14:04.:14:08.

courts. Centre court has a roof so plenty of action there on day four.

:14:09.:14:13.

No football today at the Euros but things get going again in France

:14:14.:14:20.

tomorrow. Portugal against Poland on Thursday.

:14:21.:14:29.

Not getting easy to accept the England result! It's a funny old

:14:30.:14:42.

sport, Tim, because none of these teams have stamped their 30 on it.

:14:43.:14:47.

I've been trying to forget Iceland since Monday so thank you for that!

:14:48.:14:53.

It has been a tournament for the underdogs with outstanding

:14:54.:14:57.

performances from Northern Ireland, angry and Iceland, of course. I tell

:14:58.:15:02.

you who else is pretty cheery and that is the Welsh football fans as

:15:03.:15:05.

their side is through to the last eight and they play Belgium on

:15:06.:15:11.

Friday night. A nation without a major tournament in years and now

:15:12.:15:16.

one match away from the semifinals. Real Madrid man has been their

:15:17.:15:22.

staff. I think it's our time to shine. The only home nation left in

:15:23.:15:27.

the competition which is an amazing achievement in itself. The game

:15:28.:15:34.

against Northern Ireland was an ugly game, not suited to us I guess. To

:15:35.:15:41.

play badly and not to win... Well, not bad but to have an ugly game and

:15:42.:15:45.

win shows our team spirit and character. We are very happy, and

:15:46.:15:49.

proud and we will fly the flag of Wales proud.

:15:50.:15:55.

What a performance from him serve. Three goals and he's enjoyed first

:15:56.:16:00.

place for the Golden Boot, but he had to get the dig in about being

:16:01.:16:06.

the last home nation in with Iceland embarrassing England. The first

:16:07.:16:09.

quarter pine up takes place on Friday evening at. Portugal haven't

:16:10.:16:15.

won a match during normal time in this tournament.

:16:16.:16:20.

Thank you. One viewer says he's confused about Scotland's status.

:16:21.:16:32.

Nicola Sturgeon can hold talks at the but they are not formal talks

:16:33.:16:37.

about Scottish membership of the EE. The EU says that would be

:16:38.:16:44.

inappropriate. Another asks from the Netherlands, if article 50 isn't

:16:45.:16:47.

going to be triggered till September what happens now? The short answer

:16:48.:16:54.

is not that much. In terms of the exit process, everything pauses

:16:55.:16:58.

until article 50 is triggered. In a few minutes we have a report from

:16:59.:17:05.

jubilant. People there voted in huge numbers to stay in the European

:17:06.:17:10.

Union and now they were are worried -- Gibraltar.

:17:11.:17:17.

The number of families in temporary housing is that his highest in more

:17:18.:17:22.

than five years with more than a million in England and Wales on cars

:17:23.:17:23.

or housing waiting lists. Healthcare assistant Natasha,

:17:24.:17:27.

and Henry, just turned nine. A small family overwhelmed

:17:28.:17:30.

by a giant housing crisis. At the same time,

:17:31.:17:35.

it's our dining table. Two of them now sharing four

:17:36.:17:41.

walls, one room, one bed. Among thousands now in

:17:42.:17:48.

temporary accommodation. We first met Natasha

:17:49.:17:53.

when she was facing eviction from her West London

:17:54.:17:57.

flat six months ago. A working mum who fell

:17:58.:17:59.

behind on her rent. The council says it's tried to help

:18:00.:18:01.

but the few places on offer are too expensive or too

:18:02.:18:05.

far away from her job. I can't sleep because

:18:06.:18:09.

of the situation. How can a human being who's working,

:18:10.:18:13.

earning money, you don't It may be centred on London, but

:18:14.:18:17.

this is a national housing crisis. With soaring rents, benefit cuts

:18:18.:18:27.

and, now, more than a million people waiting for council houses

:18:28.:18:30.

which simply aren't there. The response is often crisis

:18:31.:18:35.

management, fire fighting, a sticking plaster on the symptoms

:18:36.:18:37.

of a wider housing crisis caused The people who are paying the price

:18:38.:18:41.

are ordinary families. Families like Hayley's,

:18:42.:18:47.

stuck in a temporary one-bedroom flat for more than a year

:18:48.:18:51.

with four children. The council house waiting list

:18:52.:18:55.

makes grim reading. Here, it's two rooms

:18:56.:18:59.

for five people. Hayley, originally from

:19:00.:19:09.

South Africa, was working. But divorce meant eviction,

:19:10.:19:11.

unemployment and then, this place. The council says it is

:19:12.:19:16.

trying to help her. I don't feel anybody

:19:17.:19:18.

thinks I'm important. It is a crisis which will have

:19:19.:19:28.

a profound impact on many young lives as they grow up

:19:29.:19:33.

with no place to call home. Jeremy Cooke, BBC News,

:19:34.:19:37.

London. Welcome back. We are live by the

:19:38.:20:02.

European in Brussels. Our lead story comes from Turkey where authorities

:20:03.:20:06.

say at least 41 died in an attack at the airport. There is a day of

:20:07.:20:11.

national mourning being called as well.

:20:12.:20:16.

This is a boot for those who claim the UK can thrive outside the EU.

:20:17.:20:22.

The FTSE 100 has recovered to the level it was that before the vote to

:20:23.:20:24.

leave the EE. -- TEU. Let us can to Gibraltar. It gave us

:20:25.:20:38.

the first result after voting in the referendum and it was pretty much

:20:39.:20:44.

the only bit of good news for the Remain campaign. 96% of voters in

:20:45.:20:49.

Gibraltar said they wanted to stay in the EU and when you look at the

:20:50.:20:54.

geography you can perhaps understand why. There are now concerns amongst

:20:55.:21:00.

residents that the UK exiting the EU could affect the delicate

:21:01.:21:02.

relationship Gibraltar has with Spain. We have been to Gibraltar to

:21:03.:21:08.

meet some of those people. meet some of those people.

:21:09.:21:16.

If there's one part of the UK that definitely, definitely doesn't want

:21:17.:21:19.

to leave the European Union it is this. Less than ten miles from the

:21:20.:21:24.

coast of North Africa Gibraltar voted overwhelmingly for Remain.

:21:25.:21:30.

There are people living on the rock and 823 of them is only said they

:21:31.:21:36.

wanted to leave the EU. Gibraltar is more pro-European men anywhere in

:21:37.:21:43.

Britain. Newsnight has learned that Gibraltar's government is working on

:21:44.:21:47.

a plan to stay in the EU and it's looking for allies. In his first

:21:48.:21:52.

broadcast interview since the referendum the territory's Chief

:21:53.:21:56.

minister told us he was talking to Scotland's Nicola Sturgeon about

:21:57.:22:01.

various options. There are different formulas out there and this is like

:22:02.:22:05.

a kaleidoscope that has not scared -- settled. One thing may be the

:22:06.:22:11.

formula Denmark used in the 70s to strip out a part of the territory

:22:12.:22:15.

that doesn't want to stay part of the EU but the member state is still

:22:16.:22:22.

find as Greenland -- Denmark there were no longer includes Greenland. I

:22:23.:22:24.

can imagine some member states of can imagine some member states of

:22:25.:22:28.

the UK are stripped out and others remain so we don't have two apply

:22:29.:22:33.

again for access but simply remain with the axis we have. Those parts

:22:34.:22:36.

that Labour given a different sort of access which is negotiated, but

:22:37.:22:43.

not necessarily under article 50. Gibraltar and Scotland may stay --

:22:44.:22:48.

share a desire to stay in the EU but on the subject of the UK they

:22:49.:22:53.

differ. People in Gibraltar want to remain part of Britain. Immediately

:22:54.:22:58.

after the referendum, Spain raised the issue of shared sovereignty. The

:22:59.:23:03.

Spanish flag on the rock is closer than it was before the Foreign

:23:04.:23:09.

Minister said. That is anathema to almost anyone here. London has

:23:10.:23:16.

reiterated its commitment to Gibraltar, but the Foreign Secretary

:23:17.:23:18.

said the interests of the territory here will be harder to protect

:23:19.:23:24.

outside the EU. Anyone who thinks this is a time to proposed joint

:23:25.:23:29.

sovereignty or if they think they will gain a millimetre is wrong.

:23:30.:23:35.

They shouldn't waste their breath. 10,000 Spanish workers crossing to

:23:36.:23:39.

Gibraltar every day. They and the Gibraltarians have been reassured

:23:40.:23:43.

that nothing will change for now. But the reality is that at the

:23:44.:23:47.

moment no one knows how exit will play out here.

:23:48.:23:53.

Three questions to end the programme. One viewer asks if...?

:23:54.:24:05.

All the leaders of the 27 EU states say they want to be in. Jess says,

:24:06.:24:15.

what is does David Cameron have to leave? He says it is the

:24:16.:24:18.

responsibility of a new Prime Minister to oversee that process so

:24:19.:24:22.

he will lead the country for the next couple of months but the hard

:24:23.:24:26.

work will be done by the new Prime Minister. Another asks if Brexit is

:24:27.:24:31.

a certainty? Certainly the number of people who voted for it will hope

:24:32.:24:36.

so. All the officials I've spoken to here at the EU are working on the

:24:37.:24:39.

assumption it will happen and the message they want to centre the UK

:24:40.:24:44.

is that they want it to happen soon. Frankly, given what we've seen over
