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 | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
the last few days I'm not sure we can say anything is a certainty. It | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
is the intention of the UK to leave and it is the intention of the UK -- | :24:54. | :25:00. | |
EU to honour that. That's all for now. | :25:01. | :25:04. |
