This is Outside Source, live from the EU Summit in Brussels, | :00:10. | :00:22. | |
Where we have had breaking news. Theresa May has confirmed that EU | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
citizens will be allowed to remain after Brexit is complete. It is the | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
Prime Minister's first appearance in Brussels since she lost a majority | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
in parliament after the recent election. | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
with renewed optimism, even to the point of leading | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
Who knows? You may say I am a dreamer, but I am not the only one! | :00:45. | :00:58. | |
Hello, BBC, how are you? I am fine. All the bloc's biggest | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
leaders are here - migration and jobs are all high | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
on the agenda. After a number of recent | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
terror attacks in Europe - including one here in Brussels | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
just two days ago - pressure will be on leaders | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
to combat the threat. If you have any questions, whether | :01:14. | :01:25. | |
on the breaking news about EU citizens in the UK, or about Brexit | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
in general, send it my way. Our contact details are on the screen | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
throughout the programme. In the last few minutes, we have | :01:35. | :01:56. | |
learned that UK Prime Minister Theresa May, whom we knew would be | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
speaking to other EU leaders about the issue of citizens' rights, well, | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
she said that EU citizens currently living in the UK will be allowed to | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
stay after Brexit, but she has rejected calls by the EU for a | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
European courts to oversee these rights. Let's bring in Damian, who | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
has been working on the story all day long. Tell us more. It is | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
interesting. Theresa May finished her breathing in the last few | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
minutes, so we have all been passed the details. In the past, she was | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
talking about a big and generous offer. What she has tabled, she | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
said, is a fair and serious offer, which I think when you look at it | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
will come in below the EU expectation, so this will be tricky. | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
Why is it coming in below expectations? There are several | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
areas of contention. The first, who will best apply to? She says it will | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
apply to any EU citizen living in the UK who is there lawfully. There | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
will be questions, and the devil will be in the detail. She says you | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
will be able to get a settled status. In UK law, I think that is | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
called a definite leave to remain. Will it apply to students, to | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
someone who is undocumented, to someone who is there not working but | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
caring for someone else, will it apply to their children? EU law says | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
the rights pass to your children. EU law says it will apply to your wife. | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
There are all sorts of people who would lose rights under this. | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
Another difficulty, who governs this. She has said British courts, | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
they have said EU court. And this is all with reference to EU citizens in | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
the UK, and I may be some watching right now. There are also people | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
across Europe watching on BBC World News thinking, where do we fit into | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
this? Good question. Theresa May says she wants reciprocal rights, | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
the same sorts of rights guaranteed for British people in Europe. The EU | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
has said it would be willing to guarantee full rights, the ones that | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
everyone has today, in perpetuity. The EU still has on the table an | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
offer that is higher and offers more rights further into the future. What | :04:17. | :04:26. | |
will this UK offer mean for UK citizens and what will the EU side | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
say about that? We don't know. Also, which rights? There are quite a few! | :04:30. | :04:38. | |
The right to work, the right to health care, to a pension and social | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
security benefits. The EU will want to look at that very carefully as | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
well. Thank you very much. If you get more details, please come back. | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
Significant developments here, with Theresa May confirming that EU | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
citizens currently in the UK will be able to remain after Brexit. As | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
Damian has just said, this is an issue that is far from being | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
resolved. If you're thinking, perhaps they are talking about it | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
now, they are not. Theresa May has left for the day, and it was always | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
made clear this would not be negotiated. Theresa May made that | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
this -- made a statement, there was no discussion. It will be picked up | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
by the negotiating teams. That will not happen at this summit. Brexit is | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
a big issue here at this EU summit, and it has been at every EU summit | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
since this time last year. There is a lot of discussion about | :05:32. | :05:55. | |
the border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. And | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
then there is the divorce Bill, the figure that the UK may have to pay | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
to get out of its long-term financial commitments to the | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
European Union. Some big issues to grapple with. Before we go further, | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
let me play you a little bit of what Theresa May told the BBC earlier. | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
I will set out today clearly how the United Kingdom proposes to protect | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
the rights of EU citizens living in the UK, and see the rights of UK | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
residents living in Europe protected. It has been an important | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
issue, and we wanted it to be one of the early issues considered in the | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
negotiations. That is now the case, that work is starting, and we will | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
step out -- set out how rights will be protected for EU citizens in the | :06:43. | :06:50. | |
United Kingdom. That was the Prime Minister arriving at the European | :06:51. | :06:51. | |
Council. President of the European Council | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
Donald Tusk appears to still be You hear different predictions | :06:56. | :07:09. | |
coming from different people about the possible outcome of these | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
negotiations. Hard Brexit, soft Brexit, or no Deal. Some of my | :07:16. | :07:22. | |
British friends have asked me whether Brexit could be reversed, | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
and whether I could imagine an outcome whether UK stays part of the | :07:30. | :07:38. | |
EU. I told than that in fact -- I told them that in fact the European | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
Union was built on dreams that seemed impossible to achieve. So, | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
who knows? You may say I am a dreamer, but I am not the only one! | :07:48. | :07:55. | |
Yes, that's right, Donald Tusk quoting John Lennon. He is hinting | :07:56. | :08:03. | |
that the UK could make a U-turn on this. Let's bring in Chris Morris, | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
who often helps us on European matters. Every time I mention that a | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
senior EU figure has even hinted that a U-turn might be a puzzle, | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
lots of viewers who support a Brexit come back and say, what are they | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
doing, this isn't helpful. If you are an EU leader and you are asked | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
at the door is still open, in a sense, it would make more news if | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
you said the door was completely closed. It was perhaps a deliberate | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
message being sent out to those who would like a slightly different type | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
of Brexit than the one being promoted by Theresa May. I'm not | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
sure it will be seen by all his EU colleagues as a helpful thing to say | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
at the moment, because a lot of them are saying, it has been one year | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
since the referendum, let's get on with it. Mr Tusk has his position | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
and he likes putting out these lines occasionally. I'm not sure there is | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
an expectation of a U-turn. I think most people think Brexit will | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
happen. The question is, what type of Brexit and under what conditions? | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
Picking up on that point, I was surprised to hear the Netherlands | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
Prime Minister saying earlier that it would be great to know exactly it | :09:12. | :09:19. | |
what kind of Brexit Britain wants. That's astonishing. And that was one | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
of the messages of the recent UK election. We still haven't come to a | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
determination about what kind of Brexit we want. Don't forget what | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
the question was in the referendum last year: Do you want to remain in | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
the EU do you want to leave? It did not discuss details of the single | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
market, customs union, soft or hard Brexit. One of the big things we | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
will see in the next few months, both within the UK Parliament and | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
within the Conservative Party, is manoeuvring proposition as people | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
try and decide what we are going to do for Brexit, and what bits of the | :09:57. | :10:04. | |
EU might we do business with. Critically, what kind of transition | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
to get us from where we are now to where we might be in the future? It | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
is all up for grabs. Politics in the UK has never been so fluid. We were | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
in pretty much the same spot a year ago just after Brexit, and the mood | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
here was not great, frankly. Contrast that with the message, and | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
from the new leaders of Ireland and France, and you wonder if things | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
have shifted. I wonder if you buy that, a fundamental shift? As you | :10:31. | :10:38. | |
say, president macro, and a new leader in Ireland, -- Emmanuel | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
Macron. There are some positive signs, even though the fundamental | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
architecture of the Eurozone still need quite a bit of work. There are | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
splits. In the response to Brexit, we saw genuine unity between the | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
other 27. I don't think I have seen quite that level of unity on any | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
other subject. There are other issues up legal rights, human | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
rights, on which you can see splits between some of the old countries in | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
Western Europe and the new countries in Eastern Europe. Emmanuel Macron | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
seems to be putting down markers in the sand to countries such as | :11:15. | :11:22. | |
Poland, saying this is a community values, and if we don't share values | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
in the future, it could become a problem. Chris, don't go far, I have | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
more questions. As have those of you watching. | :11:31. | :11:43. | |
If you want to contact us, our contact details are on screen. This | :11:44. | :11:52. | |
is where a lot of people who fundamentally believe in the idea of | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
the EU go about their work. I am in the European Council, just a couple | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
of hundred meters away from the European Commission, the civil | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
service of the EU, and very close to one of the European Parliaments as | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
well. What is interesting is that leader after leader arriving today | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
was emphasising that we're not just here to talk about Brexit, and far | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
from it. The issues that they raised as priorities: Migration - there are | :12:18. | :12:24. | |
still many thousands of people coming into the EU - and how the EU | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
discourages people from doing that or manages them when they arrive is | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
still a pressing issue. Then there is defence and security. There are | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
regular terror attacks in the EU at the moment. And there are lots of | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
questions about how the EU organises defence. Then there is the economy - | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
jobs and growth getting a lot of emphasis. Let's bring Chris back in | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
on the issue of the fence, because I think people in the UK will be quite | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
surprised to see the EU moving so far so fast on this. There are many | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
issues, but one of them on which the UK has held back the rest of the EU | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
has been defence. For years, the UK has been the country saying, we have | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
Nato, we don't need more integrated structures at EU level. It is | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
duplication and a waste of money, and we are not comfortable with it. | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
With the UK on the way out, we think, then it means that the big | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
impediment to moving forward on European defence cooperation has | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
gone, and Germany and France are particularly keen on it. We have | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
seen movement and we will see movement over the course of the rest | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
of this year as well. I think it is something that will be significant. | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
Jean-Claude Juncker said today that most of the research and development | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
was done at national level, and why are we doing that in a union of 28, | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
soon-to-be 27, countries? There are things that we could do together to | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
save money and resources, and produce better results. Why do we | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
have 19 different types of tank when we could have one or two? We will | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
come back to you in a minute. I have got a message saying: Is Nigel | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
Farage there? I saw him walking in and asked him what he made of how | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
Brexit is going. He said, it was a terrible idea to have that election. | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
The decision has been taken and now it is being undermined. He is in | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
Brussels, still a member of the European Parliament. Keep the | :14:25. | :14:25. | |
questions coming. Safety officials are carrying out | :14:26. | :14:34. | |
urgent checks on hundreds of high rise buildings across the UK | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
to ensure there is no repeat of the fire which spread | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
through Grenfell Tower. Seven residential blocks in four | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
local authority areas have been found to have cladding | :14:45. | :14:46. | |
which could catch fire. Panels are already being removed | :14:47. | :14:48. | |
from some high rise Dozens of MPs questioned | :14:49. | :14:50. | |
the Prime Minister about the issue in the Commons this morning, | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
including this intervention Was cladding of the type used in | :14:57. | :15:09. | |
Grenfell Tower compliant with the fire safety and building regulations | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
applicable at the time when the refurbishment was undertaken - yes | :15:16. | :15:23. | |
or no? They are testing the cladding on the building, and they expect to | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
make the results of this public in the next, I think, in the next 48 | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
hours. This is Outside Source, | :15:32. | :15:42. | |
live from the BBC newsroom. Theresa May has said in the last few | :15:43. | :16:03. | |
minutes that she will allow EU citizens living in the UK for five | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
years the right to stay, but she has rejected the EU call for the | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
European Court to oversee those rights. | :16:11. | :16:19. | |
Let's take a break from European politics and talk about American | :16:20. | :16:21. | |
politics. The US Senate has finally revealed | :16:22. | :16:23. | |
its plan to replace Obamacare. This has been largely fashioned by | :16:24. | :16:36. | |
the Republicans. Let's begin by hearing Senator Mitch McConnell. | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
We agree on the need to free Americans from Obamacare's policies. | :16:42. | :16:49. | |
We will repeal it so that Americans are no longer forced to buy | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
insurance that they don't need or can't afford. We will repeal the | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
employer mandates that Americans no longer see their hours and take home | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
pay cut by employers because of it. We agree on the need to improve the | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
affordability of health insurance and policies contained in the | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
discussion draft will do that. We will eliminate costly Obamacare | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
taxes that are passed onto consumers so we can put downward pressure | :17:17. | :17:23. | |
premiums. And this is the perspective from the Democrats. | :17:24. | :17:30. | |
The Senate Republican bill is a wolf in sheep's clothing. We are | :17:31. | :17:38. | |
potentially voting on it in one week. No committee hearings, no | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
amendments in committee, no debate on the floor, save for ten measly | :17:45. | :17:51. | |
hours on one of the most important bills we are dealing with in | :17:52. | :17:52. | |
decades. Hi, Laura. I think some people were | :17:53. | :18:03. | |
expecting some bigger changes to this Bill? I think a number of | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
people were wondering what kind of draft would come out, and what we | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
have seen is basically quite similar to what the House of Representatives | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
came out with. There are some key changes. The cats that the House | :18:18. | :18:29. | |
proposed to Medicaid, the system for the poorest in America -- beat cuts | :18:30. | :18:38. | |
to that are not as deep and they roll-out over a longer period, so | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
they will eventually bite, which is one of the concerns of health groups | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
and Democrats, who say there will be a tax cut for the wealthy in the US. | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
The reason they are cutting back taxes because that is what fun is | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
the Affordable Care Act. They are cutting taxes for the wealthy, and | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
yet the poorest in America, who require health care, might not get | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
the care they need under this bill, and that is the main criticism you | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
are seeing from the Democrat side. And is this a done deal, Bora? | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
Earlier in the year, there were a rather -- there were other efforts | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
that fell down because the Republicans couldn't get their | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
numbers together. Well, well, we will have to wait and see. One of | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
the reasons why this has all been drafted behind closed doors is to | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
stop the controversy that has dogged Republicans over this key campaign | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
pledge. They simply cannot agree, and when it comes to this bill, it | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
is no different. You have already had those from the far right saying | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
this does not go far enough, that this is Obamacare - light. Then you | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
have more moderate conservatives saying that this goes too far and | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
made cut health care for women. When it comes to those two sides, they | :19:56. | :20:02. | |
will have to reconcile. -- it may cut health care for women. The | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
Congressional budget office will look at this Bill, an independent | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
body, and try to figure out how many Americans will lose health care. | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
Under the previous draft, they said 23 million Americans. So, early next | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
week, expect that score, and that could come the whole vote. Laura, | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
thanks for taking us through that. I am live that the EU Council. | :20:28. | :20:41. | |
Theresa May has just announced that EU citizens who have been in the UK | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
for five years will be able to remain beyond the point of Brexit. | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
This is a place unlike any other that I have reported on. It is vast, | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
like a rabbit warren, there are various speeches and events relating | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
to the different leaders who are here. | :21:00. | :21:00. | |
I've spent the day walking around this building, | :21:01. | :21:02. | |
speaking to the EU's leaders and trying to get answers from them. | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
There is a new building and a new red carpet here, and it affords all | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
the leaders more time to think about whether they want to stop for those | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
of us gathered to ask questions, or not. Chancellor Merkel, BBC News - | :21:18. | :21:24. | |
can Brexit be done in two years? What are you hoping to hear from | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
Theresa May later? Are you satisfied with the | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
cooperation you're getting from the UK on security measures? I hope to | :21:34. | :21:41. | |
keep a good relation with the UK for security, but also for the future of | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
Europe. This is the cafeteria where you see journalists and sometimes | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
politicians. Last year, just over there, Nigel Farage bought a pint of | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
beer and was enjoying celebrating Brexit. He is not in a mood to | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
celebrate since the last UK election result. If you come over here and we | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
leave the journalists behind, as you head through, you can see there are | :22:05. | :22:06. | |
rooms where people are working, but all over, we're left with things | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
like this, which give us the indicated programme for the media | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
and briefings we can expect. This is the press bit at the European | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
Council - absolutely huge, full of journalists from all over the EU. On | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
the screens, we have feeds coming in from press conferences that are | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
happening. That is the president of the European Parliament, whom I | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
spoke to earlier. And there is a big huddle in the middle of this floor, | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
where politicians will give briefings to journalists. That press | :22:43. | :22:49. | |
conference I just showed you a pretty sure was taking place in the | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
main conference rooms. It is in this room here for stop Jean-Claude | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
Juncker, president of the European Commission, and Donald Tusk, | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
president of the European Council. It is from the press conferences | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
that the politicians come up the stairs and back out into the press | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
bit on the way to their cars. So, this little walkway is really | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
important. I will be doing Outside Source from here, and if you're | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
lucky, politicians might pass by as you are reporting an stop a | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
conversation. Hello, how are you? I am fine. You said you don't have | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
illusions in politics, but do you have dreams that perhaps Brexit may | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
not happen? That is a decision from people to take, but not me. What | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
about staying in the single market? We will see in the course of the | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
negotiations. That was Jean-Claude Juncker speaking to me earlier. We | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
have an awful lot of questions. Let's work through them with the | :23:51. | :23:57. | |
help of Chris Morris. Paula is watching and saying, without | :23:58. | :23:59. | |
details, this brings no clarity and adds nothing to the vague statements | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
of last year with reference to the EU citizens in the UK. We are still | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
short on quite a lot of detail, aren't we? Yes, we are. We have had | :24:08. | :24:18. | |
a more details omission from the EU side. -- a more detailed submission. | :24:19. | :24:29. | |
One question is, what would be the legal basis on which these rights | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
would be guaranteed? The EU side wanted to be the European Court of | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
Justice, whereas Mrs May and the Government have said they don't | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
think the ECJ should play that role. There are other questions still | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
unanswered, and we may see more detail when these things are made | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
public on Monday, but what happens to family members outside the UK at | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
the moment and the descendants of people given this new settled | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
status? Don't forget, this is just a British proposal, not the end of the | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
line. Arguably, the proposal from the EU as it stands is more generous | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
than what we have heard from Theresa May. Raj says, are the rules from | :25:09. | :25:15. | |
migration at the moment the same as they have ever been? Nothing will | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
change until the day the EU leaves. As long as the UK is a member of the | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
EU, and this phrase has been repeated a lot, it enjoys the same | :25:26. | :25:28. | |
rights and responsibility, which means that free movement continues | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
until the day we leave, and until we know what is in a transition period, | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
and even possibly a little longer beyond that. Just to remind you | :25:38. | :25:44. | |
watching, this was not a regular dinner. Theresa May has introduced | :25:45. | :25:51. | |
this idea, but the EU have been clear that they would not discuss | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
this at the dinner this evening. That will wait for the formal | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
discussions between the UK and the EU. Keep the questions coming and we | :26:01. | :26:03. | |
will get back to them in the next 30 minutes. | :26:04. | :26:10. |
