:11:18. > :11:24.live there for five years. How did you get back to Afghanistan? They

:12:15. > :12:18.full wish list in writing that we have heard from the European Council
:12:19. > :12:21.president and the matters because he represents all the other 27 EU
:12:22. > :12:26.countries who have two agree to these reforms if they are to be
:12:27. > :12:31.passed. He said they will be tough, really tough. We know there will be
:12:32. > :12:35.some difficulties, particularly with the prime Minster's ideas to curb
:12:36. > :12:41.the new migration to the UK but we also note that the EU wants to keep
:12:42. > :12:44.the UK in but perhaps there is an element of these leaders wanting to
:12:45. > :12:48.give David Cameron the fight they know he needs to silence critics
:12:49. > :12:53.back home. Donald Tusk also said that there were no guarantees on a
:12:54. > :12:56.decision by the reforms by next month and that brings us back to
:12:57. > :13:00.migration. It is not Britain in or out of the EU that is the burning
:13:01. > :13:07.issue here for European leaders, it is the migration crisis. Many
