:00:19. > :00:21.anything in a rush, but with good will and hard work,
:00:22. > :00:23.we can get a better deal for Britain.

:01:04. > :01:17.will have lunch. And it never happens, and it is all gone.
:01:18. > :01:26.A very warm welcome to you. David Cameron says he is battling Britain
:01:27. > :01:31.as he tries to negotiate a new deal for Britain's relationship with EU.
:01:32. > :01:35.The Prime Minister has spent the day meeting other EU leaders at a summit
:01:36. > :01:41.in Brussels, where he said with hard work, he could win a better deal for
:01:42. > :01:44.Britain. The president of the European Commission said that he was
:01:45. > :01:48.confident that a deal could be reached, but with big disagreement
:01:49. > :01:51.is looming over access to welfare and other issues, let's cross live
:01:52. > :01:58.now to our correspondent in Brussels. Good evening and welcome
:01:59. > :02:01.to Brussels. Somewhere in this building, there are 28 leaders now
:02:02. > :02:07.poring over a draft document that has been put before them by the
:02:08. > :02:12.European Council leader. It is the three baskets of reform David
:02:13. > :02:15.Cameron is looking for. The press room is alive with speculation. In
:02:16. > :02:20.the last hour or so, we have had some idea of what is happening in
:02:21. > :02:24.the room. It was David Cameron who made the opening marks. He has been
:02:25. > :02:28.telling European colleagues that we have already come a long way with
:02:29. > :02:33.this renegotiation. They have solved many differences, but is about time,
:02:34. > :02:38.she said that Britain's place in Europe was to find once and for. He
:02:39. > :02:42.said Britain's position has been allowed to fester. He said this was
:02:43. > :02:46.the chance to settle it for the next generation. He also made the point
:02:47. > :02:51.that although he is trying to get some clearer language on the union,
:02:52. > :02:55.he is not opposed to other countries seeking that political integration,
:02:56. > :02:59.further economic integration. It is just that Britain, he says, once a
:03:00. > :03:05.different model and those who want that should be allowed to. Really,
:03:06. > :03:10.it is a message of live and let live. There are great differences at
:03:11. > :03:14.the moment in the text, still some square brackets on the important
:03:15. > :03:19.issues, such as child benefit in particular. Some real concerns among
:03:20. > :03:23.Eastern European countries. Also concerns from the French about what
:03:24. > :03:27.sort of mechanism Britain would have to protect itself from the decisions
:03:28. > :03:32.at the 19 countries of the Eurozone are taking. Remember that Britain
:03:33. > :03:36.stands outside the euro zone. An awful lot to discuss. David Cameron
:03:37. > :03:40.told reporters earlier he brought plenty of shirts. He expects the
:03:41. > :03:44.negotiations to go along into the night and possibly into tomorrow.
:03:45. > :03:50.But when he finally emerges, he hopes to have a document that will
:03:51. > :03:51.allow him to fire the gun on the referendum campaign.
:03:52. > :04:04.The Prime Minister wants 27 other politicians to agree to his terms.
:04:05. > :04:08.We've got some important work to do today and tomorrow and it's
:04:09. > :04:14.If we can get a good deal, I'll take that deal,
:04:15. > :04:17.but I will not take a deal that doesn't meet what we need.
:04:18. > :04:21.I think it's much more important to get this right than to do
:04:22. > :04:25.But with good will, with hard work, we can get a better
:04:26. > :04:29.Mrs Merkel wants to help make it happen now.
:04:30. > :04:37.TRANSLATION: I'll do everything to keep the UK.
:04:38. > :04:40.Agreement is possible, but no country has the right
:04:41. > :04:54.Those dramas could derail the process, or it least drag
:04:55. > :05:04.The Prime Minister wants to change the EU rules,
:05:05. > :05:09.new regulations to protect the city, before giving you the choice to vote
:05:10. > :05:24.But can the Prime Minister bring everyone together?
:05:25. > :05:26.Inside the gathered ranks, there is still disagreement on how
:05:27. > :05:29.long the UK should be able to limit benefits,
:05:30. > :05:33.and whether it is fair for any new rule to apply only to us.
:05:34. > :05:37.But across town, his opponents accuse him of making all this fuss
:05:38. > :05:42.Well, he's brought an internal Conservative Party dispute
:05:43. > :05:45.to international proportions, so he is running around Europe
:05:46. > :05:49.trying to get people's support here and they are not very keen
:05:50. > :05:53.They may well end up with some kind of agreement,
:05:54. > :05:56.which he will represent as a victory.
:05:57. > :06:03.And anger over the proposed deal goes way beyond these brave souls
:06:04. > :06:09.There are plenty of Eurosceptics, MPs and ministers among
:06:10. > :06:15.Conservatives, and politicians ready to attack.
:06:16. > :06:17.and free trade, but we can't have that as members
:06:18. > :06:29.But tonight, Number 10 is adamant this whole project can
:06:30. > :06:32.and will deliver a new and improved EU.
:06:33. > :06:35.Their negotiators believe this is the moment.
:06:36. > :06:37.There are so many countries, so many complications involved,
:06:38. > :06:43.This is the best chance David Cameron has of getting
:06:44. > :06:49.a new deal for the UK with the rest of the Union.
:06:50. > :06:52.but there is no guarantee the terms would get any better,
:06:53. > :06:58.so his political future could be determined tonight.
:06:59. > :07:01.Brave or foolhardy, this journey has seen the Prime Minister striking out
:07:02. > :07:07.Who he can take with him in the next few hours will shape
:07:08. > :07:18.Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, Brussels.
:07:19. > :07:25.On nights like this, it is worth reminding people of the structure of
:07:26. > :07:29.the EU and how decisions are taken. The European leaders who are sitting
:07:30. > :07:33.upstairs for the European Council. The council is the highest level of
:07:34. > :07:37.political cooperation within Europe. They set the direction of travel and
:07:38. > :07:42.once they reach agreement, and it must have agreement of all 28
:07:43. > :07:45.countries, then it is up to the executive of the European Commission
:07:46. > :07:53.to come out with some legislation, to propose legislation, and then the
:07:54. > :07:56.European Parliament will debate and put that legislation into action. Mr
:07:57. > :08:00.Cameron needs not only the support of the 28, he needs the support of
:08:01. > :08:05.the commission and he also needs the support of the European Parliament.
:08:06. > :08:10.On Tuesday he was here lobbying the president of the parliament. Let's
:08:11. > :08:14.listen to what he had to say. I do not belong to those who urged
:08:15. > :08:20.the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom to call for the referendum,
:08:21. > :08:25.that is for sure. But the question is served, the referendum is fixed.
:08:26. > :08:31.If this is a good idea or a bad idea, it is not what we have to
:08:32. > :08:36.discuss about. I will do the utmost to convince citizens in the UK to
:08:37. > :08:41.vote to stay in, because I believe that we need each other. The United
:08:42. > :08:48.Kingdom and the European Union. We are stronger with the United
:08:49. > :08:52.Kingdom. Well, in Laura's package, you heard the thoughts of Nigel
:08:53. > :08:55.Farage. I spoke to him today and he is quite scathing about what is in
:08:56. > :08:58.this document. It is not what the paper it is written on, he says,
:08:59. > :09:04.because the underlying it will be the parliament that un-pics at all.
:09:05. > :09:10.And that is shared by Ukip's sole MP. He has been talking to BBC about
:09:11. > :09:14.his disdain the document. Some sort of deal has been done, but it is not
:09:15. > :09:19.really a great deal, because we haven't asked for much. Take a step
:09:20. > :09:23.back. At the time of the Bloomberg speech, David Cameron said he would
:09:24. > :09:29.seek out fundamental, fire reaching reform. He clearly has not. Not even
:09:30. > :09:36.supporters pretend this amounts to much. He promised us he was going to
:09:37. > :09:40.seek treaty change. He has not. He promised he would return powers back
:09:41. > :09:47.from Brussels. Not a single power is being transferred. Clearly, a deal
:09:48. > :09:50.has been done, but it is pretty thin gruel, you might say. I don't think
:09:51. > :09:54.this is really going to impress many voters in the run-up to the
:09:55. > :09:58.referendum. We are starting to see some very encouraging movement in
:09:59. > :10:03.the polls, the momentum is with the Leave campaign. Yes, we can do this.
:10:04. > :10:07.There is a growing realisation that we do not need to be in a political
:10:08. > :10:13.union in order to trade with Europe. Europe faces enormous economic,
:10:14. > :10:18.technological challenges. The safer thing to do is if we take back
:10:19. > :10:22.control and I think people are beginning to realise that actually,
:10:23. > :10:27.David Cameron's EU deal does not add up and we will be better off if we
:10:28. > :10:33.took back control and didn't have to send ?350 million to Brussels every
:10:34. > :10:36.week. Look at what David Cameron is negotiating and compare it with what
:10:37. > :10:40.he said at the outset. He claimed he would get treaty change. There is no
:10:41. > :10:45.treaty change. He claimed there would be a transfer power back from
:10:46. > :10:50.Brussels but not a single power has been transferred back. Again and
:10:51. > :10:53.again, David Cameron has watered down his demands and even the
:10:54. > :10:58.mediocre and Mikey is asking for it doesn't really add up much. There is
:10:59. > :11:02.no fundamental, fire reaching reform. People are waking up to that
:11:03. > :11:07.and I think people realise that we can leave the EU and trade freely
:11:08. > :11:13.with the European Union. If we do that, we will get the best of all
:11:14. > :11:17.worlds. Douglas Carswell, the Ukip MP setting out some of the thoughts
:11:18. > :11:20.of the Leave campaign. Also setting out some of the challenges that
:11:21. > :11:24.David Cameron will face when he returns to Britain with this
:11:25. > :11:28.document. You get the impression talking to people in the UK that he
:11:29. > :11:32.cannot afford to water down any more at the document as it stands. He is
:11:33. > :11:36.going to fight for everything that they have in the draft text. We have
:11:37. > :11:44.had some briefings from different camps in the last few minutes. It
:11:45. > :11:46.tends to happen that certain members of negotiating teams come out to
:11:47. > :11:49.brief journalists. One German diplomat was talking about the
:11:50. > :11:52.agenda and how long they might go into the night. He said I hope the
:11:53. > :11:58.Getty Gilberts that satisfies Mr Cameron, but I cannot bet we get it
:11:59. > :12:01.today. We're not 100% happy with everything in the text, but overall
:12:02. > :12:08.we can find agreement. He went on to say that it is other countries that
:12:09. > :12:12.have bigger problems, the likes of Poland and Romania. We're talking
:12:13. > :12:16.about work benefits and the challenges of child benefit that Mr
:12:17. > :12:19.Cameron wants to index to the countries that the families and
:12:20. > :12:23.children live in. Let's try to understand a bit of
:12:24. > :12:27.that vertical context in Europe's major capitals as David Cameron
:12:28. > :12:31.tries to persuade his European counterparts. Any moment we will
:12:32. > :12:39.hear from our corresponded in Berlin and one in Budapest, but first, here
:12:40. > :12:46.is our correspondent in Paris. Here in Paris, the real concern is
:12:47. > :12:50.in the -- isn't benefits for migrants, but rather, protecting the
:12:51. > :12:54.euro. David Cameron wants to ensure the euro zone countries cannot gang
:12:55. > :12:58.up on the UK, but the French president is concerned this would
:12:59. > :13:02.mean giving the City of London and on the advantage. France is still
:13:03. > :13:06.struggling with high unemployment and the president will be seeking a
:13:07. > :13:10.real election next year. He certainly does not want to come home
:13:11. > :13:15.looking like a loser. He has got to be seen to be sticking up for French
:13:16. > :13:20.interests. The French are particularly opposed to the idea of
:13:21. > :13:25.an a la carte Europe. We do not like cherry picking. One minister
:13:26. > :13:30.famously said you cannot come to a football game and expect to play
:13:31. > :13:38.rugby. Ultimately, France wants Britain to remain in, just not at
:13:39. > :13:42.all costs. Germany's position has not changed.
:13:43. > :13:47.It wants Britain in the EU and right now Angela Merkel is arguably David
:13:48. > :13:52.Cameron's greatest ally. She has voiced support for some of his
:13:53. > :13:56.ideas. She has said in the run-up to the summit that national
:13:57. > :14:00.parliaments, not Brussels, should be responsible for protecting those
:14:01. > :14:04.systems against abuses. She has also spoken about ever closer union,
:14:05. > :14:08.saying that whilst nothing should stand in its way, individual member
:14:09. > :14:12.states should also not be obliged to follow that level of integration
:14:13. > :14:17.every step of the way. So broad support from Germany. Worth
:14:18. > :14:22.remembering Mrs Merkel's red lines. She will not budge on them. That
:14:23. > :14:27.includes non-discrimination against EU citizens. As far as Mrs Merkel is
:14:28. > :14:32.concerned, they are non-negotiable, so interesting to see how much
:14:33. > :14:36.Germany is prepared to concede. Also remember there is a degree of every
:14:37. > :14:42.patient at public and political level here in Germany that David
:14:43. > :14:46.Cameron is choosing to raise this at a time when the refugee crisis is
:14:47. > :14:48.threatening to tear Europe apart. In the words
:14:49. > :14:53.threatening to tear Europe apart. In broadcaster, David Cameron is
:14:54. > :14:56.playing a dangerous poker game. Here in Hungary and the other
:14:57. > :15:02.central European countries, known together as the Visscher grabbed
:15:03. > :15:05.four, the main concern is to ensure its citizens have equal rights in
:15:06. > :15:10.Britain and elsewhere in the union. What that seems to mean in practice
:15:11. > :15:15.is that they might be willing to accept curbs on benefits for
:15:16. > :15:18.Hungarian, polls, Czechs and Slovaks working in Britain provided these
:15:19. > :15:23.are only applied to new arrivals, not the hundreds of thousands
:15:24. > :15:26.already there. And that these restrictions are phased out
:15:27. > :15:30.gradually as workers contribute to the national economy, they should
:15:31. > :15:35.also be able to claim benefits, they argue. The Government is also what
:15:36. > :15:39.guarantees that citizens of non-EU countries do not suddenly have more
:15:40. > :15:44.rights than they do on the British job market. Other British demands,
:15:45. > :15:49.especially for stronger powers, for a national parliament and safeguards
:15:50. > :15:53.against what some see as the groin powers of Brussels dovetail neatly
:15:54. > :16:02.with their own policies. -- growing powers of Brussels. At last,
:16:03. > :16:06.everyone has to take them seriously. Nick Thorpe in Budapest. You do get
:16:07. > :16:12.the impression it is those for, namely Poland, the Czech Republic,
:16:13. > :16:18.Slovakia and Hungary that might pose David Cameron the biggest problem.
:16:19. > :16:27.Let's bring in our political corresponded. We started to get a
:16:28. > :16:31.feel for how it is going. What are you hearing's so far the tone from
:16:32. > :16:36.the EU leaders has been fairly positive. They were saying look, I
:16:37. > :16:41.think we will get agreement here. It might require compromise, but we
:16:42. > :16:42.want the UK to stay within the EU. We are hearing via Twitter people
:16:43. > :16:46.are saying it was a constructive We are hearing via Twitter people
:16:47. > :16:50.session. David Cameron was setting out where he sucks renegotiation was
:16:51. > :16:52.session. David Cameron was setting at. He was effectively trying

:17:06. > :17:11.beef about a particular issue, for example, Poland and Hungary on
:17:12. > :17:14.payments to migrant workers. We have got this tract
:17:15. > :17:15.payments to migrant workers. We have which is where the officials are
:17:16. > :17:18.trying to hammer out some legal details while the leaders
:17:19. > :17:23.resolve some of the political detail. That'll go round the table
:17:24. > :17:28.again tomorrow Mike with the hope of getting some deal, but what we are
:17:29. > :17:34.hearing so far is that we are not at that stage yet. Armies of lawyers in
:17:35. > :17:40.this building. I was making Albany remarks about David Cameron's speech
:17:41. > :17:44.to the summit where he said Britain has to have a codified place within
:17:45. > :17:49.Europe. It has to be put down in text what Britain is to Europe. I
:17:50. > :17:52.think those in the remaining camp in Britain might have some sympathy
:17:53. > :17:56.with that. What you have got at the moment is a situation where Britain
:17:57. > :18:00.does already have a specific relationship with the European Union
:18:01. > :18:03.which differs to some other member states, with its own particular
:18:04. > :18:07.exemptions. There is a recognition that Britain's approach has been
:18:08. > :18:15.different over a long period of time. This is not new. The problem
:18:16. > :18:18.the David Cameron is that while people have sympathy with that
:18:19. > :18:20.notion and want Britain to remain in the EU, but under its own terms, the
:18:21. > :18:25.problem is there are plenty around the EU table who think why should
:18:26. > :18:28.Britain have its own special deal? The president of the European
:18:29. > :18:33.Parliament said earlier on that what is it about Britain that makes it
:18:34. > :18:37.special? The point Mr Cameron makes is that shouldn't just be one size
:18:38. > :18:42.fits all in Europe. There is a recognition across the EU that it is
:18:43. > :18:47.moving into different directions. There are countries which want to
:18:48. > :18:50.progress towards a deeper political and economic union. What's David
:18:51. > :18:54.Cameron is trying to secure is some sort of guarantee that the UK will
:18:55. > :18:58.not be sucked further into that. The problem is how do you do that
:18:59. > :19:02.without leading to some sort of contagion, other countries wanting
:19:03. > :19:06.their own parameters. That is the fear of some readers. Not just
:19:07. > :19:10.specific demands from other member states, but that this could perhaps
:19:11. > :19:14.lead to another referendum across the EU. This is a union facing big
:19:15. > :19:18.difficult complex issues on the economy, the migration crisis and
:19:19. > :19:23.the message from the readers is that this is a tapered unity, not
:19:24. > :19:26.division. David Cameron is trying to get this deal to satisfy the
:19:27. > :19:31.sceptics back home, the British public and his own cabinet. We might
:19:32. > :19:36.be in for a long night. I think that is guaranteed. Thank you very much.
:19:37. > :19:41.The first session has broken up. Now they go into some of those issues
:19:42. > :19:44.over dinner, particularly the migrant crisis. It does Aberdeen to
:19:45. > :19:50.Britain because there is concern here about the flow of migrants to
:19:51. > :19:55.Europe. It does pertain to Britain. The Greek Prime Minister in
