:01:31. > :01:33.gun on an EU referendum But discussions have been beset
:01:34. > :01:38.by delays with several EU nations unhappy over plans to curb migrant
:01:39. > :01:42.benefits and change EU regulations. One official described
:01:43. > :01:43.the situation as "critical". Let's join Christian Fraser,
:01:44. > :01:59.who is in Brussels for us. Good evening. Welcome back to
:02:00. > :02:03.Brussels. In the course of the next hour we are expecting the 28 EU
:02:04. > :02:07.leaders to return to the council building. We are watching the big
:02:08. > :02:10.screens behind us. Finally they will go into their second working
:02:11. > :02:14.session. It was supposed to be what was dubbed a British working
:02:15. > :02:17.breakfast and then it became a lunch and now it is a dinner and we are
:02:18. > :02:20.told by the Polish representatives who briefed us in the last few
:02:21. > :02:30.minutes that they are closing in on a deal. They expect to have an
:02:31. > :02:33.agreement by midnight tonight. But still, even at this late stage,
:02:34. > :02:36.there are hurdles to overcome and we must take what we are being told
:02:37. > :02:38.with some caution. We could go late into the night and into the early
:02:39. > :02:41.hours of the morning. We've seen leaders going away from the building
:02:42. > :02:45.in the course of a last few hours, to get some rest. It is been the
:02:46. > :02:49.lawyers and lyrical advisers poring over the text, trying to find a way
:02:50. > :02:55.throughout the political interests. We have even seen a picture of Anglo
:02:56. > :02:59.Merkle in a chip shop in Brussels trying to get food and tried to get
:03:00. > :03:03.her mind of the negotiations ongoing. No rest for David Cameron,
:03:04. > :03:07.he has remained in the building and there has been a series of bilateral
:03:08. > :03:10.meetings with the Czech Prime Minister, the Dutch Prime Minister,
:03:11. > :03:14.the Danish Prime Minister, he is pulling out all the stops to try and
:03:15. > :03:26.get a agreement. Let's hear from our European editor. Out of the car and
:03:27. > :03:29.into the ornate's nest. One that he stirred up yesterday. I was here
:03:30. > :03:32.till Friday in this party working through this and we made some
:03:33. > :03:36.progress but there are still no deal. As I said, I would only do a
:03:37. > :03:42.deal if we get what Britain's needs. We will get back in there and I will
:03:43. > :03:47.do everything I can. Instead of healing a UK deal does morning...
:03:48. > :03:56.The Prime Minister found himself in a grinding new world of talks. He
:03:57. > :04:02.had told the wife and kids, he said, there could be some delay. A case of
:04:03. > :04:06.laughing on the outside, not so happy on the inside. The Prime
:04:07. > :04:11.Minister had promised to battle for Britain at the summit but the truth
:04:12. > :04:15.is, after so many weeks and months of subtle diplomacy, travel,
:04:16. > :04:19.meetings, selling his reform deal to leaders across Europe, he didn't
:04:20. > :04:28.expect such a strong pushback on such a number of issues from so many
:04:29. > :04:31.countries around the table here. The proposal currently on the table
:04:32. > :04:37.doesn't satisfy all parties. We haven't finished yet. Digging his
:04:38. > :04:41.heels in, the Hungarian Prime Minister, along with other Central
:04:42. > :04:46.and eastern Europeans, is toughing it out over cuts to DU migrant
:04:47. > :04:50.benefits. The French president has remained tight-lipped about
:04:51. > :04:56.protections for the UK from the Eurozone legislation. The Belgians
:04:57. > :05:00.and others opposed treaty changes to write Britain out of the deal of
:05:01. > :05:03.ever closer union and then there is the Greek Prime Minister. He
:05:04. > :05:08.hijacked this old so public opportunity to do some hard
:05:09. > :05:13.bargaining. Help me with migrant arrivals and I will not stand in the
:05:14. > :05:17.way of a British deal, he said. There is a will to get the deal done
:05:18. > :05:22.here so 28 world leaders can get back to other pressing concerns. We
:05:23. > :05:25.keep hearing about big gaps appearing between the countries on
:05:26. > :05:32.big issues. They have been going on for months. How can be suddenly be
:05:33. > :05:35.resolved? I do believe that each and every country pursues their national
:05:36. > :05:42.interest. This is very logical. But at the end we all have to understand
:05:43. > :05:47.that, if Great Britain leaves the EU, we all get nothing. There is an
:05:48. > :05:51.element of smoke and mirrors here. All parties feel the need to be seen
:05:52. > :05:56.to stand their ground. That is why proceedings are taking so long. It's
:05:57. > :06:03.becoming clear that it's not only the British Prime Minister who comes
:06:04. > :06:07.to do battle in Brussels. Some very interesting comments this evening
:06:08. > :06:11.from the French president who of course spent in the opposite corner
:06:12. > :06:16.to David Cameron. He has said on French radio tonight, we must not
:06:17. > :06:19.give in to blackmail, but that British are asking David Cameron to
:06:20. > :06:23.help them and I am trying to do all I can. One interesting thing he
:06:24. > :06:28.raised was the issue of the treaty which Britain and France sign
:06:29. > :06:31.together in 2003, meaning Britain is a letter to conduct its border
:06:32. > :06:40.controls on the French side rather than on the uke K -- UK side. You
:06:41. > :06:45.might remember the premises that, if Britain votes leave, it might return
:06:46. > :06:49.to the UK side and we might see more migration into the UK. The French by
:06:50. > :06:52.Minister was asked about that and he said there were ongoing negotiations
:06:53. > :06:56.with the UK on this issue but if we open our border, there will only be
:06:57. > :06:59.more migrants come to France. That has been the French Government
:07:00. > :07:03.position throughout, even though they are under pressure from the
:07:04. > :07:08.mayor in Calais to return those border checks to the UK side.
:07:09. > :07:11.Interesting for the leave camp that the French president seems to be
:07:12. > :07:17.ruling out the prospect for the moment. As is normal at these EU
:07:18. > :07:20.summits, on the 28 countries get together and one or two of them
:07:21. > :07:25.through extra cards into the middle of the table and a couple Kate 's
:07:26. > :07:28.the negotiations. Our political editor has been examining the major
:07:29. > :07:33.sticking points here for you leaders.
:07:34. > :07:36.From the moment it joined the European community more than 40
:07:37. > :07:40.years ago, Britain has had a troubled relationship with Brussels.
:07:41. > :07:43.The Prime Minister after Prime Minister and the yapping conflict
:07:44. > :07:50.with their European counterparts. And no, no! David Cameron hopes his
:07:51. > :07:55.reforms will reset that relationship for good with what he calls a new
:07:56. > :07:59.settlement. Above all, the Prime Minister hopes to do deter migrants
:08:00. > :08:04.coming from the EU by limiting the benefits they can claim while
:08:05. > :08:08.working and those they send home to their children. The deal will see
:08:09. > :08:12.migrants having their tax credits phased in over four years and their
:08:13. > :08:15.child benefit reflecting the cost of living in their own countries.
:08:16. > :08:20.Critics say this will not make a difference. Sadly I think it is a
:08:21. > :08:24.pantomime, what is been offered to us, moderate changes on this but if
:08:25. > :08:28.it were formed, subject to change the order Parliament, possibly
:08:29. > :08:32.overruled by the European Court. What is is a missed opportunity to
:08:33. > :08:37.go for a really different relationship. The Prime Minister is
:08:38. > :08:40.also looking to protect the City of London from financial decisions made
:08:41. > :08:46.by euro zone countries as it begins a integrate their economies more
:08:47. > :08:49.closely. The deal does include new safeguards to ensure financial
:08:50. > :08:53.markets outside the Eurozone are not treated unfairly, but there is
:08:54. > :08:56.uncertainty about who decides when the safeguards are triggered. Mr
:08:57. > :09:02.Cameron wants the House of Commons here to have greater powers to club
:09:03. > :09:06.together with other European parliaments and block EU laws. That
:09:07. > :09:09.is achieved, EU governments will have to think again if more than
:09:10. > :09:14.half of EU parliaments opposing the proposal. Element that help the
:09:15. > :09:16.Prime Minister will bring substantial reforms, the fact that
:09:17. > :09:20.these negotiations are taking time shows that the issues are serious. I
:09:21. > :09:24.believe if you can, right and will be better off and it performed EU,
:09:25. > :09:28.but we will have to await the outcome. Above all, the Prime
:09:29. > :09:33.Minister wants some of these reforms to be written into the EU treaties
:09:34. > :09:37.and be made more legally binding. In particular he wants his plan to
:09:38. > :09:40.offer Britain out of more political integration to be written into EU
:09:41. > :09:45.law, something many countries oppose as unnecessary. Even though there
:09:46. > :09:50.was no deal tonight, campaigning has already begun for the referendum
:09:51. > :09:53.that is to follow. Three years ago, David Cameron promised fundamental
:09:54. > :10:00.and far-reaching change. The question now is whether he has met
:10:01. > :10:03.that promise. Just in case you are under the
:10:04. > :10:07.illusion that they are all getting on fine in that room upstairs, I
:10:08. > :10:14.will read you a couple of messages we have had from negotiators who are
:10:15. > :10:20.party to the discussions. A foreign affairs minister with the Czech camp
:10:21. > :10:24.says, at the time passes, I am or perplexed of the British approach of
:10:25. > :10:28.non-negotiation, quite unorthodox to say the least. This from the Slovak
:10:29. > :10:33.Prime Minister, who says someone brought this issue to the European
:10:34. > :10:38.agenda, it is as far as I am concerned home political affairs. If
:10:39. > :10:41.that country would be a small country, it would be smacked and
:10:42. > :10:45.asked to leave but in this case it is a big country, the UK, and you
:10:46. > :10:50.know my opinion about a small dog and a big dog in politics. Some
:10:51. > :10:53.quite scathing remarks from the sidelines of the summit this
:10:54. > :10:58.evening. Clearly the frustrations are rising in the room. Europe wants
:10:59. > :11:01.to on the death of the bigger issues, they think they are being
:11:02. > :11:07.forced to talk about what is for in a domestic agenda. Let's get a view
:11:08. > :11:12.on that. We can talk to the former Prime Minister of Italy, he joins us
:11:13. > :11:16.on the line. Mr Marty, good evening. I know you have a lot of experience
:11:17. > :11:19.of summits like this. What you make of the last two comments I have made
:11:20. > :11:24.therefrom some of the smaller countries? The frustration boiling
:11:25. > :11:30.over the British position? Yes, there is frustration in a way
:11:31. > :11:34.understandable. I think more generally I remember when I was
:11:35. > :11:42.still in office, still the Prime Minister, and David Cameron called
:11:43. > :11:49.me to announce I believe it was his Amsterdam speech in early 2013 about
:11:50. > :11:57.calling one day a referendum. Now that move turns out to be in
:11:58. > :12:03.retrospect a political miscalculation because what seemed
:12:04. > :12:07.at the time might have been a sort of bilateral negotiation between the
:12:08. > :12:16.UK and the rest of the EU, three years later it turns out to be a
:12:17. > :12:20.really very complicated multilateral negotiation because the EU is for a
:12:21. > :12:27.number of reasons a much more fragmented entity. So Mr Cameron in
:12:28. > :12:36.his speech could not even remotely imagine that three years later he
:12:37. > :12:43.would be confronted with the reactions of the countries on
:12:44. > :12:50.welfare treatment, the reactions of the Greek Prime Minister seizing
:12:51. > :12:54.this opportunity to make sure that the other members of the EU to not
:12:55. > :13:02.block the border with Greece and so forth. So I am not sure that in
:13:03. > :13:07.retrospect Mr Cameron believes it has been a very good idea. We are
:13:08. > :13:11.hearing from the number ten camp tonight that it has been a very ugly
:13:12. > :13:16.day. We do not think they enjoyed it one bit. It is interesting you raise
:13:17. > :13:20.that issue about then and now. There are some people in the room,
:13:21. > :13:25.European counterparts, saying, the David Cameron really expect to have
:13:26. > :13:29.this renegotiation? Back then he was in coalition, perhaps he didn't
:13:30. > :13:34.expect to win the election. Maybe he didn't expect for this to be on his
:13:35. > :13:37.plate. Here it is, he has to have this negotiation and now he's going
:13:38. > :13:44.to have to have that vote later in the year which might have very
:13:45. > :13:52.serious repercussions. Yes, I think it was a well meant intention but it
:13:53. > :14:00.played out a bit like a speculative political bats and now he sees the
:14:01. > :14:06.downside of that bet. I still hope that there will be an agreement,
:14:07. > :14:12.that Mr Cameron will be able to sell it convincingly to the British
:14:13. > :14:19.people, that the UK will stay in the European Union, which I believe is
:14:20. > :14:26.in the overall interests of the UK and EU and I would pray for Mr
:14:27. > :14:36.Cameron to avoid going down in history with a legacy of having at
:14:37. > :14:42.the same time fragmented the EU by leaving the EU and fragmented the UK
:14:43. > :14:46.by having Scotland leaving the UK, that would be the terrible scenario.
:14:47. > :14:53.So I hope for all of us and for him that we are not going to that.
:14:54. > :14:57.So I hope for all of us and for him Before I let you go, Mr Monti, Scher
:14:58. > :15:02.is an anecdote or two of your time here in Brussels during the summit.
:15:03. > :15:05.They go late into the night, you need real stamina. What goes on in
:15:06. > :15:10.the room? Can you remember things that went on when you were here that
:15:11. > :15:17.would surprise a few people at home? Yes, particularly I remember one
:15:18. > :15:30.night, the night between 20 eight and 29th of June of 2012 when we had
:15:31. > :15:39.a very tense Eurozone summit, which ended at 4:30am in the morning and
:15:40. > :15:46.where I am happy to say it was possible in initiative which was led
:15:47. > :15:57.by the Italian Prime Minister, so every member it very well, to allow
:15:58. > :16:01.the German Chancellor to finish and the Dutch Prime Minister to accept
:16:02. > :16:08.some vegetables of trivialization in the bond markets that was a very
:16:09. > :16:17.critical turning point because it paved the way for the famous
:16:18. > :16:25.announcement about doing what it takes and the journalists that noted
:16:26. > :16:33.during that evening and at night there was another interesting
:16:34. > :16:46.Germany versus Italy game that was in the semifinals of the European
:16:47. > :16:54.cup and Italy came out winning! So you won twice over! Very good. It
:16:55. > :16:57.was very good of you to join us this evening. We are grateful for your
:16:58. > :17:01.time, for sharing some of those thoughts with us. Thank you very
:17:02. > :17:09.much indeed. The former Prime Minister, Mr Monti. You're watching
:17:10. > :17:10.BBC News. That was all of the latest developments in Brussels. Let's
:17:11. > :17:12.review some other news now. A senior figure of so-called Islamic
:17:13. > :17:15.state - thought to be linked to last year's attacks on tourists
:17:16. > :17:17.in Tunisia - is believed to have been killed by American airstrikes
:17:18. > :17:19.in neighbouring Libya. An IS training camp in Sabratha,
:17:20. > :17:22.around 70km west of Tripoli, US officials said it was "likely"
:17:23. > :17:26.that the strikes had killed the senior Tunisian extremist
:17:27. > :17:29.linked to the beach attack Here's our security
:17:30. > :17:33.correspondent Frank Gardner. Flattened by a US air
:17:34. > :17:37.strike early this morning. This is all that remains
:17:38. > :17:41.of what Washington said was an Islamic State
:17:42. > :17:45.training camp in Libya. US Air Force warplanes
:17:46. > :17:47.carried out the raid, flying from RAF
:17:48. > :17:52.Lakenheath in Suffolk. Britain's Defence
:17:53. > :17:54.Secretary personally Their main target was
:17:55. > :18:07.a Tunisian jihadist. He has been linked
:18:08. > :18:13.to two terror attacks including one in Sousse
:18:14. > :18:18.which killed 38 tourists. We took this action against Sabir
:18:19. > :18:22.after hearing that he and others This morning's Libby attack
:18:23. > :18:31.was the most significant It took place here at Sabratha
:18:32. > :18:35.in a camp to the west A lot of most of those
:18:36. > :18:44.killed were North Africa One of those is said to have played
:18:45. > :18:49.a major role in the terror attacks Yet IS's main strength
:18:50. > :18:57.is concentrated around Sirte Recruits continue to come
:18:58. > :19:04.in from North Africa and It will take rebuilding the state,
:19:05. > :19:12.strengthening the authorities and making sure that training
:19:13. > :19:14.camps like this But this is the reality
:19:15. > :19:22.in much of Libya now. A country awash with arms,
:19:23. > :19:24.competing militias, no rule of law and no functioning
:19:25. > :19:26.central government. Libya is fast emerging
:19:27. > :19:28.as Islamic State's second The Pulitzer Prize winning
:19:29. > :19:38.author Harper Lee - She was best known for her
:19:39. > :19:44.classic novel the bestseller Lee, who was from Alabama,
:19:45. > :19:50.published the book in 1960 and it would be another 55 years
:19:51. > :19:53.until she released her second Our reporter looks
:19:54. > :20:11.back at her life. She did something that
:20:12. > :20:25.in our society is unspeakable. The character Atticus Finch was the
:20:26. > :20:27.moral heart of this story of racism, injustice in childhood and board
:20:28. > :20:36.many similarities with her own father. It is a sin to kill him
:20:37. > :20:40.mocking bird. And Harper Lee was also something of a tomboy. She
:20:41. > :20:45.studied law for a while but then decided to write. Her inspiration
:20:46. > :20:48.was a life in Monroeville in Alabama and the turbulent fight for civil
:20:49. > :20:51.rights. It was the town that witnessed the case of a black man
:20:52. > :20:58.murdered after being accused of being brewed to a white woman. His
:20:59. > :21:05.killers went free. Defang the defendant guilty as. It radiates
:21:06. > :21:12.through the book, described as the nation's novel. 50 years on, she was
:21:13. > :21:18.still given awards. I have my work cut out for me for the next 15
:21:19. > :21:23.years. One, raced novel. But the writing, as you can see from this
:21:24. > :21:28.letter, she had planned a series of novels but her friend said it was
:21:29. > :21:32.hard to do with the reaction to Mockingbird. I think what it really
:21:33. > :21:39.began to snowball and then it really began to snowball to the top of the
:21:40. > :21:53.mountain, I wonder if it sneaked up on her after a while. Whether it
:21:54. > :21:58.overwhelmed her. So the arrival of the second book more than 50 years
:21:59. > :22:03.later was more than unexpected. The manuscript had been locked away for
:22:04. > :22:07.years, it had been written before the killing mockingbird. It was an
:22:08. > :22:11.instant bestseller but it wasn't to kill him mocking Bird. A million
:22:12. > :22:17.copies a year is still sold. Generation after generation have
:22:18. > :22:20.been moved by Harper Lee's story of justice, decency and setting up for
:22:21. > :22:29.what was right. She did really didn't need to write another word.
