:00:15. > :00:18.summit in Brussels. I will be looking at what David Cameron has
:00:19. > :00:24.set out to achieve in this negotiation and what he might get.
:00:25. > :00:29.European leader years have been arriving for what has been billed as
:00:30. > :00:32.another late-night session with written's future in the European

:01:07. > :01:10.After all of the bilateral meetings and negotiations that have gone on
:01:11. > :01:17.over 36 hours at this summit the 26 leaders have met for a working
:01:18. > :01:22.dinner, they will be there for two or three hours, and we hear from our
:01:23. > :01:27.European correspondent that there is another text in front of him. They
:01:28. > :01:33.will look at that, I believe there are some hurdles to overcome, but a
:01:34. > :01:38.lot of optimism that a deal can be done. Words from some European
:01:39. > :01:41.leaders that they are not going to let David Cameron leave Brussels
:01:42. > :01:45.without a deal in his hands so clearly still concerned that Britain
:01:46. > :01:51.might vote to leave the European Union. They are trying to give David
:01:52. > :01:56.Cameron as credible deal as they can offer him so they can go back -- he
:01:57. > :02:01.can go back to Downing Street and he can meet with his government and
:02:02. > :02:05.fired the starting gun for the referendum campaign. It has been a
:02:06. > :02:10.hard day for David Cameron, meeting a lot of European leaders, so let's
:02:11. > :02:14.get a full round-up from Katya Adler.
:02:15. > :02:18.Out of the car and into the hornet's nest that he stirred up yesterday.
:02:19. > :02:22.I was here until five o'clock this morning working through this
:02:23. > :02:26.and we've made some progress but still no deal and as I said
:02:27. > :02:30.I will only do a deal if we get what Britain needs so we will do
:02:31. > :02:36.some more work in there and I will do everything I can.
:02:37. > :02:39.Instead of hailing an EU deal this morning, the Prime Minister found
:02:40. > :02:47.himself in a grinding new whirl of talks.
:02:48. > :02:57.He said he had told the wife and kids there could be some delay,
:02:58. > :03:01.a case of laughing on the outside, not so happy on the in.
:03:02. > :03:03.He had promised to battle for Britain but the truth
:03:04. > :03:08.is, after so many weeks and months of shuttle diplomacy,
:03:09. > :03:11.travelling, meeting, selling his reform deal to European
:03:12. > :03:14.leaders, he didn't expect such strong pushback on so many issues
:03:15. > :03:20.from so many countries around the table here.

:03:23. > :03:39.Digging his heels in, the Hungarian Prime Minister along
:03:40. > :03:42.with other central and eastern Europeans is toughing it out over
:03:43. > :03:45.The French President has remained tight-lipped about protections for
:03:46. > :03:50.Belgium and others opposed treaty change to exclude Britain from ever
:03:51. > :03:56.closer union and then there is the Greek Prime Minister,
:03:57. > :03:58.who hijacked this oh so public opportunity to do
:03:59. > :04:02.He said, "Help me with migrant arrivals and I won't stand
:04:03. > :04:14.There is a will here to get this done so 28 world leaders can get

:04:23. > :04:30.I do believe that every country pursues their national interest
:04:31. > :04:34.and this is logical but we all have to understand that if Great Britain
:04:35. > :04:41.There is an element of smoke and mirrors here.
:04:42. > :04:44.All parties feel the need to be seen to stand their ground,
:04:45. > :04:46.that is why proceedings are taking so long.
:04:47. > :04:49.It is becoming clear that it is not only the British Prime Minister
:04:50. > :05:03.One of the greatest stumbling blocks in these negotiations over the past
:05:04. > :05:07.day has been trying to find agreement with East European
:05:08. > :05:12.countries about the benefit payments that David Cameron wants to reform
:05:13. > :05:18.for migrants already living in the UK. He wants to freeze for four
:05:19. > :05:25.years, or this is where he set out from, in work payments paid to
:05:26. > :05:30.migrants, top ups paid by the state onto their salary. He wanted to
:05:31. > :05:35.reform child benefit by linking benefits sent overseas to Poland or
:05:36. > :05:38.Slovakia, linking that to the standard of living in those
:05:39. > :05:43.countries, and that has proved quite a tough one to get past the Eastern
:05:44. > :05:47.European countries. He is under pressure not to water down the
:05:48. > :05:52.position from where he started and tonight we got quite an interesting
:05:53. > :05:53.tweet from the foreign affairs representative for the cheque
:05:54. > :06:18.government. -- Czech government. Earlier I asked
:06:19. > :06:22.him what he made of the talks. It has been two tough days and nights,
:06:23. > :06:28.we finished this morning about five and we were back at ten. If there is
:06:29. > :06:34.no deal we are crazy but I also believe that we managed to find good
:06:35. > :06:40.compromises. Will the talks be a rubber stamping exercise or are
:06:41. > :06:44.there still talks to be had? We had about 20 or 25 meetings during the
:06:45. > :06:48.day so we managed to have all of the details. In about 20 minutes it will
:06:49. > :06:56.be the first time we have the whole text again so we will read through
:06:57. > :06:59.it, making sure nothing slipped, but if things are done properly in the
:07:00. > :07:07.text in the discussion could be over in an hour or two. In one of your
:07:08. > :07:13.tweets today you said, as time passes I am more and more Plextor by
:07:14. > :07:23.the British approach of non-negotiation, quite to say the
:07:24. > :07:27.route least. -- -- per Plextor. Everybody has set out his ground,
:07:28. > :07:32.that is what we would expect yesterday afternoon. What was
:07:33. > :07:40.strange was that during the day we heard the same position from the UK
:07:41. > :07:45.again and again. Refusing to bend? Refusing to bend when everybody else
:07:46. > :07:49.was trying to find compromises. He was tougher than expected. Everybody
:07:50. > :07:54.believed he would try to find compromises but in the end he let
:07:55. > :08:02.the others do the compromise, which was probably clever negotiation, but
:08:03. > :08:10.it also led to some of these distractions, let's say. We
:08:11. > :08:18.understand Mr Cameron is demanding 30 years for the emergency brake,
:08:19. > :08:24.what figure have you come to? For us there are two possible point of
:08:25. > :08:34.arrival, one of them is five years, because if you live somewhere the
:08:35. > :08:39.six years you acquire residence. The maximum was seven years, because
:08:40. > :08:47.that is how long you can limit new workers from new countries joining
:08:48. > :08:53.the European Union. It is something already in European legislation and
:08:54. > :08:57.it is reasonable enough. The Czech foreign affairs Minister.
:08:58. > :09:07.We should put some context on Bobby emergency brake is. Chris Morris, is
:09:08. > :09:12.minor -- our Europe Minister, we know David Cameron wanted to limit
:09:13. > :09:20.benefit payments to each migrant in Britain for a period of four years.
:09:21. > :09:25.How did we come to seven and 13? The four year period is still there,
:09:26. > :09:30.payments would be phased in over a four year period. The other one is
:09:31. > :09:36.how long will it have the ability to pull the emergency brake? David
:09:37. > :09:41.Cameron said 13 years, the Eastern European leaders said five years.
:09:42. > :09:48.Most people knew it would end up as seven. If Britain votes yes to stay
:09:49. > :09:52.in the European Union, over a period over the next seven years the UK
:09:53. > :10:09.have the ability to restrict in work welfare payment to migrant workers
:10:10. > :10:15.for up to four years. The Czech European Minister seemed happy with
:10:16. > :10:19.seven years. Is this just a rubber stamping exercise? Probably, but I
:10:20. > :10:25.have been in these meetings before when somebody says, wait a minute, I
:10:26. > :10:32.haven't seen this particular detail before. We know that in the final
:10:33. > :10:37.draft pieces of contentious text have been removed, so solutions have
:10:38. > :10:41.been suggested after this day of bilateral agreements. If everybody
:10:42. > :10:47.has agreed then we need to see the text to see what has been approved.
:10:48. > :10:53.Take a step back and whatever is in this text it will not be what a
:10:54. > :10:57.number of Britain will vote on in a referendum on European Union
:10:58. > :11:02.membership, they will vote on rig themes, what it means for them and
:11:03. > :11:17.their family in the future. -- rig themes. -- gear. The Czech European
:11:18. > :11:23.Minister said there could be the issue of migration. Mr Tsipras said,
:11:24. > :11:27.if we are having solidarity for northern Europe, we should have
:11:28. > :11:34.solidarity for southern Europe, I might not agree to this unless I get
:11:35. > :11:37.what I want on migration. There is a period when legislation would have
:11:38. > :11:41.to be implemented to bring part of this proposed agreement into affect.
:11:42. > :11:46.There is always the danger that somebody could pull the plug, the
:11:47. > :11:53.European Parliament could refuse to vote for this. I suspect eventually
:11:54. > :12:01.it will get put in place again, if Britain says yes, because if Britain
:12:02. > :12:12.leaves the EU all votes are -- rural bets are off. Many people are saying
:12:13. > :12:19.don't expect to say no and then come back and say can we negotiate a bit
:12:20. > :12:24.more, it is one shot. No doubt there was exasperation on the part of Mr
:12:25. > :12:28.Tsipras, talking about benefits in the UK, which he would probably
:12:29. > :12:32.consider a peripheral issue when he is dealing with the debt crisis and
:12:33. > :12:38.the migrant crisis, and he is not the only European leader who feels
:12:39. > :12:44.that way. James Langdale has been looking at what each European leader
:12:45. > :12:46.wants from the negotiation and why it is so difficult to come to
:12:47. > :12:48.agreement. From the moment it joined
:12:49. > :12:54.the European Community more than 40 years ago, Britain has had
:12:55. > :12:56.a troubled relationship with Prime Minister
:12:57. > :12:58.after Prime Minister ending up in conflict
:12:59. > :13:00.with their European counterparts. David Cameron hopes his reforms
:13:01. > :13:04.will reset that relationship for good, with what he
:13:05. > :13:07.calls a new settlement. Above all the Prime Minister hopes
:13:08. > :13:10.to deter migrants coming here from the EU by limiting
:13:11. > :13:12.the benefits they can And those they send
:13:13. > :13:18.home to their children. The deal will see migrants
:13:19. > :13:20.having their tax credits phased in over four years,
:13:21. > :13:23.and their child benefit reflecting the cost of living
:13:24. > :13:29.in their own countries. Critics say this just
:13:30. > :13:30.won't make a difference. What is being offered are some
:13:31. > :13:41.modest changes on benefit reform which will be subject
:13:42. > :13:43.to change, could possibly What it is is a missed
:13:44. > :13:48.opportunity to go for a really The Prime Minister is
:13:49. > :13:55.also looking to protect the City of London from financial
:13:56. > :13:58.decisions made by eurozone countries as they begin to integrate
:13:59. > :14:00.their economies more closely. The deal does include
:14:01. > :14:02.new safeguards to ensure financial markets
:14:03. > :14:03.outside the eurozone But there's uncertainty over
:14:04. > :14:07.who decides when these Mr Cameron wants the House
:14:08. > :14:14.of Commons to have greater powers to club together with other
:14:15. > :14:16.European parliaments EU governments will have to think
:14:17. > :14:22.again if more than half of EU I hope the Prime Minister will bring
:14:23. > :14:28.back substantial reforms, the fact that these
:14:29. > :14:30.negotiations are taking time I believe if he can
:14:31. > :14:34.that Britain will But we will have
:14:35. > :14:40.to await the outcome. Above all the Prime Minister wants
:14:41. > :14:43.some of these reforms to be written into the EU's treaties and made
:14:44. > :14:47.more legally binding. In particular he wants his plan
:14:48. > :14:50.to opt Britain out of more political integration to be written into EU
:14:51. > :14:52.law, something many countries Even though there is still no deal
:14:53. > :14:59.tonight, campaigning has already begun for the referendum
:15:00. > :15:01.that is to follow. Three years ago David Cameron
:15:02. > :15:03.promised fundamental The question now is whether he
:15:04. > :15:08.has met that promise. James Landale, BBC
:15:09. > :15:20.News, Westminster. To sum up, the 28 leaders finally
:15:21. > :15:26.back in the room negotiating a second draft text. We think they are
:15:27. > :15:31.edging towards a deal, that is the feel from some of the messages
:15:32. > :15:36.coming from political advisers. It has been a long day, from what was
:15:37. > :15:40.supposed to be working British breakfast to a British lunch to a
:15:41. > :15:45.belated British dinner and some leaders just couldn't wait. Angela
:15:46. > :15:52.Merkel, the German Chancellor, so often the power broker these

:20:46. > :20:52.taking place. What have people been telling you there? If Hewlett at the
:20:53. > :20:59.polls it seems that Donald Trump is set for another big victory. -- if
:21:00. > :21:03.you look at. He is way ahead in all of the polls and it would be
:21:04. > :21:08.surprising if he didn't pick up a big vote in South Carolina. He is
:21:09. > :21:13.sounding very confident and a lot of people here seem to -- clearly
:21:14. > :21:17.really love him. But I spoke to a lot of Republican voters who have
:21:18. > :21:22.been lifelong Republicans who don't like Mr Trump and it is one of the
:21:23. > :21:27.interesting phenomena of this election, amidst all of the
:21:28. > :21:32.extraordinary things going on, how divisive he is. People either really
:21:33. > :21:38.love him or really hate him. They call it the United States of America
:21:39. > :21:43.but it could almost be the United countries of America. All of the
:21:44. > :21:50.states have very different cultures. Mr Trump says he has done the maths,
:21:51. > :21:56.he can go to the White House, is that overoptimistic? Increasingly I
:21:57. > :22:01.think, no, it isn't. If you compare him to everybody else in this race
:22:02. > :22:05.you have to give him the odds-on favourite of being the Republican
:22:06. > :22:11.nominee for resident of the US and if he wins this boat in South
:22:12. > :22:18.Carolina, a very different state, as he suggested, from Iowa and other
:22:19. > :22:22.largely white states, if he wins the Republican primary on Saturday it
:22:23. > :22:27.suggests he can win states in the south and he can go on and become
:22:28. > :22:39.the Republican nominee and potentially the next US president.
:22:40. > :22:45.Thank you very much for that. More from -- more on that later.
:22:46. > :22:48.Harper Lee has died at the age of 89. She was the author of To Kill A

:22:57. > :23:00.in our society is unspeakable. The character Atticus Finch

:23:15. > :23:16.and bore many similarities She studied law for a while and then

:23:40. > :23:42.after being accused of being rude We find the defendant guilty as
:23:43. > :23:55.charged. The idea of it all radiates
:23:56. > :23:58.through To Kill A Mockingbird, a book described by Oprah Winfrey
:23:59. > :24:00.as the nation's novel. 50 years on she was still being
:24:01. > :24:03.garlanded with awards. I have my work cut out for me
:24:04. > :24:06.for the next 15 years. She had planned a whole series
:24:07. > :24:11.of novels but her friend Joy Brown said it was hard to deal
:24:12. > :24:21.with the reaction to Mockingbird. I think when it really began
:24:22. > :24:25.to snowball and it really snowballed to the top of the mountain,
:24:26. > :24:28.I wonder if it sneaked up So the arrival of a second book
:24:29. > :24:45.more than 50 years later The manuscript to Go Set A Watchman
