:00:08. > :00:13.Hello, I'm Ros Atkins with World News Today in Brussels -

:00:14. > :00:16.where David Cameron is spending a working dinner, outlining his

:00:17. > :00:24.plans for Britain's future relationship with Europe.

:00:25. > :00:28.He's already been told that he can't expect to "cherry pick" a new deal -

:00:29. > :00:36.and tomorrow he'll find himself excluded from summit discussions.

:00:37. > :00:52.His possession was not helped by the tone in the European Parliament.

:00:53. > :00:58.You all after me. I have to say, you are not laughing now, are you?

:00:59. > :01:02.The other headlines : The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn loses a vote

:01:03. > :01:07.of no confidence by a huge margin - but says he won't resign.

:01:08. > :01:10.And - has the EU referendum led to an increase in the number

:01:11. > :01:13.We'll discuss growing concern about the legacy

:01:14. > :01:38.Welcome to the European Council in Brussels on a day where the

:01:39. > :01:42.ramifications of the UK vote to leave the European Union continue to

:01:43. > :01:49.evolve and expand. Let me run you through the developments. In London,

:01:50. > :01:53.the Chancellor in charge of the UK economy said he anticipates tax

:01:54. > :01:58.rises and spending cuts in the coming months. Also, the opposition

:01:59. > :02:03.Labour Party is in complete disarray after its MPs voted through a

:02:04. > :02:07.no-confidence motion in its leader. More in a minute. And then in

:02:08. > :02:12.Brussels for the first time since the UK opted out of the EU, all 28

:02:13. > :02:18.member nation leaders are in one place this building, to talk about

:02:19. > :02:20.how the so-called Brexit is going to work. We begin our coverage of what

:02:21. > :02:26.has happened with Laura Kuenssberg. David Cameron might have

:02:27. > :02:28.wanted to slip in the back The Prime Minister made the same

:02:29. > :02:32.grand arrival as ever, While we are leaving

:02:33. > :02:40.the European Union, we must not be These countries are our neighbours,

:02:41. > :02:43.our friends, our allies, our partners, and I hope

:02:44. > :02:46.we will seek the closest possible relationship in terms of trade

:02:47. > :02:50.and cooperation and security, because that is good for us

:02:51. > :02:54.and that is good for them. That's the spirit in

:02:55. > :02:56.which the discussions He told us and them he wouldn't quit

:02:57. > :03:05.if he lost, and would start No surprise that the president

:03:06. > :03:11.of the commission didn't There is genuine upset

:03:12. > :03:18.and a desire to get on with it. The day after Brexit,

:03:19. > :03:21.I felt as if someone very close Brexit is not only about procedures

:03:22. > :03:31.and politics and interest. It is also about our

:03:32. > :03:35.emotions and fears. What do you have to say

:03:36. > :03:38.to the Prime Minister? I think he has to say something

:03:39. > :03:41.to us, not us to him. We should wait until

:03:42. > :03:43.the Conservative Party has But nothing can happen until Britain

:03:44. > :03:53.is ready to start, says Europe's Sometimes, these bunfights

:03:54. > :04:03.are all about working out the body language,

:04:04. > :04:06.trying to find out what is going on. Europe's leaders are sad and angry,

:04:07. > :04:11.almost in disbelief at what has been decided, and in no mood to make

:04:12. > :04:14.the exit process easy. But so many British voters felt

:04:15. > :04:19.the EU didn't listen. Nigel Farage wanted to enjoy

:04:20. > :04:21.the warm embrace of schadenfreude, delighted

:04:22. > :04:25.at Brussels' agony. Mutual loathing in the European

:04:26. > :04:32.Parliament today was pretty clear. When I came here 17 years ago,

:04:33. > :04:45.and I said I wanted to lead a campaign to get Britain

:04:46. > :04:49.to leave the European Union, Well, I have to say,

:04:50. > :04:59.you're not laughing now, are you? There is not upset at the results,

:05:00. > :05:02.but contempt for how After six years, David Cameron's job

:05:03. > :05:18.is not to make the deal. From the look on their faces,

:05:19. > :05:21.he has first to explain himself This will probably be

:05:22. > :05:26.one for the album. It is likely to be his last

:05:27. > :05:31.Brussels get-together. There is uncertainty about the basic

:05:32. > :05:34.blocks of our future relationship. Commiseration too alongside

:05:35. > :05:37.the deep confusion, But David Cameron is no longer here

:05:38. > :05:45.to be the one who decides. Laura Kuenssberg,

:05:46. > :05:58.BBC News, Brussels. You saw Nigel Farage, the Ukip

:05:59. > :06:01.leader being a little bit cheeky with members of the European

:06:02. > :06:07.Parliament. Later in a speech accused them of having never done a

:06:08. > :06:13.hard days work in a life which did not go down well. One person who

:06:14. > :06:19.pushed back hard was the former Belgian prime minister, a senior MEP

:06:20. > :06:23.in the European Parliament. He said to mystify Rush, one good thing

:06:24. > :06:33.about Brexit is the European Union will be paying his salary for much

:06:34. > :06:36.longer. We spoke to him about the tone he struck with mystify rush.

:06:37. > :06:39.We have watched you over the years, locking horns with Nigel Farage.

:06:40. > :06:41.This morning you accused him of using Nazi propaganda and you're

:06:42. > :06:45.He has gone and the UK has exited the European Union.

:06:46. > :06:53.The main thing that I want to do is not to attack somebody.

:06:54. > :06:55.The main thing I want to do is to reform.

:06:56. > :06:59.This morning you were attacking him with vigour.

:07:00. > :07:07.He said to the 700 people, members of the European Parliament,

:07:08. > :07:13.you do nothing, you have never worked in your life and then

:07:14. > :07:17.at the same time he says I am defending the poor man and he has

:07:18. > :07:21.an offshore financial system put in place.

:07:22. > :07:26.He looked for this attack from my side.

:07:27. > :07:34.He was so rude with the whole house, with the whole Parliament.

:07:35. > :07:40.When I watch you and Nigel Farage I'm thinking it is going to be

:07:41. > :07:43.difficult for the UK and the European Union to stay

:07:44. > :07:45.amicable while it goes through this process.

:07:46. > :07:48.Fortunately I don't think Nigel Farage is really

:07:49. > :07:56.Maybe Little Anglia but not Great Britain.

:07:57. > :08:08.I'm joined by Alberto Nardelli from Buzzfeed UK, Europe Editor.

:08:09. > :08:12.One of the huge journalists gathered. Have you spotted a

:08:13. > :08:17.difference between a European perspective and the British one?

:08:18. > :08:24.There has been some difference, when you talk to British officials, there

:08:25. > :08:27.is talk about the possibility of maybe the European countries

:08:28. > :08:32.offering the UK better membership terms, I asked that to one official

:08:33. > :08:37.and he describes the idea as delusional. Is that Britain has

:08:38. > :08:40.voted to leave and now it is about getting on with the exit

:08:41. > :08:45.negotiations but beyond that it is about sending a signal to the other

:08:46. > :08:52.EU member states that you cannot blackmail the countries and have a

:08:53. > :08:55.referendum and get better terms. They reminded us of Greece, they

:08:56. > :09:00.ended up with terms that were worse than they were offered before.

:09:01. > :09:06.Everyone wants to get on exit process, but they cannot. Everybody

:09:07. > :09:12.is waiting for the UK. They are and there seems to be some consensus now

:09:13. > :09:17.that in September once a new pro-minister is in place, that is

:09:18. > :09:21.when article 50 will be triggered. An extraordinary Council in

:09:22. > :09:28.Bratislava where more formal talks will begin however what is unclear,

:09:29. > :09:32.and I were asked too many people, what happens if the UK refuses to

:09:33. > :09:37.trigger Article 50 and treat is nobody knows! Presumably the people

:09:38. > :09:41.who voted to leave would ask the government why are you not

:09:42. > :09:44.triggering it so it would be a big domestic story. A question about the

:09:45. > :09:50.future of the European Union because I have been struck and spending last

:09:51. > :09:54.week in the UK there is quite a lot of confidence about the European

:09:55. > :10:01.Union future, the idea this vote will start a disintegration process

:10:02. > :10:06.seems premature. That is a fundamental point in this debate. As

:10:07. > :10:11.the German chancellor mentioned speaking to her Parliament in

:10:12. > :10:15.Germany, it is a key point and when a 27 member states renegotiate with

:10:16. > :10:19.Britain, the one thing they will have in mind is keeping the EU

:10:20. > :10:24.together. That will be at the front of the mind of the other countries

:10:25. > :10:29.and they will do everything they can to make sure the EU stays together.

:10:30. > :10:35.It'll make the negotiation for the UK even harder. A couple of other

:10:36. > :10:39.issues aside from Brexit, Nigel Farage was keen to point out this

:10:40. > :10:43.vote by the UK was one of the European Union's problems and a

:10:44. > :10:47.migrant crisis, the difficulties of the euro, they are greater

:10:48. > :10:53.difficulties and Britain exiting. When will they get discussed because

:10:54. > :11:00.Britain is dominating everything. There are two sides come on the one

:11:01. > :11:05.hand you... Niger since the referendum but before you had months

:11:06. > :11:12.and months of councils dominated by negotiations and changing Britain's

:11:13. > :11:18.status in the Union and the parallel migration crisis and a crisis still

:11:19. > :11:21.going on in Ukraine which people have forgotten about. All these

:11:22. > :11:26.issues are happening in parallel and all of them in different ways are

:11:27. > :11:31.pulling the strings of Europe, the migration crisis in Eastern Europe

:11:32. > :11:37.has created a backlash against refugees, Hungary will be holding a

:11:38. > :11:39.referendum on whether to take ref -- refugees. There are various

:11:40. > :11:44.migration debates around the continent. One of the biggest

:11:45. > :11:50.stories on Friday was the fact older people voted to leave and younger

:11:51. > :11:55.people had not voted to leave. But as feed has younger readers who

:11:56. > :12:04.follow news via your website. Do you think there is anger now towards the

:12:05. > :12:08.British decision -- Buzzfeed. It is a generational divide. If we look at

:12:09. > :12:14.the results, it is true most older people voted to leave the majority

:12:15. > :12:19.of young people voted to remain however it is also true that 80 per

:12:20. > :12:23.cent of all the people who voted and 40% of younger people voted so the

:12:24. > :12:27.flip side of the story is older people vote, if younger people voted

:12:28. > :12:31.in similar numbers, we may be talking about a different story. It

:12:32. > :12:36.is also about getting that vote out and if you care about these issues,

:12:37. > :12:44.they have to vote. Thank you for your time. I am looking over the

:12:45. > :12:48.press pit of the European Council, there are several thousand

:12:49. > :12:52.journalists here, they are not going anywhere because the leaders of the

:12:53. > :12:56.European Union are meeting over dinner and we hope to hear from some

:12:57. > :12:57.of them later. None of us are going anywhere but waiting for the

:12:58. > :13:00.statements when they emerge. And the political fallout

:13:01. > :13:02.after the referendum results shows no sign of easing for the main

:13:03. > :13:05.opposition Labour Party MPs have overwhelmingly backed

:13:06. > :13:11.a vote of no confidence in their leader Jeremy Corbyn

:13:12. > :13:13.after widespread criticism of his performance

:13:14. > :13:17.during the campaign. But Mr Corbyn is staying put -

:13:18. > :13:21.he says he won't bow out, arguing to do so would be a betrayal

:13:22. > :13:24.of all the party members Jeremy Corbyn is obviously

:13:25. > :13:39.uncomfortable, a leader under siege, a Shadow Cabinet patched together

:13:40. > :13:41.after mass resignations. Just look at his deputy,

:13:42. > :13:50.Tom Watson, on the right. Everyone knows he is not truly

:13:51. > :13:52.backing his leader, But later, most of his MPs

:13:53. > :14:04.were officially against him, leaving his team empty chairs

:14:05. > :14:06.and unfilled vacancies waiting for the leadership challenge that

:14:07. > :14:12.will now surely come. Jeremy must accept now that his

:14:13. > :14:15.leadership is untenable. He is unable to fill

:14:16. > :14:17.shadow ministerial posts, he is unable to fill the basic

:14:18. > :14:19.function of opposition, which is to hold the government

:14:20. > :14:23.to account, and he has to do Angela Eagle resigned yesterday

:14:24. > :14:27.as Shadow Business Secretary. Now she is weighing up a leadership

:14:28. > :14:30.challenge and is meeting Tom Watson Might reunite a party torn apart,

:14:31. > :14:37.and as she told me yesterday, I feel I have served

:14:38. > :14:42.in the best way I can, In the coming Labour leadership

:14:43. > :14:48.contest, a challenger needs backing from 50 Labour MPs or MEPs

:14:49. > :14:53.from the European Parliament. The contest's results

:14:54. > :14:54.will be announced at the autumn conference

:14:55. > :14:56.or an emergency It is still unclear if Mr Corbyn

:14:57. > :15:01.would automatically get on the ballot without needing

:15:02. > :15:03.nominations. Voting is by party members,

:15:04. > :15:06.registered supporters who have paid ?3 each,

:15:07. > :15:14.and affiliated union supporters. Are party members like these

:15:15. > :15:15.in Croydon beginning I ended up voting for him

:15:16. > :15:19.in the leadership election because I felt we needed a change

:15:20. > :15:23.and we needed to create a nicer But increasingly, I have become

:15:24. > :15:27.disillusioned and is appointed So many people say the same thing,

:15:28. > :15:33.that he is a lovely guy It is almost irresponsible for them

:15:34. > :15:42.to advocate for a new leader But Mr Corbyn has strong

:15:43. > :15:49.support in the country. Young members turned up today

:15:50. > :15:54.to urge rebels to back off. And among the loyal minority

:15:55. > :15:59.at Westminster, there is defiance. I think a lot of people are very

:16:00. > :16:01.concerned about the behaviour This week, we should have been

:16:02. > :16:09.exposing our hapless Prime Minister. Labour's past appearance of unity

:16:10. > :16:12.was always something of a charade, but now the fight is out in the open

:16:13. > :16:15.and whichever side wins, the wounds that are about to be

:16:16. > :16:33.inflicted will be painful and deep. As the UK prepares for a slow and

:16:34. > :16:38.painful diverse, the people of Turkey are wondering how that they

:16:39. > :16:41.should with Europe will develop. The government in Istanbul has been

:16:42. > :16:47.seeking to strengthen its case to join the EU but is that possibility

:16:48. > :16:58.closer or further away now? Are Turkey Reporter reports. Proud,

:16:59. > :17:02.patriotic and problematic. Turkey is the EU's neighbour it can't afford

:17:03. > :17:07.to ignore. After becoming a candidate for membership in 2005,

:17:08. > :17:12.relations between the sides largely frozen until the migrant crisis came

:17:13. > :17:18.along and EU realised it needed Turkey more than ever and so earlier

:17:19. > :17:22.this year EU and Turkish leaders struck a deal in Brussels, failed

:17:23. > :17:26.asylum seekers would be deported from Greece and sent back to Turkey.

:17:27. > :17:33.It cut the flow of migrants dramatically down from 10,000 a day

:17:34. > :17:37.to barely 100. But Turkey negotiated something in return, to get rid of

:17:38. > :17:40.these cues the lifting of these requirements for Turks travelling to

:17:41. > :17:45.the Schengen zone. You're supposed to have that happen at the end of

:17:46. > :17:51.the month but installed, the commission says Turkey has not met

:17:52. > :17:55.the criteria. The EU wants Turkey to stop using anti-terrorism laws to

:17:56. > :17:59.arrest journalists and critics. When the government took over in

:18:00. > :18:03.opposition, newspaper claiming it was run by terrorists protests were

:18:04. > :18:07.attacked. Turkey says it will not change the legislation and it faces

:18:08. > :18:10.multiple terror threats. It has warned Brussels and less visas are

:18:11. > :18:16.lifted, it could pull out of the migrant deal. And so it is that old

:18:17. > :18:23.tricky relationship again, between Turkey and EU. And for this summit,

:18:24. > :18:28.a dilemma, how to stop Europe's gatekeeper from jettisoning the

:18:29. > :18:31.whole migrant deal whilst still not kowtowing to a controversial

:18:32. > :18:39.president Burda one. It could be a bumpy ride.

:18:40. > :18:44.Ikea is to recall 27 million Malm chests of drawers in North America

:18:45. > :18:48.after the deaths of three children in the United States.

:18:49. > :18:55.As shown on this demonstration video, the children were killed

:18:56. > :18:57.after being crushed by drawers toppling over on top of them.

:18:58. > :19:00.Ikea US president Lars Peterson said the company had stopped

:19:01. > :19:02.selling its Malm series products because they "could be a danger".

:19:03. > :19:04.Last year, Ikea warned customers to use wall

:19:05. > :19:10.The German car manufacturer, Volkswagen, has agreed on a package

:19:11. > :19:14.worth nearly fifteen billion dollars to settle US consumer lawsuits

:19:15. > :19:22.Lawyers say the settlement is the largest of its

:19:23. > :19:28.It states that the company must offer to buy back nearly half

:19:29. > :19:31.a million cars with diesel engines and compensate their owners.

:19:32. > :19:33.Last year, US regulators discovered that some VW cars

:19:34. > :19:39.were fitted with software that distorted emission tests.

:19:40. > :19:41.World number one golfer Jason Day has withdrawn

:19:42. > :19:42.from the Rio Olympics because of concerns

:19:43. > :19:46.The 28-year-old Australian said while the risk is small,

:19:47. > :19:49.it is not one he is willing to take because of potential risks

:19:50. > :19:55.Last week another international golfer, Rory McIlroy,

:19:56. > :20:04.pulled out because of worries about Zika.

:20:05. > :20:07.Back to our main story now, the UK's vote to leave the European Union

:20:08. > :20:10.and the disturbing reports that there have been

:20:11. > :20:13.in the UK since the vote of an increase in racist attacks

:20:14. > :20:17.on Eastern Europeans and other ethnic minorities.

:20:18. > :20:20.A number of groups who monitor such incidents say there has been

:20:21. > :20:23.an increase, and some are linking this to the charged debate around

:20:24. > :20:28.immigration that featured during the referendum campaign.

:20:29. > :20:31.With me now is Farah Elahi, who is a research and policy analyst

:20:32. > :20:33.at the Runnymede Trust, a race equality think

:20:34. > :20:50.Give us a sense, some perspective on this, is this a new phenomenon in?

:20:51. > :20:53.No, it is not new, hate crime against minorities has been

:20:54. > :21:00.long-standing but what we are seeing is a significant spike in incidence

:21:01. > :21:04.since the referendum. Why is there a spike, can we link this to the Leave

:21:05. > :21:08.campaign and the rhetoric we heard around immigration? The rhetoric we

:21:09. > :21:17.saw coming out of the referendum across all parties has a role to

:21:18. > :21:21.play in the spike under things legitimising mainstream but we can

:21:22. > :21:25.also point to government interventions for a number of years

:21:26. > :21:30.that have been creating this and stoking tensions from the government

:21:31. > :21:37.and the media. Of course it is not in any way racist to worry about

:21:38. > :21:41.levels of immigration. It is not racist to worry about levels of

:21:42. > :21:44.immigration, it is how you express concerns and how you target

:21:45. > :21:51.individuals that you might hold responsible. Should we be surprised,

:21:52. > :21:56.we have had six years of austerities Britain, some cuts to benefits as

:21:57. > :22:00.well, given the growing social divide in this country, should we be

:22:01. > :22:07.so surprised we are seeing an increase and prejudice? It is not

:22:08. > :22:11.about surprise, we should be concerned about the increasing

:22:12. > :22:16.levels of prejudice and the way it is expressed. And in difficult

:22:17. > :22:19.times, we are turning on our neighbours and those around us

:22:20. > :22:26.rather than holding people in power to account. What can we do to change

:22:27. > :22:30.it? Then needs a new narrative for Britain, one focused on unity, we

:22:31. > :22:35.need stronger leadership that condemns these unacceptable acts and

:22:36. > :22:39.we also need decisive action from the police and services to tackle

:22:40. > :22:43.these crimes. I'm glad you brought up the response from police. I

:22:44. > :22:49.wonder how their powers change in the future in which the UK is

:22:50. > :22:54.outside of the EU, do they still have the powers they need to be able

:22:55. > :22:59.to hold people accountable and to prosecute people who are found to

:23:00. > :23:04.incite violence and race hate crime? At the moment they have all the

:23:05. > :23:10.powers they had last week. They should be exercising those. We don't

:23:11. > :23:15.know what will happen in terms of the Brexit and how things will

:23:20. > :23:24.significant powers to prosecute hate crimes. In terms of the response, we

:23:25. > :23:28.need strong leadership, the moment there seems to be a real absence of

:23:29. > :23:34.leadership modest in the UK but also in Brussels, it is unclear as to who

:23:35. > :23:40.will lead negotiations in Brussels. What do we need in the vacuum of

:23:41. > :23:44.leadership that we have in the next few months can what can we do

:23:45. > :23:50.ourselves as a people to prevent this? May be what we need to look

:23:51. > :23:55.for is someone who can give a positive story for Britain and the

:23:56. > :23:59.future of Britain and takes decisive stands on the issues. Thank you for

:24:00. > :24:09.coming in and taking us through those issues. Today has been a

:24:10. > :24:13.dramatic day in Brussels, before we go, let me show you some key moments

:24:14. > :24:20.from the debate at the European Parliament.

:24:21. > :24:34.I know virtually none of you have ever done a proper job in your

:24:35. > :24:41.lives! Or worked... Or worked in business, or worked in trade or

:24:42. > :24:47.indeed ever created a job. I am surprised you are here. You were

:24:53. > :24:58.Why are you here? There are many things to be negotiated and we need

:24:59. > :25:06.cool heads and warm hearts. But please remember this, Scotland did

:25:07. > :25:13.not let you down, please I beg you, do not let Scotland down now. It is

:25:14. > :25:19.the climate of fear that has been created, negative things, that is

:25:20. > :25:23.the most shocking of what happened in Britain, not the choice of the

:25:24. > :25:30.people because the choice of the people is democracy. MEPs like Diane

:25:31. > :25:38.Dodds and marine Le Pen would say that we in the North of Ireland are

:25:39. > :25:44.bound by a UK vote, we say we are not. And like the previous MEP, Miss

:25:51. > :25:59.the people of the North of Ireland just like Scotland which voted

:26:00. > :26:00.remain. Emotions running high. That is it from us. Next, the weather.

:26:01. > :26:05.Goodbye. Tuesday's weather went downhill
