council, donald tusk, said the summit in brussels had approved a firm and fair mandate for setting the terms of brexit. my colleague ben brown is in brussels. the first thing donald tusk said, which was of huge interest, was he emphasised what he called the outstanding unity of the 27 as they press ahead? that is right. unity has been the watchword among the remaining 27 eu leaders and there have been plenty of summits here in brussels that have been acrimonious and contentious and drawn out, not this one. this was over in just over three hours and only one minute after they sat down, the 27 leaders agreed the eight pages of the

negotiating guidelines for the brexit negotiations to be carried out. there was a round of applause, the chief negotiator, michel barnier, said that we are ready and we are together. the summit has ended so they know exactly how they will negotiate with britain on brexit and afterwards angela merkel said there is no conspiracy against the united kingdom. they have been emphasising that here, no attempt to punish the uk. here is damian grammaticas. it's taken just one month since theresa may's letter triggering brexit was received here, and the eu leaders now have their brexit position ready to go. translation: there is definitely a price, a cost for the uk. that's the choice it's made. it shouldn't be a punishment, but europe will defend its interests, and the uk will be in a worse position outside the eu than it is now. what eu leaders are most worried about is what angela merkel has called illusions on the british side

about what can be achieved in brexit negotiations. this process today is about injecting a bit of realism into the debate. the eu's red lines. so this is what the eu will demand. that the rights of millions of citizens affected by brexit on both sides are preserved. that the uk agrees to fulfil its financial obligations to the eu. that a way is sought to avoid new border controls in ireland. michel barnier is the man tasked with enforcing those red lines. everything ready for the uk negotiations? i think so. depends on the uk. and here they say the outcome of the uk election will make no difference to the deal they'll offer. if she wants to have a new election, it's her decision. i think it's an internal problem she wants to resolve in the conservative party to have not hard brexit or soft brexit but theresa's brexit, and so she needs support from the population. so the message eu leaders want to convey, they are united

and determined brexit will meet their terms. 0ne one of the messages they have been pushing herejust as one of the messages they have been pushing here just as the summit ended at the press conference is the importance of getting agreement on the future rights and benefits of eu nationals who live in britain and british citizens who live in european union countries. donald tusk said there needs to be a serious british response on that because we are talking about people's lives, they need to know exactly what will happen to them in the coming years. he said 4.5 million people are affected and they need a british response. today's discussion made clear that when it comes to reaching a decision on citizens‘ rights, not only speed is of the essence. but quality. so many

people‘s lives depend on it. we are talking about 4.5 million people, europeans residing in the uk and british people living on the continent. 0ver british people living on the continent. over the past weeks we have repeatedly heard from our british friends and also during my visit to london that they are ready to agree on this issue quickly. but i would like to state very clearly that we need real guarantees for our people to live, work and study in the uk and the same goes for the brits. the commission has prepared a full list of rights and benefits that we want to guarantee for those affected by brexit. in order to achieve sufficient progress, we need achieve sufficient progress, we need a serious british response. i want to assure you that as soon as the uk

offers real guarantees for our citizens, we will find a solution rapidly. that was donald tusk speaking a short time ago as the summit ended. i have been talking to the prime minister of luxembourg, who said that the unity that a 27 leaders here have shown is very, very important, but only for the european union but for britain. we all agreed that we want to start to negotiate everyone‘s single topic because every discuss as 27 and take decisions as 27 we will be much stronger than 27 single countries negotiating with the uk. we british have said they want to in parallel, simultaneously talk about a future relationship, trade relationship under the same time the divorce settlement, how much they have to the eu, the rights of eu nationals

in britain. you have said that cannot happen. why not, side—by—side? the first half to do with the past to be able to discuss the future. i really have to tell you that i‘m a bit surprised, if trade is more important than people? at the moment you have eu citizens living in the uk and thousands of british citizens living in europe. they want to know how the future will become what their rights will become work permits, writes for their children and schools, these are the most important topics to give answers to. the first to discuss this human question and not only to show again that trade and economy is not more important than people. money is also important, the uk government agreed on a lot of things in the last year‘s so we also have to see that and these questions have to see that and these questions have to see that and these questions have to be dealt with because if

afterwards, if you give me bad and i give you that, that is not the way, we should speak about the pass and be able to say the past is done and we will then speak about the future. that was the prime minister of luxembourg. 0ne that was the prime minister of luxembourg. one of the 27 eu leaders meeting here and agreeing their negotiating strategy on brexit with the uk. chris morris is our correspondent and he has been talking to many of those taking part. you were at a news conference with donald tusk. what is your impression? i think they are pleased that they have the unity they were hoping for. i have been here for a lot of issues, the terrorism crisis, the migration crisis, they all talk about unity but it is not really there. at the moment, there really isa there. at the moment, there really is a unity of purpose among the 27 and concern that there is an expectation gap growing between the 27 and officials in london. they know there is an election going on

in london and people say things during campaigns but you are donald tusk say that they are waiting for a serious british response on the issue of guaranteeing the rights of eu citizens in the uk and i understand but that is about, particularly, there have to be legal guarantees. a gentleman ‘s agreement is no good and if you start talking about legal guarantees for eu citizens, you are talking about a role for the european court of justice, something the theresa may says will no longer apply in the uk. there will be very tough negotiations but everyone here is trying to say that it will be friendly, there is no question of punishing britain, angela merkel said there is no conspiracy against the uk. i genuinely think they do not want a punishment because they need a deal as much as we do. if there was a wok out there would be a hole in the eu budget. they feel there are some threats emanating from the other side and that is inevitable at the beginning of any

association, people feeling their way. one senior official told me that we have a mountain to climb, it will take a huge effort to actually get to the stage where we can move on to start talking about the future and if you talk about citizens‘ rights and this single financial settlement, the divorce bill, there isa settlement, the divorce bill, there is a lot of incredibly technical detail which needs to be gone into and jean—claude juncker said that i am not sure of the british understand the level of technical detail required. there is unity and agreement right night but maybe that is easy because this is the start but down the road, for example on the bill, you might get rich nations and poor nations disagreeing about what sort of settlement, financial settlement, that they are prepared to take? yes. divisions will open on various things. poland is more worried than portugal about eu citizens in the uk because poland has so many there. the dutch would

like to move more than others want moving on to talk about trade but at the same time the dutch said that we must ensure that the uk pays all of the bills it was because of not it is countries like the dutch and the germans, who pay a lot into the budget, who will make up that shortfall. differences of opinion but the idea that the declaration of unity does not ring hollow, they are pretty accurate reflections of our behalf. many thanks. those 27 leaders on their way home after that very brief and successful summit from their point of view. as we have been hearing. unity is the watchword here. the negotiations themselves will not get under way untiljune and perhaps not in earnest, people say here, until the autumn. back to you. thank you. theresa may is campaigning today for the first time since calling the general election. the conservatives hold one scottish seat at westminster but opinion polls suggest support for the party in scotland is growing. she‘ll say that a vote for her party

is a vote for the union. my my message to the people of scotland is clear. every vote for me and my tea m is clear. every vote for me and my team will strengthen my hand in the brexit negotiations. that will strengthen the union, strengthen the economy and the uk and scotland together will flourish. because of scotla nd together will flourish. because of scotland is flourishing, the rest of the united kingdom is flourishing, too. and that is really important, because as prime minister for the united kingdom, iwant because as prime minister for the united kingdom, i want to see every pa rt united kingdom, i want to see every part of our country succeed. i want businesses here in aberdeenshire to succeed and thrive just as i do businesses across the rest of the united kingdom. iwant businesses across the rest of the united kingdom. i want young businesses across the rest of the united kingdom. iwant young people in the north—east of scotland to

have a secure job and a bright future, just as i do for young people in the south—west of england. i want to see every single part of our country thrive and succeed. and, of course, as i say, every vote for me and my team will be a vote to strengthen our hand in those brexit negotiations. and my commitment is to ensure that we get the right deal from those brexit negotiations. and thatis from those brexit negotiations. and that is what is important. as i say, every vote for me and my team strengthens my hand in those negotiations. every vote for me and my team is a vote for five years of strong and stable leadership to take us strong and stable leadership to take us through brexit and beyond. every vote for me and my team is a vote of strong and stable leadership in the national interests. and that is what this election is about. it is about

leadership, about stability, it is about doing the right thing for britain. and you will only get that with the strong and stable government that the conservatives can provide. because that is what we have shown in government. if you think back, when i first took over as prime minister, just after the referendum, there were predictions of immediate financial crash, economic danger, but actually, because the strength the government has shown, what we have seen is consumer confidence remain high, we have seen record numbers ofjobs and overall growth has been beyond all expectations. when i took of those prime minister, people said the country was divided. they said it would never come back together again. but actually, today, isee would never come back together again. but actually, today, i see a unity of purpose as people want the government to get on with brexit and make a success of it. when i took over as prime minister,

what was needed was a clear vision and the determination to get on with thatjob of brexit and that is exactly what the government provided. and that is the security that strong and stable government can provide. i think it is what leadership looks like. at this general election, people will have a very clear choice. between five yea rs of very clear choice. between five years of strong and stable leadership with me and my team or a coalition of chaos led byjeremy corbyn. laughter and that is what is on offer, of course. if you look at the other parties, they are lining up to prop up parties, they are lining up to prop upjeremy parties, they are lining up to prop up jeremy corbyn. we

parties, they are lining up to prop upjeremy corbyn. we see it from the liberal democrats and from nicola sturgeon‘s scottish nationalists. and what they are doing is they want to disrupt our brexit negotiations, undermine the task ahead, stop us from taking britain forward. and every snp mp who is elected to westminster puts a step closer to jeremy corbyn getting into downing street. the labour leaderjeremy corbyn has called for young people to "step up" and register for a vote in the coming general election. the deadline to apply for a vote is in three weeks‘ time. addressing supporters in east london, mr corbyn warned there was a danger that "apathy and resignation" would hand seats to the conservatives. he said his leadership style would questions of those in power. iam in i am in thisjob because i believe there is a better way to respond. it is about rejecting the simple

slogans from government. it is about sharing ideas and deciding upon real and lasting answers. we‘re not going to have freethinking, shot down by a hostile media or an elite that scoffs at anyone who dares to step out of line. tim farron has said only his party can act as an effective opposition toa can act as an effective opposition to a government led by theresa may. speaking at a campaign event in leeds, he said thatjeremy corbyn is the least effective opposition leader in british political history. he said that labour‘s weakness has allowed the conservatives to damage public services. that is cut to the chase and say something everyone knows is true. that is, theresa may only called the selection because she knew she was going to win it. the reality is that she has chosen the 8th of june the reality is that she has chosen the 8th ofjune 04 the good of the country, but for the good of any negotiating position but for the good of the conservative party. she has chosen the 8th ofjune as the

date for her coronation and she expects us all to turn up in our sunday best and wave little flags and isaac, britain remains a democracy. britain needs a decent, strong opposition and am here today to back greg and the liberal democrats in leeds and across yorkshire, and right around the country i am here to say that i am determined to be the leader of britain's opposition. the liberal democrats. the liberal democrats are absolutely clear that our country faces an absolute democratic challenge if it becomes a i—party state on the 8th ofjune. what does that mean to your local hospital? what does it mean to the local police forces? what does it mean to local schools? if you have a conservative government in london with a colossal majority, able to ta ke with a colossal majority, able to take everybody here and around the country for granted. the british people need a decent and strong opposition, the liberal democrats will be it. we do not need to agree with me with us on absolutely everything, we can differ on some points but we can agree on one

thing— britain desperately needs that strong and decent opposition and the liberal democrats can be at. i knowjeremy corbyn, he is a nice man. he is the least effective opposition leader in british political history and as a consequence of that, the conservatives have the freedom to damage our health, our social care, out damage our health, our social care, our schools and our police forces around the country. this is about more thanjust around the country. this is about more than just brexit, around the country. this is about more thanjust brexit, this conservative government is making choices, taking the side of the single market, that will damage every single community in the united kingdom but you don't need to agree with us and brexit to agree with us that we need a strong opposition. the liberal democrats are determined to be that strong opposition and that begins here in leeds and rhetoric around the country. thank you very much indeed. the ukip leader paul nuttall has confirmed that he will run to be mp for boston and skegness. he said it was a great honour and a privilege and he‘d be campaigning on what he called

the "betrayal of our fishing industry" by successive governments. he rejected comparisons to his failed attempt to win the stoke by—election in february. stoke was a complete one—off. this is a general election and i think that politics is on our turf, theresa may called it because she said she wanted a mandate for brexit but we are the only party that has campaigned all of our political lives to offer real, clean brexit and control of our borders and control of our money, bringing real democracy back to the uk. i think we have a great opportunity to take a number of seats and what we will not do is what we did in 2015 when we had a scatter—gun approach. we will be targeting sensibly in terms of manpower and candidates. scotland‘s first minister and snp leader nicola sturgeon has been campaigning in glasgow this morning, telling supporters that only her party can stop the conservatives imposing cuts in scotland. she urged voters not to give the tories a free rein. make no mistake. this general election really matters to the future of our country. it will determine

whether scotland continues to move forward or is dragged back by the tories. and it will ensure that the decisions about the future of our country, whatever that turns out to be, is taken here by the scottish parliament and the scottish people, not by an increasingly hardline right—wing tory government at westminster. the headlines... eu leaders unanimously agree guidelines for negotiating brexit, saying the future of eu citizens is a top priority. theresa may is campaigning in scotland for the first time since calling the general election. jeremy corbyn defends his style of leadership — saying other leaders give in to powerful vested interests. in sport... sebastien

he travelled to turkey with two 17—year—old boys and it was believed they were then planning to try to get across the border into syria and join up with is fighters. in fact, they were stopped in turkey, deported back to the uk, questioned by the authorities and released without charge. do we know if a watch had been kept on him since? that is not clear but clearly this man is one of those in custody and six people in total are detained and the woman in hospital, of course, she is injured and cannot be questioned or arrested until she is well enough. certainly, it is interesting that this man clearly was at one point on the radar of the authorities. donald trump‘s accused north korea of disrespecting china after it test—fired a second ballistic missile. the test was launched hours after the american secretary of state rex tillerson called for a tougher international approach at the united nations security council. 0ur correspondent

daniela relph reports. as tensions build, it is a reminder of america‘s formidable military might. the uss carl vinson arrived in waters off the korean peninsula, just hours after the failed missile test. shortly before arriving to make his case in new york, the us secretary of state at the united nations. his message was clear. un sanctions aren‘t working. the pressure on north korea must be stepped up. with each successive detonation and missile test, north korea pushes northeast asia and the world closer to instability and broader conflict. the threat of a north korean nuclear attack on seoul or tokyo is real. and it is likely only a matter of time before north korea develops the capability to strike the us mainland. so far, un pressure has not stopped north korea accelerating its weapons programme. 0vernight, president trump

also gave his view. he tweeted: north korea disrespected the wishes of china and its highly respected president when it launched, though unsuccessfully, a missile today. bad! and in london this morning, during a visit to the uk, the japanese prime minister denounced the missile test. translation: it is a grave threat to our country. this is absolutely not acceptable. we strongly condemn such acts. this latest move by north korea‘s young leader appears to have strengthened international resolve to increase the pressure on him and his country. daniela relph, bbc news. a man has appeared at manchester and salford magistrates court charged with the murder of former royal navy officer mike samwell, who is thought to have been run over by his own car. mr samwell was fatally injured as he tried to stop thieves from stealing his car from outside his home in manchester. 29—year—old ryan gibbons is charged

a 15—year—old boy and two men, a 20—year—old and a 21—year—old, also charged with murder and burglary, have been bailed pending further enquiries. mps have warned that the dominance of big home—building firms must end in order to fix the broken housing market. the communities and local government committee says the eight biggest firms are responsible for building more than half of all new homes. it wants the government to do more to help smaller builders. our business correspondent, joe lynam, reports. we all know britain is not building enough homes to meet demand, that‘s why house prices are out of reach for many, especially in the south. but an all—party group of mps says we could be building far more if smaller house builders were supported. the communities and local government committee says the top eight builders in the uk account for more than half of new homes constructed. it says smaller builders should get support from government

to help them buy land. and local authorities should provide more infrastructure, such as road and public transport, to enable house—building. and britain should encourage more people to build their own homes, already popular in europe. we aren‘t building enough homes. we need to be building at least 200,000 homes a year and probably quite a few more to keep pace with household formation. currently the market is dominated by a small number of developers. they will build a certain number of properties to maximise their profits and they won‘t build the total number that are needed. so we need to take action on a whole range of fronts to make sure we get that number up. the home builders federation welcomes the report but says only larger firms could spread risks and costs associated with how house—building across dozens of sites. joe lynam, bbc news. let‘s ta ke let‘s take a look at the weather forecast. things turning a bit warmer this
