good evening and welcome to bbc news. the 27 remaining european union countries have unanimously adopted guidelines for negotiating britain's withdrawal. the president of the european council donald tusk said the summit in brussels had approved a firm and fair mandate for setting the terms of brexit. damian grammaticus reports. 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. well, after the summit ended, donald tusk, president of the european council, was keen to stress that the rights of eu nationals living in the uk and british nationals living in the eu, had to be a priority in the negotiations. he called for a serious response from britain on the issue. today's discussion made clear that when it comes to reaching a decision on substance rights not only speed is of the essence but above all quality. as so many peoples lives depend on. we're talking about four

and a half million people, europeans residing in the uk and britons living on the continent. 0ver residing in the uk and britons living on the continent. over the past weeks we have repeatedly had from my british friends and also during my visit to london that they are ready to agree on this issue correctly but i would like to state very clearly that we need real guarantees for our people to live and work and study in the uk and the same goes for the british. 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 a serious british response. i want to assure you that as soon as the uk offers real guarantees for their

citizens we will find a solution rapidly. theresa may is campaigning in scotland this afternoon 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. mrs may says a vote for her party is a vote for the union. my message to the people of scotland 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 if 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, i want to see every part of our country succeed.

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 labour leaderjeremy corbyn has called for young people to "step up" and register to vote

in the coming general election. the deadline to register is in three weeks time. addressing supporters in east london, mr corbyn warned that "apathy and resignation" would hand seats to the conservatives. he said his leadership would question those in power: 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 free thinking shot down by a hostile media or an elite that scoffs at anyone who dares to step out of line. the liberal democrat leader tim farron has said that only his party 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 — and said that labour's weakness has allowed the conservatives

to damage public services: the liberal democrats absolutely clear that our country faces an absolute democratic challenge if it becomes a i—party state on the 8th ofjune. for is that mean to your local hospital, was into local police forces, bodies into a local schools if you have a conservative government in london with the colossal majority of the body around the country been taken for granted? the british people that are decent and strong opposition and the liberal democrats will be yet. you don't need to be with me and us and us everything. we can differ in some points but a green one thing, britain desperately needs that strong decent opposition and only the liberal democrats can be yet. it's emerged that one of the six people arrested in a counter

terrorism operation in north london on thursday night had been suspected 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 with murder, burglary and aggravated vehicle—taking. the national association of head teachers has voted to oppose the expansion of grammar schools in england. 97% of delegates at a conference in shropshire backed a motion to reject the conservatives‘ expansion plans after hearing that there was no evidence to support the theory that they helped bright children from disadvantaged backgrounds. 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. the president of the european commission has warned that many people in britain are underestimating the difficulties of brexit. jean claude yuncker was speaking after eu leaders, meeting in brussels, unanimously agreed their negotiating position on britain's departure from the union. they've said the rights of eu citizens and a financial settlement by the uk must come before any talks on trade. from brussels damian grammaticas reports. at the heart of the eu 27 european leaders are ready brexit. their offer to the uk is ready to go. we all want a close and strong future relationship with the uk. that is absolute no question about it. but before discussing the future we have

to sort out her past. michel barnier is the man tasked with enforcing those red lines. everything ready for the uk negotiations? i think so. depends on the uk. 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. what do you think the illusions that the uk harbour are? sometimes i do not think they understand the process will set, as dazed

negotiation. there is no conspiracy, nobody is going up on britain. but the eu is being farm. the design of theresa may to talk about a future trade deal earlier on would be entertained. firstly the eu want to guarantee their citizens rights now enjoyed by 4 million people. a financial settlement in the uk must agree to pay all this portion of eu spending up to 2020. and solutions to avoid new border controls between north and south of ireland. in the eu side believe that even agreeing the first item on the rest would be straightforward. jean—claude yunker says the eu is able to give guarantees that is not so sure about the uk. we have put out a text which could be adopted originally of a british fans were ready to sign it like that. it will probably not happen. that is just one stumbling

block. mandy could be another before any talk about trade deals will start. —— money. by the standards of eu this was very fun language today. —— farm. —— firm. they have inserted some very clear pointers to what they want to see. as you are hearing there, on citizens rights and money in particular and what all those things involve a clear demand for the eu side that the want legally enforcea ble the eu side that the want legally enforceable rights and guarantees on those things stretching into the future. that will be a difficult opening position but what they would be keen to show today was that all 27 are united, on one page on this.

that at the minute seems to be the case but whether this continues into the future as negotiations get under way as individual countries find issues they care more about coming out the table we will see but for now they are very clear this is their position and they want these red lines stuck to if the uk wants to talk about trade deal. they are holding out for that possibility and to settle that down the line. the prime minister has again said that every vote for the conservatives in the coming general election will strengthen her hand in the brexit negotiations. theresa may was speaking on a visit to scotland — her first since calling a general election — we shouldn't be talking about a second independence referendum we should be working together and not

pulling apart. that is why see every boat for me and my team in this election will be aboard for strengthening my hand in the brexit negotiations and getting the best possible dealfor negotiations and getting the best possible deal for businesses per people here in scotland as across the whole of the united kingdom. the labour leaderjeremy corbyn has called for young people to "step up" and registerfor 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... over 2.4 million young people are missing from britain's electoral register. barely 40% of 18 to 2a—year—olds normally turn out to vote. the conservatives are more than

happy with this state of affairs. apathy and resignation will secure them seats on election day. the ukip leader paul nuttall has confirmed that he will run to be mp for boston and skegness. mr nuttall — out canvassing in hartlepool today — recently stood as a candidate in the stoke by—election. he said it would be an honour to be campaigning again in a constituency that voted overwhelmingly to leave the european union. 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. it's emerged that a man arrested in connection with a suspected terror plot,

is believed to have earlier attempted to travel to syria to join the islamic state group. mohamed amoudi, who is 21, was one of six people arrested in an operation on thursday night in which a woman was shot by the police . our home affairs correspondent june kelly is here. june what more can you tell us it has emerged that mohamed amoudi had come to the attention of authorities in 2015. 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? an update is that the woman is improving and hospital. and that one of the men was in syria last year. turkey has banned the internet encyclopedia wikipedia by blocking its online site

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
