leaders for brexit. that's right ready for brexit. we all want a close and strong future relationship with the uk, but before discussing the future, we have to sort out our past. 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. sometimes i have the impression that

some in britain, i do not mean the government, do not understand the process of phased negotiation. there is no conspiracy, nobody is going up in britain. but the eu is being farmer. the desire by theresa may of talking about a trade deal early on will not be entertained. —— the eu is being farmer. eu citizens in the uk and eu citizens in britain —— british citizens in the uk number 4 million people. the eu believe that

citizens rights will not be straightforward. he is prepared to give guarantees that he's not sure about the uk. we have already prepared a text that could be adopted immediately if a british friends were prepared to senate that will probably not happen. that is just one stumbling block. money could be another before talk about trade deals could start. earlier my colleague in brussels, ben brown, spoke to markus becker from the german publication, der speigel. he said that he believes the united front being presented by the eu 27 is genuine. the contents of the guidelines were well known beforehand so this summit has shown they are united so far. we will see how long this unity will

hold when the real negotiations begin. do you think it might not hold? you think my big differences between the countries? there are and a lwa ys between the countries? there are and always have but i think that the unity of the eu, especially in the view of what happened in the last few years is so important for those countries that they think will remain unified more or less. many people see germany is the most important country in the european union and directs policies in some sense. what is the sense? we had from angela merkel there is no conspiracy against britain but what is the german pew, what do you think? -- is the german pew, what do you think? —— view. is the german pew, what do you think? -- view. she is right that is no conspiracy. britain asked to leave the eu and you have 27 european countries and the other side. of course they will speak with a unified voice. as for the german

pew at the german pew is rather matter. brexit is not the most important issue at the moment in germany because we have an election coming up to. i don't think anybody is willing to punish the uk for brexit, however i think in the end people for brexit united kingdom will try to portray the brexit deal asa will try to portray the brexit deal as a kind of punishment because the to ta ke as a kind of punishment because the to take responsibility for the mess it is likely to create. a lot of people here in brussels are saying that because of that general election negotiations want to restart until the autumn. is that the way you see it? —— won't restart. i think they will start after the british electionjune. in germany brexit is not the most important issue in the general elections so i don't really see that there is a big hindrancejust because of the general elections.

and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30pm this evening in the papers — our guests joining me tonight arejohn rentoul, chief political columnist at the independent, ruth lea, economic adviser for arbuthnot banking group and the broadcaster charlie wolf. three people, c particularly, joining us because it isn't 100 days of the joining us because it isn't100 days of the trump presidency. each of the reviews are longer than normal. i hope that will please you. about 25 minutes each time. 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. our correspondent glenn campbell reports. a world away from the eu summit on

royal deeside near aberdeen. theresa may and scottish conservative leader with davidson came here to address an invited audience of supporters as the tories target snp held territory in the hope. if the snp win the election in scotland what frightened you have two block a second referendum on independence once the terms of brexit are clear? right now we should be working together and not pulling apart. that is why i say that every vote will be a abort to strengthen our hand in the brexit negotiations. for leaflets were posted but no one answered the prime minister is not. for many years the

tories have been toxic in scotland and like labourand tories have been toxic in scotland and like labour and the liberal democrats they still have only one mp but they are confident they can make gains in scotland at the selection at the expense of the snp. in glasgow the snp first minister knows it will be hard to hold 56 scottish seats won by her partyjust two years ago. but opinion polls suggest that the snp is on course to return more mps than all the rivals put together. this election doesn't sure that decisions about scotland are taken by the scottish people, not in westminster by right—wing tory government. labour says the conservatives have put the union between scotland and england at

risk. it has given them the second referendum chance because of her gamble with brexit. 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. 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 said that he will stand as a candidate in the general

election in the boston and skegness constituency. 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. 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 our home affairs correspondent june kelly is here. 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? 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. a man has appeared in 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 had 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. 0ur reporter leanne brown was at the hearing: 29—year—old ryan gibbons of arrowfield road in chorlton appeared here at manchester and salford magistrates court charged with three counts. one of murder, one of burglary and one of aggregated vehicle taking. he spoke only to confirm his name and address. the charges are in connection with the death of 35—year—old

of state rex tillerson called for a tougher international approach — at the united nations security council. 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 reminder of headlines. as eu leaders sign of the negotiating position on budget with a one minute

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 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. violence has broken out in brazil, as police clash with anti—austerity protestors. police used tear gas to disperse crowds. it happened at the end of the country's first general strike in more than 20 years, where trade unions protested against president michel temer‘s pension reforms. from sao paulo, here's daniel gallas. brazil once again in a state of chaos. and territory demonstrations and we did you know you'll quickly turned violent. the police were called in and the clashes

to go through this? we're going to fight but who will fight the right way. the strike was weak and people that understand that. the strike does not make sense and the fall to happen. the president before the clash and said his government will with his plan and will work to modernise the laws the country. the congress will start posting on the pension reforms next week. —— voting. the hope is that people power will work. president trump is marking 100 days in office and he'll celebrate the anniversary at a big rally in pennsylvania. for decades american presidents have been judged by their performance over that first three months on thejob. here's the president's assessment of how he's doing.

actually believe that the first 100 days of my administration has just been about the more successful and oui’ been about the more successful and our country's history. the most fundamental change can be found on the relationship between the people and the government. for too long politicians care by special—interest than they did about very successful future for all americans. they took oui’ future for all americans. they took our taxpayers money and sent our jobs are two other countries. not any more. michelle 0bama has ruled out a future bid to be us president — saying "politics is tough" and she wouldn't do it to her daughters. speaking in herfirst public address since leaving the white house, she described how her family were enjoying the freedoms in their new lives. both michelle and barack are writing separate memoirs in a book deal worth $40 million. over the past few years many museums have tried to shake off their dusty
