a major hindu temple in india we'll look at what sparked the bomb it's. good to have you with us they tried again and again it fails european union leaders met in brussels tonight they had hoped to break the deadlock over a deal for britain to withdrawal from the e.u. and it seems they didn't get very far at all plans for an additional broadside summit in mid november have now been shelved leaders say more time is needed however british prime minister to resign may she says that most of the issues have been resolved although differences remain over what is known as the northern ireland border backstop. both sides say they want to ensure that
11:02 pm
there will be no physical border between northern ireland which is part of britain and the irish republic and what we've seen is that we've so place to be she's in withdrawal agreements there are still there is still the question of the northern irish backstop but i believe everybody around the table wants to get a deal done by working intensively and closely become a sheep that you could leave a deal physically for now is the time to make it happen. are there is to resume a she spoke fifteen minutes after the summit this evening other european leaders did not speak on the european side leaders say that there is willingness to strike a deal with britain but there is they say a long way to go. brix you must be all dirty for everyone and fall for the shoes including. a lot of out. so we need you need much time much more time and we continue to work even next weeks
11:03 pm
for. a million patient divine booted soon to close the time when we want good relations with the u.k. we would have liked the exit deal to be ready it's only ninety percent done and there's work ahead of us but i'm approaching it in the spirit of doing everything to reach a deal that would be better for everyone to see the state of the islands and some of it was the german chancellor angela merkel speaking there let's go now to brussels our correspondent max hoffman is covering the summit force good evening to you max you know we've heard the positive spin from european union leaders tonight cautious optimism but the fact remains there's not going to be a summit in november at least as far as we know tonight so are we looking at a case of them just kicking the brakes it can deal the road. here those sound bites were before the summit all of them and but the verdict after the summit which ended
11:04 pm
hasn't really changed now as for the november summit it hasn't been shelved completely yet they just didn't want to confirm it because they say it will only take place a sufficient progress in the negotiations has been made and they say that this is not the case it could still happen of course because the technical crews will continue to negotiate this deal so kicking the can down the road yes you could say that but they're adding something to it every day every week while the negotiating approaching that boiling point where something will have to give and there is talk of extending the transition period for the u.k. as it leaves the european union max how much of a concession. and is that a concession coming from the european union. it's a small step it's not the crucial step because the feeling here was that more time was needed anyway for the transition period actually the european parliament
11:05 pm
asked for three years from the start because they know how hard it is for example to negotiate a free trade agreement one possible outcome for future trade relations between the u.k. and the e.u. something like seat of the candidate many more years than three even three years would be very short but that is not the decisive factor at the moment what they're trying to do is find that divorce that withdrawal agreement and before they haven't done that they don't need to talk about what kind of you know how much transition period they need because if there's a hard brags that there will be just zero transition period and max briefly comparing the mood from the summit last month to what we had tonight is the breaks it solution or the mood around it is it getting better. it's not just about substance as and he said the president of the european parliament it's also about tone and atmosphere that seemed to be significantly better this time actually italian he talked about positive body language by teresa
11:06 pm
mayes at least was a step forward but in substance they haven't made big progress yet like i said earlier apparently the boiling temperature hasn't been reached yet yet but they're increasing they're cranking up the temperature and at some point something will have to get all right myself in the story for us in brussels tonight max as always thank you very much. at least nineteen people have been killed dozens injured in a shooting in russia annexed crimea the attack took place at a college in the black sea port of curch russian authorities say that an eighteen year old shot his fellow students and then shot himself to death. the drama unfolded at around noon with what sounded like an explosion conflicting reports followed some spoke of a bombing fueling suspicions of a terror attack on the crimean college. by the end of the afternoon it had become
