government and the eu make concessions. >> jonathan blake.e'll be hearing a little more from him later in the program. now, it might be hard to believe that the last three months haven't been all about brexit. the government found itself on a back foot over a scandal for years. it affected thousands of people who were invited to come to the u.k. between the 1940s and 70s on ships like the hm windrush to help rebuild post-war britain. then landing cars were later destroyed. and when immigration rules were tightened earlier this decade, they found they didn't have the paperwork to prove their legal right to be in the u.k. and access benefits and health care. as the rile rumbled on, they told mps there were no targets for removing illegal immigrants. >> when were they set? >> we don't have targets. >> but it later turned out such targets did exist. they came to the commons. >> the immigration at the home office has been using local targets for internal performance management. these were not published targets against which performance was assesse

let's go to blake burman, who is live in brussels with more. hey, blake. reporter: hi, there, trish. it does draw a chuckle because the president is tweeting about this, talking about it non-stop leading up to the event. president tweeting on board air force one a little while ago, putting out the point out there nato member nations as he sees it, need to pay more, need to commit more to defense spending. many countries in nato which we're expected to defend are not only short of their current commitment of 2% which is low but are also delinquent of many years of payments not been made. will they reimburse the u.s.? the last point is a bit unclear exactly what the president means there, but you sort of get the point, how he feels about nato. however leading into this summit, one of the top leaders here in europe, donald tusk fired right back at president. watch the back and fourth from earlier this year. >> we're being taken advantage of by the european union. we lost $151 billion last year on trade, and on top of that, we spend at least 70% for nato. >> a

questions i put to bbc political correspondent jonathan blake.s baffling enough for those of us whose job it is to cover the process of brexit on a daily basis. i think people watching and listening and reading and trying to understand what is going on could be forgiven for being a bit confused and we have seen the government's position change, still, we hear that ministers disagree within the cabinet on whether that is the right way forward. and what about theresa may's style of government? has that it had an impact? i think theresa may's style of leadership means it can be difficult to get a handle on where the process ends up. she's not someone who sets out a big, bold vision and sticks to it no matter what, she is much more collegiate, day by day sort of leader whose position evolves over time and we have seen that throughout the process of brexit up until this point and of course the white paper that has been forward, the deal the government wants to get, is effectively a wish list and that position is going to have to evolve through the neg
