is, mything interpretation of what donald tusk has said overnight, we need to accept that there is ace for leaving. there is absolutely no real negotiating power of continually going down the path of we want the best, but we want out the bits we don't like. it is not very smart. the e.u. isn't going to allow any country to leave without any cost. i don't think we've really recognized that yet. i would go seek quiet meetings with him. what is the least amount of cost you will start talking seriously about negotiating? every time an event happens like last week, within a day or so, they are saying it is not enough. they are like, you are the ones with all the risk, so you come to us with something definitive, then we will take negotiations seriously. a year later, there's not anything of materialness happening. francine: what is the chance of the u.k. crashing out, and do we need to wait for angela merkel to sort out her coalition and talk about trade at the same time we talk about the divorce bill? gilles: i've always been surprised by this presentation in the british press about, dow

about the merging of the presidents of the european commission and the european council currently donald tusk job she said potentially europe could just do with one president doing both roles other areas where he spoke about the potential for closer integration included the idea of a european economy and finance minister it would necessarily be a new job it could be a role that was filled by an existing vice president of the european commission and other areas where he spoke about the cooperation that there is has been within europe and appears to be wanting to move forward is on areas such as migration and security in migration for example and refugees he said that seven hundred twenty thousand people had been granted asylum within the e.u. so far as a result of the most recent refugee crises and that that would continue however he said strengthening the policy towards returning those who are not entitled to asylum would also be a priority for the european union on brics it he had to say that he regretted the decision that the britons had made but he pointed out when he was heckled by the br

theresa may was briefed by donald tusk, to say don't talk about brexit. she was brex—zipped.gela merkel about the fact that in three weeks' time she will have to find out is there significant progress so far. this is what theresa may had to say when she arrived earlier this morning. i have set out in my florence speech the progress we have made on a numberof the progress we have made on a number of issues and the vision i have for the deep and special partnership that we can develop with the european union in future. i'm pleased the negotiations have been making progress and i look forward to developing that deep and special partnerships with the eu because i think it is in the interests of the eu as well as the uk. as all the leaders arrived earlier today, some of them did talk about brexit. i managed to have a word with jean—claude juncker. it is managed to have a word with jean—claudejuncker. it is worth saying this is a man who was a conduit for these talks, he's the boss of michel barnier, involved in every round of these talks. he also has a pinball machine, known as an

president three some may and the european council president donald tusk are meeting in london and then later they will travel to the stony and capital tallinn of for a dinner with european leaders topping the agenda at both meetings of course as breck's it i mean phillips joins us live now from moore so we have any specifics on what they are going to talk about obviously praxair understand. yes rachelle in fact the meeting has just ended all to squeeze in downing street for about an hour and a half and he came out and made some brief comments to us out here in the street on the positive side he said that he was cautiously optimistic that the tone from the british was constructive more realistic that the days of having cake and eating it is finally coming to an end this is than to the european point of view that the british have not been realistic about bret's it that they want to keep all the advantages of e.u. membership even after they've left and it is a philosophy in european minds particularly associated with britain's foreign minister boris johnson who is not a popular man in man

the fact is that donald tusk, the head of the council, said to theresa may that she cannot top brexitr dinner. this is a manual and's speech, talking about the future of europe. in some way, she is a bit of a guest of the lara person's party. solidarity is not mentioning brexit. we shall see! gavin, thank you very much indeed. dinner without brexit. how nice would that be? i see this fundamental split still existing in the cabinet. one of the big red lines it seems for david davis is the european court of justice having some role in a future brexit britain. and when you look at the cabinet, you have two sides. you have the chancellor, philip hammond, who wants the norway model with a bit more. what you might call, you know, high access, low control. then you have the boris camp, they want low control and high access. canada plus. they have not resolved that in the cabinet. you think, how can david davies get over the line in the european court ofjustice when they do not know yet which model they do not know yet which model they want? it is a discussion in cabinet that has to be resolv

president and donald tusk of the e.u. council two she said things like the need for unity is what's parent paramount to this time particularly after the u.k. does leave the european union she also referred to the fact that there are common challenges things like terrorism and she reflected upon the refugee crisis where italy has played a very prominent role she wants to focus not on the differences between nations but on a shared vision but i think at this stage sharing that vision across the e.u. member states is a bit of a struggle there are still outstanding questions before negotiations can move forward to do with the status of ireland she was touching upon it there the border would know that on the part of the u.k. what's going to happen to three million e.u. nationals living in britain and we're also is going to happen when it comes to britain's break free we are expecting her to put a deal on the table that could come a little later on in her speech all right let's hop over to bonnie philips he joins us live from l

of the european commission and the europe and presidents of the european council so both he and donald tusk currently occupy those two roles. junk i would like to see them come together as one role he also had issues of investment for example so investment screening he wants to see more stringent investment screening so that the ownership of infrastructure within europe such as ports and major infrastructure projects and big companies that the ownership is not necessarily passed outside of europe in a way that might jeopardize the e.u. security but he also had some words for brics if there was regret that britain had decided to take the path that it has chosen to take a but he said that while britain will regret it and i'm sure that europe regrets it too it is an opportunity for the remaining twenty seven to come even closer together and he's proposing a special summit essentially on the day that britain leaves thirtieth of march two thousand and nineteen in romania to build on the europe that has gone before and create a new europe based on the principles that he set out in his speech he h

that was donald tusk, and he is important here, they are meeting at this cultural centre and his aunte most of it away. these leaders are not here to talk about brexit, we and others may be persona non grata because the message theresa may got earlier this week when donald tusk came to see her was not to mention the b word, don't talk about brexit in front of other leaders at the dinner last night where they listen to emmanuel macron talking about the future of the eu without the uk when it comes to integration and defence and the economy. we are waiting right now, if we can show you, this is where the leaders will arrive in the next five minutes with emmanuel macron and theresa may arriving soon. theresa may will talk about in the sidelines, what they call by the way diplomacy, what are the chances of a good deal because in three weeks they have to have some kind of an a nswer they have to have some kind of an answer from the leaders as to whether there has been significant progress or not so this is almost a warm up. and what does this mean for brexit going forward? stepping back fr
