now the e.u. summit has just drawn to a close in brussels the talks are dominated by the latest u.s. surveillance revelations which have forced european leaders to reconsider their partnerships with washington france and germany are demanding talks with the u.s. on this issue by the end of the year the latest n.s.a. leak shows the agency has been eavesdropping on the conversations of thirty five world leaders and the e.u. has issued a statement warning that a lack of trust with washington could damage cooperation in intelligence gathering and also on top of that germany has decided to team up with brazil which was also targeted by the n.s.a. to push for a u.n. resolution restraining u.s. surveillance artie's test recently has more on the discontent in brussels. up to about thirty five world leaders were being spied on by the national security agency or the n.s.a. they were actually encouraging senior officials in various government departments like the white house the state department to share those cont

immigration is another issue rearing its head at the e.u. summit in brussels hundreds of africans drowned in the mediterranean sea earlier this month trying to reach european shores and overcrowded boats governments in southern europe are demanding more help from the rest of the e.u. to cope with the inflow of migrants artie's peter oliver met some of the people who fled their homelands. we have feed we are not anymore we have feeling we all want to be jobless homeless and thousands of kilometers from home this is the reality for refugees who were forced to flee violence in libya twenty eleven there is no option not even allowed to work in germany since i've been to germany i just slip and it does what i do they arrived in europe through its early however the italian authorities told them they couldn't stay and sent them packing with five hundred euros and give me some money i should go bank and collect the money i have the right to go anywhere what i want to go in soy just to leave it like yeah to live it to live because it truly is disaster and t

e.u. is meeting for instance the summit we're seeing a very strong push by france now to try and get some kind of control over me something that looks like european sovereign over data and that would come in the form of putting sort of taxes on data transfer and trying to take a much more stringent approach to the companies to predominantly american companies for policy information on so you know we often see rather quite concrete action responding to some very very tough rhetoric from the e.u. commission which is not prone to issuing tough rhetoric when things considered usually it speaks in the sort of diplomacy talk now it's using a much more robust language which does suggest that action is coming. well is he said this is tough rhetoric but what's interesting to see i mean the developments that will follow or not whether there will be any switch from words to action well speaking of action we at this point can see that germany and france are determined to establish so-called no spy agreement with the united states before the end of the year but then what about the u.k. why is the u.k.

indeed for joining us here on our sheet so we know that these prime minister wants to more or is e.u. summit to address this issue and of course easily. this burden to be shared among other e.u. member states and obviously wants e.u. asylum laws to be overhauled what kind of reaction can we expect from the e.u. members. well i think many e.u. member states are aware of the problem and are willing i think to contribute to the burden that's you know caused by the need to control the southern borders and also the eastern borders of the european union. but i think we have to make good agreements about who's going to do was think everyone is aware of the seriousness of the problem and. when we have a european union with no internal border controls anymore it's in all it's in the interest of all the other member states to see to it that the external borders are being controlled. right but isn't that i mean the situation in the middle east and north africa does not seem to be improving anytime soon but so who should be helping these millions of displaced people if the view closes or controls its bo

after all, next month lithuania hosts an e.u. summit aimed at forging closer ties with countries traditionally in russia's influence, like ukraine and georgia. now that's a recipe to make moscow mad. by the way, this is the man with the bans. russia's chief inspector, he's the official who always seems to announce the suspensions, and he claims that they have nothing at all to do with politics, but it's simply about protecting the health of russian citizens. now, i should say that these suspensions are normally temporary. georgian wine and ukraine yawn cheese are now back on the shelves here. personally, i really hope that russia doesn't fall out with everybody, because if that happens, dinner could be a bit of a problem. >> and doesn't he look good in an apron? now, her face defined the idea of beauty in the 19 auto 50's and 1960's. men idolized her, women tried to copy her, and photographers tried to capture her alluring looks. now it seems marilyn monroe may have had a little help from a surgeon. old x-rays have come to light that su
