i am in the european council, just a couple of hundred meters away from the european commission, thes as well. what is interesting is that leader after leader arriving today was emphasising that we‘re notjust here to talk about brexit, and far from it. the issues that they raised as priorities: migration — there are still many thousands of people coming into the eu — and how the eu discourages people from doing that or manages them when they arrive is still a pressing issue. then there is defence and security. there are regular terror attacks in the eu at the moment. and there are lots of questions about how the eu organises defence. then there is the economy — jobs and growth getting a lot of emphasis. let‘s bring chris back in on the issue of the fence, because i think people in the uk will be quite surprised to see the eu moving so far so fast on this. there are many issues, but one of them on which the uk has held back the rest of the eu has been defence. for years, the uk has been defence. for years, the uk has been defence. for years, the uk has been the country saying, we have

welcome back to the european council here in brussels.just this summit and the build—up to it, but also the uk election, is where ever we have been, whether on the beach in cornwall or talking to the beach in cornwall or talking to the prime minister of the netherlands, everyone is saying they would like more information on brexit, and that has been brought up by the number of questions you are sending in. there is a thirstjust to know what is. the race. it is one of the things we saw in the recent election campaign. there is a lot of rhetoric but very little detail about what brexit might mean in practice and about some of the compromises that will have to be made on the uk side and the eu side if we are to get a decent deal for everyone. i do feel we have not necessarily had an honest debate about brexit yet maybe it is time to start. matt wants to say, i thought we we re start. matt wants to say, i thought we were supposed to not get a running commentary on brexit negotiations, so why is this been made public? the formal negotiating ro

we will take you straight to brussels as the president of the european council is talking so let us europeandure on locating the two uk—based agencies. this allows for the 27 leaders to agree the procedure on relocating the two uk based e0 agencies. a decision to reduce the uncertainty caused by brexit. additionally, the prime minister informed us that she will make her proposal on the rights of eu citizens in the uk. citizens' rights are the number one priority for the eu 27 and two have made our position clear. we want to ensure the full right for eu and uk citizens after brexit. my first impression is that the uk's offer is below our expectations and that it risks worsening the situation of citizens, but it will be for a negotiating team to analyse the offer line by line whilst we receive it on paper. as a matter of fact, brexit took very little time at the european council. we devoted most of oui’ european council. we devoted most of our work to addressing peoples concerns over security, illegal migration and uncontrolled globalisation. this morning, we met with the ecb president to conf

the european council meeting, as it is officially called, is scheduled for times a year.ra summits are sometimes called to discuss urgent issues. as always, france and germany play a pivotal role. at this summer, however, if you key differences. attending for the first time is french president emmanuel macron, a staunch eu supporter. also there, but weakened by election results, its embattled british prime minister, theresa may. with brexit talks under way, she will give an update on plans, but won't negotiate with other leaders. she is expected to outline an offer on the rights of 3.2 million eu citizens living in the uk. overall, the focus is on security and migration. strengthening border cooperation of bid terrorism threats, and striving for an agreement on taking in asylum seekers. opposing forces are at work, here, where on one hand the eu is dealing with uk as a departing member, an unprecedented movement, but it is looking to strengthen the remaining 27 countries. —— the relationship between the remaining. that lays out the plan for the next two days. i am joined

we cannot come back to all the pieces of the negotiation in the next european council. he speaks german and less question. the loss question. to just come back that the british a few below expectations, can you just spell out why that seems to be the case? and a question on trade and investment for any of the leaders. it's the watering down of the language in the conclusions on trade and particularly on investment screening. is that a sign of the limits of macron‘s charm offe nsives ? of the limits of macron‘s charm offensives? it's obvious that the impact of brexit on citizens' writes is negative. and our role is to... reduce this negative. but unfortunately, objective outcomes and stop mac and that's now go to theresa may, also speaking in brussels. that is why we will play a full role well we are members of the european union and why we want a deep and special partnership with oui’ deep and special partnership with our eu friends and allies after with ease. last night, i was also able to update other readers on the uk's proposal to give reassurance and certainty to e

the president of the european council, we do know when they start but we know when they must end.g. we now have triggered article 50 and that means we are supposed to have an agreement on leaving the eu in place by the end of march 2019. that could be extended but only if all 28 countries including the uk agree. so, it's a little bit messy and in conclusion, across the eu, and for many here and for many businesses, there is a feeling that all this election has really done for brexit is waste time and add to the uncertainty. our europe editor katya adler is in brussels. what impact is this going to have on brexit? a big question mark not only in the uk but here as well. we heard from the man who represents all the other 27 member states, donald tusk, here in brussels and he says there is no time to lose. brexit is definitely an issue but it has a whole load more, problems with immigration, worries about russia and an uncorrectable american president. it once brexit done and dusted and any uncertainty is worrying for the eu as well as the uk. although there is a lot of uncertainty a

theresa may has gone to the european council, meeting of the heads of government, a regular meeting andhave lots of things to discuss, by the way. brexit is not top of the agenda for the other 27 nations. they have many issues to deal with. i can understand the sense of frustration from them. what britain wants is not clear to our european allies and friends. this process has been delayed by a leadership election last year, theresa may chose to delay it by two months by having an election in which she thought she would win a majority for what is called bohar brexit. she completely lost her majority and has no mandate for her hard brexit or any part of the eu negotiation strategy and the reality of a hung parliament means that a very small part, pro—european tories in her own party will be able to scupper significant parts of a plan as it goes through. she has arrived in europe, she's been humiliated by the british electorate, she still does not have a plan and the plan she does have is likely to be voted down by herrerin party. so if you are a european leader you are not sure whether, w

little surprised about how everything turned out looking back to that night two years ago at the european council we always knew that greece would need to go down a difficult road and that is still the case. so we cannot give the greek people of the lesion -- the illusion that everything is fixed. they still need to establish a good administration. they are on the right track. this is also difficult that i'm not surprised that it took a little longer than agreed. brent: a tired but optimistic finance minister in luxembourg. thanks very much for covering the story. that is all from the business desk. we are going to hand you back over for some sports. volkswagen has -- they have arrived in germany for the turn it. -- for the tournament. the team reached at their home base in so she -- sochi on thursday morning. they will have plenty of time to prepare for their opening match in australia. there -- they were given a warm welcome in russia including full fingers in traditional makeup -- folk singers in traditional makeup and dress. i want to watch surfing for a minute. it was a high-scoring final ag

the chinese premier and the european council president in talks that were meant to cement a clclimatelllliance. the eu and china oppose the u.s. withdrawing from the paris accord, was drawing -- dedescribing it as a hisistoric mistake. our dw correspondent joins us now from brussels. good to see you. for two days, china and the eu have given the impression they are shoulder to shoulder on this. what were they really disagreeing over? reporter: they may be closely shoulder to shoulder on climate. it was other disagreements that through the joint communiquÉ off-track. to be fair, officials on this end in brussels are not calling the summit a failure. they are saying this is the most promising chinese -- china-eu summit in recent history. what we are told happened is that while both sides are clearly in shock about trump's climate position and both want to stand up to it, they could not -- steel dumping. the u.s. is upset about the high production of china's steel. there are wto this bites -- disputes. they just couldn't settle those things today, despite three hours of extra talks. the
