in my bloomberg speech three years ago i said the european union faced three major challenges. first the problems in the euro zone. they need to be fixed and that will require fundamental changes. second a crisis of european competitiveness as other nations across the world soar ahead and europe risks being left behind and third, a gap between the eu and it's citizens which has grown traumatically in recent years and which represents a lack of democratic accountability and consent that is felt, particularly acutely here in britain. these challenges are as britt cal n -- critical now as when i first set them out. countries need greater controls to manage the pressures of people coming in and while in britain were not part of the no boarders agreement so we have been able to set out our own approach and take refugees been the camp we need to reduce the high flow of people coming to britain from across all of europe. so the changes we're arguing for are substantial but they have a very clear purpose. to address the four key challenges and to maintain and advance the u.k.'s economic

wants from the european union. how much flexibility remains to be seen. the one area, the national question about the growing union, it is really hard. you need to get other -- the other 27 member states on board and in agreement. another area that will be difficult to address is the migration area. britain is wanting to stem the amount of people. they want people who arrive to not get benefits for the first four years, and if anybody has not found work in the u.k. for six months, britain wants to be able to send them back. this strikes at a fundamental principle of the european union, it's freedom of movement. of the davidd cameron speech that that was less than plausible to brussels. jeannie: tell us about the reaction from brussels and other member states. eve: we are starting to get those reactions. to address ane increased role, so there might be wiggle room there, however a number of elements would be highly problematic, notably the migration question, from the right-wing euro-skeptic party in britain. we have had statements that it is clear from the

on its own they wanted as part of the european union. they also said in terms of trade deal that is not about the size of your economy, it can be as important to have clarity of mission. if you're just the u.k., you don't have to worry about what all the other 27 members think. that was possible before the last referendum, i do not think that would happen today. the vast majority want the u.k. in the european union to be a pragmatic country with an open economy. i think it would be taken very that would beft, damaging to the european union and could lead to other countries thinking av this is a way to not have to obey the rules. i just don't think that what happened. we would be required to obey the same rules. do you think there is something conceptually standing in the way? one set of rules for those with the euro, and one without? jane: we can take a study like countries like norway, many believe that norwegian fisheries are disadvantaged because they do not have the same capabilities as the country within. they don't have anyone at t

suddenly all of the talk of repressionrepressions and abuses vanishing on the wind because the european uniony turkey to keep the refugees out. given how many european politicians describe the refugees as economic migrants, that sounds to some to be a highly hypocritical position for the european union to take. >> the european union is ready to give up human rights. its own values. why the european union actually exists and it is doing this on the back of the most vulnerable people, the refugees. >> reporter: so more than $3 billion will be found and given to turkey from more camps and presumably more barbed wire. perhaps it wilkens toot a life for the refugees, perhaps not. but clearly europe's new fences have not worked so they are pushing them even furthe further towards syria and iraq. laurence lee, al jazeera in berlin. >>> a leading opposition member has been arrested on al jazeera long with 86 members of his party. opposition leader is wanted by the police for throw tear gas in to parliament. he was take then to custody after appearing in public to speak to the crowds. we have this upd

we'd like to see the european union to be able to establish effective control on the external border,der between greece and turkey, about all we would like to see that the european union would be able to finalize and conclude the agreement with turkey in order to stop this migration flow or at least reduce it to a great extent, and about all we would like to see that the border is protected effectively, the border between slovenia and croatia. if we protect this border, if we control the flow of migrants here, it will prevent the illegal coming of migration, then it means that the european union can still preserve their freedoms of let's say freedoms of movement, of people, of goods and everything, otherwise if we start closing our borders, if germany closes its borders in austria and other countries. >> mr. prime minister, you've said a lot in the last few moments. i just want to unpack some of what you've said, because you just put a lot there on the table. what you're saying about turkey being the solution, thats external borders need to be preserved there. refugees in at your keys

we take all the steps, european union has a very clear guidance how to proceed in occasions just likes. and as i said we are closely following the results of the investigation and i will be able to comment officially on this event when i get official report. >> but can we expect a change however eu policy when it comes to aviation and perhaps a tightening of the process of regulation? you did say earlier this year when the accident hatched with germanwings, that the eu was working on improve entrance and exit procedures, as well as the medical monitoring of pilots. what's happened on that front and also what can you tell us about tightening regulations going forward? >> unfortunately, every accident is a very clear reminder that there is more to do in the sense of security and safety in aviation. so i'm pretty sure that this accident will inspire us, as well, to make the next step in -- ton field of safety and security. but as i said, at this point, i will have to wait for the official report before we can act. >> okay, let's move on to another topic. now you're here in the gulf becau

all of the things they were talking about, they were already being discussed within the european union. it just appears they are speeding up the decisions on these issues, and it would appear that a lot of the divisions between the different sides -- the passenger name record has really been divided as conservative his -- as conservative. socialist are saying this by get of data collection, because of the passenger name record, it would be that every time you take a flight, your credit card, your travel route, and even what you eat is taken by the airline and sends to this -- and sent to this center. there are questions as to what benefits you get from taking that privacy from the european population. it would appear today that we inht seeing it speed up decision like that. france also wanted to see a rapid border defense unit in place. we have been asking for that really since the start of this migrant crisis in europe, notably for more security on the greek-turkish border. athens had been against it until now, saying that they as a next owner -- as an external border to the schengen,

so i think in the end from the european union's point of view, head of the european council may well say it's a start and we want more discussions, fair enough, but what europe wanted to happen was for africa as a block to free on repatriating people by next year. any number of countries said we're not doing that because what we're offered in return from europe is nothing like against what we need to achieve for making africa livable. >> some african countries resistant to what's put forward, what will they do next? >> i think the answer is that dependency which countries you're talking about. some i think will now try to be picked off by european countries through bilateral agreements, which will mean european money going to police states and countries with very dodgy and poor human rights records. human rights groups say eritrea could receive european money for repatriating people in secret deals. more broadly what african countries want is a redrawing of the economic relationship with europe, climate change, the drought in ethiopia, corporate tax avoidance worth $50 billiont corpo

the european union wants to pay turkey to keep the refugees out.iven how many described the refugees as economic migrants, it sounds to some to be a hypocritical position for them to take. >> european union is willing to give up its human rights, its own values, why it exists. it is doing this on the back of the most vulnerable people, the refugees. >> so more than $3 billion will be found and given to turkey, for more camps and and probably more barbed wire. perhaps it will constitute a life for the refugees, and not. clearly the fences have not worked so they are pushing them further towards syria and iraq >>> heavy fighting tiaz forced hospital facilities to close. doctors warn of an akoout shortage of supplies. gerald tan reports. and a warning some of the images may be disturbing. >> reporter: the firecest of battles for tiaz. witnesses tell al jazeera they have not experienced heavy fighting before. the houthis and the elite republican guard surrounded the city since march. pro-government fighters supported by the coalition are trying to brea

liz: and france invoked the european union mutual defense clause similar to article 5 in the nato union, an attack on one of us is attack on all of us, and the rest of you have to defend. right now our markets are very tentative and shaky, geraldo. the dow is down 23. it had been up more than 116 points. a lot of fears. we are at session lose right now. h geraldo rivera, godspeed to you and your daughter. everybody should remember we all came from somewhere, and it's going to be a part of the massive front and center conversation here in the united states. again, 31 governors now don't want, it's largely symbolic because they would have to suit federal government to enact border closures. last we checked there is a holland tunnel, lincoln tunnel, gw bridge, very difficult situation when it comes to the migrant story. the closing bell 49 minutes away. cuba's aging dictator may have stopped democracy for decades but can't stop wi-fi. charlie gasparino with breaking news on the longtime media blackout that's about to crumble in cuba. charlie breaks that story right here. >>> and will the f

owe more when they have intelligence on passengers, and make sure all of these countries in the european union have that, because right now someone gets in, and there's really not much control on where they go, when they go, so they want to make sure once they get to an external border, it's just like u.s. citizens going back to the u.s., they are checked at that moment. >> right. we understand french officials found a third body in the saint-denis raid. what is the latest there? >> reporter: well, they have been unable to identify that body yet. but they are likely using the same forensic tests to try to identify this body. we don't know what database they are going to be comparing the remains to. they identified the woman who blew herself up. so it could be a matter of hours before they identify this body. and reminding our viewers, the main thing to remember abdelhamid abaaoud was killed in that raid, and he is the suspected architect of the attacks that happened a week ago. members of our team here have seen people starting to express more anger with the government outside of these vigils.

individualthink countries in the european union to embrace them. to admit them. this is the best interpretation i can give. if you want to hear what i really think, we will talk after the session. >> this is on the record as you know. one final question. then we are going to open it up for questions. i want you to say more about the issue.control how europeans are dealing with this. at is in bout -- remarkable accomplishment. used to be that you could not cross a national border without having your papers checked. they have constructed a border free europe. but the deal is, if you're going to have these illuminated, you have to have external border control. it is just a skeletal operation. very few assets. how are the europeans going to get a handle on the border questions? >> it is definitely a challenge. we have the luxury in the u.s. of having the coast guard having customs and border protection. federal agencies with broad authorities and responsibilities. although you have the european union, you have sovereignty issues with each state. it is challenging. ve

citizens who travel outside of the european union and then return.t the moment they are pretty much waved through by border controllers. now their pass ports will be swiped and their data taken. and in that way a database will be built up for potential fighters who travel out of syria and return to the european continent. at the moment the feeling is they are not being tracked effectively enough. other measures include a much, much tighter security regime on the edge of the schengen area. we're talking about fingerprints being taken of ever refugee and immigrant who enters the schengen area, it is not happening at the moment largely because the states cannot cope. now there will be officers spent to the hot spots to assist the local officers on the ground so that concerns about jihadists or radical foreign fighters being trained in syria and smuggling themselves back into the area, should be addressed by these kind of security measures. >>> the alawite village built to help the children left orphaned by the deadly ebola virus. >>> and asylum seekers

. >> it is a crucial requirement that the european union was hoping for. in the grand scheme of things, let's consider the numbers and how they changed over the summer. the central mediterranean route, which is where most of the africans came from. it's been eclipsed by greece. most of the people coming from the greek route are refugees, they cannot be pushed back. europe hopes to push back some people. >> we are out of time. very interesting. thank you >>> thank you very much. mohammed jamjoom reports from the greek island of lesbos on the uncertainly future facing many that succeed in making the dangerous crossing to europe. >> reporter: these days it seems like they have both all the time in the world, and no time to spare. with souls as tattered as their clothes are frayed they wait on a seemingly endless bureaucracy to decide will they be called migrants refugees. at this camp, where the wait stretches out for days, the four moroccan many say the desking in additions are practically meaningless. >> translation: i have brothers and sisters. i'm the old

. >> reporter: the european union wants to see an end to the military being guaranteed a quarter of the in parliament. the nld is certainly on track to be able to form the next government, but there are many challenges ahead. the army will remain a very powerful political force, and after enduring 50 years of dictatorship, a lack of trust in the military will take a long time to erode. the army will also maintain control of three key ministries and have veto power over any constitutional changes. >> actually this -- this should be a -- a concern of all of us because we -- we still have to negotiate, and we -- we have to make the compromise. >> reporter: there will also be questions about the nld's ability to run the country. but people are celebrating a change they believe will lead to a better myanmar. >>> still to come here on al jazeera, mourners gather as the son of a burundian opposition leader is laid to rest. >>> and how 3-d printing is changing the face of aircraft manufacturing. ♪ >> the only live national news show at 11:00 eastern. >> we start with breaking news. >> let's tak

african and european union positions were initially far apart at the summit. it was what diplomats described as a charged atmosphere. african leaders say the trust fund is too small. >> it is not enough, 1.8 billion euros? that's far from being enough. the needs are enormous. that's why we are calling on other partners to participate in the setting up of trust funds. >> on both sides -- what both sides are praising is an improved atmosphere of dialogue. the dialogue is clearly set to continue. sarah: and as one summit ends, another is already in the planning stages. later this month, eu leaders will meet with recep tayyip erdogan. turkey is seen as key to getting a handle on the migrant crisis. german chancellor angela merkel stressed the importance of getting ankara's cooperation. chancellor merkel: we want to better fight the causes of migration. and by doing so, reduce the number of refugees. all member states were agreed on that. sarah: and now, just a few minutes ago, our senior european correspondent summed up the day's developments at the malta summit,
