president of the european commission jean—claude juncker was doing a of the european commission jean—claudejunckerers make when they have a summit. but then in the question and a nswer summit. but then in the question and answer session afterwards a british journalist asked if he was aware that the british foreign secretary had effectively said that president jean—claude juncker was part of had effectively said that president jean—claudejuncker was part of a plot to create a meet eu superstate. at that point the mood changed dramatically. as you can see in the clip. some in the british political society are pretending i'm a stupid, stubborn federalist in favour of a european superstate. i'm strictly against a european superstate. we are not the united states of america, we are the european union which is a rich body because we have these 27, 28 nations. the which is a rich body because we have these 27,28 nations. the eu which is a rich body because we have these 27, 28 nations. the eu cannot be built against the european nations. so this is total nonsense. the irony is the reasonjean—claude junck

jean—claude juncker then went on jean—claudejuncker then went on to say, to unveil plans about reformingotentially a bigger budget and is directly elected president. so some would say he went on to make borisjohnson‘s point, because that does sound like something on the road to a eu superstate. in terms of how the speech has gone down here, people in these offices here were listening and they will read later this afternoon. but the fact is, it does not make a huge difference to the negotiations at the moment. they are waiting for a formal british position on the attitude to their future relationship with the eu after brexit and that will come from the prime minister and not boris johnson. thank you. the actor minnie driver has resigned as an ambassador for oxfam, saying she's horrified by the sex scandal claims at the charity. it comes as oxfam's regional director in asia has told the bbc she is aware of past abuse cases involving the charity's workers in the philippines, bangladesh and nepal. matt cole reports. what happens in haiti? that is the focus of the charity commission enquiry w

the president of the commission, jean—claude juncker, said to president of the commission, jean—claudejuncker until he has seen the detail of what the uk has agreed. in brussels, a busy day of summits, a crush of presidents and prime ministers in town. an unusual sight, the eu's top leaders walking from one meeting . the next, but no uk one meeting to the next, but no uk leader. the day after theresa may and her cabinet thrashed out that approach to future ties, the eu leaders are still waiting to hear what the uk wants. but with this warning... it is not possible to be aligned to the european union when it suits and not when it doesn't, thatis it suits and not when it doesn't, that is not possible. so i think the united kingdom really needs to square that circle and it doesn't appear to me that circle has yet been squared but hopefully when the prime minister speaks next - the prime minister speaks next week the united kingdom will be more clear! what it wants in terms of the about what it wants in terms of the new relationship, and will back that with real detail. at today's up with real de

technical battles going on, jean—claude juncker made —— some intriguing technical battles going on, jean—claudejunckere of the european commission president and the european council president. that is not going to be discussed here today, because most of the leaders think it's a terrible idea. so it might sound quite geeky and technical but it's an interesting little battle going on behind the scenes. in terms of brexit, that's what we really want to hear about, let's be honest, there is a tiny mention of it in the agenda today, donald tusk is going to update some of the other leaders on the process they were going to follow to construct their blueprint for the phase two of the brexit talks, which will be about the shape of the future relationship with the uk. that is starting now and that will be what happens here in the next few weeks. it will culminate, the next time these leaders meet on the next time these leaders meet on the 22nd and 23rd of march, when they will adopt their big policy for what they want to see as a future relationship going forward. so that is their version of the chequers away

in a few hours time, the president of the european commission —jean claudejuncker — will outline hisposals for the future eu budget. he'll be working on the basis that the uk will be leaving the union. and this will deprive the eu of between twelve and 13 billion euros every year — that's around $1546 billion. currently 1% of the bloc‘s gross national income goes towards the budget, but mrjuncker has already called for members to contribute more when the uk departs. in addition, the eu's budget commissioner has already said that the union will need to make spending cuts across the board — this includes a modest scaling back of the common agricultural policy. let's get more on this story from paul hofheinz — president of the lisbon council, a brussels based think tank. this is a big black hole. will certain companies have too step up? —— country? they will collate the way they have filled everything. will pull some here and push some there, and then put it in the oven and bake. but the short answer is where there will start, some countries will pay some more. the good news is that for
