tell us what theresa may and jean—claude juncker have been talking about.nly just finished so we haven't yet heard the prime minister as we are perhaps expecting to this evening with some reaction to their discussion but it is likely to have focused on but the withdrawal agreement, phase one of the brexit process if you like, but rather the political declaration of the future relationship between the uk and eu. that is the broad outline running to about 20 pages or so, of how both sides see the relationship working in the future. 0n the last day there has been a sense the eu remaining 27 member countries aren't quite all on the same page about this. france raising concerns about fishing rights, after brexit, spain kicking up rights, after brexit, spain kicking upa bit rights, after brexit, spain kicking up a bit of rights, after brexit, spain kicking upa bit ofa rights, after brexit, spain kicking up a bit of a fuss about gibraltar. it may be those last details have to be ironed out before there is a text both sides can be happy with. there is back here at

theresa may was greeted by the president of the european commission, jean—claude juncker.t, donald tusk, who has recommended the eu approves the brexit deal. earlier, spain dropped its opposition to the agreement. madrid had raised concerns about its role in future trade arrangements involving gibraltar. let's speak now to amelia hadfield, professor of european and international relations at canterbury christ church university. shejoins me from our tunbridge wells studio. very interested on the document you tea m very interested on the document you team put together, delivering a brexit border. we heard from arlene foster early, she is not happy with this deal. when you look at the deal and you hear what arlene foster had to say, how would you describe this? you talk about the importance of borders and whether or not brexit will be a success based on these borders. absolutely, the whole point of the report was to show the point that borders themselves are the most critical, most concentrated aspect of brexit obviously. if the hold—ups at the borders, it has a knock—on effe

i know jean—claude juncker is digging looking some of the detail.s heels in today but they would have to look at something. is it possible in the new year that they could extend the article 50 process? theoretically possible, yes. if all 28 eu countries, a 27 plus the uk ee, 28 eu countries, a 27 plus the uk agree, then the article 50 process can be extended. there's not much appetite for it. if they thought it was just appetite for it. if they thought it wasjust going to appetite for it. if they thought it was just going to keep going appetite for it. if they thought it wasjust going to keep going round in the same argument we've been going through in the last year i did think they'd want to do that. if it's a case of a deal, maybe this deal or a slightly amended deal, although i am not sure about that... we need a few more weeks to complete ratification, if it really went on to the wire then i think the way could be found to do that. don't forget, there are a european elections at the end of may which means from about mid april to about mid—july,

but you had the ratherfirm position of jean—claude juncker.ion of jean—claudejuncker. they are not lecturing the house of commons but they're making lecturing the house of commons but they‘ re making clear to lecturing the house of commons but they're making clear to mps this is they're making clear to mps this is the only deal possible and those who think the deal can be changed he said will be disappointed seconds after the boat. —— vote. he thinks there will be an understanding in there will be an understanding in the room when they begin that second pa rt the room when they begin that second part of the negotiation that britain will be a third country unlike any other. that is too much water under the bridge she said. that is a firm position i think within the european commission that they will try and have a closer relationship with the eu as possible. it'sjust interesting listening to the number of people that the fact. first of alljust many of people that the fact. first of all just many people of people that the fact. first of alljust

a short time ago, we heard from jean—claude juncker, the european commission president.british lawmakers and mps to ratify the brexit deal. theresa may has negotiated that with european nude leaders rue warning it won't be modified or reopened. good deal, sad deal, not the deal itself but brexit is a sad moment for the european union, and i want to say for britain, too. the future will prove this. this is the best deal possible. this is the only deal possible. i'm convinced that those having to ratify this deal and in westminster and in the european parliament will have this in their minds when they are taking their difficult decisions. speaking at that same news conference we also heard from the president of the european council, donald tusk. ahead of us is is the difficult process of ratification, as well as further negotiations. but regardless of how it will all end... one thing is certain. we will remain friends until the end of days. so, all eyes now and the british parliament. what you're going to see over the next two weeks is a very vigorous pr campaign, with the

so isjust informal chats between theresa may and jean—claude juncker.t when actor rob delaney recently took on cbeebies storytelling duties, it led to a very special reaction from one young boy. as soon as he saw rob come on and he was using makaton, hejust, yeah, he wasjust so engaged and excited by it. although tom doesn‘t have any speech, he has a very expressive little face and he uses, he doesn‘t just sign, as you can see, but he uses his entire body, as you saw, including standing up in his chair, to be able to get across how excited he was. six—year—old tom has complex medical needs. during one of his trips to hospital, his mum and dad started using makaton sign language to help communicate with their son. there is something like a million people using makaton out there today as we speak to help their communication, ranging from those with learning disabilities, as we saw with tom, but also helping babies to acquire speech, looking at developing wider literacy skills and even working with people with dementia. the young boy‘s joyful response has

the european commission president, jean—claude juncker, addressed what would happen if mps rejected the. he was speaking to our europe editor katya adler. this is the best deal possible for britain. and this is the only deal possible, so if the house would say no, we would have no deal. it's not the intention of the prime minister nor of the cabinet nor of the parliament to go for a second referendum. this is the deal — this is the deal. and you are trying to help the prime minster sell it, actually, by saying this is the best deal possible. but surely it can't be the best deal possible, because right from the beginning, you and other eu leaders said it has to be very clear in this deal that life on the outside can't be as good as on the inside? if you're out, you are out — you are not part of the decision—making process. this is, by the way, a very sad moment for the european union and for britain. and we will discover in future years why i say today that this is a sad moment. i'm not happy, but i'm happy that we have a deal. there is a perception in much of the uk that this was a puni

european commission president, jean—claude juncker, says if the deal doesn't get through the uk parliamentrenegotiate. this is the best deal possible for both. i'm sad because watching the united kingdom, which is not nothing, the united kingdom, leave the european union, is not a moment ofjubilation but a moment of deep sadness. we've done everything possible to have this divorce be as smooth as possible, but there are no smooth as possible, but there are no smooth divorces. if the parliament says no and the uk is there any more you could do or is this as good as it gets? this is the deal. it's the best one possible. and the european union will not change its fundamental position when it comes to these issues. sol fundamental position when it comes to these issues. so i do think that the british parliament, because this isa the british parliament, because this is a wise parliament, while ratify this deal. this is the deal and it will not change, that will be used to the ears change, that will be used to the ea rs of change, that will be used to the ears of leo varadkar who had this to say
