according to ms may, you are publishing brussels gossip. confirmed the report, although you should note that she hasn't denied any of the facts we are putting. in addition, the eu commission has confirmed my reporting. numerous colleagues have been asking them for confirmation. and i see they have confirmed it. so the problem here maybe that the dinner went badly because there was a misunderstanding between the interlocutors. in that respect, it shouldn't come as a surprise that theresa may walked away with a different understanding or impression from that dinner. 0bviously, that was the case for jean—claude juncker as well. 0bviously, that was the case for jean-claude juncker as well. why did your sources feel they had to leak this to you now? one would have to ask them. i think it conveys a sense of frustration. there has been this dinner. juncker conveyed his frustration when he left. i think he felt that he didn't manage to get his message across to theresa may. that is why after that meeting, he called the german chancellor angela merk

any indication as to why ms may has described the talks as constructive, and when jean—claude junckere summit that was held over the weekend, he also said that had been constructive? do you understand why he would turn around and we would now have a very different account of this meeting? in your report, he says that brexit cannot be a success. how do you understand this? well, constructive is a neutral way of describing any talks you have had. you can translate that, at least from the european side, as saying it has been constructive in the sense that we have said what we think about these negotiations. we have made clear our position and we hope the british government now has a better understanding of the complexity. so it is a fairly neutral way... in all the years i have been in this business, to say that talks have been constructive is a way of saying almost anything. and what is the german people's take on this? well, i realised today that the interest in this story is much bigger in britain than in germany. clearly, everybody here has followed events, but for the british govern

tough comments about europe follow a now infamous german press report of a difficult dinner between ms may the eu commission presidentjean claude junker which suggested the two sides are not even in the same galaxy, let alone the same planet. the prime minister also reminded british voters of the perils to their own security and prosperity if the negotiations don't go well. whoever wins on the 8th ofjune faces the task of getting the best possible dealfor faces the task of getting the best possible deal for the uk from brexit. in the last few days we have seen just how tough these talks are likely to be. britain's negotiating position in europe has been misrepresented in the continental press. the european commission ‘s negotiating stance has hardened. threats against britain have been issued by european politicians and officials. all of these acts have been deliberately timed to affect the result of the general election that will take place on the 8th of june. labour leaderjeremy corbyn said mrs may is taking the wrong approach to the negotiations. the risk to this country is a government

it's unclear how ms. may is going to react to all of this. but in the end, it seems as though, at least the authorities there in manchester for the time sbreeg made their decision and said, look, we're just not going to share any more intel with our colleagues in the united states on this simply because of what's happened so far already. and it's something that they take very seriously because this is a very, very important investigation that's going on. it could be a life-or-death matter in certain instances if, in fact, there still is an active cell here in this country that has the knowledge and has in the past already been able to manufacture bombs that kill a lot of people. so, right now they are investigating at a very high pace, and the last thing that they need is for their investigation to be hampered by leaks that are coming out, and it's something that they've made very clear and something where they say that in order to conduct this investigation without any more pitfalls, they need to just stop this information from flowing. so,

"fbi director comey was the best thing that happened to hillary clinton in that he gave her a free pass for many bad deeds." the question is, why did the fbi make public the e-mail investigation and not the parallel inquiry into the trump campaign's links with russia? the answer seems to be that core -- to be that congress had been told the e-mail investigation complete. investigation was complete and reopening in it needed notification again. jon sopel, bbc news, washington. tim: for more on comey's testimony, i'm joined by a senior writer at "u.s. news & world report." good to see you again. he had a lot to get off his chest. >> he did, and at the top of that there
