so in 11 other countries, that's ten in the eu plus norway, uk stu d e nts that's ten in the eu plus s can study for free because home students don't pay any fees there. other countries also charge pretty low tuition fees. in france, state—funded universities charge between 180— 600 euros per year. of course there can be language hurdles to ove rco m e course there can be language hurdles to overcome in studying abroad, but many universities, like germany, off of —— offer courses in english, giving native english speakers and advantage. we don't have any exact figures for the overall uk students setting in the eea... that is still a lot lower than england, there are 2700 78 students in the uk in 2016-17. quite 2700 78 students in the uk in 2016—17. quite an increase from the previous year. the obvious question is what is likely to happen after brexit? the eu and uk have agreed that during the proposed post brexit transition period, from march 29 next year until the end of 2020, the rules will stay the same as they are 110w. rules will stay the same as they are now. and as long as you

well, i believe the workforce in wales and the rest of the uk have contributed to the success the uk success of airbus and it would be very foolish of them do about it on their back on that worked was when ultimately so much success as a company has been derived from the technology developed here in wales and the rest of the uk and the dedication of that workforce deserves better than some of the state m e nts deserves better than some of the statements that have come out today. the uk government is engaged with businesses across the country, we are now moving into these discussions and negotiations. ultimately i believe, as the uk does, that we can get that good deal. 0k, sadly we have to let you leave. thank you very much, leader of the conservatives in the welsh assembly. let's stay with this very much and get the latest from westminster. 0ur political correspondentjonathan westminster. 0ur political correspondent jonathan blake who westminster. 0ur political correspondentjonathan blake who has been following all the reaction to this today. you heard there, one view is it is megaph

this affects the 3.8 million eu citizens in the uk and the 900,000 uk citizens in the eu.the country for five years by the end of 2020, the end of the brexit transition period, will be able to apply for "settled status", which means they can work and live in the uk. if they haven't been here for five years, they'll be able to apply to stay until they reach that threshold, and can then seek settled status. let's get more details from our assistant political editor norman smith. since we spoke, more detail emerging from sajid javid, including how this will operate online and via a smartphone app, but not every smartphone. not if you have an apple iphone. there are problems with downloading the app, which will allow applicants to get their passport digitally red. if you have an apple iphone there seems to be a problem, which does highlight the complexity of the scheme, even though the aim today is to reassure eu migrants this will be a straightforward and easy—to—use scheme which can be completed swiftly online. he said that officials would process it within a couple of weeks

it is up to the uk. i mentioned earlier, a free—trade agreement with the whole of the uk. 0n the proposal that has been put forward by the uk, i only received this document yesterday, early afternoon, we look at it overnight and we will continue to look at it. i don't have any firm ideological stance on this. is it a temporary baxter? —— backstop. no, backstop means backstop, as i have said, and the uk has said that this is not addressing the question of regulatory alignment. you don't want a border and we agree that we don't wa nt a border and we agree that we don't want a hard order, then there has two b and agreement on customs aspects —— has to be an. and also an agreement on regulatory alignment, and that is missing. backstop means backstop, as i said, so i'm just identifying problems so you don't set off on the wrong track. swiss television. translation: is it too early yet... you are watching bbc news, and michel barnier is taking questions in brussels. we will listen in because he's making some in

let me clear, be very clear, our backstop cannot be extended to the whole uk. s that in private, the eu officials and diplomats they say that what was presented yesterday wasn't actually an alternative to the backstop as the uk said, it is something else. it isa the uk said, it is something else. it is a big proposal about future operations and customs. if you see michel barnier comments in that context, you see what he strained to do, which is focusing attention back on the idea that northern ireland is a special case and has to be treated separately from the rest of the uk and isn't about customs, its about northern ireland following lots of rules or the single market. not that isa rules or the single market. not that is a very tricky proposition for the uk, forall is a very tricky proposition for the uk, for all the reasons we have discussed. particularly politics and the conservative party and the dep which help prop up the government in westminster. so that is what michel barnier is doing, this very long press c0 nfe re nce , barnier is doing, this very lon

they would not be able to crash the uk out. ively, at least, crash out with parliament agreeing in the affirmative agreeing to leave without a deal. so this is the big difference. when i speak to eu foreign ministers and heads of government, people are getting that because of the parliamentary arithmetic of the parliament in the uk, although you are negotiating with the uk government, they currently have a negotiating position for which they don't know they have supported our parliament and that makes it difficult for our european partners. you said if we don't crash out, you accept the deal or remain. isn't that the crux of the issue? you just want to stop brexit. i've been absolutely honest about that. i would love to stop brexit. but you voted for article 50, which triggered the process... i shall explain why. i'm really clear. people think this is some revelation. of course i want to stop brexit. people voted for brexit. i don't get to decide. it's not a dictatorship. it's about the people and the people determine that they

i spoke to the boss of bmw in the uk. d, similarly, we need clarity over the next few weeks, otherwise we will have to start stocking parts. millions of components coming from all over europe, they are assembled here, then exported around the world. if you throw sand in the engine such as delays at the border that can impact business negatively. what happens next? the government is saying it is not our intention to crash out of the eu without a deal. that's not the eu without a deal. that's not the direction of travel. we don't wa nt the direction of travel. we don't want that, brussels doesn't want that, we are making efforts to get a deal done. don't worry. but what happens next is that there is a summit in europe next month. heads of state will meet to thrash out a deal. the white paperfor our withdrawal comes after that. i'm also told that in that document, around that time, we will get a clear idea of what customs arrangements the government wants, and getting clarity about that, i think, will give businesses somethin

this warm weather, it looks like it will be warming up in the southern half of the uk. coming in from the south, but it never really reaches scotland or northern ireland. it takes almost a turn and ends up in europe. humid and warm winds from the south—west. with that also comes quite a bit of cloud, maybe some spots of rain. but the weather front here that separates the cooler air in the north and that in the south will be drifting across northern ireland and eventually into scotland. and that spells rain for places like glasgow a little bit later in the day. wednesday, the weather front is expected to sink a little bit further south across the country. that means that the area of warmth across the south of the uk will also be pushed a little bit towards the south. so here's the weather front. behind it, we've got fresh air in place in scotland, northern ireland and northern england. cloudy conditions with a few spots of rain. and then the extreme south—east here retains the heat on wednesday. the weather front be pushing the heat further south. look how very hot it is

european council meeting had been seen as a crucial staging post in the protracted negotiations over the uk's departure from the eu and, as it happens, the growing political disagreement over migration dominated the agenda. but, as ever, brexit was under discussion as well. amid all the disputes about migration, theresa may had just a brief chance to talk to the assembled leaders about brexit. her message to them? we are ready to intensify and accelerate the pace of negotiations. i want to see that from the european commission and the european union as well. more than a year into the negotiations, the eu says the uk still does not have a clear negotiating position and it needs to see one. she headed home, excluded from today's brexit discussion. controversy has, of course, accompanied every stage of the brexit process, including the way it has been reported on bbc news. for many, the corporation fails to provide balanced coverage, with louise vale putting it like this... brexit has been reported as though it was a sensible, viable alternative to the status quo. when it isn't. if it goes ahead

the eu benefits from uk intelligence. re is an absolute feeling here that we need each other, whether over the russia poisonings in the uk recently or cross—border terror attacks, poisonings in the uk recently or cross— border terror attacks, eu leaders are not happy at the hard line the commission has taken about sticking to the rules. you will see some pushback they are. these are negotiations and they are uncomfortable. everybody is going to try and seems strong. the end of the day, even though both sides today will threaten the deal, wants that. because that would be detrimental to everybody. they will do their utmost to avoid it. if you did a straw poll and asked british people who their hair icon was, i think it's fair to say donald trump wouldn't be top of the list. maybe not for nigel farage, though. the former uk independence party leader sent the internet into a frenzy after appearing on tv with very blonde looking hair, with speculation he was hoping to align his appearence closer to that of the us president's.

for an ambitious offer from the uk for an ambitious offer from the uk for an ambitious trade deal hbag. i am joined by caroline lucas and labour's nick cummins summons. does it matter that we don't have a white paper? we have learned that at the last moment to may tends to pull off these negotiations. it matters for businesses if not the negotiators themselves. businesses in brighton, themselves. businesses in brighton, the nhs and tourism industry, they are desperate to know what endgame we have, and it feeds into the shambles surrounding the government's handling of brexit. i was interested that jeremy corbyn we nt was interested that jeremy corbyn went on brexit, i think because he knew he couldn't be worse than she is, and this idea we will have 15 amendments to be discussed next week in12 amendments to be discussed next week in 12 hours amendments to be discussed next week in12 hours is amendments to be discussed next week in 12 hours is such a disservice to democracy, i think it is gone down as well as a cup of cold sick on both sides of the house. whatever side you were born

senior cabinet ministers stress the uk is still prepared to walk away from brexit talks without a deal. the prime minister has always said that nothing is agreed until everything is agreed and that no deal would be better than a bad deal. and i think it is essential, as we enter the next phase of the negotiations, that the european union understands that and believes it. president erdogan of turkey makes a final appeal for votes ahead of tomorrow's elections in which he's facing a strong challenge. also coming up: tackling the devastating impact of plastic pollution. sir david attenborough launches a new campaign, and says he's been "astonished" by the response to the blue planet series. on talking books in half an hour: norwegian journalist and author asne seierstad speaks to gavin esler at hay festival. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. two years after the brexit referendum, thousands of people are protesting in central london to demand what they call a "people's vote" on the outcome of the negotiations with the eu. we'll be going live to central london in a moment to hear more

but, more than a year into the negotiations, the eu says the uk still doesn't have a clear negotiating position, and it needs to see one. she headed home, excluded from today's brexit discussion. controversy has of course accompanied every stage of the brexit process, including the way it has been reported on bbc news. for many, the corporation fails to provide balanced coverage, with louise vale putting it like this... but the majority of complaints we received are about a perceived bias in the other direction. here is pat marks. those holding that latter point of view contacted the bbc in large numbers following saturday's anti—brexit march in central london. that day, there was also a significantly smaller pro—brexit march in london, which received much less airtime. and the disparity annoyed some viewers, such as christine hicks, who e—mailed. .. and brian silvester tweeted. .. apart from the fraught issue of balance, there are other challenges for bbc reporting in this area. one is the danger of boring the audience with excessive coverage of this long—running saga. steve dalligan

large parts of the uk will be dry. h—west scotland, north—west england, and later in the south—east of england. those storms in the north will tend to fade away, most of the showers in england and wales fading away, too. but a fair bit of low cloud coming into eastern scotland and eastern england overnight, and a chillier night, actually, across eastern scotland and north—east england. quite a grey start here, as well. a lot of that low cloud, misty weather, will tend to burn off. we'll see sunny spells developing more widely. very few showers on saturday, the bulk of them are going to be in scotland, and these again will be heavy and thundery. not moving at all, so if you catch one, you will know about it. but it seems to be all or nothing again, and most places will have a dry day. now, we've got very little wind to stir things up at all, or to move things around. this lower pressure towards biscay threatens to bring some thunderstorms our way. at the moment, it looks like on sunday they're more likely to be through t

but how to do it, without going back to a hard border between the uk and ireland? ireland peace deal. brexit supporters want britain to regain control of its borders. but that‘s seemingly incompatible with the european union single market, which allows the free movement of goods, services, money and people within the eu. so, big internationalfirms in the uk want to know, what sort of arrangement will replace it? the likes of airbus, bmw, siemens and nissan have all been warning of catastrophe for their businesses if trade barriers go up. charles lichfield is a europe analyst at eurasia group. it is good to see you. i suppose they have another issue which is migration. they have averted a crisis, it seems, so not much to talk about brexit. one might have expected a raft of gasps and exasperation from brussels. you write this was to be a council about the future of getting brexit on the right footing and the eurozone and it has become a crisis council about migration mainly and it suits them that brexit is not as important this time. they were also warned by the prim

let's look at the statistics. in 201712,994 ukthe bbc received figures. it co m pa res which the bbc received figures. it compares with 5025 in 2016 and 1800 in 2015. the most frequent new nationality was german and a 12 fold increase between 2015 and 2017. french was the second most popular nationality and then belgian. meanwhile in brussels, negotiations trundle on between the uk and eu before brexit happens at the end of march next year. chester zoo has released heart—warming footage of the first sun—bear ever born in the uk, weighing just 400 grams. sun bears are the world‘s smallest bears and are a highly threatened species from south—east asia. the cub‘s parents were rescued from poachers in cambodia. that is quite a way to carry your offspring! sport now. good morning. at the world cup in russia, if you lose you are out. england start against colombia on tuesday. 21 of england‘s 23 man squad took part in full training this morning at their world cup base in reppino. at their world cup base in repino. the only players missin

i think this is really fundamental moment for the uk economy. irst three months of the year, just 0.1% of positive growth in the uk. the british chambers of commerce now say that business investment has been negatively affected, possibly mostly connected to the brexit uncertainty, that household finances stretched and that real incomes, although rising, not rising very quickly. if that weak growth from the first quarter of the year continues through the rest of this year, this will be a weak year for growth. and the big debate here is not only what does that, how does that affect people's households, but how it affects the government and the government's revenues? we had that discussion about how to fund nhs increases in health budgets, well, if the economy does not perform as well as expected, that is means what is called the proceeds of growth are not really there to be spent. the bcc as well says the government should concentrate on meat and potato issues. getting broadband connection around the uk, more technologically advanced. making sure o

, but the relative damage to the uk, but the relative damage to the uk would be greater than the euwhere we do not get to an agreement, everybody loses. was it the will of the people who voted to leave that britain do so without a deal? do you really think that the people who voted to leave all that was a possible scenario? these issues were all brought out in the referendum campaign and, indeed, much of the remain campaign was premised on the fa ct remain campaign was premised on the fact there would be no deal, that there would be an instant recession because of the implications that might rise from it. to then say people did not know, campaign fear, during the referendum campaign, made absolutely clear what might happen to the united kingdom if the people had the temerity to vote for brexit. they still voted for brexit because they had a good understanding of the interests and in particular the long—term interests of the united kingdom, and we must remember, this isa kingdom, and we must remember, this is a decision for decades to come. that decision was taken two years ago today

they were welcomed into the uk with hopes of prosperity. pire windrush, which docked at tilbury in essex on the 22nd ofjune, 19118. beautiful — those were the days. one of them who made thatjourney 70 years ago was alford gardner. he's lived in leeds for most of his life. but that wasn't his intention. and he's still here at the age of 92. i did not mean long—term. the plan was just come to england, get a good job, work for about five years, go back, rearfive children and watch my vineyards grow! but it wasn't to be. but in five years, i started a family, married, i had bought my house, working hard, and settled down. empire windrush marks the beginning of british post—war immigration, and the right to remain was supposed to be legally guaranteed, but changes to uk immigration laws, and problems with paperwork, have blighted the lives of some caribbean migrants and their children. the scale of the windrush scandal first came to light in april earlier this year. if a human being wants to move from one place to another to feed their family, to

it has said that uncertainty could damage the uk's car industry. or simon jack's report contains flashing images. on a mission to air its fears over brexit, the boss of airbus in the uk issued a stark warning over the consequences of any interruption to their supply chains. we're very fearful there will be chaos at the borders, and we want our factories to be able to operate as smoothly as possible. some politicians will say, "we've heard this all before, this is scaremongering, this is a reboot of project fear." this isjust a businessperson sitting here today explaining the risks we've evaluated for our business. i'm not a politician. rather than project fear, this is dawning reality. this wing—making factory in broughton, north wales, is the biggest of airbus's 25 uk sites and local people are worried. i've lived in broughton all my life, and it would be disastrous if they went, for the community. and it's notjust airbus, it's all the suppliers that supply them, isn't it, as well? airbus is not the only major manufacturer expressing concern about

it was a beautiful day across the uk today. ofjune. temperatures were actually a little bit below average for the time of year, but the sun is very strong so it felt pleasant. the air is coming in from the north. if you look at the motion of the clouds, you can see the clouds are coming in from the north—west, moving in a south—easterly direction, so that north atlantic air over us, hence it felt a little bit cooler and fresher for some of us. with clearing skies tonight, it's going to turn quite cold in northern parts of the uk. in rural spots of scotland and northern england, i wouldn't be surprised if it's around three or 4 degrees, and even some of the major cities around dawn will be hovering around 6 degrees, for example, in newcastle, eight in plymouth, and just about nudging up to double figures in central london. it starts off fresh in the morning on friday, but the sun will be out and it's promising to be a stunning day, a beautiful end to the week on the weather front at least. a little bit more cloud across scotland,
