today we heard from a minister in the gibraltar government, the ministerfor minister in the gibraltar government, the minister for housing and equality, she has come here to speak and she had a very uncompromising message when it comes to the current debate over the future of gibraltar in the context of these brexit negotiations. future of gibraltar in the context of these brexit negotiationsm future of gibraltar in the context of these brexit negotiations. it is critical that the united kingdom remains firmly in the defence of our right to self—determination, and that spain is given no hope, absolutely no hope in its campaign to take our sovereignty from us. applause so the issue of gibraltar to the fore again this weekend, spain saying it wants more of a say over gibraltar in the talks between britain and the eu when it comes to the future relationship, after the text it's the eu in march. as bad as the dup are concerned, they say the reason they propped up the government was to deliver brexit, they were passionate brexiteers, they were passionate brexiteers, they campaigned for t

the gibraltar prime minister, his team say that he is back in gibraltar, and has realised he has to be there to focus and helped to try to break the impasse with spain, and those discussions are going ahead if theresa may arriving here in a few hours to meet the eu top team of donald tusk and jean—claude juncker, ahead of tomorrow's suppose it summit. why is the expectation that spain could have derailed this, given that we are told the withdrawal agreement can go through withdrawal agreement can go through with a weighted majority of countries voting, it doesn't have to have everyone voting for it? pedro sanchez has been effective with his language. they have convened a special summit. so far for several months there has been community between countries, . .. the months there has been community between countries,... the european eu officials are saying you cannot have one member state not arriving for the special summit. they would have to call it off, but it is poetical brinkmanship, there are elections in andalusia, the region which borders gibraltar, 10,000 people that work acros

andalucia borders gibraltar where 10,000 spanish workers work. pedro sanchez has been accused of being too soft. is it domestic politics that he is suddenly very vocal? 18 words and domestic politics, a lot to consider. 0ne country alone cannot vetoed this deal from being signed but clearly the eu 27 would love to have unanimity on this. if they cannot get spain on board, if spain is not happy, is there any chance they would stop the signing ceremony on sunday or will they place on? pedro sanchez has been clear. while he is saying in his tweet last night he is saying in his tweet last night he has spoken to theresa may and he is not happy, he said it in english not spanish to make sure it hit the right audiences, legally they cannot, it is a qualified majority, so if 20 of the 27 agree then it will go through. you could argue they have. european diplomats say they have. european diplomats say they have. european diplomats say they have been so close, you could not get a feather between them in terms of trying to divide the european union in terms

of gibraltar, has not change. so that's the prime minister talking about the gibraltar issue. that's pretty important, isn't it? the eu summit on sunday has to sign this off, and the spanish saying they could stop the whole thing, because they object to what has been negotiated on gibraltar. yes, in the last hour or so the spanish government spokesman has said that the government is determined that they must be absolutely guaranteed that any agreement between the eu and britain requires the prior approval of spain relating to gibraltar. that has been set out before the european council outlines. this may go to the last minute, if you like. but the spanish prime minister has threatened to veto brexit, those were his words. you can't really do that, because the approval of the withdrawal agreement, technically, needs not unanimous approval, but it needs a qualified majority, which means 20 countries representing 65% of the eu population. on the other hand, i think it's almost unthinkable, an issue as big as this, th

i'm proud that gibraltar is british and i will always stand by gibraltar. this process has lasted for 18 months. the prime minister has had to shuttle backwards and forwards. it chewed up two brexit secretaries. it started with a blank sheet of paper and ends with a brexit deal more than 600 pages long. it has brought us a withdrawal agreement that fixes the divorce terms by guaranteeing the rights of eu nationals in the uk and brits in europe. settling the uk's financial obligations, estimated at £39 billion. with an insurance policy to avoid checks on the irish border. there's also a road map to the future relationship. 0ne based on free trade, not necessarily the frictionless trade promised by the prime minister. with continued cooperation on security and unlimited migration from the eu, free movement will come to an end. while theresa may has breakfast here tomorrow, her fellow leaders will rubber—stamp their side of the bargain. then she'll be shown into the room. history made before sunday lunch. adam fleming, bbc news, brussels. the leader of the

translation: i havejust told the king that spain has reached agreement on gibraltar. the first thing i want to say is that, consequently, the european council will take place tomorrow. and the second is that europe and the uk have accepted the conditions set down by spain. because of this, spain will lift its veto and will vote tomorrow in favour of brexit. we understand theresa may has just arrived and is going to meet jean—claude juncker for 90 minutes. she will then go to another meeting with the european council president donald tusk who has written a letter today to the 27 leaders recommending that they approve the withdrawal agreement and the political declaration that he is putting in front of them. this is his tweet. he also said in the letter that no one side had defeated the other. with me is our brussels reporter, adam fleming. has pedro sanchez got anything more than he had? i don't think so, this was reassuring the spanish that their argument which is that the withdrawal agreement as it is now that the future relationship between the uk and the eu after

we've worked very closely with gibraltar. our position here in the uk, as the government on the sovereignty of gibraltar, has not changed. thank you very much for that question. let's bring in michael. hello, michael. hello. you live to the prime minister, what is your question? good afternoon. we all know that you voted to remain in the eu, have you now accepted the referendum result to leave, without any political waffle or convoluted answer, just between the two of us, what, in your honest opinion, is better for the uk, your deal, what, in your honest opinion, is betterforthe uk, your deal, orthe dealer we would've had we'd stayed in the eu? i honestly believe that i'm getting what is a good dealfor the uk. i recognise that they were aspects of being in the european union that caused people real concern, free movement was one of those. when i came out, and i gave a speech at the beginning of the referendum campaign, wherei beginning of the referendum campaign, where i explained why i was voting remain, and actually, i wasn

mentioned gibraltar. i quoted the chief minister, who made very clear as i did that this government stood by gibraltar and we resisted changes to the withdrawal agreement which the spanish government wished to make. we are clear that gibraltar and its sovereignty will not change. and will notanged change but we are proud that gibraltar is british. about dealinglked with issues of our economy and those parts of the country where we do need to enhance and improve our economy. i have to say to him, the one thing that is clear and will never deliver for our economy is his policy on borrowing, taxing, and spending to balance the economy. smith --n duncan >> mr. speaker, can i recognize my right honorable gentleman and return her to the point about the backstop. does she recognize the genuine and real concern held on all sides of the house about what would happen if the u.k. was to be forced into the backstop? listen careful to what my right honorable friend said, she said the u.k. doesn't want it, the eu doesn

is very important but is gibraltar the only issue in today's talks between me and you commission chief. it's the biggest chunk of what remains there are other contentious issues for example fisheries and we're now hearing talk of an additional document that might be side tomorrow on sunday during the e.u. bragg's it's something we already have to the first one being the withdrawal agreement so that the force agreement between the u.k. and the european union the second one being the political agreement that will outline the future relationship between the u.k. the e.u. and now maybe a third document to give interpretations some context to those contentious issues like the balls are like fisheries because they have to wait and see if this is enough for spain it can be a lot of eyes will also be on your prime minister to be some man who is himself a second out of resistance on old sides at home over this deal what's the view in brussels about how to lie been a partner she is right now. well they're all following it very closely the drama that's unfolding in the united kingdom but she's al

the real sticking point is gibraltar. as we havejust book? the real sticking point is gibraltar. as we have just been hearing, the spanish government is kicking up a realfuss hearing, the spanish government is kicking up a real fuss and hearing, the spanish government is kicking up a realfuss and not backing down. somebody said to me last night, an eu officialfrom another country, that this is a relatively easy to solve problem because it is a political problem. you don't need to write some new bits into their withdrawal agreement oi’ bits into their withdrawal agreement or get lawyers to work on it, you canjust or get lawyers to work on it, you can just say we don't want this to bea can just say we don't want this to be a problem but the spanish government is the one who has got to buy into that. and with local elections in andalusia, which suddenly everyone in brussels has become obsessed about, that is a difficult thing for pedro sanchez, the spanish prime minister, to do domestically, so that is a big political problem that has got to be solved. my theory is that by tomorro

remind us what our spain's concerns around gibraltar. basically spain wants to negotiate separately with the uk overany wants to negotiate separately with the uk over any future deal involving gibraltar. the specific issue is that the spanish negotiators say they were lying cited by the withdrawal agreement, the force agreement between the eu and uk, because they saw a copy last wednesday they were happy with then it went to london and two extra articles tagged up towards the end of the 585 page document, and one of them, article 184, there is no mention of gibraltar being negotiated with the uk and the spanish, but it is an anodyne statement about how things should be wrapped up and the spanish say it should be expanded. the spanish prime minister is threatening to veto, even though it legally can't, at the summit in two days. right now, it is a moment of truth, according to a spanish diplomat. they have been told there will not be any changes to the legal agreement because the british and germans, particularly angela merkel, say you ca

. —— about gibraltar. that is the agreement and the declaration that sketches out the future relationship. yvonne says that is a done deal which means the summit can go ahead but the political issue of the status of gibraltar after brexit is still unresolved —— everyone says. it is not an issue with either of those two documents, it will be solved at a political level. i've been sent some remarks made by the state secretary for the eu from the spanish government working on european affairs he was at that meeting, who apparently said there has been a small tweak to the political declaration about gibraltar, referring to the status of gibraltar, and the uk promised the spanish government there will be a written guarantee before sunday to speu a written guarantee before sunday to spell out the policy of how much of the future relationship will apply to gibraltar and how automatic that will be and how much say the spanish government will have over that so thatis government will have over that so that is on

it as about gibraltar, they still refer to itasa about gibraltar, they still refer to it as a colony, in britain it is called a british 0verseas territory. it isa called a british 0verseas territory. it is a thorny issue, with issues around smuggling, environmental protection, cooperation with law enforcement and border control, and spain wants to ensure that those negotiations will be completely separate from the uk and eu negotiations in the future. how far do you think they would push it, would they go so far as to veto a final agreement if they don't get their way on it? be spanish prime minister sanchez was forceful in his comments today. he said as of today, if there are no changes with respect to gibraltar, spain will vote no on the withdrawal brexit agreement. but diplomatic sources were telling us today that this is an issue that could be solved with a simple annex in the document. some eu countries are not willing to reopen negotiations on this point because it could pave the way for other countries coming up with new demands. but this gibraltar issue was always going to be

also coming up could a small british enclave of gibraltar be the undoing of the u.k.'s brics a deal spain says it will reject the draft agreement unless it gets clarification on the peninsula future status but with e.u. leaders set to endorse the deal on sunday time is running out. plus a city by any other name we look at why india's national government is renaming at least twenty five towns and villages stoking tensions between hindus and muslims ahead of a general election. and of france's looted african art is heading back home a report commissioned by president back home is likely to recommend a change in the law to allow the works to be returned to their nations of origin. i'm sumi so much god it's good to have you with us china has asked pakistan to tight the security for its citizens in the country after an attack on the chinese consulate in karachi police say all three suicide bombers two policeman and a father and son visiting the consulate were killed but no staff inside the building were hurt. the moment of the attack the blast and inserting gunshots can be

of gibraltar, has not changed. thank you very much for that question. let's bring in michael. hello, michael. hello. you're live to the prime minister, what is your question? good afternoon. we all know that you voted to remain in the eu, and you have now accepted the referendum result to leave, without any political waffle or convoluted answer, just between the two of us, what, in your honest opinion, is better for the uk, your deal, or the deal we would've had we'd stayed in the eu? i honestly believe that i'm getting what is a good dealfor the uk. i recognise that they were aspects of being in the european union that caused people real concern, free movement was one of those. when i came out, and i gave a speech at the beginning of the referendum campaign, where i explained why i was voting remain, and actually, i wasn't one of those who said, if we leave the european union it will be really bad for the uk, i said, the sky won't fall in, it will be a different world for us outside the eu. it will be a good one.

today is gibraltar the main issue gibraltar is probably the biggest chunk of that but it's not the only issue we also know that there were a couple of other more or less contentious issues for example unfair competition also on fisheries and we do know now from a couple of sources that a separate document will be produced so a third document we already have the withdrawal agreement we have the political agreement on the future relationship between the u.k. and the e.u. and apparently now a third document that will address these contentious issues as far as we know as of yet gibraltar is not in there because they haven't been and they dream and yet maybe that will be solved until tomorrow all right back it was in london let me come to you now how sensitive an issue is gibraltar for the u k. well it's actually interesting it hasn't been debated that much in the u.k. i think this if assumption was that it could be something that could be sold off. very very small chunk of the of the u.k. territory but reason may has made clear that she wants to reach an agreement for the whole u.k. family

and the rest of the european union on gibraltar clearing the way for a summit on sunday to approve a bedsit framework with british prime minister to resign may now gibraltar had become the latest sticking point in may's final push on how brags that agreement with the e.u. spanish prime minister pedro sanchez had threatened to boycott the brussels summit but sanchez now says he will support the deal. i'm joined now from brussels by my colleague band. the band what has the spanish prime minister been saying. he joined a little bit of history magic moment he said he informed the king of spain that now the deal can go on and that all the issues around gibraltar solved he said spain believed his veto and now vote for breaks it and this is something that actually everybody has expected here does this because nobody could think about that only this one minor issue would block the whole view of the britain so this is not resolved this is macon talk to commission president junco now and some of the go ahead as scheduled tomorrow and the invitations have been issued now by donald tusk the e.u.

at a crucial summit in brussels on sunday a last minute disagreement over the disputed territory of gibraltar had threatened to derail the whole process but spain has now agreed to back in exchange for a say in the future of gibraltar british prime minister theresa may then faces a tough challenge getting the brics a deal through her own parliament. hoffman has this report from brussels. ah what would we all do without drugs it's the story of a lifetime keeping thousands of politicians public officials and journalists busy most of all of course to resubmit yes and she still is the prime minister of the u.k. at least at the time of this recording. but i believe with every fiber of my being that the cools i have set out is the right one for our country and all people you have to give it to her she's nothing if not persistent. it used to be different may was ridiculed disregarded declared for politically dead but that all changed with the brilliant move she made . to words. dancing queen. so this clearly shows that theresa may is beyond caring what people think of are ok that's not the only reas
