adam fleming is in luxembourg for us. an emotional and angry press conference from the luxembourg prime minister — real frustration apparent? yeah, and the thing about the prime minister of luxembourg is that he is well known as being a mild—mannered, smile the person, often referred to as the most easy—going of eu leaders, and you saw he was absolutely not easy going and that press c0 nfe re nce absolutely not easy going and that press conference there, not helped of course by the fact that boris johnson wasn't standing next to him at the podium, and that has turned into a bit of a debacle. the luxembourg and britain delegations are trying to avoid a diplomatic incident and a bit of tit—for—tat, but they had a real dilemma behind the scenes. as soon as we turned up your to this normally sleepy prime minister's office, it was clear because of the huge group of brexit protesters who had microphones, megaphones, banners, music and chanting, it meant that that planned outdoor press conference that was supposed to h

lunch is on luxembourg. this is the first time the prime minister and the president had met face—to—face. do you like snails? over snails and salmon, the pair discussed the prospects of a revised brexit deal with an alternative to the so—called irish backstop. a deal which borisjohnson thinks is getting closer. well, we are cautious, cautious. writing in the daily telegraph, the prime minister said, if we can make enough progress in the next few days, i intend to go to that crucial eu summit on october i7 and finalise an agreement that will protect the interests of business and citizens on both sides of the channel, and on both sides of the border in ireland. we have been very clear on the approach and the prime minister will reaffirm those with jean—claude juncker and michel barnier today, which is we want to remove the anti—democratic backstop. we set forward a range of technical proposals as to how we would do that. but that optimism is not shared by people sitting on the other side of the table

our political editor, laura kuenssberg is in luxembourg tonight. there has always been an element of choreography and theatre around this whole now three year long brexit process , whole now three year long brexit process, but if borisjohnson came to luxembourg today imagining there would be some kind of happy ending... well, he was wrong, very wrong. he believes he wants a deal but he can't get a deal if the eu is unwilling to budge and today there weren't much signs of movement. a dramatic day but a day with a conclusion that doesn't hold much promise. air miles can't be exchanged for a deal. today is not going to be a breakthrough day. time for borisjohnson to see some of those he needs onside. i mean, it's september already and moved into number10 injuly and it's only now that you're going to see jean—claude juncker. you could have done this weeks and weeks ago. we have had many conversations with our friends and partners, and they've moved a long way. but a jet and a convoy racing through luxembourg's streets doesn't mean we are speeding tow

laura kuenssberg, bbc news, luxembourg. the key question tonight has to be whether that outburst from luxembourg's prime minister is indicative of the eu just having enough and wanting to walk away from any more talks with the uk and boris johnson's government. actually it's quite the opposite. we have the prime minister today saying he wants to again step up the pace of talks with the eu and the response from the european commission was, our door is open due 20 a7. this is not out of love for boris johnson's government, it is because a long time ago the eu decided that as long as there was a whiff of a hope of a brexit deal it served their purpose to remain engaged, whether or not they felt frustrated. and they do feel frustrated, because although it is headline making, these comments today are not new in brexit circles. often in chats with eu politicians, they whose frustration, that millions are being spent preparing for a possible no—deal brexit. the fa ct for a possible no—deal brexit. the fact that boris johnson c

when it comes to brexit, luxembourg really does matter. the prime minister here has a veto over any new brexit extension and a veto over future eu trade deal so did he set out to humiliate borisjohnson this week? he told me today absolutely not. i am sad about this perception from people to think that i want to humiliate. i have too much respect for the humiliate. i have too much respect forthe uk, humiliate. i have too much respect for the uk, too much respect for the uk citizens and for borisjohnson to think that i prepared this as a trick just to think that i prepared this as a trickjust to have think that i prepared this as a trick just to have five think that i prepared this as a trickjust to have five minutes of popularity. really? there has been quite some outrage in the uk after prime minister bettel following a meeting on monday here in luxembourg with borisjohnson, meeting on monday here in luxembourg with boris johnson, decided meeting on monday here in luxembourg with borisjohnson, decided to hold a press conference. mrjohnson,

what the prime minister of luxembourg was unusual. the eu say we still don't have detail on what a new brexit deal would look like and we have the central connumdrum, how does the united kingdom leave the single market without some sort of border checks in ireland? if anyone can crack that, a deal may be possible. if they can't it may prove elusive. inafew if they can't it may prove elusive. in a few minutes we will turn from brexit, we are going to talk about online trolls and a new advice led by celebrities on how we should deal with them. they say in essence, ignore them. two former paratroopers have won their case for racial harassment against the british army. hani gue and his colleague nkululeko zulu said they'd been harassed for years. the tribunaljudge said that grafitti displayed in the barracks was ‘unquestionably related to race'. our defence correspondent jonathan beale has more. the tribunal found they were targeted with racist graffiti before they left the army and the tribunal said more should have been done by the ar

laura kuenssberg, bbc news, luxembourg. president trump has said it looks as though iran was behind the attacks on two major oil facilities in saudi arabia. he said washington was seeking more proof, and he stressed that he hoped to "avoid" war. iran has denied involvement in saturday's drone attacks, which were claimed by iranian—backed houthi rebels in yemen. the bbc‘s david willis is in washington. the president was asked at the white house today, was whether he agreed with his secretary of state's assessment, saying this was an attack launched by iran. the president as you mentioned there, said it is looking that way. as soon as we have definitive evidence, we will let you know. but it is pretty clear to me from what he was saying today that the president is willing to put the onus on the saudis, onus to come up with intelligence supporting the view that it was an attack launched by iran, to come up with an international coalition and to determine what sort of response there should be now. he said he would be talkin
