Vivid, colourful picture of the floral tributes, some laid by Police Officers outside the site where Pc Keith Palmer died. We have time for a very interesting story. On the face of it, ruth, this ought to be giving the other editors in fleet street palpitations when they see this on the front of the mail and they havent got it. Williams Helicopter A Split Second from lethal crash. Do we know if it is true . of course it is true, but it is rather carefully phrased. It is prince williams helicopter, but not necessarily with him in it. Thats very sharp. There is a photograph of prince william, but you are right, it doesnt say he was in there. Prince william, but you are right, it doesnt say he was in therem was also quite a long time ago, thats the other thing. Also, what kind of drone was this . Was it a little plastic throne, sort of that size, or was it something more. Was it being operated by somebody . We will have to wait until we get a ha rd we will have to wait until we get a hard copy of the paper until we find out on page four. I think it is a nonstory in that case, giving your judgment, ruth, we wont do it in an hours time, we will find Something Else to talk about revenge on, we will be back with you in an hours time at 11 30pm ruth and john. Coming up next. The president of the European Commission has insisted that the uk will have to wander its financial commitments as part of any deal, a figure that could be around £50 billion. He has been speaking to europe editor katya ahead ahead of celebrations marking europes 60th Anniversary of the treaty of rome. Unemployment is going down. Economic growth is back. But saying that, we should not be naive. I want to say that we have to tackle the problems which are ahead of us. And i think that we are best prepared to do so. But we are not in the best form and shape we could be in. Well, there are some who have compared the vision on saturday of the 27 leaders there to musicians on board the titanic. I mean, its not as dramatic as that. What words would you give to the people of europe . You have put down on a paper certain visions for the form of europe. You mentioned world war ii. Countries then unified around this idea of bringing peace and security to this continent. But now there doesnt seem to be that vision that the people can unite around. Yes, but thats not the reason not to tell the people that the very origin of the European Union, european integration, european construction, was the result of world war ii. We have to remind those we are living with that, this was the real reason for the European Union. But as i said, this is not a sufficient explanation or narrative, as we are saying today, because it is mainly about the future. My generation is an inter generation. We are children of those who experienced the second world war. And we have children and grandchildren. Yes, we have grandchildren too, who dont know anything about that. But we have to organise in the best way possible in the future for them. You obviously, as president of the European Commission, are a great believer in the European Union. But when theresa may is not there on saturday, what will be in your mind as the way to stop others following suit . Other Member States walking out the door . Will you try and use the negotiations around brexit to put others off . Even if the british pm is not there, i will have the british people in my hearts. Because britain belongs to europe in a way that britain is part of europe. So brexit or not brexit, we should not forget that the european continent has a duty when it comes to britain, because without churchill and without the resilience of the british people, we wouldnt be here at where we are now. So im everything but in a hostile mood when it comes to britain. But i dont want others to take the same avenue, because, lets suppose for one second that others would leave. Two, three, four, five that would be the end. How do you balance that in brexit negotiations . On the one hand, wanting to keep uk close, as youve said. But on the other, wanting to ensure that others are put off leaving. I mean, could those negotiations not turn nasty . When it comes to negotiations, the European Union and the commission, having been tasked with this negotiation, will negotiate in a friendly way, in a fair way, and we are not naive. So will there be a fee to pay . It will be. Sorry. Reflecting former commitments by the British Government and by the british parliament. There will be no sanctions, no punishment, nothing of that kind. But britain has to know, and i suppose that the government does know it, they have to honour the commitments, the former commitments. To the tune of £50 billion . I dont have. I was mentioning, years ago, it was 50 60 billion, it was around that. But that is not the main story. We have to calculate scientifically what the british commitments were, and then the bill has to be paid. You cannot leave like that as if you had never been a member of the European Union. Britain was a member of the European Union. Britain was taking on its shoulders the commitments. And these commitments have to be honoured. Again on saturday, although the leaders will be meeting to celebrate, theres a lot of talk about the people of europe. There are 4. 5 million europeans who are very nervous at the moment. 3 million living in the uk, European Citizens in the uk, 1. 5 british People Living elsewhere in the European Union. Does that remain, like the British Government says, for the commission, a priority to make sure that they know what is so come . It is for me a priority. Its about people. The british did take in a sovereign way the decision they have taken. But people are living there. Women, men, workers, independent people, children. We dont have the right to eject them from our system. So i am sworn in favour. I shouldnt say that, this, as president hollande wrote, a president shouldnt say this. I am strongly committed to preserve the rights of europeans living in britain and of the british People Living on the european continent. This is not about bargaining. This is about respecting human dignity. The next big challenge, if you like, in the calendar, once, you know, article 50 has been officially triggered and everything the french elections. How worried are you about them . Will you be talking to president hollande about that on saturday . It could easily happen that i would talk with Francois Hollande about this. But i have to say that although in some corners of my imagination being very much concerned about the outcome of these elections, i have to say that we shouldnt consider elections as a crisis of democracy. Its something normal. The countries going for elections, france, germany, as the dutch did a week ago, this is not a crisis. And so there is place, room, for a normal democratic debate, and so lets be confident in the wisdom of those who are going to elections. And do you think a corner has been turned . At the end of last year i was hearing voices in this building saying, this could be the end of this project, we have so many challenges, look at rising populist nationalism. But youve had the dutch elections, macron is doing very well in france, Martin Schulz in germany. Do you think europe is being pulled into Different Directions populist nationalism, and The Other Side very pro eu . I do think that we have to make a clear distinction between populist, radical populism, those being against all the others, being only reflecting on their own destiny, and those who are eurosceptic. I have huge understanding for those who have more questions than answers when it comes to the European Union, and we should respect that and we should argue with them. I dont like the extreme right parties, thats something i dont like. But talk, discussion, debating with those who are eurosceptic because they have, as i said, more questions than answers, is something we should proactively engage with. Do you think there was enough from your side, from the European Union, engagement with the eurosceptics in the United Kingdom before the referendum . I mean, you are a president of the commission who does talk about feelings. How will you feel on wednesday when that letter of notification, that formal letter of notification, arrives here in brussels . I will be sad, as i was sad when the vote, the referendum took place in britain. For me it is a tragedy. It is such a long, intense, interrelated history between the continent and britain, that i dont have an explanation for that, although i have particular puzzled explanations. But does it feel like a failure, president juncker . It is a failure and a tragedy. What would be your words on the eus 60th Anniversary for the 52 of the uk who voted to leave, and the 48 who voted to stay and are now very worried about their future . I love both of them. Because britain is britain. And the fact that 48 of the british people were voting yes and the fact that 52 of the british were voting no should not lead us to the conclusion that britain is definitely separated in two parts. President junker, thank you very, very much for your time. Thank you. Hello there. Sunny skies being followed by clear skies.
