German chancellor Angela Merkel has described theresa mays offer to give european Citizens Rights after Brexit Living in the uk is a good start. At a summit last night, the Prime Minister said nobody in the uk lawfully would be forced to leave on the day of brexit, nor did she want to split up families. In return the eu would have to operate in parallel dealfor eu nationals. Offer a Camp Parable Deal offer a comparable deal. A year to the day since the uk voted to leave the eu, european leaders are digesting the offer made to them by theresa may over dinner at this summit. She said she wanted no families to split because of brexit. Eu citizens with five years residents would have settled status, meaning lifetime access to health, education and benefits. And there will be a grace period for new arrivals to build up enough time to qualify. The eus Prime Ministers and president s made their own proposal on this huge issue earlier this year. This is the first time they have heard the british view, and they are waiting for the small print to be published in parliament on monday. Translation theresa may made it clear today that eu citizens who have been in Great Britain for five years can keep their full rights. Thats a good start, but of course, there are many, many other questions about brexit about finances, about the relationship with ireland which means we still have a lot to do until october. But mrs may could be walking into a big row. The eu wants a role for european judges she doesnt. They want more rights for families she doesnt seem so sure. And thats before a potential argument that could be even bigger how much money does the uk owe the eu . Adam fleming, bbc news, brussels. We can speak to our correspondent in brussels, david eades. Whats the reaction so far to theresa mays proposal . I think its fair to say that so far its muted. Interesting that so far its muted. Interesting that last night there was no opportunity for discussion at all. The only comments we got on what mrs may had to say it were a brief one from german chancellor Angela Merkel saying it was a good start but there was an awful lot of work to be done, and a similarly brief one from the austrian chancellor. He has spoken again this morning to spell out, a jab in the ribs for britain, saying Brexit Will Cost Britain growth and harm the standard of living. But he did point out it was a good first start, the offer theresa may has put on the table. Other than that, not a huge amount of response, and i dont think thats accidental. Its worth bearing in mind that while brexit is obviously the big issue for all of us obviously the big issue for all of us in the uk, and all Those Living In The Uk and british living abroad, there is a message here, and the message coming from the likes of Angela Merkel and new french president emmanuel macron, is that brexit an issue we have to deal with, but we have our own fish to fry, our own problems and opportunities, and this should be moment of optimism and not pessimism on how people see the eu. Brexit is here but its not front and centre in the minds of most of the other 27 eu leaders. David eades in brussels. We will be speaking about this throughout the programme. Annita mcveigh is in the bbc newsroom with a summary of the rest of the days news. The government says samples of cladding from 11 high rise buildings in england have been found to be combustible. Safety checks have been carried out because of the Grenfell Tower fire. The checks across eight Council Areas including planners, manchester and camden in north london where cladding is being removed from five tower blocks. It took a tragedy to change fire safety in britain. Its so frustrating that we have been asking for the Building Regulations to be reviewed every year, to nothing at all has year, and nothing at all has happened until now. Already, in another london borough, they are stripping off cladding from five tower blocks. The cladding here is similar to that used on Grenfell Tower. Camden Council Claims it was misled, and was told the cladding used on these buildings was a safer type. The cladding will be a key part of the investigation into the fire at Grenfell Tower. Like many other buildings, its outer skin was an aluminium composite material. The best cladding has a mineral core, which doesnt burn. But the core at grenfell was polyethylene, which might have been a factor that caused the fire to spread. The government says its now testing 600 buildings, but there are reviews under way on privately owned buildings, too. Premier inn has told the bbc that three of its hotels did not appear to comply with Government Guidelines for Tall Buildings. The company said it had received independent Expert Advice that the hotels could stay open given other fire safety measures. But many other buildings owned by others elsewhere could be in a similar position. The Prime Minister, booed again, on a visit to north kensington. The deadly fire at Grenfell Tower will change how buildings are built. The political legacy is still unravelling. Tom burridge, bbc news.

Lets get some sport now withjohn and theres been more success for englands young footballers its becoming a bit of a habit, isnt it . I think the senior side will certainly be looking at the relative success the younger teams have been having because its been a great few months for english football. The u17s side reached the final of the european championships. Then the u20 european championships. Then the u20s won the under 20 world cup in two weeks ago. And now the u21s have reached the semifinals of the european championships following a 30 european championships following a 3 0 victory over poland last night. They havent reached the semifinal since 2009. Relative success across the board. Demarai gray got the england opener after six minutes last night. Norwichs jacob murphy. The second. Lewis baker got a third from the penalty spot. You have to say, definite signs of progress across the board in english football. As english Football Fans we get excited and get ahead of ourselves. We ask if its a new iraq for in this football, but it maybe its just the journalists. Its a lwa ys its just the journalists. Its always easy to get carried away when we see success in a national teams, but whats significant here is the weights across the board across the age groups. Is the way its across the board. Lets look at some of the reaction following the 3 0 victory. Chelsea player Nathaniel Chalobah who played last night, did. Tammy abraham, also of chelsea, said to be signing for Swansea On Loan was on the substitutes bench last night but has been significant in the performances so far. Some debate about who would take the penalty for the third goal last night good to see Young Players taking responsibility. And david james, the former england goalkeeper offered his congratulations. We will wait to see who they face. There are still big teams left in, spain and germany among the favourites. If we look at the senior side, what impact will it have . Will it affect Gareth Southgates plans . Significant to hear what Gareth Southgate had to saint following the success of the u20s when they won the world cup. He said its down to the world cup. He said its down to the top sides in the Premier League to give Young Players opportunities. He will point to the success of Saint Georges park, as will be fa, the National Centre of footballing excellence where all the Young Players go through. Signs that the development of Young Players is working at the fantastic site in burton upon trent. Whats key is the often point to some of the failings that senior players have had, certainly in the latter stages of tournaments. What is key here is that big tournament experience for younger players at each age group, playing in big games at the latter stages of tournaments will serve them well when they potentially make them well when they potentially make the move up to the senior team. Big tournament experience counts and at the moment these Young Players certainly have it. We will catch up withjohn again in around half an hour. So, exactly a year to the day since britain voted to leave the European Union, theresa may has given more details on the rights of eu citizens living in the uk after brexit. Any eu citizen whos been here for five years or more will be allowed to stay. Theyll have a new Immigration Status. That will give them access to education, healthcare and other benefits. Mrs may told fellow leaders that the offer would apply only if the eu offered a Reciprocal Dealfor british expats. Its thought around Three Million eu citizens living in britain would be affected. Well, theres yet more talking this morning but initially, the plans have been given a cautious welcome by eu leaders, with the german chancellor mrs merkel describing them as a good start. A short time ago, theresa may said that this was a fair and serious offer that would offer comfort to eu citizens living in the uk. Last night, i was pleased to be able to set out what is a very fair and serious offer for eu citizens living in the United Kingdom, and the government will set out more detailed proposals on monday. I want to reassure all those eu citizens who are in the uk, who have made their lives and homes in the uk, that no one will have to leave. We wont be seeing families split apart. This is a fair and serious offer. I want to give those eu citizens in the uk certainty about the future of their lives, but i also want to see that certainty given to uk citizens living in the European Union. Of course, there will be details of this arrangement, which will be part of the negotiating process, but we have made what i believe is a very serious and fair offer that will give reassurance and confidence to eu citizens living in the United Kingdom about their future. Anne laure donskoy is the Founding Member of the3million the Grassroots Organisation set up to lobby the government to protect the rights of eu citizens living in the uk. She told me of her disappointment at theresa mays statement. We feel its a really disappointing statement. Its neitherfair, it cant be a serious offer. We feel it falls short in so many different ways. It doesnt give any indication of ourfull ways. It doesnt give any indication of our full indivisible rights ways. It doesnt give any indication of Ourfull Indivisible Rights being protected. It also doesnt talk about the jurisdiction of the European Court of justice about the jurisdiction of the European Court ofjustice that would act as an arbiter in terms of our rights during the withdrawal of the article 50 agreement. What theresa may is saying is if you have been here five years or more, you would be able to stay and have full benefits as an eu citizen in this country. It doesnt say that at all. What it says and what it mentions is if you have been here lawfully, which leaves potentially a lot of people out, because a lot of people currently do not meet permanent resident status. Not only because they havent been here for five yea rs, they havent been here for five years, but because they dont mean certain criteria that is in contradiction with eu legislation. Like who, for example . People who might not know about it because it wasnt advertised. That would include a lot of students. Stay at home mothers and fathers, for instance. People who are deemed self sufficient. A number of retired people. People in self employment, some categories. Theresa may also saying that if you havent been here for those five years, you can build up for those five years, you can build up those rights and be here for a shorter period of time, but you can still build up the rights to be able to stay. So people have the opportunity to ensure they can stay, evenif opportunity to ensure they can stay, even if they arrive now. We dont know what the new rules will be. As usual, the devil will be in the detail. At the moment, the statement is quite vague and we need to see what the detail will be in order to make a properjudgment. When you have spoken to people, your organisation, representing people here in britain, what are the concerns they have . What is it they wa nt to concerns they have . What is it they want to hear to put their minds at rest . They want certainty. This does not offer certainty. The Statement Talks about certainty, but then, in the next point or so, it talks about aiming to be able to offer those rights. So when you are aiming, you cannot offer certainty. You have got a meeting, havent you, with civil servants, and with the brexit secretary david davis next week, what are you going to be saying and what are you going to be saying and what do
