British demands for a new deal on eu membership have dominated a leader summit in brussels. Prime minister David Cameron canceled plans for a cap meeting in london. As a second day of talks ran late. Cameron is seeking confessions from his 27 counterparts that he can take home to voters. They are due to decide on britain has future in the eu. Dw found this report. Reporter its exactly what he has been asking for and what he needs, David Cameron is fighting an uphill battle and hes very keen to show that two british voters. The key to overcoming last pockets of resistance to a deal now seem to be bilateral meetings. The deal is possible, but timing it will depends what kind of deepness of drama some countries would like to perform. Reporter deepness of trauma . Darmrama . Who are the culprits here . Everybody. Reporter the greek Prime Minister has reportedly brought the refugee crisis back on the agenda. A government source said he will refuse to adopt an accord keeping britain in the bloc. Belgium is pressing for a clause to ensure a deal with britain would automatically cease to exist in case of a vote to leave to make sure there was no possibility for a second renegotiation. Its very clear, there will be no second chance. Its now or never and we have to get this message across with the full capacity of europe. Reporter the marathon talks continue and plans for an english breakfast, brunch, or lunch have long been transformed into plans for a dinner to hammer out a final deal. Sarah a brussels correspondent is standing by with the latest, max hoffman joins us now. Do we have any indications on where things stand at this hour . Are they at least close to coming to some sort of consensus . Max we have news concerning the food. Angela merkel decided to skip the dinner. She went to grab some fries just next to the building here, the European Council building. Everybody took a break for about two hours to clear their head and approach what might be final stretch of negotiations. All the delegations were advised to get Hotel Reservations here in case it drags on through the night and maybe even the morning, but the most diplomats ive been talking to think that within the next hours there will be a deal. Of course, they could not give me any guarantees. Sarah as if anybody would be sleeping in those hotels. What are the sticking points . What are the things they cant seem to agree on . Max it appears one of the last remaining sticking points, and by far the most contentious sticking point, is what weve been talking about in the last days. Welfare spending or welfare cuts for eu migrants who are in the u. K. , that is something that doesnt go down well, especially with countries like the Czech Republic or poland who have workers in the u. K. Those people send money back home. They get children allowance for children who live back home. All of this will probably be scrapped, at least for a limited amount of time. That is what cameron wants to sell back home. It seems the devil still is in the details for how long it legislate can legislation like that can be valid. The nittygritty details are apparently what is holding up the whole process. Sarah we will check back with you in about a hour to see if theres any progress report. Thank you in the meantime. Whether the u. K. Stays in the eu is ultimately up to the british people. As Prime Minister David Cameron tries to hamill out a deal, proeu activists have been on the streets back at home. Many britons are questioning the value of the eu and the referendum looks to be tied. No date for the vote has been set, but opinion polls show the british are almost evenly split. Cameron says the eu reforms he wants will help make the case for britain staying in the eu. Earlier we spoke to our london correspondent. We asked her how damaging could it be for David Cameron if he returns home emptyhanded. There for sure headline news. Those people who follow politics will want to know what will be the outcome of these negotiations. A lot of people, if they are not really into politics, might say im not so sure, they feel they have been fed a propaganda from each side. In the end it is a decision that people will make from the heart. You have the undecided vote. People will think, what are the issues at stake . People are of course concerned about migration, is this something the leaders have been discussing at the moment. Do we want to be part of europe . What about our security . It will be a question we will have to answer for generations to come because this will be the one referendum and there wont be a second one. Sarah that was our correspondents in london. We turn to some other news now. A ceasefire was supposed to take effect in syria today. Russia has demanded a meeting of the Un Security Council to discuss the intensifying conflict. Turkish forces have stepped up their shelling of border areas held by u. S. Backed kurdish militia. Ankara has blamed syrianbased kurds for a suicide bombing that killed 28 people in the turkish capital. Elsewhere, Syrian Government officials continue to recover ground. Amid the violence, u. S. Convoys continue to deliver food and medicine to nearly 100,000 people trapped in the siege cities. Sieged cities. There was a lot of optimism when the we had the agreement for a ceasefire at the Munich Security Conference a week ago. Now it doesnt look like its going to come to fruition. Why not . I think if you talk to syrian activists from the beginning, you would learn the prospects for peace are not really high. The russian shelling continuing. [inaudible] sarah who has interests in having a ceasefire in the country . Obviously everybody who is living there would have an interest. In the first case, he thinks hes winning. I think logically he is not interested. Sarah there is a lot of infighting in the western camp. These two countries are supposed to be working together to achieve a Common Objective in syria why cant they find Common Ground . Because that objective might be joined, it is fighting isis, but everyone has their own interests and is putting them first. For turkey, it is kurds approaching closure of the border. For russia there is no interest in fighting isis. Therefore, the coalition based on this is not really going to happen. Sarah thank you very much for that analysis. A u. S. Airstrike inside libya has destroyed a suspected Training Camp belonging to the socalled islamic state. The camp was near the tunisian border. Reports say dozens were killed, but it was one man in particular, a you that u. S. Forces wanted dead. Reporter the camp believed to be training jihadists destroyed by american warplanes. 40 people dead, among them likely to be a key extremist, the pentagon said. We took action after the Training Camp after determining that he was planning attacks on western interests. Reporter the u. S. Hopes this will have an Immediate Impact on isils activities in libya. It Tunisian National is considered the key mind behind the moving of tunisian fighters to libya. Hes also expected to expected to have links to attacks. 38 people were killed in june when a gunman opened fire on a beach resort near that tunisian city. Back in march, 21 tourists and a policeman were killed in an attack on a museum in tunis. Observers do not think the u. S. Would sustain an air campaign in libya, but the president barack obama has repeatedly said that his country would take every opportunity to go after the socalled islamic state. Sarah early returns in ugandas president ial elections showed a long time president with a solid lead, but the vote has been marred by uncertainty and confusion, with polling stations forced to stay open for an unscheduled second day. For the second time in as many days, and Opposition Leader and president ial candidate was arrested and briefly detained. Voting was extended after long delays on thursday. Sporadic clashes between opposition supporters and police reported. Crush time in the race for the white house. President ial candidates are making their final pitches to voters in nevada and south carolina. So far in this case, no clear front runner has emerged on the democratic side. The partys nomination is still up for grabs. For the republicans, there is one man with a big lead in the polls. This week he has been in hot water, but the big man with the big man in white. Reporter the pope and donald trump are on the same page here, but definitely on opposing sides of this political debate. His holiness has criticized the idea of a u. S. Mexico border wall. Person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not christian. Reporter trump reacted as only truck can, calling the comment disgraceful, then defending himself. Donald trump is a very nice person. And im a very good christian. The pope said something to the affect that may be donald trump isnt christian. Hes questioning my faith. I was surprised to see it. Reporter the papal spokesperson said the comment was not a personal attack on trump, but it has opened up fears debate. The situation must be handled by the Civil Society as well as politicians. It is true that immigrants are an important part of the economy of various countries. I agree with the pope. I disagree with donald trump that we need a wall between mexico and the u. S. People come here to make a better life for themselves and their kids. If you saw the people coming from mexico, you might think differently. Its a difficult question. There is some good and not so good from all the people coming. But i can understand where hes coming from. But it may not be the correct solution. Reporter later something unexpected, he softened his rhetoric, calling the pope a wonderful guy. Perhaps donald trump has finally met his match. Sarah the literary world has lost one of its bestloved authors. Harper lee has passed away at the age of 89. The Pulitzer Prize winning writer gained worldwide fame for her classic to kill a mockingbird. Set in americas segregated south, it takes on the themes of race and class as seen through the eyes of two children. She waited more than half a century to publish a followup entitled go set a watchman.

Until june, David Cameron has to convince European Partners and his own country that staying in is worth it. Reporter british newspapers were quick to ridicule the Prime Minister.
