LONDON, February 1. / Correspondent. Maxim Ryzhkov TASS /. In London, on Sunday held a working dinner, Prime Minister David Cameron with the chairman of the European Council, Donald Tusk. The British press called the talks “decisive” in the dialogue between London and Brussels on the eve of the February EU summit, which deal could be struck on the reform of the relationship of the United Kingdom and the EU.

Preparing for

It was obvious that the British prime minister determined to ensure that an agreement on the most favorable for London conditions, satisfaction of all four nominated by the prime minister demands a recognition of the EU multi-currency union, enhance competitiveness within the community, expanding the powers of national parliaments in the legislative activity EU and tighter immigration legislation to block the access of migrants from the EU to the social benefits and privileges in the UK for four years.

Meeting with Tusk was preceded by a series of visits and consultations. For extensive meetings with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and the head of the European Parliament Martin Schulz, who was in Brussels on Friday, Cameron even canceled a planned Saturday visit to Scandinavia. And just prior to Sunday dinner with the head of the Council of Europe the head of the Tory cabinet held consultations with the immediate environment. Among those who took part in the discussion were Interior Minister Theresa May, Finance Minister George Osborne and the head of the Foreign Office, Philip Hammond. Downing Street, meanwhile, it was widely believed that Cameron is not going to make a deal at any cost and to hurry on this issue will not be.

Unexpected end of dinner

When Tusk arrived at Downing Street then answering the question of journalists, whether the parties will be able to reach the deal, said only one word: “I hope.” Then press gathered at the door of the prime minister’s offices, in the mood for the long wait and the negotiations began to while away the time discussing the menu of meals served two politicians. But suddenly the door opened and the residence of the building left distressed Tusk, giving all kind realize that to continue the conversation at dinner no longer make sense. “The deal did not materialize,” – he said to reporters, then I left.

The next 24 hours of negotiations

But it took a bit of time and on the page of Cameron on Twitter appeared a completely different score results of the past conversation. “There was a good meeting with the head of the European Council, which agreed on the next 24 hours of negotiations before publish a draft revision of relations the United Kingdom (with the EU),” – said the British prime minister.

After that the press asked the inevitable question: ” So whose mouth verbs truth? “. The answer to it eventually became tweet Tusk. “The deal has not yet taken place. The intensive work over the next 24 hours will be decisive,” – said in a new report the head of the Council of Europe, which he in fact confirmed the correctness of the statements of Cameron.

Contrast the tone of statements of both politicians makes it clear who was satisfied with the outcome of negotiations, and who – is not present.

Application Downing Street

Meanwhile, in the media, referring to close to the negotiations source of information was spread that Cameron and Tusk agreed on only one four requirements to reform the relations of the United Kingdom and the EU. The ensuing official statement Downing Street this information has not denied, but it was generally couched in much more glowing colors, which forced to assume that in the negotiations rather succeeded Cameron.

The official representative of the British prime minister said, that the draft agreement on the reform should be extended to partners early in the ensuing weeks. “In the spirit of constructive meetings held Tusk made it clear that he plans to circulate the draft text (of the agreement on the reform) among all member countries (EU) on Tuesday”, – stated in the Prime Minister’s Office. According to him, Cameron and Tusk “a productive working dinner, during which were carefully considered the draft proposals for the reform in each of the four areas put forward by the Prime Minister.” “Great progress – he added – was achieved primarily in the last 48 hours after a meeting of Prime Minister with the head of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker on Friday, but (for the success of the transaction) still require a lot of hard work”.

A member of the Office of the stressed that the EU authorities have agreed to block access UK migrant workers from other EU countries to social benefits and privileges. “On the question of benefits, the Commission tabled a text which clearly stated that the current circumstances in which turned out to be the United Kingdom to meet the criteria required to trigger emergency braking (sounds like that the term used by the authorities of the EU to designate an alternative proposal in Brussels to introduce the program to block access Privilege). This is a significant breakthrough, which means that the Prime Minister may fulfill its obligation to limit migrants’ access to employment benefits for four years “, – said the representative of Downing Street.

However, he said, more “are areas where you need to do a lot”, which will require additional time to make progress. “One of these areas – continued the representative of the prime minister – is the management of the economy, where we want to guarantee that the enforcement mechanism is impermeable, recognizing that there must be a way of raising (the authorities of the EU), a problem which we are concerned. Another area – a violation of the freedom of movement, which we would like to see a more substantive proposals, including closing loopholes to penetrate the United Kingdom, which allows illegal immigrants to remain in the UK in recent years. Tomorrow morning in Brussels to meet Sherpas and work all day to resolve outstanding problems “- concluded the employee prime minister’s chancellery.

Further perspectives

It is obvious that the results of Sunday’s meeting at Downing Street allow to expect a breakthrough in the difficult relations between London and Brussels, how, and will prepare a draft the deal on the reform. However, the presence of the text of the agreement does not mean approval of the document at the February summit of the EU, as the community those countries whose citizens are actively using the opportunities of expensive British labor market, including Poland, are actively opposed to the freezing point of access to benefits. Moreover, the adoption of the reform plan at the summit – it is not a guarantee of mandatory support the idea of ​​European integration in the British referendum on the continuation of the further stay of the United Kingdom as part of the EU, which has to pass before the end of 2017. But in any case, the results of the talks Cameron and Tusk has not yet closed threads to hold the referendum in the summer of this year with an informal priority date of June 23, due to the obligatory conclusion of the deal in Brussels in February.

The latest Russian fighters Su-35s a few days ago, were transferred to the airbase Hmeymim in Syria, the newspaper writes “Kommersant” with reference to a source in the operational military command and control.

According to the official publication, the leadership of the General Staff has decided for the first time to experience these planes in combat conditions in Syria. According to “Kommersant”, according to unofficial data, we are talking about the four airplanes that in October-November last year, videoconferencing Russia handed over aircraft plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur.

According to the newspaper, these aircraft originally entered part of the 23th Fighter Regiment, 303rd Guards Composite Air Division of the 11th Army Air Force and Air Defense of the Eastern Military District (Dzemgi airfield), and then were sent to Astrakhan (airfield Volga). Several days ago, the Su-35 ° C, flew out of Astrakhan and the Caspian sea and airspace of Iran and Iraq reached Syria.

The publication also notes, quoting an officer of the General Staff, which is now part of the mixed air group videoconferencing Russia on AFB Hmeymim more than 70 airplanes and helicopters.

The information on the transfer of advanced Russian fighter jets to Syria came amid accusations by Ankara of violating Turkish airspace by Russian SU-34 January 29.

On According to a source, “Kommersant”, Turkey had previously been “extremely annoyed” measures taken by Russia after the incident with the Su-24 that Turkish fighter shot down on the border with Syria, in particular the placement at the airbase Hmeymim anti-aircraft missile systems S-400 “Triumph”, which de facto deprived of the Turkish air force access to its airspace.

Last week, Fox News Channel, with reference to the statement by a senior US official reported that Vashintogn suspected Russia of intending to create another air base in northeastern Syria, near the Turkish border. At the airport near the city of Qamishli were seen Russian military, including the Army Corps of Engineers, said the source channel. The transfer of military aircraft on the airfield in the Pentagon consider it only a matter of time, noted Fox News.

Source Channel noted that the appearance of the Russians in Qamishli is another example of how Moscow is trying to challenge Ankara.

Britain and the EU extended a day negotiations on EU membership – RIA Novosti

LONDON, February 1 – RIA Novosti. UK and the EU extended by 24 hours of the procedure for approving the terms of membership of the United Kingdom in the European Union before a detailed list of British demands to be published, Prime Minister David Cameron .

“The meeting with the President of the European Council went well, it agreed to extend the talks for another 24 hours before the list of claims the UK will be published,” – wrote Cameron on Twitter after a meeting with the head of the European Council, Donald Tusk.

On Sunday, Tusk and Cameron talked for about two hours at the residence of the British prime minister in London. After the meeting, Tusk made no statement, except for the phrase “no deal” in response to questions waiting for its release of journalists.

On Sunday afternoon a senior official in the Cabinet told British media that Cameron will use a meeting with Tusk to announce the new requirements of the EU in terms of tightening already developing EU programs to restrict access intra-European migrant workers to social benefits.

Cameron in the negotiations with the EU to change the terms of membership in Britain in the union demands to give United Kingdom law does not pay social security benefits for migrants from the EU during the first four years after their arrival. So he wants to reduce the number of migrants enjoy the benefits of the British social system. The EU does not agree with this option, but made a counter-proposal, providing for more lenient measures against migrants. Now the European Union is developing a system which has received in the media nickname “emergency brake” that would allow the UK and any other country in the EU to restrict access to social benefits of migrants from other EU states if it will be possible to justify the excessive burden on the social system.

UK referendum on the preservation of EU membership should be held no later than the end of 2017, however, according to many forecasts, could take place in 2016, the year. Cam Cameron said that the UK should stay in the EU, but subject to serious reform and renegotiation of the terms of membership of the United Kingdom. The requirements relate to four areas: competition, sovereignty, social policy and economic management. Meanwhile, European Council President Donald Tusk and other representatives of the European Union was rather skeptical about the prospects of meeting the requirements in Britain.

What Turkey has invented new incident with the Russian plane – TVNZ

Messages that occur on Saturday in the Turkish media, triggered a state of deja vu. Allegedly, on the eve of a fighter-bomber videoconferencing Russia Su-34 violated the air border of Turkey , and for 20-25 seconds ( so much after all?) was the province of Gaziantep, inhabited by Kurds.

It should be reminded that on 24 November last year, the Turks shot down in the skies over Syria Russian Su-24 bomber, who was returning from a mission to the base in Hmeymime. One of the pilots, crew commander Oleg Peshkov , died, the second pilot was able to safely evacuate. The Ankara claimed that “drying” flew into Turkish airspace, but in Russia Ministry of Defense is categorically denied, presenting objective control data. Vladimir Putin called the actions of the Turkish side, “stab in the back”, the relationship between the two countries deteriorated sharply.

And now a new incident of a similar scenario. The fire on the plane, this time the Turks did not open, but Ankara has announced that announces for its BBC «orange” alert level. It allows pilots to destroy the “hazardous goal” without the need for coordination with the command.

As with the first time the Russian Defense Ministry again rejected all accusations. The representative of the Ministry of Defense Russian Igor Konashenkov said that the statements of the Turkish side are “unfounded propaganda.” According to him, no Russian funds PVO in Syria or Syrian radar control airspace no violation of the Syrian-Turkish border, our planes have been recorded.

A some time with his statement Pentagon . There are, of course, supported the ally NATO . “We can confirm that one more Russian military aircraft violated the airspace of Turkey,” – said the Pentagon spokesman, Mark Wright . However, the evidence did not lead.

To understand why Ankara is composed now is the episode of the “new Russian invasion” quite familiar with the statement of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan . When on duty throwing thunder and lightning to the Moscow , he said he would really like to … meet with Vladimir Putin and discuss the situation with the Russian-Turkish relations. Then quietly departed from his declared “orange alert” on a tour of Latin America .

Yes, and Americans suddenly echoed Erdogan: “It is important, Russian and Turkish to speak to each other and take measures to prevent escalation, “- the report says the Pentagon.

Agree very smoothly statements. It appears in the US , and in Turkey understand that happen really new incident in the sky – the consequences could be unpredictable. So we decided to launch a phantom, to use it to find a reason to hurry to sit down for talks with Moscow.
