German Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives suffer another electoral blow after Berlin elections in which voters reject her migrant policy and lend more support to an emergent far-right anti-immigration party. Ashraf Fahim reports.
President of the European Council Donald Tusk declared that the UK will not be allowed to access the EU single market without accepting the freedom of movement of citizens, during a press conference in Brussels on Wednesday. "There will be no single market a la carte," he stressed. The announcement comes after all the EU leaders met for the first time since the British referendum result last Friday.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel stated that the UK will lose access to the EU's single market if it doesn't accept EU rules on the freedom of movement, during a press conference following a European Council emergency meeting on Brexit in Brussels, Wednesday.
French President Francois Hollande said the UK must accept several preconditions if it is to access the single market following any exit from the European Union, during a press conference held in Brussels on Wednesday. Hollande also suggested the UK would have to pay direct costs to the EU, similar to Norway, in order to access the single market. The French president also ruled out any "prenegotiation" period, urging the new UK Conservative government to trigger Article 50 as soon as possible.
