He usually keep you know attic we want you to get them out today after jools holland revealed has egg credible model railway but that's all to come off to we just brought you up to date albrecht sick has well tell you what you've you need to know which isn't a huge about this the morning not much as moved on from yesterday the president of the european commission joan claude young cut says what he wants is for the u.k. To setout clearly what it will it's from the breck's that negotiations now he was speaking off to to reason may address tut 27 fellow you ulead is in brussels last night she was asking basically for their help to get this breck's it withdrawal agreement through parliament now the problem is e.u. Lead is a saying this is not open for renegotiation and they are also stepping up preparations for britain leaving without a deal if you'll be impossible to really go for the he go she ate it's residual riemann something that is a given so much for me to call for for little are you should you guys should the u.k. Your soul do rituals mum nords 14 or are you seat no member sure to curse or you me no freeman the people given all those redlines this is you only deal possible to deal that we have is the only deal on the table at took almost 2 years to negotiation as the european union were very keen to offer explanations assurances clarification's anything that may assist and peace to understand the agreements and hopefully to supporters what the backstop is not on the table the we are a these 2 Talk about how this deal may be better explained we are ready to have some interpretation Sunny says but we are not to really negotiate the negotiations are concluded its Well that was the Dutch prime minister Margaret at the T.V. Show Glee over aka on the remaining President Klaus Iona IO harness it is day 2 of this summit later the E.U. 27 will carry on without 2 reason my here is our Europe reporter and Breck's it cost presenter Adam Fleming on the latest edition of the podcast talking about the draft conclusions that may emerge from this summit on the withdrawal agreement this is what the E.U. Leaders have been discussing the backstop was triggered the E.U. Would still continue using its best endeavors to negotiate a future trade deal with the U.K. That would sweep the backstop away now that is new I think because until now when the withdrawal agreement it just says that the E.U. Would use best endeavors to get a trade deal that means the backstop isn't required by the end of the transition period this is them now saying they would continue those negotiations using their best endeavors that legal language even after the backstop had come into force and that is to prove that the backstop is indeed temporary in the E.U.'s eyes not some hideous trap designed to entrap the U.K. For the rest of time and right it goes on this is also I'm told 2 stage process of reassurance that will start tomorrow there just hasn't been the time to come up with detailed legal documents so that's Adam Fleming his assessment of where the wiggle room wriggle room ict be but whether that will be enough to win round to raise amazed attract is a whole other question Jennifer Baker is a proselyte based journalist Hi Jennifer good morning thank you for your time did you see any of the 27 yesterday any of the leaders that offer to reason by anything at all that might change things back at home for her. Well. Theresa God rather regularly said we were still standing out in the code waiting and hoping to hear something new that was you know a lot of tea and sympathy but not a lot on substance and very much predictable I mean there's injuries and surprise I think coming from on some of the borders that she wasn't getting from New Zealand surance but frankly that was never on the cards so this is no way to get enough you wouldn't think given the strength of feeling around the backstop in the U.K. But the words around her were very well not clearly trying to help but just call it ALSO anything practical they keep saying they have more they applaud the way she's negotiated all of this that you know that trying to help her out but ultimately if they call shift a tool in some of the wording on this it's pretty used. I mean from Teresa Mayes perspective yes it is I mean they all say well you know we admire her I think in some ways all a little bit baffled as to how she has along quite as long because everyone you know here in Brussels I mean it's all seen not just Brussels at the 27 other capitals are looking across and seeing what's happening in the U.K. And reading the papers and wondering you know what's going on in many ways with their captors up to date by the British media as many people in the U.K. Are. And so this is the language in a progenitor as being as being put out there front and center as being one who is somehow dashed her hopes and using language are U.K. Friend of his friends or even males are friends. That's all busy very clear but in practice the E.U. Has been very consistent A lot has been quite surprising given sometimes with very different warring different positions of the other 27 capitals but you know when you think of 27 different you member states it's a richer juggernaut it doesn't turn around easily and it was never going to turn around at this point they're all you Nigel a purpose and to try and change out of a want to pull away and there's been a great deal of solidarity with Dublin really over our car and a lot. Never going to change what we thought might happen is that there will be a lot of conciliatory language and she may get more got some new concern no concessions but new conciliatory wording around the backstop but the negotiations are underway reopening only Walton's her chief negotiator sent back here to Brussels last Monday and has been doing the rounds trying to talk all the Sherpas here but is being told we will help as much as we can with the language with some sort of dressing window dressing as it were but we are not we are opening negotiations the only while it is the wrong way to put it but the any kind of clear alternative to back Sion is that we head towards a no deal which is why the stepping up preparations that now Kitty many politicians in the U.K. a Little would like to avoid that will do everything they can to avoid it but the E.U. Is taking up prospects seriously. Absolutely I mean many politician came out and said that as we saw the arrival to deescalate them and of anger Merkel is still although she's not going to run again is still a bellwether for what's happening and she very clearly said that this is not up for renegotiation and Margaret is the other. Really you have to be an air force to the other prime minister that no choice to make him and met this week in her whistlestop many church term persuadable also said the same thing it's not up for a negotiation in a way that Cerys may favor a village from a negotiation you start to reopen these talks then everyone is back at the table asking for something in Spain will ask for a lot more concessions and your voters should such a thing be open for negotiation what she hopes for today and Frank and a lot of other things on the Council summit agenda for today they've got the multi annual financial framework for graven 2127 there's also issues of migration discussion going all anti what may happen before the E.U. Election in terms of this information and Russia these are all the other issues which are already only agenda for this particular summit it was Frank as there was added at the last minute because they thought it would of been countered by now to a lot of other things that the prime minister These are the leaders of the different countries want to talk about kind of fortune trying to make a little bit of respect for the down they wish this was all over by now. And there are a few people who think not. Quite Jennifer bacon he's a proselyte placed journalist that's why we stop this morning that old man is past 6. Radio 4 messages. Must be a monument trouble for you D M 25 is tight on. The M 3 Junction and then to check. Plus a new list and up fast March. Is B.B.C. 5 Live was. So mention this model railway that Louis Louis Jools Holland has constructed it's taken him years it's featured on the front cover on the inside pages of the railway mandala magazine but it's been widely shared now I'm looking at it in the mail this morning but you'll see it on social media as well and it is the most extraordinary detailed enormous model that he has in the attic of his home in Kent and he's been a railway model asked since he was a kid and uses his down time to indulge in this passion the way he describes it I think it's just utterly charming Steve I don't know if you're much into model pleasure so you drop it like a duck. I'm not sure where you find that farm in the patients to do it quite frankly when you're a musician and a very successful one you don't necessarily need to work 50 hours wait you do have a bit of time on your hands he says his visits to the attic usually begin with some modeling before settling down with a glass of wine to play a few trains to run a few trains with some music playing gently in the background sounds like quite a nice way to spend an evening out if you need space and an understandable family that when you do need you to finitely need to understand all the luxuries that are afforded everybody some of the detail in this is extraordinary includes buildings from kind of post-war Britain but also iconic buildings from London through the ages in other parts of Europe as well I was wondering has he built this wall from scratch himself the answer is No it's been built with the help of fellow enthusiasts who don't perhaps have the same enormous Matic in the same understanding family so he gets a bit of help and they feature buildings constructed from scratch and from kits so a bit of both and it also includes an underground rail connection it's got a little choo bar that runs on the ground if you have a little look I mean the detail is amazing on it but this little private passions What is it. I know that is going on a slightly dodgy right what is it you got up here in your attic in your shed and your private space those throwing a load of junk up there to get it out of the way. No but sorting out dollars because that can be a very heated therapeutic experience but just chucking up their knives that's just that's not a private. Time right there in the end let us all right 55 B.B.C. 5 Live for a hash tag friendly Friday morning and Steve is here he's always friendly always a smile on his face but it was an ugly night in a football last night a not very friendly experience at school are honestly cannot believe we are talking about this so soon again after what happened at the weekend Chelsea have condemned Rachel the brainless mind. Nor 80 of supporters who were responsible for chanting an anti semitic song during last night's hero proly game in hungry and now Chelsea said those supporters had bought shame on the club the Chelsea owner of course Roman Abramovich is Jewish and they have issued an admirable and pretty vigorous response saying anti semitism of any kind or any racial or religious hatred is abhorrent to this club and the overwhelming majority of our fans any individuals that cannot summon the brainpower to comprehend this simple message found to have shamed the club will face the strongest possible action now it comes of course swiftly on the back of another unsavory incident involving Chelsea supporters the Press Association reporter Matt McGhee chicken was at the game and explained what happened bear in mind this is the 1st match since for supporters suspended alleged racial abuse towards Wright Manchester City last Saturday it was a charm that shows he's done in the past and references top one sport is using. The Semitic. About Jewish people it's so mindless and has really there is a kind of bleak football story to wake up to again this morning we'll talk to either of the deal who we've spoken to before about this is made a film about tackling racism anti-Semitism in particular football clubs and I know he's kind of utterly disheartened still this is going on time after time and Chelsea may well face punishment for this Rachel your wife we understand are awaiting the referee's report before deciding what if any action to take should mention a finished wall in the game between Chelsea and viddy Chelsea already through his group winners in the Europa League which is also the case incidentally for Arsenal who beat Karabakh one there at home courtesy of Alexandra to go to the Scottish clubs yes we talk. The positive talk about Celtic because they will get insulted in a moment because they're the crushing disappointment really in everything last night bearing in mind what a good European group stage competition it has been for the British clubs with all 4 going through from the Premier League in the Champions League that unfortunately that could not be the case for ranges who are out of the police they lost one nil in Austria to Rapid Vienna they went through instead courtesy of a winning goal that was scored by day and just 6 minutes from the end and the former Scotland international Willie Miller he said there simply was not enough of a threat from ranges the problem on the night and also being an issue for Rangers in the last 2 games the last 3 games you know that like a clear like a really looking as though they're going to faint at the back of the net there will be frustration Absolutely because a child is reserved for them but on the day I didn't think that they were good enough not good enough at the end of the day but Celtic did scrape through here my goodness what a drummer It was involving Celtic they always seem to provide it on European nights don't they because they last but was somehow still celebrating at full time through to the round of 32 in the early despite a 21 defeat against another Austrian Austrian seem at home against R.P. Salzburg as Celtic who could have just saved us all the bother with a positive result of their own scraping through courtesy of a late equalizing goal for Rosenborg at RB like to see they sneak through and their manager Brendan Rodgers delighted that as far as Scottish football is concerned they are flying the flag I think we're trying to represent Scottish football in the best way you know we know it's a difficult moment times for us and you look at the investments of course until all the major leagues so I think it's something that the players and everyone can be proud of you know for us to to get through I think everyone looked at the group and saw if we could come through the Via Appia brilliant achievement the great body toil of your. And guess what you don't know. What I mean. Be ready for. The 7 the Irish or thought that would be fantastic but if you can get great the even greater roadie full size will be joining us it's going to talk this morning to talk about all of that and his greit mentality but that was a tough group itself the very most Brendan Rodgers is right even though it came on the slightly chaotic circumstance of a fine achievement to get out of that group also on this program 620.

John are still one of those you know maybe I'm a big boy or girl for you never know to Friday Friday night what's going on well it's happening in somebodies house this year so effectively wrote rewinding time is to be over turn into the house party now to my mind this could all get very very messy yes it's off to Carmel who is one of our editors here who let this happen as if she knows what she's letting us off in full but there were a few raised eyebrows about this going to someone's house for a Christmas party not in part it's because for a long time the B.B.C. Doesn't pay its stall for Christmas parties quite rightly so objecting to that so I've put in a bit of their own money so it makes it a bit more economically viable and all of that given how expensive it is on a Friday night but the other end of the extreme I'm. Still amazed you meet people whose Christmas parties are paid for by the office I was hearing about one company I won't mention that splashing out in the marketing department 100 grand on the staff Christmas pa
