Following failures to reach agreements in the Brexit negotiation process with EU leaders in Salzburg this week, UK Prime Minister Theresa May has given a statement telling the other 27 members of the European Union that their behaviour was not acceptable.
Mrs May argued that the EU had rejected her proposals without coming up with counter negotiations on two major sticking points - the UK's Economic Policy post-Brexit and the issues surrounding the Irish boarder.
In her address, Prime Minster May said she would not agree to measures that would undermine the referendum results.

According to a poll by Gallup Korea, President Moon Jae-in's approval rating hit 61 percent.
It was hovering just below 50 percent before he met North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in Pyongyang this week.
Kim promised to shut down parts of his nuclear weapons program at the summit.
Moon has made peace on the Korean Peninsula a priority of his presidency. And this year military tensions have been remarkably low.
Moon also championed himself as a jobs president.
But a series of labor reforms, including a minimum wage hike, have hurt his popularity at home.
So Moon will need more than pledges from Kim to keep the public satisfied.

The head of the European Council has said that British Prime Minister Theresa May's blueprint for future relations with the EU after Brexit will not work.
Mrs May addressed a summit of EU leaders in Salzburg Wednesday, calling for them to accept what she called her serious so-called Chequers plan. She also urged them to evolve their position on the tricky Irish border question.
Speaking after the 27 EU leaders had met to discuss Brexit without Theresa May, Donald Tusk said the proposal risked undermining the EU's single market.
