EU Summit: Atmosphere outside EU Council buildings in Brussels Images show the atmosphere outside of the EU Council buildings in Brussels on the morning of an EU summit aimed at setting a seven-year budget despite splits between some stingy rich nations, poorer ones wanting to preserve spending and others wanting to fund grand global ambitions. The money tussle, hard-fought at the best of times, is especially problematic this time around because of Britain's departure from the EU. The talks are expected to be so strained that some of the 27 EU delegations are preparing for the summit to drag out into the weekend. IMAGES
