UK Isolated - EU agrees fiscal deal

The UK effectively used its veto to block an attempt, led by the French and Germans.

Today; European leaders say 26 out of 27 EU member states have agreed a tax and budget agreement to tackle the debt crisis of eurozone.

The 17 countries that use the euro have all agreed to the deal; nine other countries have said they will sign up.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy said they could not accept the demand of Mr Cameron's (UK Prime Minister) insistence on a protocol allowing London to opt-out on proposed change on financial services.

Europe pushes ahead with fiscal union, UK isolated.
