Caption: Burnham To Meet German Chancellor For Security And EU Talks. Prime Minister Andy Burnham is set to meet German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in Berlin for talks focused on security and Britain's relationship with the European Union. Downing Street said closer cooperation against cyberattacks and sabotage would be high on the agenda amid warnings of growing hybrid threats from Russia. The meeting comes after Burnham said his government would examine options for a closer relationship with the EU, including the possibility of eventually rejoining the bloc. Germany has said any future referendum on EU membership would be a decision for Britain, while expressing support for stronger UK-EU ties. French Finance Minister Roland Lescure has also recently invited Britain to "come all the way" back to the EU. Burnham will be welcomed with military honours before holding his first face-to-face meeting with Chancellor Merz. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
