ITV News Europe Editor James Mates reports

European leaders have been unable to agree a deal with Turkey on resolving the migration crisis, an EU official has said.

The official said talks would continue over the coming days.

It comes as Turkey put forward a revised proposal to help stop migrants flooding into Europe by offering to take back all migrants and refugees who enter Europe from Turkey in future, in return for more money, faster visa-free travel for Turks and accelerated EU membership talks.

According to ITV News Europe Editor James Mates the inability to reach an agreement on Monday evening may have been because Turkey 'overplayed its hand' in making the demands.

However the unnamed official told Reuters "several countries really like the idea" but there was not enough time to turn the deal around.

He said: "Several countries really like the idea but cannot accept adeal tonight because of the very short preparation time. Theywill welcome the higher ambition but they can't nail down allthe points today.

"There are some clarifications needed. We will work on it intensively in the coming days."
