Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One.

After four days of Brexit talks, the EU's chief negotiator has said

there are still fundamental disagreements between the EU

and the UK about citizens' rights, and that clarification is needed

from Britain on a number of important issues,

However, Michel Barnier said there had been some areas

of agreement about how Britons living abroad, and EU nationals

living in this country, should be treated once Britain has

With the latest on the negotiations, here's Andy Moore.

Brexit Secretary David Davis looked happy enough this morning as he came

back to Brussels to lead the British side one day four of these

negotiations. Behind the scenes, 98 British officials have been going

through the detail in talks that were supposed to be about the

substance of Brexit. There were three main topics of discussion, the

rights of citizens, both EU citizens living in the UK and Britons living

in the EU. The financial so-called divorce Bill Britain will have to

pay. And then there is the question of the Irish border, a new frontier

between the EU and UK. The message from the EU's chief negotiator was

that he was still unsure about precisely what the UK position was

on many issues. Transmission macro we require this clarification on

financial settlement of citizens rights, an island, with the two key

points of the Common Travel Area and the Good Friday Agreement, and on

the other separation issues. Michel Barnier said there was fundamental

diversions on certain issues. David Davis said the talks had been robust

but constructive, and he admitted there was a lot left to talk about.

All in all the second round of negotiations has given us a look to

be positive about, and it highlighted the need sides to

demonstrate a dynamic and flexible approach. We conducted this round

constructively and at pace and I hope this will continue. To coin a

phrase, the clock is ticking. The negotiations began on Monday. Even

then, there were fears in Europe that what was seen as a divided

Cabinet in London might make Britain's position unclear. What the

EU is finding frustrating is that they are not sure what the UK

Government wants, and that there is no coherent strategy or vision

coming from the UK of what the UK, at a political level, once the

relationship to look like afterwards. The next round of talks

is due to begin at the end of August. There are difficulties to

come, most clearly over the EU insistence that the European Court

of Justice should oversee the right of EU citizens in the UK. So far at

least, that has been a red line for Britain. On the thorny question of

the divorce Bill, Michel Barnier said an orderly exit required

Britain to settle its bill. David Davis said Britain recognised its

rights and responsibilities. In a moment, we'll be speaking to

Iain Watson in Westminster, but first to Christian Fraser

in Brussels. Clearly, a number of sticking point

as far as the EU is concerned. What are some of the real key areas of

concern? I think anybody watching this would see that there is a warm

relation between these two men, but a difference in tone. David Davis

upbeat today, saying they had looked at the key issues and found areas of

agreement and also areas of disagreement as for Michel Barnier,

you could detect a hint of frustration, largely when it comes

to the financial settlement. They want to see the UK's handful but the

UK side that made it clear throughout this week that they need

see some proper numbers from the EU side, and Michel Barnier said in

this press conference today that they have provided a detailed legal

analysis of what is owed. That will form part of the negotiation, you'd

expect, in round three. The really tricky issue comes down to citizens'

rights, and they uphold the rights of European citizens that are

currently in the UK? This is where besides diverged. There is a red

line for Theresa May on the ECJ playing a future role, the European

Court of Justice. For Michel Barnier's perspective, if you are

going to keep the same rights, it has to be EU case law which

prevails, and it is the court which produced that case law, the European

Court of Justice, which he thinks should have jurisdiction over those

3 million people in the UK. There is an interesting question from the

Daily Telegraph, saying, Michel Barnier, can you give us an example

where an outside court has jurisdiction in a sovereign country?

He found that difficult answer. Let's go to Iain Watson at

Westminster. David Davis using the word robust. What is your reading of

how this is going from the British perspective? I think robust on both

sides. Was interesting that Michel Barnier time and again asked for

clarification on the British position, not just on the so-called

divorce Bill but the Irish border as well. Effectively, the accusation

was that Britain was unprepared for these negotiations. If you remember

that photograph at the beginning of the week, David Davis turning up to

negotiations without any papers, that hugely irritated him and he

felt it gave a misleading impression of how Britain is handling this.

There were 96 officials there negotiating. Although it is quite

easy to outnumber the EU officials, I think any football fan will tell

you, you can pack as many players into the fence as you like, but

nifty footwork can get round it. Dashing into defence. There is a

lack of clarity as Michel Barnier would see it but it is a good

political reason for that at this stage. Britain wanted the EU to show

their hand first, but don't forget we've got the Repeal Bill going back

to Parliament in September. If David Davis was talking about a figure of

how much he thought we ought to be paying the EU in order to leave, he

might be facing a rebellion in his own ranks, just as sensitive

negotiations resume in Brussels. So I think he is keen to avoid that.

It's notable that, on the one that both sides agree is a priority for

these negotiations, EU citizens' rights, on some fundamental points,

they are still pretty far apart. One of the key sticking points

in the Brexit negotiations is the size of what's been called

the divorce bill that the European Union wants the UK

to pay upon leaving. Some EU leaders have indicated it

could be as high as ?88 billion, and they say no trade deal can be

struck until the sum is agreed. Our Diplomatic Correspondent,

James Robbins, has been looking at some of the issues,

including why there's a bill to pay No nation state has ever left

the European Union before, so think of this as the first

divorce in history. How on earth do you calculate

a possible bill to be paid? The British Government

did concede last week There was a statement to Parliament

last Thursday that the UK has financial "obligations" from its EU

membership, which may have soothed a row with

Europe's chief negotiator, after the Foreign Secretary,

Boris Johnson, said Brussels should The sums that I have seen

that they propose to demand from this country seem to me to be

extortionate and I think to go whistle is an entirely

appropriate expression. I'm not hearing any whistling,

just the clock ticking. The EU's chief negotiator has never

put a number on the UK's exit bill, but unofficial estimates have ranged

widely, from ?18 billion to about ?88 billion,

or 100 billion euros. What did the EU suggest

the UK's obligations are? The largest could be for EU road,

rail and other infrastructure Then there are commitments

to investment projects in less developed regions,

in rural areas and for fisheries. And will Britain have to pay a share

of other long term obligations, including pensions for EU staff

who are British? This is not a complete list,

and all of it will be vigorously disputed from both sides

of the table. If the British side is tough,

expect at least equal Let's take a look at the timeline

for the divorce negotiations. Three rounds of Brexit talks

are scheduled for August, Then, in late October,

at a summit in Brussels, EU leaders will assess progress

on the divorce issues. The EU side says it's only

after they judge enough progress has been made -

including on money - that they will allow formal

discussion to begin on Britain's post-Brexit relations with the EU -

including, crucially, trade. The reality in all of this

is there is no precedent to rely on. Expect little or no clarity

until everything is finally settled, New research suggests one in three

cases of dementia could be prevented if more of us looked

after the health of our An international study,

published in the Lancet, lists nine key risk factors,

including a lack of education, smoking, hearing loss

and physical inactivity. Our medical correspondent,

Fergus Walsh, reports. Now there is another

reason to stay active. Keeping fit can reduce your risk

of getting dementia as well as protect against heart

disease and cancer. Keeping the mind active throughout

life, like with this Spanish class, helps to build what the study calls

cognitive reserve, strengthening the brain so that it can function

in later life despite damage. It's not surprising to me that

learning a language will help, because there's a lot of memory

recall, and it's keeping everything firing, which you tend to stop doing

when you're stopping studying. Learning anything, especially

language, possibly, would give somebody who might be worried

about Alzheimer's, an opportunity The main risk for

dementia is old age. But the Lancet study says that 35%

of all cases could potentially be prevented if nine other

factors were addressed. They are - lack of education,

hearing loss, smoking, depression, social isolation,

physical inactivity, high blood pressure,

obesity and diabetes. It's never too early,

so starting off with education And then, throughout your adult

life, having an enriched environment where you socialise and exercise

and do cognitively stimulating And don't smoke, try not to be

obese, try to be active. These things can really

make a difference. Hobbies like dancing

and not just good exercise, they prevent people

from being cut off Social isolation is not good

for your brain, and actually trying to maintain social networks

keep your brain active, whether that's doing a crossword

puzzle, learning to dance or higher education later in life, we don't

think it particularly matters, it's about keeping your brain

active and healthy. Alzheimer's Disease

accounts for about two There is still no drug that

can slow its progress. The Alzheimer's Society says

dementia is set to be And we all need to be aware

of the risks and start making There was a 10% rise

in recorded crime in England and Wales in the year to March,

with nearly 5 million The figures come from the Office

for National Statistics, as it emerged that the number

of police officers is at its lowest Our home affairs correspondent,

Danny Shaw, is with me. Danny, what is really significant in

these figures? These figures on crimes recorded by police show that,

in almost every category, offending is going up, so for example we are

seeing, in terms of violence, that is up 18%. Also seeing knife crime

is up 20%, and even traditional types of crime, as car crime, there

is an increase of 11%. Other types of traditional crime that we thought

were going down, which had been going on for a long time, burglary

has shown an increase of 3%. Fraud is on the increase as well. So some

worrying figures, I think, for the Home Office and all of us. And how

much of this, as always, is down to a genuine increase, as far as we can

tell, and how much is people being more willing to report, or the way

into our recorded? There is no doubt that some of the increase is due to

people coming forward and reporting more offending, sexual offences,

domestic violence for example. Some of it is due to changes in the way

that police record crimes. They have improved the way they process the

data. But the experts are also saying there are genuine increases

it. For example, the homicide figures, cases of murder and

manslaughter, they are not figures that can be fiddled or manipulated.

They are showing big increase and they are at the highest level for

eight years. We are seeing across the board a sustained and genuine

increase in crime. Two US Congressional committees

investigating allegations of Russian interference in last year's

Presidential election are to question members

of Donald Trump's inner circle. His eldest son, Donald Junior,

and former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, will appear next

Wednesday. His son-in-law, Jared Kushner,

will face questions on Monday. Our correspondent Gary

O'Donoghue is in Washington. Is this all adding up to another

very difficult week for Donald Trump? Yes, it keeps Russia firmly

on the front pages, where it's been really pretty much for six months

for the president. His son-in-law, Jared Kushner, a key White House

counsel, senior member of the inner circle where, he'll be questioned in

private by one of the committees upon the hill, so we won't

necessarily hear what comes out of that, unless some of the senators

start talking. They'll want to talk to him particularly about this

meeting come of this now famous, infamous meeting last year, with a

Russian lawyer, who was supposedly offering some dirt on Hillary

Clinton. Turned out not to be useful, apparently, they want to ask

him about that. They also want to ask about allegations that he trying

to set up a kind of back channel to Russia, the the Kremlin, during the

transition before Donald Trump became president, using Russian

equipment because he didn't trust, or because the Trump team didn't

trust the American intelligence services. And also they'll want to

talk to him I'm sure about his meetings with various Russian banks

around the same time as well. So there's an awful lot to deal with

there for the Trump family. Gary O'Donoghue, thanks, in Washington.

Thousands of people had to leave their homes.

Our correspondent Phil Mackie has returned to some

of the worst affected areas, and joins me from Upton-upon-Severn

Yes, I don't think anybody who lived through it will remember, will ever

forget, sorry, July 20 2007. It was a day where people got separated

from their families, got stranded, couldn't get home, they lost their

cars, their property of their homes. Look at Upton today, a pretty

picture. It's gearing up for the annual blues Festival. Really, if

you take it back ten years, things looked very different.

It was a day that no one who lived through it will ever forget.

The ground was already saturated and it just didn't stop raining.

Every ditch, brook, stream and road was flooded for 30

Families were split up and the emergency services

We had every single resource we have across 27 fire stations and at that

time 43 fire engines - every single resource was deployed.

I was sort of thinking to myself and I know the other senior

officers was that's it, we've not got anything

Everything we had was out on the ground.

Every officer, every fire engine, every firefighter, was out doing

All along the Severn, towns and villages were cut off.

10,000 homes and businesses were inundated.

I've come a couple of miles down the river from Upton,

to one of the many, many places that was flooded that day.

This is the village of Uckinghall and I remember coming to this house.

It was flooded up to those first-floor windows

and for a time you could only get into the village by boat.

Even though they were used to flooding, that day was exceptional.

Now it's protected by flood barriers.

We got caught out - it was just too quick.

It was an extreme event that happened before,

but not in our living memories, you might say.

In Upton-upon-Severn, temporary flood barriers were stuck

elsewhere and its historic waterfront went underwater.

We're light years ahead from where we were in 2007 and it

isn't just the flood defences, it's the way we plan,

it's the way we work with the Met Office now in terms

of looking at weather forecasts well in advance,

the way we work with professional partners like police,

They've all come on so much since 2007.

The town is now much better protected, but the events

of a decade ago won't be easily forgotten.

You know what, the river level at the moment is especially low,

ironically, ten years on. Ten new years ago it was five metres higher

than it is now. The caravans you can see from the shot now were

completely thrown about by the water. Everything in this shot was

under water at the time. In fact, they had to redraw the flood maps as

a result of those 2007 floods. It affected businesses for a long time.

Luckily with all the festivals that take place in places like this, they

are well on the road to recovery. Thank you, Phil Mackie.

this year being held at Royal Birkdale near Southport.

No British or Northern Irish golfer has won at Birkdale in the last

nine championships - although local favourite

Our sports correspondent Andy Swiss is there.

Welcome to Birkdale, where the Open Championship is living up to its

name. The blustery conditions making life tricky for the players. This

course hasn't been a particularly successful one for British players

over the years, but the home fans have had plenty to cheer this

morning. Good morning, ladies

and gentlemen, welcome A warm welcome for the fans,

but not exactly for the players. A brisk breeze meant testing

conditions at Birkdale. For the early starters,

the leaderboard made But not for all, as a home

favourite set the early pace. Ian Poulter has been struggling

with his form this year, And those are the ones,

if you're going to win, Indeed, the British challenge made

a sprightly start, with Justin Rose, who famously finished fourth

here as a teenager nearly two decades ago,

was soon also on a charge, but Birkdale is proving a test

for the best. And the latest I can tell you is

that Jordan Spieth and Brooks Koepka now lead, on four under par, one

shot clear of Ian Poulter. Plenty of big names still to start their

rounds this afternoon, including Lee Westwood and Rory McIlroy.

Andy Swiss. We had flooding yesterday evening,

across Lancashire and North Wales. You can see the flood waters in the

town. Partly these thunderstorms were driven by the very humid air we

had over as, all the moisture helping those thunderstorms form. We

have a change in the weather today, as the humid air is blown away,

fresh air moving in behind weather front. That change is taking place

at the moment across eastern parts of England. It's been quite dull

morning across of Cambridge still with some bursts of rain around as

well. You see how the rain continues to work eastwards across eastern

England and northwards across northern Scotland, with brighter

skies following to the south-west. The sun is out and the surf is up in

Cornwall, it looks glorious. I almost want to dive in myself! This

afternoon the rain will push away from northern and eastern areas with

sunshine coming out. 20 of heavy showers working into Northern

Ireland. There's quite a high chance of catching a shower. Also, some be

thundery in nature. In between the showers, temperatures between 17-22.

Not feeling too bad. And improving picture at the open golf, with some

sunshine coming through. There will be blustery winds lasting through

the rest of the day. Overnight tonight, outbreaks of rain will

eventually begin to spill into Northern Ireland, Wales and

south-west England. Another change on the way, as low pressure begins

to spin in. Across eastern and northern areas it should stay

largely dry. A mild night with temperatures 11-16. This is the

pressure chart for tomorrow. It doesn't look particularly nice. This

area of low pressure will be with is not

through just Friday but lasting through the weekend as well.

Friday's weather brings wet and windy conditions to south-west

England and were, weather will be gale force gusts of wind. Over an

inch falling in places. It will be wet in Northern Ireland. Across

northern Scotland, eastern Scotland and eastern England, some dry

moments and sunshine. Temperatures up to 23. The low pressure will stay

with us through the weekend. There will be further bursts of rain,

heavy thundery downpours that will be slow-moving. There will also be

some drier slots. In south-east England, not a bad day on Saturday

with some sunshine. Northern and western areas of Scotland avoiding

the rain, but there will be heavy downpours for Wales and south-west

England and the weather looks quite miserable for parts of north-east

England and south-east Scotland. Not feeling particularly special and as

the low pressure moves further east, we'll see further heavy thundery

showers become more widespread in nature across the eastern side of

the country. Not the greatest weekend.
