:02:31. > :02:39.first phase of Brexit negotiations is about. So, by today, the end of
:02:40. > :02:43.round three of the first talks, how much trust is there? It's clear that
:02:44. > :02:49.the UK does not feel legally obliged to honour its obligations after
:02:50. > :02:58.departure. How can we build trust and start discussing a future
:02:59. > :03:03.relationship? For his part, David Davis said the UK couldn't blindly
:03:04. > :03:07.trust the divorce Bill presented by the EU. The commission has set out
:03:08. > :03:14.its position and we have a duty to our taxpayers to interrogate it

:03:30. > :03:34.actually being made. David Davis picked it deliberately painted a
:03:35. > :03:38.picture of a rigid, inflexible EU. It's only through flexibility and
:03:39. > :03:44.imagination that we will achieve a deal that truly works for both

:03:57. > :04:02.TRANSLATION: I'm not frustrated but I am impatient. I'm not angry but
:04:03. > :04:05.determined. We know that Brexit will have a big impact on our lives, but
:04:06. > :04:11.how huge will depend on the nature of a transition deal and a future
:04:12. > :04:15.permanent trade deal between the EU and UK. We are nowhere near that
:04:16. > :04:18.yet, and all this deal-making could still fall apart, but there is no
:04:19. > :04:29.need to panic just yet. The EU refuses to talk about the EU- UK

:20:33. > :20:36.place where people with all kinds of disabilities can come to socialise
:20:37. > :20:40.but many face barriers when it comes to living the life. Our biggest
:20:41. > :20:45.problem is getting to work when I want to where I want to. If I want
:20:46. > :20:51.to go somewhere I should be able to get there without thinking. I need
:20:52. > :20:55.support to enable me to be independent. These barriers, which
:20:56. > :21:00.are among the many others disabled people face, have been highlighted
:21:01. > :21:05.by today's report from the United Nations. It warns the UK is going
:21:06. > :21:09.backwards. It's the result of a widescale investigation looking at
:21:10. > :21:11.the UK 's progress in implementing the UN convention on disabled
:21:12. > :21:16.people's rights which the Government signed up to in 2009. In what was
:21:17. > :21:21.the longest list of recommendations ever given to a member state, the
:21:22. > :21:25.committee said the UK must improve on accessibility to public
:21:26. > :21:29.buildings, transport and housing. Provide free or affordable legal aid
:21:30. > :21:33.to improve access to the justice system. And to better support
:21:34. > :21:38.disabled people to live independently. Half a million people
:21:39. > :21:43.had reduced the benefits, the social protection entitlements in a way
:21:44. > :21:48.that they were becoming desperate. There were people who committed
:21:49. > :21:53.suicide because of that. What we had was evidence in front of us saying

:22:33. > :22:35.be a burden on society. All right, I'm not able to work but I still
:22:36. > :22:38.want to be part of that society and do what I always used to do, and I
:22:39. > :23:02.have been stopped doing that. Such a critical report does not paint a
:23:03. > :23:04.good picture of disability rights in the UK, however the Government says
:23:05. > :23:06.it doesn't accurately reflect the evidence it gave to the UN and says
:23:07. > :23:09.it is disappointed the committee failed to realise the progress it

:24:05. > :24:07.people. It's a tiny fraction of course in terms of scale and
:24:08. > :24:09.intensity compared to how it was 20 years ago but throughout the day a
:24:10. > :24:12.stream of people have been coming here to put the flowers by the
:24:13. > :24:14.gates. William and Harry were here yesterday, they spent the day in
:24:15. > :24:17.privacy and the anniversary, this attention again poses the question
:24:18. > :24:22.how much impact did Diana have on the monarchy. In truth I don't think
:24:23. > :24:24.the reign of this particular monarch has been changed significantly. In
:24:25. > :24:27.the immediate aftermath of Diana 's death, senior members were prepared
:24:28. > :24:30.to be more open in the ways of doing things but the Queen is a product of
:24:31. > :24:33.her background and generation, and we shouldn't forget that her
:24:34. > :24:37.stoical, understated way of doing things, which was deemed to be
:24:38. > :24:41.insufficient by many people immediately after Diana's death, has
:24:42. > :24:47.been widely approved on many occasions since then. Where we do
:24:48. > :24:51.see change is in William and Harry, they are Diana's legacy and the
:24:52. > :24:55.style of doing things, which is accessible with emotional
:24:56. > :24:59.engagement, which is dignified mostly, would appear to be the style
:25:00. > :25:04.of monarchy that many people want for the future and that is down to
:25:05. > :25:07.Diana in so many ways. Nick, thank you very much.
:25:08. > :25:10.Now, it's the final day of the football transfer window.
:25:11. > :25:12.13 Premier League clubs have already broken their transfer records.
:25:13. > :25:14.Almost ?1.2 billion has been spent so far.
:25:15. > :25:16.So why are clubs prepared to spend so much,
:25:17. > :25:27.Our Sports Correspondent, Andy Swiss, reports.
:25:28. > :25:31.This report contains some flash photography.
:25:32. > :25:33.It has been a summer spending spree like no other.
:25:34. > :25:35.Big names with even bigger price tags.
:25:36. > :25:37.From Manchester to Chelsea, from Arsenal to Everton,
:25:38. > :25:39.across the Premier League clubs have been splashing the cash
:25:40. > :25:43.Among the early movers, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
:25:44. > :25:45.swapping his Arsenal shirt for a Liverpool one
:25:46. > :25:49.It has been a window of such mind-boggling numbers,
:25:50. > :25:57.fans of the summer's biggest spenders say it's worth it.
:25:58. > :26:00.That's why we pay the money, basically.
:26:01. > :26:04.We want to see success, we want to win trophies.
:26:05. > :26:11.Five summers ago, Premier League clubs spent just under half
:26:12. > :26:15.Last summer the figure had more than doubled, but that record has
:26:16. > :26:19.By this morning, clubs had spent more than 1.2 billion,
:26:20. > :26:22.and by tonight's deadline it will be far more.
:26:23. > :26:27.Well, a 50% increase in TV money, which brought last year's title
:26:28. > :26:29.winners Chelsea some ?150 million, and some say the club's buying power
:26:30. > :26:39.I think we have talked for the last 20 years
:26:40. > :26:42.about the bubble potentially bursting, and it hasn't burst yet.
:26:43. > :26:49.What will happen to football rights if an Amazon
:26:50. > :26:51.a Netflix or a Google wish to acquire the rights?
:26:52. > :26:54.You can't really predict that at the moment, but you would expect
:26:55. > :26:56.that the value will go up even further.
:26:57. > :26:58.The summer's most jaw-dropping transfer was in France -
:26:59. > :27:00.Neymar's ?200 million move to Paris Saint-Germain,
:27:01. > :27:01.but collectively it's the Premier League that
:27:02. > :27:05.leads the pricing or, as some see it, the overpricing.
:27:06. > :27:09.If ever there's a time to be a professional footballer, it's now.
:27:10. > :27:11.Average pay is over 35 million, my goodness.
:27:12. > :27:15.And tonight there could be more hefty numbers.
:27:16. > :27:17.Manchester City offering 60 million for Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez.
:27:18. > :27:34.Meteorologists say autumn starts tomorrow so for some it has been the
:27:35. > :27:38.last day of summer and a bit more rain out there with big storms
:27:39. > :27:42.around but also a splash of colour in the skies with rainbows. There
:27:43. > :27:46.are still some thunderstorms across eastern parts of England but after
:27:47. > :27:49.dark the storms and showers fade away quickly, and going into
:27:50. > :27:56.September we have a chilly start because temperatures will dip away
:27:57. > :28:01.under clear skies. Lower than this away from towns and city centres,
:28:02. > :28:11.even low single figures in some and places. After the sunshine, showers
:28:12. > :28:16.will break out but many places will avoid them and stay dry, that will
:28:17. > :28:22.be the case across Scotland and much of Northern Ireland. Across northern
:28:23. > :28:26.England there could still be some slow-moving thundery downpours but
:28:27. > :28:33.even here there will be some places that stay dry. Looking into the west
:28:34. > :28:36.and Wales, lots of dry weather to be found here and it is still
:28:37. > :28:41.pleasantly warm when the sun makes an appearance. That's Friday for
:28:42. > :28:45.you. Saturday is fine, but Sunday has rain coming in.
:28:46. > :28:48.That's all from the BBC News at Six so it's goodbye from me,
:28:49. > :28:50.and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.
