The divorce bill is at the heart of the row. | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
The EU hits back after Britain's team says it's being asked to pay | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
The commission has set out its position, | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
and we have a duty to our taxpayers to interrogate it rigorously, | :00:19. | :00:25. | |
It is clear the UK does not feel legally obliged to honour | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
With the timetable slipping, we'll be asking if there is a way | :00:30. | :00:38. | |

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:26. | :01:48. | |
The latest round of Brexit talks ended in Brussels today with both | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
sides suggesting the other was to blame for | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
A major sticking point is the so-called divorce bill - | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
the amount Britain will have to pay as it leaves the EU. | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
So the EU's Michel Barnier summed up the session, | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
saying "no decisive progress" had been made on key issues. | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
But the Brexit Secretary, David Davis, warned that only | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
"flexibility and imagination" would lead to a deal. | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
From Brussels, our Europe Editor, Katya Adler, reports. | :02:17. | :02:24. | |
Trust building between the two sides. That's what the EU says this | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
first phase of Brexit negotiations is about. So, by today, the end of | :02:31. | :02:39. | |
round three of the first talks, how much trust is there? It's clear that | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
the UK does not feel legally obliged to honour its obligations after | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
departure. How can we build trust and start discussing a future | :02:50. | :02:58. | |
relationship? For his part, David Davis said the UK couldn't blindly | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
trust the divorce Bill presented by the EU. The commission has set out | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
its position and we have a duty to our taxpayers to interrogate it | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
rigorously. Behind the smart suits, dusted smiles, it was clear that | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
both sides were talking at cross purposes today about what Brexit | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
subject to tackle in what order, and whether and much progress is | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
actually being made. David Davis picked it deliberately painted a | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
picture of a rigid, inflexible EU. It's only through flexibility and | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
imagination that we will achieve a deal that truly works for both | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
sides. Shall Garnier insisted the UK had to be more clear, and realistic | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
about of Brexit deal. -- Michel Barnier. He said the EU couldn't be | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
flexible if the UK didn't show its hand. | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
TRANSLATION: I'm not frustrated but I am impatient. I'm not angry but | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
determined. We know that Brexit will have a big impact on our lives, but | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
how huge will depend on the nature of a transition deal and a future | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
permanent trade deal between the EU and UK. We are nowhere near that | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
yet, and all this deal-making could still fall apart, but there is no | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
need to panic just yet. The EU refuses to talk about the EU- UK | :04:19. | :04:29. | |
future until various substantive progress on the divorce deal. Both | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
sides agree reassuring EU citizens in the UK and UK citizens in the EU | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
is a top priority, but they still disagree over whether the European | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
Court of Justice should have a role in guaranteeing the rights of | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
individuals. An Ireland, progress has made, especially around | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
protecting in Northern and Republic of Ireland Common Travel Area, but | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
the so-called divorce Bill is the biggest sticking point right now. | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
The EU wants the UK to pay up to 100 billion due -- 100 billion euros in | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
what it sees as financial obligations the UK agreed to while a | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
member. The UK says it will pay something, but it refuses to | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
specify. These Brexit talks have largely been technical, political | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
pressure to push for progress is unlikely to come from the UK or the | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
EU until after the Conservative Party conference or the formation of | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
a new German government after elections next month. Meanwhile, is | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
the EU likes to repeat, the clock to the end of the UK's EU membership is | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
ticking. Clearly something of a stand-off, so | :05:32. | :05:40. | |
what happens now? I think you'd expect a certain amount of | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
Gloucester at this stage. He is one of those politicians standing tall | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
and sounding tough. -- a certain amount of bluster. They are doubly | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
domestic audiences and they want to show that if their conferences, they | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
were hard-fought. What is becoming clear that could be dangerous for | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
the talks is that they have very different positions in each | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
politician is convinced they will wear down the other one. The EU will | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
not indulge in that creative thinking David Davis is asking for | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
if it means breaking its own rules and weakening the single market, and | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
the government will find it difficult to say to the people of | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
the UK, I know we didn't tell you this but it's going to cost you 100 | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
billion euros to leave the EU and we have to agree to it before we even | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
know what we'll get it a future relationships. Both sides insist | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
they want a deal that something will have to give, so who is going to | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
blink first? Theresa May has said | :06:35. | :06:35. | |
she's "not a quitter", and repeated her pledge to lead | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
the Conservatives into Speaking in Japan, Mrs May said | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
the public wanted her She's supported by some | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
senior Conservatives, but others have questioned | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
whether she will still be Our correspondent Ben Wright | :06:47. | :06:48. | |
has been travelling His report contains flash | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
photography. They're two Prime Ministers in tune, | :06:53. | :07:00. | |
Shinzo Abe has rolled out a very warm welcome for Theresa May on this | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
three day trip. Whether Mrs May's reception will be | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
quite so generous when she gets back to Westminster is another matter, | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
after the surprised pledge to lead Britain and her party | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
into the next general election, I said I wasn't a quitter | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
and there's a long-term job to do. There's an important job to be done | :07:16. | :07:23. | |
in the United Kingdom. We stand at a really | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
critical time in the UK. This fighting talk comes only three | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
months after Mrs May called a snap election | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
and lost her party's majority. But, with Brexit negotiations | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
under way and no obvious rival in sight, most, | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
but not all, Tories seem willing We've made a decision, we want | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
Theresa May to get on with the job. It's critically important | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
for the country that we get I don't see any immediate change, | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
but I think it's unrealistic to plan on the assumption that Theresa May's | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
going to be fighting the next election as leader | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
of the Conservative Party. I don't think Theresa May will stand | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
down of her own accord, she would never to have a challenger | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
to go forward to her. -- she would need to have a | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
challenger. She's very resilient, | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
and she will be there for as long as the Conservative Party | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
want her to be. Given North Korea's latest missile | :08:22. | :08:23. | |
test over this island, defence was a focus of talks here, | :08:24. | :08:25. | |
as was Brexit, with Japan anxious to TRANSLATION: On Brexit, | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
we would like the impact We want predictability | :08:30. | :08:32. | |

so that a smooth Brexit It's the long-term issues of trade, | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
the consequences of Brexit, defence and security cooperation | :08:40. | :08:44. | |

strikingly blunt declaration about her own political future | :08:47. | :08:53. | |
that her trip to Japan The online gambling company 888.com | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
has been fined a record ?7.8 million for allowing vulnerable customers | :08:57. | :09:07. | |
to continue betting. The Gambling Commission found that, | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
due to a technical failure, customers who had excluded | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
themselves from playing were still able to access | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
their betting accounts, with one of them running up | :09:17. | :09:18. | |
debts of over ?1 million. The familiar numbers of one | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
of Britain's best-known gambling brands, handed a record-breaking | :09:23. | :09:30. | |
fine of nearly ?8 million for failing to protect thousands | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
of addicted customers who'd The most important thing that | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
gambling companies have to do They have to identify | :09:39. | :09:43. | |

into trouble and they need to take 888 failed to do that, which is why | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
we're imposing the penalty More than 7,000 customers | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
specifically asked 888 if they could be blocked | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
from using their sites. So the company did stop them | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
playing casino games, poker and from betting on sport but, | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
critically, they could still play bingo and over the course of a year | :10:06. | :10:10. | |

they're obliged to make sure that you can afford | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
to make the repayments. These are the sort of measures | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
that I would really like to see implemented | :11:11. | :11:12. | |
within the gambling industry. 888 says it accepts the conclusion | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
of the review and that it's committed to providing players | :11:17. | :11:20. | |

help to millions of people affected by devastating floods | :11:33. | :11:46. | |
across South Asia. More than 1,200 people | :11:47. | :11:47. | |
are believed to have died. It's thought to be the worst | :11:48. | :11:49. | |
monsoon season in decades, with nearly a million homes damaged | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
or destroyed in India, Weeks after the worst | :11:53. | :11:54. | |
flooding in decades, a third of Bangladesh | :11:55. | :12:02. | |
is still under water. Many villages in the northern part | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
of the country still cut off. Aid agencies are desperately trying | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
to reach those affected. It's a similar situation | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
across large parts of South Asia. The eastern Indian state of Bihar | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
has been hit the hardest. Heavy rain and overflowing rivers | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
have left large areas under water. More than 500 people have been | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
killed here in the past few weeks. Tens of thousands of people | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
have lost their homes, There's a lot of people | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
still out of their homes. People are surviving and getting | :12:32. | :12:40. | |
on with things as they can. And India's financial | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
capital Mumbai, a city of more than 20 million, | :12:45. | :12:46. | |
was brought to a standstill after torrential rain hit | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
the city on Wednesday. Transport services ground to a halt, | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
forcing many to simply wade home. We're in the middle of the annual | :12:54. | :13:00. | |
monsoon season and it's been raining intensely across India, | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
but also neighbouring Nepal and Bangladesh | :13:04. | :13:04. | |
for the past several weeks. It's caused the worst flooding | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
in decades and it's led to a massive humanitarian crisis | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
across the entire region. South Asia is not unused to floods, | :13:12. | :13:18. | |
especially at this time of the year, but the scale of the disaster this | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
time round has meant that the authorities | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
have struggled to cope. A chemical plant in Texas | :13:25. | :13:26. | |
which was flooded by Hurricane Harvey has caught fire, | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
and people living nearby are being told to leave | :13:34. | :13:35. | |
their homes immediately. In Houston, some residents have | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
returned to see the damage Several small explosions | :13:39. | :13:40. | |
have been reported Our North America correspondent, | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
James Cook, has been there. It is an unsettling sight, | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
a fire smouldering in the water. This plant makes organic peroxides | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
which must be kept cool, but when the hurricane hit, | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
the power failed and now They planned for this, | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
but not well enough. Police have a simple | :14:00. | :14:06. | |
message - get out, now. Already 15 officers have been | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
to hospital for checks amid fears Max Dellarosa's car was trapped | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
by the floods inside the danger zone, but he was told he had | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
to walk out. I guess something went on because | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
then I just heard the alarms. I was like, "oh, man, | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
it's so serious now." Then my mum was trying to get me, | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
my dad was trying to get me, I know they've got all kind | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
of chemicals and I just don't know which ones is in the water | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
and coming down into my house, it means I've got water | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
in the house right now. As specialist teams rolls in, | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
the messages coming out Reports of explosions | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
are now being denied. Federal officials say the smoke | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
is incredibly dangerous, This isn't a chemical release, | :14:52. | :14:54. | |

an irritant to your eyes or your The company which operates this | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
plant says there's only one thing to do now and that is to let this | :15:13. | :15:20. | |

are being warned to stay back In Houston, with the floods | :15:27. | :15:31. | |

is not stopping. The rain and the rescues | :15:56. | :16:03. | |
are continuing to the east, on the border between | :16:04. | :16:06. | |

the latest news at 6:30pm. Today is the deadline for working | :16:48. | :17:02. | |
parents of three and four-year-olds in England to apply for 30 hours | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
of free childcare a week. The extra costs will be paid | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
for by the taxpayer. Ministers say pilots have shown | :17:09. | :17:10. | |
nurseries are willing But a leading educational charity | :17:11. | :17:12. | |
is warning that the scheme is underfunded and some nurseries | :17:13. | :17:19. | |
will struggle to stay in business. Our Midlands Correspondent, | :17:20. | :17:21. | |
Sima Kotecha, reports. 30 hours of free childcare a week | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
for three and four-year-olds. It makes you feel more empowered | :17:28. | :17:35. | |
to actually go and work full time because you've got the help from | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
the Government for the 30 hours. It will just be beneficial | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
for parents that are trying We just want the minimal support | :17:42. | :17:43. | |
just so that we can work and it not More than 300,000 working families | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
are entitled to this childcare, which is double the number | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
of hours they used to get. However, some parents have told us | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
that ever since they've been able to sign up to the scheme, | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
there have been problems. At one point the Government's | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
website was not working properly and that stopped parents | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
from getting a code which is needed There have also been serious | :18:09. | :18:10. | |
concerns about how nurseries Here they are currently | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
getting ?3.97 per child Here they are currently | :18:16. | :18:23. | |
getting ?3.77 per child per hour from the state, | :18:24. | :18:25. | |
but say they need at least ?5.22 We cannot afford to | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
offer any totally free What we can do is offer | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
the subsidised element and round that up with charging | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
for meals and the extras that we provide here | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
like French and drama, I love playing with Lego, | :18:42. | :18:42. | |
building robots and animals. The Government says there | :18:43. | :18:55. | |
is a variation on what local authorities pay nurseries | :18:56. | :18:57. | |
in the area, but they are adamant the policy is having a positive | :18:58. | :18:59. | |
impact in places where it's There's ?1 billion per year | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
going into this by 2020 and we have put additional funding in, | :19:03. | :19:10. | |
in response to some of the nurseries Indeed, the fact we have piloted it | :19:11. | :19:12. | |
and delivered already 15,000 places I think bodes well for the 200,000 | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
parents who have signed up already But a survey out today | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
by an education charity suggests 40% of nurseries are worried | :19:22. | :19:31. | |
they will have to close down because they say the cash | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
they are given is not enough A man has appeared in court | :19:35. | :19:36. | |
after an incident near Buckingham Palace where three police | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
officers were injured. Mohiussunath Chowdhury, | :19:42. | :19:43. | |
who is 26 and from Luton, has been charged with planning | :19:44. | :19:45. | |
a terror attack. It's alleged he drove his car | :19:46. | :19:47. | |
at police officers before reaching He was remanded in custody | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
until later this month. The UK's record on protecting | :19:51. | :20:00. | |
the rights of disabled people has been criticised by a committee | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
of the United Nations. It's raised serious concerns | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
about the number of disabled people living in poverty and also | :20:07. | :20:08. | |
the effects of cuts The Government has responded | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
by saying the UK is "still a world leader" when it | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
comes to disability rights. Our Disability Affairs | :20:16. | :20:17. | |
Correspondent, Nikki Fox, reports. This day centre in Stockport as a | :20:18. | :20:32. | |
place where people with all kinds of disabilities can come to socialise | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
but many face barriers when it comes to living the life. Our biggest | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
problem is getting to work when I want to where I want to. If I want | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
to go somewhere I should be able to get there without thinking. I need | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
support to enable me to be independent. These barriers, which | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
are among the many others disabled people face, have been highlighted | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
by today's report from the United Nations. It warns the UK is going | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
backwards. It's the result of a widescale investigation looking at | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
the UK 's progress in implementing the UN convention on disabled | :21:10. | :21:11. | |
people's rights which the Government signed up to in 2009. In what was | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
the longest list of recommendations ever given to a member state, the | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
committee said the UK must improve on accessibility to public | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
buildings, transport and housing. Provide free or affordable legal aid | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
to improve access to the justice system. And to better support | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
disabled people to live independently. Half a million people | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
had reduced the benefits, the social protection entitlements in a way | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
that they were becoming desperate. There were people who committed | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
suicide because of that. What we had was evidence in front of us saying | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
people were pushed into work who were not fit for work. This is | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
April, she cannot live independently in her own home. Even if I could get | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
in because of the foot plates, you cannot get near. She needs support. | :22:04. | :22:13. | |
It is hard. To have to wee into a bottle in this day and age. April | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
used to be the chair of a charity and still would be now. Changes to | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
her care package have made it impossible for her to do anything | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
other than the very basics. I didn't ask to be like this, I don't want to | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
be a burden on society. All right, I'm not able to work but I still | :22:33. | :22:35. | |
want to be part of that society and do what I always used to do, and I | :22:36. | :22:38. | |
have been stopped doing that. Such a critical report does not paint a | :22:39. | :23:02. | |
good picture of disability rights in the UK, however the Government says | :23:03. | :23:04. | |
it doesn't accurately reflect the evidence it gave to the UN and says | :23:05. | :23:06. | |
it is disappointed the committee failed to realise the progress it | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
has made. But the UK Government will have to be back in Geneva in 12 | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
months to report on how the recommendations from the UN have | :23:13. | :23:14. | |
been implemented. Nikki Fox, BBC News. | :23:15. | :23:38. | |
Surrey's County Championship cricket match at the Oval against Middlesex | :23:39. | :23:40. | |
had to be abandoned this afternoon after someone fired a cross bow | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
The discovery prompted play to be suspended and sparked a security | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
alert which led to the match eventually being declared a draw | :23:48. | :23:49. | |
People have again been gathering at Kensington Palace | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
to pay their tributes to Diana, Princess of Wales, who died 20 years | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
Let's join our Royal Correspondent, Nicholas Witchell, who is there. | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
20 years on and it's clear Diana still matters to a good number of | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
people. It's a tiny fraction of course in terms of scale and | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
intensity compared to how it was 20 years ago but throughout the day a | :24:08. | :24:09. | |
stream of people have been coming here to put the flowers by the | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
gates. William and Harry were here yesterday, they spent the day in | :24:13. | :24:14. | |
privacy and the anniversary, this attention again poses the question | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
how much impact did Diana have on the monarchy. In truth I don't think | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
the reign of this particular monarch has been changed significantly. In | :24:23. | :24:24. | |
the immediate aftermath of Diana 's death, senior members were prepared | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
to be more open in the ways of doing things but the Queen is a product of | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
her background and generation, and we shouldn't forget that her | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
stoical, understated way of doing things, which was deemed to be | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
insufficient by many people immediately after Diana's death, has | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
been widely approved on many occasions since then. Where we do | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
see change is in William and Harry, they are Diana's legacy and the | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
style of doing things, which is accessible with emotional | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
engagement, which is dignified mostly, would appear to be the style | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
of monarchy that many people want for the future and that is down to | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
Diana in so many ways. Nick, thank you very much. | :25:05. | :25:07. | |
Now, it's the final day of the football transfer window. | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
13 Premier League clubs have already broken their transfer records. | :25:11. | :25:12. | |
Almost ?1.2 billion has been spent so far. | :25:13. | :25:14. | |
So why are clubs prepared to spend so much, | :25:15. | :25:16. | |
Our Sports Correspondent, Andy Swiss, reports. | :25:17. | :25:27. | |
This report contains some flash photography. | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
It has been a summer spending spree like no other. | :25:32. | :25:33. | |
Big names with even bigger price tags. | :25:34. | :25:35. | |
From Manchester to Chelsea, from Arsenal to Everton, | :25:36. | :25:37. | |
across the Premier League clubs have been splashing the cash | :25:38. | :25:39. | |
Among the early movers, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
swapping his Arsenal shirt for a Liverpool one | :25:44. | :25:45. | |
It has been a window of such mind-boggling numbers, | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
fans of the summer's biggest spenders say it's worth it. | :25:50. | :25:57. | |
That's why we pay the money, basically. | :25:58. | :26:00. | |
We want to see success, we want to win trophies. | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
Five summers ago, Premier League clubs spent just under half | :26:05. | :26:11. | |
Last summer the figure had more than doubled, but that record has | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
By this morning, clubs had spent more than 1.2 billion, | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
and by tonight's deadline it will be far more. | :26:20. | :26:22. | |
Well, a 50% increase in TV money, which brought last year's title | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
winners Chelsea some ?150 million, and some say the club's buying power | :26:28. | :26:29. | |
I think we have talked for the last 20 years | :26:30. | :26:39. | |
about the bubble potentially bursting, and it hasn't burst yet. | :26:40. | :26:42. | |
What will happen to football rights if an Amazon | :26:43. | :26:49. | |
a Netflix or a Google wish to acquire the rights? | :26:50. | :26:51. | |
You can't really predict that at the moment, but you would expect | :26:52. | :26:54. | |
that the value will go up even further. | :26:55. | :26:56. | |
The summer's most jaw-dropping transfer was in France - | :26:57. | :26:58. | |
Neymar's ?200 million move to Paris Saint-Germain, | :26:59. | :27:00. | |
but collectively it's the Premier League that | :27:01. | :27:01. | |
leads the pricing or, as some see it, the overpricing. | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
If ever there's a time to be a professional footballer, it's now. | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
Average pay is over 35 million, my goodness. | :27:10. | :27:11. | |
And tonight there could be more hefty numbers. | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
Manchester City offering 60 million for Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez. | :27:16. | :27:17. | |
Meteorologists say autumn starts tomorrow so for some it has been the | :27:18. | :27:34. | |
last day of summer and a bit more rain out there with big storms | :27:35. | :27:38. | |
around but also a splash of colour in the skies with rainbows. There | :27:39. | :27:42. | |
are still some thunderstorms across eastern parts of England but after | :27:43. | :27:46. | |
dark the storms and showers fade away quickly, and going into | :27:47. | :27:49. | |
September we have a chilly start because temperatures will dip away | :27:50. | :27:56. | |
under clear skies. Lower than this away from towns and city centres, | :27:57. | :28:01. | |
even low single figures in some and places. After the sunshine, showers | :28:02. | :28:11. | |
will break out but many places will avoid them and stay dry, that will | :28:12. | :28:16. | |
be the case across Scotland and much of Northern Ireland. Across northern | :28:17. | :28:22. | |
England there could still be some slow-moving thundery downpours but | :28:23. | :28:26. | |
even here there will be some places that stay dry. Looking into the west | :28:27. | :28:33. | |
and Wales, lots of dry weather to be found here and it is still | :28:34. | :28:36. | |
pleasantly warm when the sun makes an appearance. That's Friday for | :28:37. | :28:41. | |
you. Saturday is fine, but Sunday has rain coming in. | :28:42. | :28:45. | |
That's all from the BBC News at Six so it's goodbye from me, | :28:46. | :28:48. | |
and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are. | :28:49. | :28:50. |
