this is bbc news. the headlines at 2pm: after four days of talks, brussels and the uk still have fundamental disagreements about citizens — the eu chief negotiator says the uk must clarify their position on a number of issues. the first round was about organisation, this week was about presentation, the third round must be about clarification. brexit secretary david davis said the talks had been robust — but there's a lot to be positive about. david davis says they have found some agreements. but there is big disagreement over the role of the

european court of human rights. also coming up this hour: there's been a 10 percent rise in recorded crime in england and wales — the largest annual increase for a decade. some of donald trump's inner circle will be questioned by two us congressional committees investigating allegations of russian interference in the presidential election. one in three cases of dementia could be prevented — if people look after their brain throughout their life, according to new research. and it's william vs kate, as the duke and duchess go ahead to head in a boat each during their royal visit in germany. brexit negotiators have been outlining what progress has been made so far in the latest round of talks between the uk and the eu. the brexit secretary david davis and the eu's michel barnier gave a statement a short while ago

after four days of talks. key discussion points have included citizen's rights, the irish border and separation issues, including uk financial liabilities. 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. translation: 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 ofjustice 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. christian fraser is in brussels for us christian fraser is in brussels for us and can tell us what is really going on. they are having lunch this afternoon. they have gone to the

residents of the uk ambassador. they are having welsh lamb and scottish scallops. i'm not sure whether it will be french wine or a english sparkling wine. on the issue of the two men, what you think? the car they get on, but at these press conferences they get on, but at these press c0 nfe re nces you they get on, but at these press conferences you get this element of him saying that britain need to pull their socks up. they have known each other for many years. they are united by political confidence. they sit opposite each other at the negotiating table and i think you could feel michel barnier's frustration, just in his first statement. 56 minutes long foster six times he said we need more clarification from united kingdom. we heard that in english and french

during question time. the eu is feeling frustrated. david davis appeared more relaxed. he felt good progress had been made. the frustration for michel barnier is that we have not put forward a proposal. the uk side have said in their briefings this week, hang on, their briefings this week, hang on, the eu have put forward all sorts of numbers. we need some figures from you so numbers. we need some figures from you so we can numbers. we need some figures from you so we can respond. that is fair enough, isn't it? the numbers have all come from the press and think tanks so far. everyone has been doing their own sums. work out what financial liabilities the uk has when it leaves the eu, but not come up when it leaves the eu, but not come up witha when it leaves the eu, but not come up with a final figure until the end of negotiations. before we can move to the important stage two of

negotiations, when the eu and uk sit down to talk about our future relationship which includes trade but also when we work together on security, it includes talking about whether there will be transition processes in place when they leave the eu. for me get there, the eu says we need to make substantial process on divorce issues, including finances. the figure will not come now and it is about methodology. the uk examined a massive list of supported liabilities from the eu where it says when really we will still where it says when really we will st i ll owe where it says when really we will still owe them money, for example the eu as a multi—annual budget, not just for one year, but stretching up to 2020. it says to the uk, you promised to give us money for these projects. somehow started, people are waiting and so forth. that is what it is calling financial liabilities. we call it the brexit bell. obviously both sides will have

to give way. it isjust bell. obviously both sides will have to give way. it is just who bell. obviously both sides will have to give way. it isjust who blinks first. we have spoken about brexit for so long, you and i, but these are only the second round of face—to—face talks. we can't really expect too much process if you're going to uphold the rights of the europeans, you have to have eu case law. you can see from the british side by that would be a problem. what outside court has jurisdiction over a sovereign country? 3 million people, their children and their children's children. i thought your question was interesting. where is the point where they are going to compromise? i see a big problem with the european court ofjustice. this seems to be a red line for both sides. the uk says we cannot be

ruled by a foreign court. the european court cannot have supremacy over british law. and the eu says we are talking about eu citizens who reside in the uk. we have to be able to look after their rights because we cannot guarantee the united kingdom will always honour their rights. they will go back and forth on this for a long time to come. i don't really see with a compromise lies at this stage. norway, with tim sign and iceland are except the jurisdiction of the ec], but the uk doesn't want that at the moment. it wants to be rid of ec] jurisdiction. brussels is known for doing deals at the 11th hour, but if they wait until the 11th hour, the talks cannot progress. stick on the ec] now, how do we move forward? those two men knew that today and they know they will have to work hard

behind the scenes to find some kind of compromise, but i'm not sure where. interesting discussions. they will occupy us for days, weeks, months, perhaps years. over lunch, not only talking about some of the insurmountable but also the future plan. they comeback together in august for around three. an awful lot to discuss. thank you. the latest crime figures for england and wales show there was a 10% increase in offences reported to the police for the year to the end of march. violent crimes were up 18%, while robberies increased by 16%. we spoke with the home office minister nick hurd a little earlier. there has been a worrying increase

in violent crime which we have known about for a while. were determined to stay on top of that, which is why we publish new laws to ban the use of zombie knaves and tougher sentences to make it harder for young people to buy knives online. but police are being more proactive in terms of enforcement. just recently, operation inspector led to 1200 seizures of knives in one week and 300 arrests. is a concerted effort by the police and government to bear down on emerging crime. our home affairs correspondent danny shaw is here. there are quite a few things that stand out. what really stands out is almost across the board in terms of crimes recorded by police, we are seeing increases. this is not a blip, it is something we have been seeing quarter on

quarter for the past couple of years. if you look for example at viole nt couple of years. if you look for example at violent crime, we are seeing an18% example at violent crime, we are seeing an 18% rise in offences of violence against a person. a significant increase. one of the subcategories is knife crime. that isa subcategories is knife crime. that is a 20% increase in offences. you will have to take our word for that! it is up. some areas like london and other cities are more affected by this. and also traditional crimes we thought were on the decline, burglary and car crime, by 11%. crimes people thought had flattened out and were being replaced by online fraud, which is still increasing, but now we see traditional crinkle up as well. some of that can be explained by improvements in the way we record

crimes. consistent processes. but some of it is genuine. experts at the office for national statistics are saying this is genuine increases. is there a correlation? we're looking at the wallace number of police officers in this country since 1985. the police federation for england and wales are saying there is a correlation. they warned that if you keep on cutting and cutting you will see increases in crime. it's very difficult to see whether there really is a correlation between falling numbers of police officers. 123,400 now. the lowest level we home office tells us since 1985. numbers have been falling for a while. crime was also falling. but the key issue is that this will strengthen police arguments for saying enough is enough. we need extra resources now to boost our numbers on the front

line, to tackle increases in crime. it will strengthen their hand in that respect. danny, ever, thank you. the headlines: the brexit secretary david davis and michel barnier have outlined progress in the latest round of talks. they say there are still fundamental disagreements over citizens rights. there has been a 10% rise in recorded crime in england and will, the largest annual increase for a decade. one in three cases of dementia could be prevented if people look after their brain health, according to new research. more ina health, according to new research. more in a moment. in sport, jordan spieth leads open. the american is five under playing the last in his first round at royal birkdale. ian poulter is in contention. three under par gives poulter is in contention. three under pargives in poulter is in contention. three under par gives in the clubhouse lead on a blustery day one. rory mcilroy will be starting in the next

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. she speaks spanish. 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. 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 as a child and secondary school. do not smoke, try not to be obese, try to be active.

these things can make a difference. alzheimer's accounts for about two thirds of dementia cases. there is still no drug that can slow the progress. the alzheimer's society says dementia is set to be the 21st—century‘s biggest killer. we all need to be aware of the risks and start making positive lifestyle changes. with the narrowest doctor david reynolds, chief scientific officer at alzheimer's research uk. we have done an overview and looked at the factors in life that could be affecting the risk of getting dementia later on. and whether we can do anything about that. people might raise an eyebrow at social isolation and hearing loss. what is the evidence for that? the hearing loss finding is quite new. it's something we haven't looked at that much in the past. this study shows that hearing loss is very common,

particularly over 55 years of age. it can have a marked impact and suggests trying to treat hearing loss more effectively perhaps through rigorous use of hearing aid could be beneficial for through rigorous use of hearing aid could be beneficialfor people. through rigorous use of hearing aid could be beneficial for people. that would explain social isolation because one tends to deal to the other. it could be that hearing loss could be affected by the same processes . could be affected by the same processes. for a third of potential sufferers, there is something you can do. buffer to 30 can. the other two thirds, we know the biggest risk factor is getting older and we can't do anything about that. other factors do anything about that. other fa cto rs ca n do anything about that. other factors can play a part, like genetics. other factors that we just don't know what it causes. it shows we really need to have good medicines available for treatment and prevention. on the third of those cases people alter their lifestyle to avoid. high blood

pressure is perhaps a bigger issue than people thought? high blood pressure can lead to heart attack and stroke. it has previously been linked to dementia. but i think perhaps the thing for the study as it is high blood pressure in the midlife, 45—65, can have the biggest impact. are we getting there? we are making progress. as we understand more about what keeps us healthy, people can decide whether they can do some of those things or not. i think the key message from this as we need to try to look after our brains as well as the rest of our body. keep our brain active and avoid the risk of dementia. david, thank you very much. ten years ago, torrential summer downpours left large parts

of the country underwater, as the rain was followed by widespread flooding. 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 in worcestershire. it was a day that no one who lived through it will ever forget. the ground was already saturated and itjust didn't stop raining. every ditch, brook, stream and road was flooded for 30 miles in every direction. people couldn't get home. families were split up and the emergency services were stretched to breaking point. 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 else to give out. everything we had was out on the ground. every officer, every fire engine, every firefighter, was out doing something in regards to flooding. 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. but ten years ago, it wasn't. in upton—upon—severn, temporary flood barriers were stuck elsewhere and its historic waterfront went underwater. now the town has permanent defences. 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. but ten years ago, it wasn't. 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. now the town has permanent defences.

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, fire and local authorities. and the way we issue flood warnings. 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. the amount parents pay for holiday childcare in britain has risen to an average of £124 a week. that's according to the family and childcare trust, which has also found that there's a lack of places in many parts of the country. as part of our day of bbc coverage, who cares, sean farrington has been finding out how families are coping this summer. it is now holiday time for these kids. no more classes and a bit more fun. but for many parents out there, the big game for the coming weeks will be juggling who looks after their children while they head off to work. it is still worth me working and building my career and building my business, definitely, but it is a significant cost. it's my choice to work, but my child care costs are as much as my mortgage every month. the costs are rising. the family and childcare trust say prices are on average

up 4% on last year. that works out at around £124 a week during the holidays. the charity is also worried about the lack of availability of childcare in some areas. only one in four local areas in england have enough childcare for working parents, and we'll see that some groups are particularly hard hit, there are particular shortages. so only one in eight local areas have enough childcare for disabled children, and there are also big shortages for 12 to 14—year—olds. the government say they are doing more than ever before in this area, extending free childcare for three and four—year—olds, rolling out a tax—free scheme. while some businesses are taking matters into their own hands and making life a little easier for working parents. at this tech company, parents are allowed to bring their kids into the office and use the creche to help them navigate some of their childcare challenges. it's really about the well—being side of your employees and making sure that is looked after, because what we've found

is if you look after that side of an employee, they can then focus and do a really great job at what they are brilliant at in their professional life. there are lots of businesses, though, that can't provide that help, leaving lots of parents to draw on friends, family and holiday clubs like these, until term time starts again. concerns have been raised about the number of adult mental health patients being held in locked rehabilitation wards in england. the care quality commission says a significant number of the 3500 people being kept in these conditions could be living with fewer restrictions. our health reporter smitha mundasad has more. geoff clark spent years locked in psychiatric rehabilitation units after developing schizophrenia. i was there 11 years and it was very, very boring. not a lot to do. people i didn't get on with. things like that. not a very pleasant place to be. he's now back in his community, close to home. but more than 50 years

on from the movement to abolish asylums, england's health regulator is worried too many patients still risk being institutionalised on more modern locked rehabilitation wards. the report is clear for mental health care in the 21st century that a hospital should not be considered a home. quite a high proportion of people in these services could and should be moved back to be much closer to home and be cared for in settings, in residential settings, that provide much more independence. and cqc inspectors say safety is another major concern. they rated about a third of services as needing improvement, and one in 20 were deemed inadequate. their report says old buildings with blindspots that make it harder to monitor patients, and a shortage of nursing staff, could leave people at risk. it raises big questions

about the system and what's happening in the system. is there enough money in there? do we have the right kind of people able to deliver the care? it also says something about the culture of what's happening in individual settings, the right leadership, are people involved in their own care, are people supported and trained in such a way they can deliver that care. deliver that care? but the coc praises staff for being caring and treating people with dignity and respect at the vast majority of trusts. nhs england says big steps have been made in improving mental health services, with more money going into the system. but it agrees there is still more work to be done. it was once the preserve of spy thrillers, but using an iris scan as a way of accessing your money is now a reality — and tsb has become the first bank in europe to adopt the technology. it's one of the latest biometric methods being used to give customers simpler ways to access their accounts. but how safe is it?

our technology correspondent rory cellan—jones reports. from september, your eyes could be your password into your bank account. we will show you how to register your iris. tsb customers will need an advanced samsung smartphone to try out the iris scanning technology. you set it up by getting the phone's camera to scan your eyes. then, if you want to log onto your bank account, you just need to glance at the screen. and because it's looking at 266 different characteristics of your eye... let's just check. can you get in, using your eyes? ..it won't work if someone else takes a look. it's extremely fast. it takes less than a second to get into it. it is extremely secure. and there's nothing more convenient than looking at the screen of your smartphone. you don't have to do anything special. we all know about the complexities of getting into your online accounts, remembering all sorts of passwords, fiddling about with little devices like this. so could biometrics, which depend on something unique about you, be a simple and secure answer?

facial recognition and retina scanning are used at passport control in various countries, and fingerprint scanning on smartphones has taken off as a means of paying for anything from a coffee to a bus ticket. but even those promoting biometrics admit that consumers have two big concerns. privacy, and the security of the technology, whether it can be spoofed. if we get that right and put the right processes in place, i think the convenience that biometrics offers will create a fantastic customer experience. german hackers claimed they'd fooled samsung's iris scanner with a high—definition photo. but the phone maker and tsb insist it's very unlikely that anybody would have both phone and the photo needed to beat the system. on another road of flooding afraid

to lancashire and north wales. the flooding was caused by massive storms feeding on the very humid moist air we had across the country. the humidity has been swept away behind a cold front. although there are still a few downpours left over across the far north—east of england and scotland, sunny spells breaking out for most of us. heading through the night, we start to see the winds pick up overnight as a band of rain extends into northern england, wales and the south—west. quite a mild might. temperatures stay into double figuresjust might. temperatures stay into double figures just about everywhere. tomorrow, some miserable weatherfor northern ireland, wales and south—west england. but some decent

weather further north. that is your latest weather. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: the eu's chief negotiator michel barnier has said that more clarity is needed on the uk‘s position on several issues, as brexit negotiations get underway. there's been a 10% rise in recorded crime in england and wales — the largest annual increase for a decade. members of dalton‘s in a circle will be investigated for allegations of intervening in the russian election‘s us election. and it's william versus kate as the duke and duchess take to the water to go head to head in a boat race in germany — with william taking first place. i thought we had a big story there. i've read that they had had a row. hello from the bbc sport centre.

to pay in the first place. no nation state has ever left the european union before, so think of this as the first divorce in european history. how can else would a debt be paid? there was a state to parliament last thursday that the uk has obligations from ecu membership, which may have helped soothe the light from europe's chief negotiator after foreign secretary boris johnson said brussels should go whistle for the money. the sunset i have seen that the proposed a demand for this country seem to me to be exported, and i think to go whistle would be an entirely appropriate expression. i don't hear any whistling, just a clock ticking. so, how much does the ee want? the chief negotiator has never publicly put a number on the ukip eyes exit bell,

but unofficial estimates have ranged widely, from £18 billion to £88 billion. so how would that break down? what did the eu suggest the uk's obligations maybe? the largest might be for road, rail and other infrastructure projects the uk has committed to. then there are investment projects in less—developed areas. there are 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 will be tough, expect at least equal travellers from the eu said. let's ta ke travellers from the eu said. let's take a look at this timeline for the negotiations. the background as scheduled, for august, september and october. then at a summit in

brussels, the leaders will assess progress. the eu will decide that it is only after enough progress has been made, including an money, that they will allow formal discussion to begin on britain's post brexit relationships with the eu, including critically on trade. there is no precedent to rely on, so expect no clarity until everything is settled. meanwhile the international trade secretary, liam fox has suggested getting out of the european union and freeing britain up to negotiate new trade deals with the rest of the world could take a further two years following the official date of exit in march 2019. dr fox was speaking to the bbc during a visit to the world trade organisation in geneva. we are going to leave in march 20 19. i believe it is the right course, and we are going to leave. but if we can do it anywhere that

minimises our revised strapped into businesses, that provides at the greatest amount of certainty and stability, then that is clearly a sensible thing to do. if there is a limitation placed between as leaving the european union and whatever arrangement we will have the ee, i don't have a problem with that. there is not ideological barrier to that. everybody a purely practical decision on time, based on could be put new custom arrangements in place, they won't happen overnight. frankly, i been reporting to the european union for a long time, another two years wouldn't be too much to ask. let's speak now to the liberal democrat brexit spokesperson for brexit, tom brake. he's in our westminster studio. let's just packed up that last point. does that surprise you? i think their penny has finally dropped even with the fox at what they brexiteers have presented as a sample chip barbir process that

could be completed within a couple of years, now they realise that there's probably going to be a couple of years on top of that, and that might be an underestimate. i am not surprised that they have finally realised this is not straightforward. just talking about the divorce element. the money that britain is expected to pay. do you think any money will be odd? yes, i think any money will be odd? yes, i think it will be. i think another penny has dropped. whilst article 50 may not say anything about the uk not having to say pay anything, and practice, the uk has signed up to a lot of projects and that is a contractual arrangement the uk has signed up to, so i think there will bea signed up to, so i think there will be a settlement as part of that, and i think that will come as a shock to many people who did not have those flags up to them during year referendum campaign. the uk has contributed over the years to many

buildings and other things, physical things that will effectively be handed back to the eu. well be get money back for that? i'm sure that will be part of the negotiation process as well. there are many uk citizens who work for the eu who will need to have their pensions paid in the future, and again that this something that would appeared on the eu side of the equation, so these negotiations that are going to be incredibly tough, and it is very disappointing that at this stage, really, it would seem that is the lack of fundamental starting edges of the debate, while it is the eu citizen's rights, the irish border are the settlement, that they don't seem to be that much farther forward. let me pick up mindset isn'ts' rights. this seems to be a particular problem with the role of the european court ofjustice. this seems to be no compromise between the two sides. i'm just wondering if

you could come up with one? i'm not sure there should be a compromise, because those eu citizens who are now living in the uk, some who have been here 20, 30, 40 years, when they arrived they thought they were going to be guaranteed, because our membership of the eu stood right. they could argue with some gusts jabs justification that at some point in the future, whatever the present government says, another government may take a different approach. what i suspect the government is going to try and find some arrangement which in some respects with end up shadowing ee cj, thought we would have any effect is very similar process, but simply involving a new body, the bulk of the cost would have to fall on the united kingdom. the eu's problem with that is that down the road if

british government could easily change the rules behind that, and thatis change the rules behind that, and that is what they are afraid. that is why it is, and to have to be a joint body which would pick up some of the responsibilities, and perhaps something that the supreme court here would have responsibility for, and they may have to come to a joint decision. i think whatever way you look at this, for the uk, the end of this process will be additional costs associated with managing something which meant we were and the european union, because marriages. on the basis that what the andy king at the knees and national discussions are so fundamental that there is no progress on all of them, effectively detoxed all, what is going to happen? that, i suppose, as white, rather alarmingly, some ministers are still considering that crashing out of the european union, falling back on wto rules, something that

france has talked about again, as a viable option will stop by falling back on diesels, another other wards and reducing tariffs on our goods would lead to i suggest huge amount of congestion at every single port and a huge destruction to the british economy, so suggesting that falling back on the wto is a sensible approach is appalling. thank you very much. the us, it is up to investigate donald trump junior and paul manafort. jared kushner will face questions on monday. our correspondent gives us the latest from washington. eddie ‘s russia on

the front pages where it has been for six months for the president. he will be questioned in private by one of the committees up the hell, so we won't necessarily hear what jared kushner says unless people start talking, but they will want to talk to him particular about this night and from this meeting last year with and from this meeting last year with a russian lawyer who was supposedly offering some dirt on hilary clinton, timed out not to be useful, apparently, they want to ask for that back. they'll also want to ask him about allegations that he was trying to set up weekend back channel to russia, to the kremlin, during transition for donald trump, before he became president, using russian equipment, because he didn't ask, because the trump team didn't trust the american intelligence

services. they'll also want to talk to him about his meetings with various russian banks around the same time as well. there is an off a lot to deal with the for the trump family. in a moment, a summary of the business news this hour but first, the headlines on bbc news. david davis and the eu's michel barnett said there is progress made in the latest round of talks but said there is still fundamental disagreements over citizen's rise. there's been a 10% rise in recorded crime in england and wales, the largest annual rise for a decade. new research suggests one in three cases of dementia could be prevented if people looked after their brain's health. summer holidays are just around the corner — but parents face higher childcare costs than ever. on average — almost £750 per child over the full six week holiday. it's putting pressure on families already facing higher prices and meagre wage rises.

we'll find out how parents are coping. profits at sports direct have plummeted nearly 60%. underlying pre—tax profit fell to £113.7 million — that's less than half what they made last year. the retailer says it's because of the weaker pound — which means it costs more to import goods from abroad. chief executive mike ashley said it had now taken steps to "minimise the short—term impact of currency volatility". the warm weather injune got us out spending in the shops. official stats show that uk retail sales were better than expected last month. the amount of stuff we bought was up 0.6% compared with may. there was a boost from higher sales of summer clothing, shoes and household goods. the amount of money we spent on goods was also up by 0.4%. school's will all soon be out for the summer — but as temperatures rise — so too does the cost of holiday childcare. the family and childcare trust has

given the bbc exclusive access to figures that showjust how much of a squeeze holiday care puts on family finances. since last year, the average cost has risen by 4%. so for one child, it's £124 per week of childcare. many families will struggle to afford that — especially as cheaper, council—run options are hard to find. so how do parents juggle that with work? down in abingdon, our south of england business correspondent — alastair fee — is at a tech camp where children get to explore robotics, game design and much more. thank you. you join me this afternoon at one of the more interesting and unusual ways to keep belgian occupied during the summer months. this attack camp. children come here for a date or a week, and the emphasis is on learning new

skills but also having fun. the summer term maybe coming to an end, but in abingdon stumble doing in class. willian encoding, where playing with gadgets and having fun at the same time. you have fun, you meet people and you do things you enjoy. they can takes people aged nine to 17, adding to the mix of summer childcare options. i'm here to help them figure out the chords and figure out the wiring to make their gadgets. what can be a difficult time for parents, the children are learning and being looked after. but by that it is run by the public or private, summer childcare is in short supply, and it is not cheap. a lot of challenging year and ride scheme where they are provisionally paid for using childcare vouchers, but we are actively looking for businesses to

help out and sponsored children as well. for the most part, this is how many children will be kept entertained. run by local authorities, it is cheap and but often oversubscribed. it can be a real big headache. if you really wa nt real big headache. if you really want the stuff that you want to get, it isa want the stuff that you want to get, it is a case of picking well in advance. tech camps are giving children the chance to take part in activities they might not otherwise access, but these kids are in a minority. many families are likely to struggle to find options this summer that fit with their working lives and their budgets. let's find out what some of the children are doing here. i've just out what some of the children are doing here. i'vejust finished building a mid—late, and then putting the finishing touches to my keypad. the mood light uses an led

strap which is something we have just been introduced to. thank you so much and enjoy the rest of your time here. other tech camps are springing up across the uk, but this isa springing up across the uk, but this is a farce. this is a director. —— this is the first. we teach things like programming and causing, but any physical weight so that children can build up robot and take it on. we have seen a lot of entries and both in skills in the curriculum and with parents. at £120 net they, it is out of many peoples budget, tell mea is out of many peoples budget, tell me a little bit more about the support to offer. there are quite a small organisation, so we are a little bit limited in what we can do, but we have partnered up with a number of charities which have very

generously helped a number of children who can help from this course. what are the options are scaling up this type of childcare? we have heard that it is in short supply in both sectors? we would love to scale it up more, i guess it is difficult. we have very high cost. nationally, we would love to work with the bigger organisations that share some of our interest in teaching young people about technology, and maybe together define some places for situations like this. let's touch a little bit on the skill shortage. we are hearing a great deal about that from many of the businesses, certainly in the south of england. can sensibly plug that gap? we would certainly like to think so. some of the children here are building great gadgets. they are working at the sort of level you wouldn't see outside the university level of organisation. schools a very limited

in what they can do during their limited curriculum time and also they do not have the resources are available. a holiday thing like this can certainly help. thank you very much. i should can certainly help. thank you very much. ishould point can certainly help. thank you very much. i should point out that some of the tutors teaching here today actually attended as children, so perhaps some of the kids you see here before me may well be the technical engineers of the future. we're looking at the cost of summer holiday childcare across the bbc all day today. find out more at bbc.co.uk/business or follow the conversation on social media using the hashtag #childcare. later today the famous spanish surrealist artist salvador dali will be controversially exhumed to settle a paternity claim made by a catalonian tarot card reader. our arts editor will gompertz has been to visit the crypt at dali's theatre museum in figurers, where the artist

has rested in peace since his death in 1989 in the mid—1960s, this was an abandoned theatre that salvador dali, a local artist, identified as the perfect place to show off his artworks. but notjust that, to create the ultimate dali experience, which he ended up liking so much he decided to be buried here. so, when he died in 1989, his body was embalmed, placed in a coffin, and he was buried here in this crypt just beneath the old stage. but this memorial stone will not be disturbed for the exhumation, it has been decided the best place to access the space is from above. this is the entry point, 1.5 tonnes of unmarked stone, a door in the floor, which will be eased aside, the coffin will be opened, and a sample of the remains will be taken. it's reckoned the process will take all night. the duke and duchess of cambridge

have any better ones, and i was eight weeks. time for a look at the weather. this was just one of the pictures of the floodwaters that we have. the flooding was partly driven by bassett thunderstorms that was fed by the humid air. today, that humidity has been swept away behind those cold front. the area stunning significantly fresher. although conditions are still humid in the east of the native kingdom, that humidity is eating away along with the rent. we will get some sunshine this afternoon. with the sunshine, it should feel reasonably pleasant. there will be a number of thundery shower was working and in northern ireland. for the golfers, a reasonable day to day, but the weather taking a downhill time tonight. showers into the weekend.

the third round must be about clarification. brexit secretary david davis said the talks had been robust — but there's a lot to be positive about. we conducted this round positively and at pace. now i hope this is a model we can continue going forward. to coin the phrase michel, the clock is ticking. i'm christian fraser in brussels with reaction as the second round of talks draws to a close. also coming up this hour: there's been a 10% rise in recorded crime in england and wales — the largest annual
