news. the latest round of brexit talks ended in brussels, today, with both sides suggesting the other was to blame for the lack of progress. a major sticking point is the so—called divorce bill — the amount britain will have to pay as it leaves the eu. the eu's chief negotiator, michel barnier, said "no decisive progress" had been made on key issues. but the brexit secretary david davis warned that only "flexibility and imagination" would lead to a deal. from brussels, our europe editor katya adler reports. trust building between the two sides. that was not what the eu says this first phase of negotiations is about. so, by today, the end of round three of these first talks, how much trust is their? it is clear that the uk does not feel legally

obliged to honour its obligations after departure. how can we build trust, and start discussing the future relationship? for his part, david davis said the uk couldn't blindly trust the divorce bill, presented by the eu. we have a duty to our taxpayers to interrogate this position rigourously. behind the smart suits, the stiff smiles, it was clear that both sides were talking at cross purposes today about which topics to tackle in which order, and whether and how much progress is actually being made. and i repeat that phrase... david davis bede durbidge rigid, inflata ble david davis bede durbidge rigid, inflatable eu, while he argued...m is only through traceability and imagination that we will achieve a deal that was both sides. michel barnier system the uk had to be more

clear, and realistic, about a brexit deal. the eu couldn't show flexibility, he said, if the uk didn't it sad. translation: i am not frustrated, but i am impatient. where does that leave us? we know that brexit will have a big impact on our lives, but just how huge will depend of the nature of a transition deal, and a permanent trade deal between the eu and the uk. we are nowhere near that yet, and all the steel—making could fall apart. although there is no need to panic just fall apart. although there is no need to panicjust yet. —— deal making. where are we on the three core issues? both sides agree reassuring eu citizens in the uk and uk citizens in the eu is a top priority. they disagree, still, whether the european court of justice should have a role in

guaranteeing the rights of individuals. on ireland, progress has been made especially around protecting the common travel area. but the so—called divorce bill is the biggest sticking point right now. the eu wants the uk to pay up to 100 billion eu's end what it sees as financial obligations the uk agreed to while it was a member. the uk says no, it will pay something, but refuses to specify. these brexit talks have been largely technical. political pressure to push for progress is unlikely to come from the uk or the eu until after the conservative party conference or the german elections next month. meanwhile, as the eu likes to repeat, the clock to the end of the uk's membership is ticking. in the last few minutes, the transfer window for premier league has closed in england with clubs spending more than £1.2 billion on top players.
