By storm harvey in texas. The former england captain wayne rooney has been charged with drink driving. He was stopped by police in cheshire in the early hours of this morning. Good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. The brexit secretary david davis says that he is adetermined optimist about britains withdrawal from the eu. His comments follows a warning from the International Trade secretary liam fox that brussels should not be allowed to blackmail the uk into accepting a brexit divorce bill. The eu insists issues arising from the uks withdrawal must be dealt with before any talks can begin about future trade relations. Our Political Correspondent iain watson reports. Liam fox exchanging a memorandum of understanding with japan on trade. But he isnt as delighted with the eu commission, she accused them of trying to exact a price for moving from the first stage of negotiations. We cant be blackmailed into paying a price on the first part, we think we should begin discussions on the final settle m e nt begin discussions on the final settlement because that is good for business. The issue is the divorce bill for leaving the eu. At a tetchy press c0 nfe re nce bill for leaving the eu. At a tetchy press conference yesterday the European Commission chief negotiated argue why did trade talks could begin only after britain gave an indication of how much it was willing to pay. Liam fox gave a whole series of broadcast interviews injapan but whole series of broadcast interviews in japan but only whole series of broadcast interviews injapan but only made the accusation of eu blackmail once, which suggests it wasnt a pre scripted attack. Nonetheless it could be a sign of frustration that the Government Strategy to put more pressure on the European Commission to deliver trade talks this autumn so to deliver trade talks this autumn so far hasnt succeeded. In washington today the brexit secretary admitted negotiations with the eu were tense, but he was hopeful progress would accelerate after german elections later this month. The conspicuously refused to repeat liam foxs allegation. never comment on other ministers views on things like this. Look, were ina views on things like this. Look, were in a difficult, tough, conjugated negotiation, isaid were in a difficult, tough, conjugated negotiation, i said from the beginning it will be turbulent. What we having at the moment is the first ripple. Some opposition politicians here believe liam fox is rather undiplomatic and his terminology could do serious harm is to relations between the eu and uk. Is language is intensely unhelpful. This is sabre rattling from a trade secretary who is twiddling his thumbs because he cannot do anything until the trade position of the uk has been resolved with the eu. But British Business leaders want to hear a lot less sabre rattling about brexit from all sides. This is politics, there will always be bluster, gameplaying by both sides. I think businesses would like to see both sides may be tone it down a little bit and get back to focusing on those issues which matter so much to both sides, particularly things like citizens rights, we really need movement on that quickly. This week the government focused on its trading relationship with japan but its future trade links across the channel is proving harder to negotiate. Our correspondent Gary Odonoghue is in washington. The difficulty for david davis if he cant talk much about trade because they havent got that far in the negotiations. Hes totally hamstrung. He is a bit. The rules interfere with the uks ability to start reaching out to other countries and doing those deals before it except the eu. He talked about that a bit. There are discussions going on, donald trump have acknowledged that himself. He said there will be a big trade deal with written. The thing hes been more cagey about and the thing that david davis and the rest of the uk government believes, there has to be liberalisation, deals on services, particularly on things like financial services. Donald trump has been very cool on that and today david davis took the opportunity not directly, but pretty clearly, urging the americans not to turn towards protectionism. Donald trumps america for strategy has been characterised as that. Threatening protectionism and threatening to cut off trade deals with countries because he thinks america is getting a poor deal. They are not same page on some things. On the same page for some things, far apart for other things too. American businessmen we re things too. American businessmen were asking questions, they wanted their minds put at rest about brexit and he couldnt give them the a nswe is and he couldnt give them the answers they wanted. We know about the trade between britain and the us, we know its big, britain is the single biggest investor in the us etc. £2 billion of trade per day, but the key thing here. 42,000 us businesses ship stuff to the uk and, of course, a lot of that, some of thatis of course, a lot of that, some of that is going to go through into the eu. They are really keen to find out if there is going to be any barrier between the uk and eu post brexit, thats what they really care about, because, you know, the dollop talks. If its going to cost them money, they will think about relocating as some of the banks have threatened to. The man who got the biggest laugh in the room was you, you asked whether he felt more welcome in washington or in brussels. Were never going to get a direct answer but there was much given away in what he didnt say. Yeah, i think thats right. Liam fox also gave a speech to the chamber of commerce. Bearin speech to the chamber of commerce. Bear in mind david davis wasntjust talking to the chamber of commerce today, he actually went on just after that you have a meeting with the deputy secretary of state and hes heading to detroit to see ford, i think, hes heading to detroit to see ford, ithink, in hes heading to detroit to see ford, i think, in the next few hours. He wa nts to i think, in the next few hours. He wants to reassure them, and its pa rt wants to reassure them, and its part of the same strategy you saw in japan with the Prime Minister etc, he wants to start reaching out to these places and demonstrate to the eu, look, we have friends in far flung places who are going to trade with us. Were not holding as wea k trade with us. Were not holding as weak a hand as you think. The private security company, g4s, has suspended nine employees following claims of abuse and assaults on detainees at an immigration centre. An undercover investigation by the bbcs Panorama Programme appears to show staff mocking, abusing and threatening violence against detainees at brook house, near Gatwick Airport. G4s says there is no place for the type of conduct described in the allegations, and that it has immediately begun an investigation. 0ur social Affairs Correspondent alison holt has the details. Just metres from the runway at Gatwick Airport is brook house, an Immigration Removal Centre run by the Global Security firm g4s. Here, Foreign National prisoners facing deportation at the end of their sentence are detained alongside asylum seekers, Illegal Migrants and those who have overstayed their visas. A secret world of drugs, violence and abuse. Undercover filming as part of a panorama investigation to be broadcast this monday alleges that some staff at brook house, mock, abuse and even assault detainees. It exposes a place awash with drugs, with self harm commonplace amongst the men held there. The company says its waiting to see the footage but has suspended nine staff and alerted the police. My initial reaction is absolutely disgusted by the alleged behaviour. Its totally unacceptable to me, to the organisation, to anyone else who would work in this kind of vocation. It is the home office that decides who is detained at centres like brook house, whilst their immigration case is decided. It says in a statement we condemn any action that is put the safety or dignity of Immigration Removal Centre detainees at risk. It also says that g4s needs to ensure there is a thorough investigation into the allegations at the centre and that it expects appropriate action. Our home Affairs Correspondent danny shaw is with me. 0n the face of it, pretty shocking allegations. It would appear to be very disturbing allegations and the action g force has taken even though it hasnt seen the footage, its been made aware of the claims in some detail, suggests they are very worried about it. Nine members of staff have been suspended, they include two managers at brook house. Six custody officers and one nurse, in addition five members of staff being placed on restricted duties. There is an internal investigation going on by g for s and i believe its going to conduct a wider review of the culture of these institutions that they run, notjust of the culture of these institutions that they run, not just the Immigration Removal Centre at brookhouse, they also run one at tinsley house close by. They run five prisons and oak hill secure training centre. I think the organisation feels it needs to look more deeply at the culture in the place. Is it embedding the right values and ethics in the staff who work there . We remember the runup to the olympics, their involvement in security for that. Are there wider implications . There are in terms of its contract to run brookhouse, it is run it since 2009. The contract expires next year. It is upfor the contract expires next year. It is up for renewal. G for s wants to renew the contract but faces competition from two other bidders as far as competition from two other bidders as farasi competition from two other bidders as far as i understand. The home 0ffice as far as i understand. The home office will decide. There will be great pressure on the home office not to re award that contracted g for s. Thatll be very interesting to see. In terms of the wider allegations, its reputation in the uk in terms of criminaljustice and Immigration Enforcement isnt great because of the series of scandals there have been. This is a huge global company, 400,000 people work for g for s. Its share price has been affected. When the bosses sit down and look at the big picture, theyll be saying, still making profits, winning 0k, theyll be saying, still making profits, winning ok, the share price is ok, we have to deal with this. That is the conundrum it faces. Contract given by the home office, what are they doing about it . The home office had already commissioned a review of immigration detention. A follow up to a report published last year and conducted by the former ombudsman steve shaw and that review sta rts ombudsman steve shaw and that review starts on monday. As part of the review he will be going to brookhouse to see what conditions are like. You can see the panorama documentary on monday evening on bbc one at 9pm. Nearly half of young, low paid parents are struggling to juggle childcare with work, according to a survey for the tuc. Researchers found that irregular hours were to blame, with many working parents feeling at the mercy of employers. Our Business Correspondent emma simpson reports. Hi, boys hi its the end of the day. Kierasjust got back from work, and all her kids are finally home, too. Show me ah, what does it do . a precious few minutes before they are off to bed. Kiera is self employed and works in it. She and her partner, from hertfordshire, earn between them less than £28,000 per year. Juggling childcare and work is a daily battle. I can be at home with my children, enjoying my life with them. When instead, im planning it around trains, hoping and praying that my train isnt late or delayed or cancelled. And then you look at your bank balance and you think, what did i do today . What have i really earned . Kieras experience isnt unique, judging by todays survey, conducted on behalf of the tuc. Nearly half of low paid young parents are struggling to manage work and childcare. 42 felt penalised at work when they asked for flexibility. Some were given fewer hours, or even lost theirjobs as a result. Nearly a third had resorted to taking annual leave to cover their child being sick. Achieving a good Work Life Balance can be hard for any parent. This survey highlights just how difficult it is for families on lower incomes, many of whom dont even know what their parental rights are. So, could and should employers do more . Employers can certainly do more to communicate the rights that people do have. I think government also has a role to play, to do more in that area as well. I think the broad issue around flexibility, in that quite a lot of flexibility can be quite exclusive. For example, home working quite often applies only to senior managers, for example. So employers really need to review their Flexible Working practices, be a bit more innovative about how they apply them. Up you go. Kieras shift pattern is regular, although she is still often working after the kids go to bed. The tuc wants everyone at work to get the same parental rights from day one. And to be made aware of them. Emma simpson, bbc news, hertfordshire. The headlines brexit secretary david davis says brexit will not lead to a race to the bottom in terms of standards.

The former england captain, wayne rooney, has been charged with drink driving. The everton striker was arrested shortly after two o clock this morning, after Police Stopped a black vw beetle in wilmslow, cheshire. Our sports news correspondent Richard Conway has more. Cheshire police say wayne rooney has been charged with driving over the prescribed limit. Officers say he was stopped at 2am on friday morning on altrincham road in the town of wilmslow in cheshire. Hes enjoyed a good start to the new season in the premier league, he moved from Manchester United to everton and scored in his opening two games. News of this arrest comes a week, over weeks he announced he announced he was retiring from international football. Hes been released on bail and is due to appear before Stockport Magistrates Court on september 18. The Supreme Court in kenya has overturned the result of the countrys president ial election because of irregularities in the way the vote was conducted. The ruling is being seen as a victory for the Opposition Leader and veteran politician raila odinga, who called it had to do with lack of transparency in the vote counting and transmissions. After people had gone to vote, the results started coming in, but the documents that we re coming in, but the documents that were supposed to accompany them to verify these results were legitimate, those documents were not being made public, thats what the opposition had a problem with. What does it mean for the Electoral Commission . At this moment the Electoral Commission is pretty much discredited because they have been trying to show they could hold this election in a transparent manner. All of that now is out of the window. Opinions on both sides of the political divide will be wondering whether they can have the next election in a transparent manner. The Electoral Commission says it is opening itself up for scrutiny and investigation to see whether any of its staff broke the law in this process. At the time of the result being announced, odinga was accused of being a sore loser. Indeed, at the time he even said he wouldnt go to the court, he didnt trust the court to give him fair hearing. Shortly after that his supporters took to the streets, there was a bit of violence. About 16 people were killed in different parts of the country. I think that pressure forced mr odinga and his party to go back to the court, now they have that ruling. I think he would be feeling like hes vindicated himself. The main question being asked is how can they make sure the next election is any more fair . A question a lot of people are asking right now. The spotlight is even brighter on the Electoral Commission. Kenyans will now be looking more closely at the whole process and hoping it goes well. One of the main problems kenny has had a history of, post election violence, the longer the process is prolonged, the more this tension is heightened. People will hope they can get past this as quickly and painlessly as possible. A mans been convicted of trying to rob the england and west ham footballer, andy carroll.
