one we take its really seriously. has absolutely nothing to do with any negotiations inside the house of commons. let me on this pointjust reaffirm the fact that we have begun at the highest level. the british promise's adviser, my deputy in these negotiations. i think this shows its own right we put on this issue. given the range of the technical issues at stake, i think it is very much justified issues at stake, i think it is very muchjustified in our issues at stake, i think it is very much justified in our dialogue. issues at stake, i think it is very muchjustified in our dialogue. the dialogue should indeed represent a safeguard to all concerned. we are very much consisted to this as a priority. i won't pick up on but the political discussion within the united kingdom is of course very interesting. it is not the only one i follow, it is one i follow closely of course. i have known david davis for quite some time. in fact, we go back to 1995. european affairs ministers in the united kingdom and france. i can come back to that some other day. i am working with the british government and its official representative with david davis. that is what i can say apart. —— for my part. i would like to ask you if you have found an agreement on the information policy that we will see here in the next month, you know that the european citizens had concerns not to be well—informed about what they have seen by the trade negotiations in united states and canada. we have set new standards here. could you tell us how will you do that work? will you give us orally information after every round of negotiations here? will you publish the documents? how will that work? what role with the european parliament play translation: we can each reply to that in our respective ways. everyone is free to respond as they wish. but from my personal point of view, our intention is to be fully transparent in a completely unusual way because this is an unusual negotiation, an extraordinary negotiation. because of its exceptional by mention we intend to have as broad and as open debate is possible to make everybody‘s live, including yours, yours, easier. you have a concrete example of what we might meana have a concrete example of what we might mean a couple of days ago when we immediately published position papers on financial settlements and citizens' writes. i intend to go on doing so. i prefer transparency to lea ks. doing so. i prefer transparency to leaks. you doing so. i prefer transparency to lea ks. you of doing so. i prefer transparency to leaks. you of course are all free as journalists but we altogether have to understand this is an exceptional negotiation of huge interest to a lot of people everywhere, going round the 27 member states for the second time, meeting heads of government, the business community, both sides of industry, trade unions, and everywhere i find great awareness of the possibilities and theissues awareness of the possibilities and the issues at stake. a public date for me is very important. it is not something we want to take a passive attitude towards. we want to be proactive. that is how we see transparency. during the course of the last ten months the uk parliament has questioned the government quite properly in great detail on what its aims should be, oi'i detail on what its aims should be, on what it's negotiating strategy should be, where it is going to take the country. i and the prime minister have given undertakings to ensure that we are as transparent as possible, consistent with normal negotiation, more transparent than any other negotiations in modern history. i think we are in the same place and we take the same view as michel barnier on this. we want to see the public informed in its widest sense, parliamentarians, the general public, business, trade unions, civic society, all informed bya unions, civic society, all informed by a proactive publication of what we are doing, not by leaks or erroneous briefings. go ahead. the daily telegraph. mr davies coming you said about the working group on financial settlement and you said not long ago that the fight over sequencing would be the fight of the summer, but the terms of reference make no reference to trade or to the future relationship. have you given up future relationship. have you given up the argument? have you lost the argument? to michel barnier, can you tell us anywhere in these negotiations where you feel you have made a concession to the brits? let me read you the section from the article 50 letter the prime minister road. we will need to discuss how we determine a fair settlement to the united kingdom with rights and obligations in accordance to the law and the spirit of the united kingdom's continuing partnership, but we need to agree the terms of our future department alongside the withdrawal of the european union. when we get to the point that the council decides we have made such progress, both sets of dialogue will continue, including free trade, obviously customs, security, cooperation in all sorts of ways. they were all continue once we get to that point. translation: i would like to confirm what david has just said about the two stages. they are clearly defined within my mandate and they make sense really. they are logical. we need to remain calm. we are talking about an orderly withdrawal first and that makes sense, it is common sense. it is not just something we are asking for in order to get concessions. it is just the direct consequence of the united kingdom's decision. once we have made sufficient progress, and it has to be sufficient, concrete progress, i will be the first to assume my responsibility and asked the european council to open the negotiations on scope in parallel. obviously the details of the future relationship is something that will only be concluded after the departure of the united kingdom. you asked whether there was anywhere we had a concession. look, the united kingdom has decided to leave the european union, it is not the other way round. the united kingdom is going to leave the european union, the single market and the customs union, not the other way round. we have to assume our responsibility and the consequences of our decisions. the consequences are substantial. this is the first thing isaid in substantial. this is the first thing i said in my first public statement backin i said in my first public statement back in november. i talked about the human consequences, the social consequences, the financial, legal, technical, economic all and political consequences. please do not underestimate those consequences and we will try and reduce the negative impact of those consequences, though i am not in a frame of mind to make concessions or ask concessions. it is not about punishment, it is not about revenge. basically we are implementing the decision taken by the united kingdom to leave the european union and unravel 43 years patiently built relations. i will do all i can to put emotion to one side and stick to the facts, the figures and the legal basis and work with the united kingdom to find an agreement in that frame of mind. this concludes our press c0 nfe re nce , frame of mind. this concludes our press conference, thank you all for your presence, thank you. at the end of the first day, the end of the first news conference, michel barnier saying a fair deal was better than no deal. david davis was saying it was clear both sides wa nted saying it was clear both sides wanted to achieve the best possible outcome for these brexit talk. david davis said he was encouraged by the constructive approach from both sides. we heard a bit about the timetable. the talks will focus on citizens' writes and the financial settle m e nt citizens' writes and the financial settlement until october with a separate dialogue in terms of the border issue in ireland. david davis was asked the question, no change in the uk government position on what the uk government position on what the future eu trade deal it actually wa nts. the future eu trade deal it actually wants. just some of the key planks laid out by the two key negotiators. you are watching bbc world news and we you are watching bbc world news and we welcome viewers in the uk who we re we welcome viewers in the uk who were also watching the news conference. derek is, after months of megaphone diplomacy, sniping and outright hostility, the brexit negotiations proper have started. david davis talked about being positive and michel barnier said a constructive opening was vital to set the right tone. the exit bill, the rights of eu and british nationals and the irish border will be negotiated first. free trade after that. in the conference will and to michel barnier topped positively, but underlined again the clock is ticking. this first session needs to start off on the right foot as the clock is ticking. it was useful for as the clock is ticking. it was usefulfor me to as the clock is ticking. it was useful for me to sit down with my counterpart david davis. i look forward to working closely with you, david, during this negotiation. today we agreed on dates. we agreed on organisation and we agreed our priorities for the negotiation. the first step will deal with the most pressing issues. we must leave the uncertainty caused by brexit. we wa nt to uncertainty caused by brexit. we want to make sure that the withdrawal of the uk happens in an orderly manner. then in the second step we will scope our future partnership. we also agreed on how we partnership. we also agreed on how we will structure our talks. our aim is to have one week of negotiations every month and use the time in between to work on problems and exchange them. they agreed the talks had started well, david davis and michel barnier, and one of the first priorities would be to talk about freedom of movement and benefits for the citizens who had profited from that. we have laid a solid foundation for future discussions which are ambitious but eminently achievable in this timetable. it is clear that both of us want to achieve the best possible outcome and the strongest possible partnership. one that works for the uk and forthe partnership. one that works for the uk and for the eu. we agree that we stand together and stand a much greater chance of success if our teams work together and that has been demonstrated today. nowhere is this more true than on the important issues around the rights of citizens. i am issues around the rights of citizens. iam happy issues around the rights of citizens. i am happy to report there is much common ground. ever since the referendum i have been clear that my first priority is to provide certainty to european union citizens living in the united kingdom and to uk citizens resident in the european union. i know michel barnier shares that desire as well. we are determined to get on with the job and deliver that certainty as soon as possible. the prime minister later this week will update european leaders on the uk's approach to this issue at the european council. we will then publish a detailed paper outlining our offer on monday which will form the right basis on which to reach agreement. let's had lied to brussels and speak to our correspondent adam fleming. the atmospherics were good, but it is the detail that has all the potential to derail. a very good description of the situation. you are right, they have been laying on the charm with each other, talking to each other on first names. they gave each other gifts and they shared their love of hill walking and hiking. talking in optimistic tones and trading optimistic quotes and about how well they worked together today. but we have got a whole load of detail in this terms of reference paper that was published at the same time as they took to the podium at the european commission. we know some dates. there will be a week of talks here in brussels every month throughout the summer and on the 17th ofjuly until the 20th of august and the 28th of september and the 19th of october. how will the mood be on the 9th of october when the clock has been ticking and there have been solid weeks of discussions. we learn about the subjects the negotiations will be broken up into. the financial settlement, which is the idea that the uk will be presented with a bill for the cost of its extrication from the eu. the idea about citizens rights and how citizens here and in the eu will be treated. and something euphemistically called other separation issues. the biggest topic of discussion today, the biggest issue they spent their time on, was theissue issue they spent their time on, was the issue of ireland. the fact that the issue of ireland. the fact that the border between northern ireland, pa rt the border between northern ireland, part of the uk, and the republic of ireland, part of the eu, will be the thorniest issue to solve. david davis says it might not be solved until the end of the process. we heard in the questions david davis again asked about the single market, the customs union, restating the government's position, and that is despite the election results and all the suggestions that within the conservative party there is an argument being pushed to soften the position. yes, that is where british politics, domestic politics at westminster, comes into play in this big geopolitical, diplomatic negotiation. lots of questions arising from the uk's inconclusive election. does this mean people who wa nted election. does this mean people who wanted a softer brexit, so—called, something more akin to and remaining in almost in a different form? david davis quashed that idea saying the uk position remains as it has been since the start of the year, leaving the single market and the customs union. he explained that is because the uk wants to do its own trade deals with other countries around the world. it cannot do that if it is still part of the single market and the customs union. the other bit of politics as well, the issue of citizens rights. theresa may will be making a statement to her other eu leaders at the summit at the end of this week and we will get a lot more detail about what that means for real people's lies at the start of next week. adam fleming, thank you very much. let's turn to the day's other main story. theresa may says the terror attack near a north london mosque is every bit as sickening as other recent attacks to hit the uk. a man died and ten people were injured when a man drove a van into worshippers at finsbury park. the 47—year—old man was arrested at the scene and is being held on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of terrorism. these are the pictures from the scene at the time. the bbc understands the man arrested in relation to the attack is 47—year—old darren osborne from the cardiff area. we understand he grew up cardiff area. we understand he grew up in weston—super—mare and has four children. those are the latest details. we understand the 47—year—old man arrested was from the cardiff area and is darren osborne. this is the fourth attack in the uk in four months. daniel sa ndford in the uk in four months. daniel sandford has the very latest. it was just after midnight in london and the third attack using a vehicle in just three months. this time the muslim community was the target. basically he drove on the pavement, coming straight towards all the muslims and as he was coming into them he hit all of them. after the van had crashed through worshippers marking the holy month of ramadan leaving age badly injured, many who had been too late night prayers found themselves wrestling the suspected van driver to the road. when he was on the ground i asked him, why did you do that? why? innocent people. he said i want to kill muslims. after a prolonged struggle the suspected driver was arrested. the imam had intervened to prevent further violence and the suspect had been handed over to some of the first police officers to arrive. we flagged them down and told them the situation, that there isa man told them the situation, that there is a man who is restrained he mowed down a group of people with his van and there is an mob attempting to hurt him. if you do not take him, god forbid he might be seriously hurt. what we proceeded to do, me and 20 other people, we lifted the van and the man who had his leg underneath that he got his leg out, but he was in a critical state. he was bleeding from his ears. the 47—year—old suspect is 47—year—old darren osborne, and man not known to mi5, but darren osborne, and man not known to m15, but who plays are now investigating for any racist views he might have expressed in the past. by he might have expressed in the past. by lunchtime the prime minister had arrived close to the scene of the attack. she visited finsbury park mosque, one of two whose worshippers we re mosque, one of two whose worshippers were caught up in the violence. the terrible terrorist attack that took place last night was an evil act borne out of hatred and it has devastated community. i am pleased to have been here today to see the of that community coming together, all faiths, united in one desire to see extremism and hatred of all source driven out of our society. there is no place for this hatred in our country today and we need to work together as one society, as one community, to drive out this evil thatis community, to drive out this evil that is affecting so many families. the prime minister's visit came just over 12 hours after the van ploughed into a over 12 hours after the van ploughed intoa group over 12 hours after the van ploughed into a group of worshippers. theresa may clearly wanted to be seen among the community that was attacked as soon as possible. jeremy corbyn, the local mp, was much of the night talking his constituents. he visited the scene with the labour mayor of london sadiq khan. throughout the day the enormity of what had happened appeared to wait on the shoulders of politicians from all parties. this is a terror on the streets and the terror of the people of the streets and in a community i am very proud to represent in parliament and that is why i am here today for them. all around the politicians visiting a huge police forensic operation was under way. the focus, this white van rented in wales. it had turned of the main seven sisters rd into a cul—de—sac, hitting the worshippers as it went through. some of them had been treating a man who was apparently ill because of a heart attack. he later died. it is unclear whether he was hit by the van, either way he is the only person who has died from last night. this was quite clearly an attack on muslims who looked like they were probably muslims and they we re they were probably muslims and they were coming from a prayer meeting. we treat this as a terrorist attack and we in the met are as shocked as anybody in this local community or across the country at what has happened. in this year of terror the muslim community of north london was a new target but the consequences of the violence were the same. eight people are still in hospital this evening, some with potentially life changing injuries. let's return to that breaking development, the 47—year—old named as darren osborne. let's go to our wales correspondent thomas morgan who is in the cardiff area. what more do we know about this man? i amjust area. what more do we know about this man? i am just standing outside what we believe to be darren osborne's house in cardiff, the capital city of wales. it is understood his house has been raided by the police in connection with that horrific incident in finsbury park in london. it is understood he hired the van about ten or 15 miles or so from cardiff and he is now under arrest in london and he will be questioned and we will tell you the details in due course. more on that story and on the brexit first day of negotiations, do stay with us here on bbc news. plenty more coming up here on bbc news. plenty more coming up in the next news. goodbye for now. another hot day in the city. very uncomfortable for some of us, some of us like it. very uncomfortable over the next three days and three knights as far as sleeping goes in many parts of england. there is fresh air in scotland and northern ireland but is cooler air may not reach the south until well into the weekend, so we will have to deal with this heat for most of this week, particularly in southern areas of the uk. very little whether to talk about. but this is what the temperatures might be at 11 o'clock, bedtime. we are still talking about 20s, the mid—20s. throughout yorkshire 23 degrees and then it freshens up significantly. this is 11 o'clock in scotland and northern ireland. even 14 degrees is warm, but this relatively speaking is a lot cooler than what we have further south. one thing that will be happening overnight is this very week cool front will separate the slightly less hot air in the north from the real heat in the south. 30 in cardiff and 30 in london, more like 17 in newcastle. wednesday we will see whether front approaching the uk. to the south it will still stay hot, but in the north there is a chance of thunderstorms. this is where we will see cloudy weather and outbreaks of rain and a distinct difference between the north and the south. temperatures reaching 30 degrees in london, possibly rising in yorkshire. wednesday is the start of glastonbury in somerset, and very hot start, but then things will cool off as we go through the course of the week. thursday is another hot one in the south east and east anglia. the temperatures lower in the western areas, back to where we should be at this time of the year. the end of the week is looking fresher, but not automatically fresher, but not automatically fresher in the far south east. watching bbc news. the headlines at 25 minutes past six. the bbc understands that the man arrested for the finsbury park attack is called darren osborne, he's age 47 and from the cardiff area.
