east, essex police headquarters. the uk's first zero—emission hydrogen—powered train has been the star of a major railway exhibition at long marston in warwickshire. researchers at the university of birmingham have developed the engine, which is a small narrow—gauge prototype. they say it could have far reaching affects on cleaner rail technology. peter plisner reports. it might be small, but the technology that runs it could be the next big thing on the railways. today's passengers certainly thought so. i think it's one of the ways forward, certainly. i think it's a great piece of innovation, especially if it's good for the environment. this is our hydrogen fuel tank. developed by students at the university of birmingham, the hydrogen hero, like the trains of the past, only emits steam. it's really important, in terms of de—carbonized the railway industry. so this produces no emissions at the point of use, and it's perfectly possible to produce hydrogen in a green way. and the prospect of zero—emission trains even attracted the transport secretary, chris grayling. i think this i

european union summit, where uk prime minister theresa may has said she wants to see faster progress in the brexit negotiations. with just nine months to go until britain leaves the eu, she's under growing pressure to lay out what she sees as their future relationship. but her government remains deeply divided on that. here are some of the flashpoints. the financial side remains very controversial. the uk government puts the divorce bill for britain leaving the eu at around $51 billion. but its own spending watchdog warned this week it could be 10 billion higher, and warned any financial benefits of leaving — the so called ‘brexit dividend' — would be some years away. then there's the eu's customs union. the government says it's leaving so it can strike its own trade deals. it's one of its so—called ‘red lines'. but how to do it without going back to a hard border between the uk and ireland? that could undermine the delicate northern ireland peace deal. brexit supporters want britain to regain control of its borders. but that's seemingly incompatible with the european union

seen as a crucial staging post in the protracted negotiations over the uk's departure from the eu and, as it happens, the growing political disagreement over migration dominated the agenda. but, as ever, brexit was under discussion as well. amid all the disputes about migration, theresa may had just a brief chance to talk to the assembled leaders about brexit. her message to them? we are ready to intensify and accelerate the pace of negotiations. i want to see that from the european commission and the european union as well. more than a year into the negotiations, the eu says the uk still does not have a clear negotiating position and it needs to see one. she headed home, excluded from today's brexit discussion. controversy has, of course, accompanied every stage of the brexit process, including the way it has been reported on bbc news. for many, the corporation fails to provide balanced coverage, with louise vale putting it like this... brexit has been reported as though it was a sensible, viable alternative to the status quo. when it isn't. if it goes ahead, it will be catastrophic,

but, more than a year into the negotiations, the eu says the uk still doesn't have a clear negotiating position, and it needs to see one. she headed home, excluded from today's brexit discussion. controversy has of course accompanied every stage of the brexit process, including the way it has been reported on bbc news. for many, the corporation fails to provide balanced coverage, with louise vale putting it like this... but the majority of complaints we received are about a perceived bias in the other direction. here is pat marks. those holding that latter point of view contacted the bbc in large numbers following saturday's anti—brexit march in central london. that day, there was also a significantly smaller pro—brexit march in london, which received much less airtime. and the disparity annoyed some viewers, such as christine hicks, who e—mailed. .. and brian silvester tweeted. .. apart from the fraught issue of balance, there are other challenges for bbc reporting in this area. one is the danger of boring the audience with excessive coverage of this long—running s

the uk and eu, meaning customs checks and paperwork for the millions of trucks that pour off ferries and channel tunnel shuttles every year. it's estimated this could cost uk and eu firms around $77.6 billion a year. for uk firms, additional "red—tape costs" of tariff and non—tariff barriers would amount to 36 billion dollars. for eu—based firms, it would be $41.5 billion. brexit is a big dealfor ports. dover handles up to i7% of britain's entire trade, thought to be worth around 150 billion dollars last year. but planning delays means new infrastructure. a crucial lorry park to absorb disruption at uk channel ports is currently not scheduled to be ready before march 2019. a house of lords report last month also warned that a lack of staff and it systems could cause severe delays at british ports in the event of a no—deal brexit. clare marshall went to meet some truckers in the uk to see what they made of it. at the moment, a two—minute delay at customs leads to a 17 mile tail back. it seems a few more cheques will be needed. does that worry truckers here? we need commonsen

companies across the uk are warning customers to urgently cut back on how much they use amid increased demand during the current heatwave. the first hosepipe ban to be introduced in northern ireland in nearly 25 years came into force last night, while united utilities has warned a ban could follow in north—west england, as peter ruddick reports. as the mercury rises, the water flows. however, it's the scale of the increased demand during the recent heatwave that is beginning to seriously worry utility firms. in rugby, bottle stations have opened up as a precaution amid fears a nearby water storage facility could run dry this weekend. customers are being asked to conserve supplies and it's a story being played out across the country. severn trent says people are using about one third more water than normal. it's led to several disruptions and outages already and they're asking everyone to act neighbourly. in the north—west, united utilities says it needs urgent help, or they may be forced to introduce a hosepipe ban on monday. they've asked people not to wash their cars or

think it is one of our great strengths in the uk, we are known drug europe to have good intelligence services in policing. we do regularly co—operate to stop threats and the only thing that would make me think a little bit is some reference in the report about respecting the remit of the european court of justice, about respecting the remit of the european court ofjustice, which isn't exactly popular with brexiteers for all sorts of reasons to do with a lot of them think it has too much power. and it has become one of the bogeyman of europe's. although the headline looks very good for theresa may but it may not be so much plane saying in the issue as others. clearly the briefing that has been given a head of the summit is tough talking and finger wagging. you wonder and it is exactly right how tough talking to prime minister is going to be able to be with her own party if this rather peculiar line about respecting the remit of the european court ofjustice plays out, and it will be interesting to see how that intends to play out and one fears thatis intends to play out and one fears

far better for the uk to stay in the european union. short of that, the best way of limiting the damage is to continue to participate in the eea and the customs union. she says that will not work. it's not in the spirit of brexit. hang on a moment. she may have said these things but she is absolutely clear that her country would welcome the uk being part of the eea, not least because she says it will increase the bargaining power of the eea relative to the european union. that's a different question. i was just about to come to your question precisely. with regard to free movement, in fact, the phrase is misleading because it suggests that it is a free—for—all and there is not. you can better manage and impose greater restrictions, if that is what you wish to do, to the way freedom of movement operates, as part of the eea and the european union. but britain, the united kingdom, chooses not to do so. for example, if somebody has been in our country for three months and has not secured work and has no prospect of work you can ask them to leave. we choose not to do that. so you

the eu and uk. both sides are keen to continue that work at a faster pace than we have until now and we welcome that. other european leaders say that is done to you persuading your cabinet to come together. can your cabinet to come together. can you really say it's going well when two years on eu leaders say britain needs to get its act together? we have been setting out our position and at every stage, last december and at every stage, last december and in march, we have made agreements on the issues we discussed and agreed we will talk about. now we will bring the cabinet together in the next week, we will then publish our white paper setting out in more detail what a strong partnership the uk wants to see with the eu in future but that is a partnership which i believe is not just about the interests of the uk but the wider interests of the youth and that's why i'm confident we can discuss that at pace and ensure we achieve what we want, which is that continuing partnership with the eu on economic and security matters. we have already been able to encourage and get flexibility from
