INTERNATIONAL NEWS - Formal Brexit talks are due to resume in Brussels later, with British negotiators urging the EU to show "flexibility and imagination".
Brexit Secretary David Davis wants to broaden discussions to include trade.
But the EU says there has to be progress on the issues of citizens' rights, the Irish border and the "divorce bill" before talks can widen.
Both sides have said there is no real prospect of a breakthrough in this third round of talks.
BBC's Europe correspondent Kevin Connolly said the mood for the talks had been set by a series of briefings "that betray a good deal of mutual exasperation".
