EU-UK trade deal talks to resume after London has a change of heart

The British car industry says the consequences of new tariffs and other barriers would be devastating under a no-deal scenario.

The UK PM responded by saying London was 'ready' for negotiations to fail, with time running out for an agreement to be struck.

One country, four governments, with tangible variations in how they have chosen to manage their populations against the virus. It is arguably one of the biggest stress tests for devolution.

"In three and a half years of listening to countless stories, I have never come across so many academics, scientists, doctors and people of working age thinking of leaving,” Elena Remigi, a 52-year-old Italian living in Berkshire, told Euronews.

The British Prime Minister made the statement a day after agreeing with the EU to intensify talks to reach an agreement.

The EU and the UK are still no closer to breaking the deadlock with three months to go until the end of the Brexit transition period.

Will a meeting between UK PM Boris Johnson and EU chief Ursula Von der Leyen on Saturday help break the deadlock?

Brussels launched legal action against the UK on Thursday but with fewer than 100 days to go until the end of the transition period, should the UK be that concerned?

The bill was approved by 340 votes to 256, a government majority of 84.

The meeting between the UK's Michael Gove and the EU's Maros Sefcovic on the Withdrawal Agreement comes after Britain unveiled plans to break international law over it.

In a thinly-veiled reference to the UK, EU chief Charles Michel said "respect for treaties, a basic principle of international law, comes to be considered optional even by those who, until recently, were its historical guarantors".

The EU threatened legal action if parts of the contentious bill, which a UK government minister admitted broke international law, were not removed.
