Brexit: 'Breakthrough' deal paves way for future trade talks

Prime Minister Theresa May has struck a last minute deal with the EU to move Brexit talks on to the next phase.

There will be no "hard border" in Ireland and EU citizens in the UK, and UK citizens in the EU, will see their rights protected.

European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said "the breakthrough we needed" had been achieved, after months of negotiations.

If EU leaders agree, talks on UK-EU trade after Brexit can go ahead.
