The big Brexit breakthrough

The PM has finally struck a deal that means Brexit talks can move on to the next phase

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.

In this podcast we go through the deal with our political correspondent Ross Hawkins and hear from Leave campaigner and Conservative MP Michael Gove.
