EU's chief Brexit negotiator warns deal must be done by October 2018

The European Union's chief negotiator for Brexit says the UK will have to reach a deal with the bloc by October 2018.

Michel Barnier told reporters in Brussels that time would be short for negotiations as the proposed deal will need to be ratified by the 27 remaining members of the European Union within the two year negotiating process.

He warned the UK would not be able to "cherry pick" what it wanted, such as access to the single market.

Earlier British Prime Minister Theresa May said she wanted an ambitious Brexit that was right for the UK. Mrs May says she intends to trigger Article 50, the mechanism to leave the EU by the end of March 2017.

Mr Barnier told reporters that time for talk would be short.

Supreme Court Brexit Appeal Day 2

It's day two of a legal appeal at the UK's Supreme Court, over how Brexit must be authorised.

The Government is arguing against a High Court decision last month which found that Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty - which would begin Brexit negotiations - had to be triggered by a vote in Parliament, and not by the Prime Minster.

MAY 'AMBITIOUS' OVER BREXIT DEAL

UK Prime Minister Theresa May says she's 'ambitious' about striking a Brexit deal and can secure 'best possible terms' when it comes to access to the European single market.

She's been speaking in Bahrain, where she's on a two day visit.

It comes as the UK's Supreme Court continues hearings on whether parliament must be consulted when the government triggers Article 50 to start formal Brexit negotiations.

Conservative MP Bernard Jenkin says it's a hugely significant case.

Russia and US to hold talks on Aleppo withdrawal

Russia's Foreign Minister said talks with the United States on the withdrawal of rebels from Eastern Aleppo could begin in Geneva as early as Tuesday evening.
