--------------------------------------

The UK is finally taking the momentous step of leaving the European Union, three and a half years after the Brexit referendum, and it has an ambitious deadline to strike new trade relations with the bloc. 
At 11pm local time on 31st January, the country will enter a transition period, which lasts until the end of the year. That means by 31st December 2020, the UK and the EU aim to have signed a post-Brexit trade deal. 

Aside from trade, there also needs to be decisions on law enforcement, data sharing, security, aviation standards, access to fishing waters, supplies of electricity, and licensing of medicines.

Benji Hyer breaks what both sides hope to include in the future arrangement that has to be negotiated in the next 11 months.
