Japanese carmaker Honda's confirmed it's closing a major plant in Swindon in England, with the loss of around 3500 jobs.
Honda says it's due to 'unprecedented changes' for the industry, and a need to speed up its 'electrification strategy'.
But the move comes with the UK yet to agree a Brexit deal, despite its exit from the EU due to take place on 29th March.

UK correspondent Olly Barratt says Brexit remains the backdrop - even if not the direct cause of the moves.
