UK PM TO BRUSSELS FOR BREXIT DINNER

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson will hold Brexit talks in Brussels later with the President of the European Commission.

It's considered a final chance to move negotiations forward in time to reach a Brexit trade deal by the end of the year, when transition arrangements expire.

Boris Johnson and Ursula von der Leyen will have dinner ahead of an EU leaders' summit on Thursday.

The two sides remain in disagreement over fishing rights, governance, and level playing field commitments.

Philip Rycroft, former permanent secretary at the Brexit department, says there's pressure on Boris Johnson whatever the outcome.
