Brexit: Now for the Hard Part
Two years of tough negotiations lie ahead for Britain and the EU. Where are the fault lines?

But what kind of deal should Mrs May go for? Hard Brexit that treats the EU like any other trading partner, or something much closer? On this week’s Newshour Extra Owen Bennett Jones and a panel of experts sift through the tough choices facing Britain over the next two years.
