Brexit: UK and EU begin new relationship

The new deal between the UK and the European Union comes into effect 23.00 local time.

Four and a half years after the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union, the terms of the new trade deal between the two parties will come into force tonight. We have a conversation among three Brits - a business owner, a fisherman and a mental health worker - about their hopes for a future relationship with the EU.

We bring the latest developments with the coronavirus pandemic and find out about a Covid vaccine in China that has been given a full approval today.

And as we continue to look back on the year 2020, our reporter in Washington reflects on the biggest news stories, the pandemic, the elections and Black Lives Matter movement, in the US.
