EU claims Brexit talks in 'deadlock'

Available for over a year

Michel Barnier, the EU's chief negotiator in the Brexit talks, says they are in 'disturbing deadlock'. But a leaked draft EU document calls for preparatory discussions on trade talks. We get some analysis from The Economist's Tom Nuttall. And then we consider the lessons to be learned from the standoff between another island nation and the EU: Cyprus in 2013. We speak to Panicos Demetriades, the former governor of the Cypriot central bank. Also as the US pulls out of UNESCO, citing anti-Israel bias, we speak to a former US ambassador to the cultural agency. And James Coomarasamy reports from St Petersburg, as Russians prepare to mark the centenary of the revolution that changed the world.
