UK and EU agree post Brexit trade deal

World Business Report

Available for over a year

After years of political upheaval, Britain has finally struck a post-Brexit deal with the European Union. As the news breaks we get the latest from our economics correspondent Andrew Walker, the Financial Times' Paris bureau chief Victor Mallet and - and with fishing rights a key sticking point until the very end, we also hear from the head of Grimsby Fish Market in eastern England. Also in the programme why Alibaba is being investigated by Chinese regulators over alleged anti-competitive practices and we hear from the entrepreneurial Brits who've made a virtue out of being locked down.
