Exploring the Brexit riddle

From Our Own Correspondent

Available for over a year

As Britain's parliament prepares to vote on the deal that will shape how it leaves the European Union, Pascale Harter introduces some different perspectives on Brexit: Ben Wright brings us the sound and fury at Westminster, and has a drink with some MPs who have as little idea about what might happen next as he does. Jenny Hill reveals that while Britain’s decision to leave the European Union was met with tears and incomprehension by some in Germany, the town of Gadheim is celebrating – it will soon become the centre of the EU. Anna Holligan goes on a fish tasting Odyssey that takes us to the spine of Britain and the EU's complex relationship with fish. And Kevin Connolly explains what dancing the gavotte has got to with Brexit. (Image: Anti-Brexit and pro-Brexit campaigners outside the Houses of Parliament in London, England.
