The tiny British territory bordering Spain had been one of the final sticking points of the post-Brexit negotiations. Plus, US President Donald Trump claims a "deal with China is done" following high-level trade talks in London, but uncertainty remains over just how much Beijing is willing to give up its leverage on rare earth supplies.

Nine years after the Brexit vote, a new UK–EU deal promises smoother trade and deeper cooperation — but is it the end of the Brexit saga or just another chapter? Bronwen Maddox digs into what the deal really means with Rod Liddle and Nicolai von Ondarza, from political fallout to Britain's shifting role on the world stage.

In this episode, I talk about Keir Starmer's new deal with the EU and what it really means for the UK, especially for fishing, food exports, and everyday workers.I start with fishing. For years, we were told that leaving the EU would give us back full control of our waters. But the truth is, a lot of our fishing rights are still in foreign hands. Over half of England's quota is owned by companies from places like the Netherlands, Spain, and Iceland. These firms often run UK-registered boats, but the profits go abroad. Meanwhile, small local fishers, especially those with smaller boats, get very little of the catch.Nigel Farage has slammed the new deal, saying we've given in to the EU. I look at it differently. Yes, EU boats will still be allowed in our waters until 2038, but in return, we're getting less red tape when selling food to Europe. That's important. Since Brexit, a lot of UK seafood businesses have struggled with delays and paperwork when trying to export things like langoustines and oysters. This deal could help fix that and bring some of the money back.I also explain how fishing rights work. They're not just handed out evenly. Over the years, they've been bought and sold like stocks. One Dutch company owns around 20 percent of England's fishing rights. And five wealthy UK families own nearly a third of the UK's total quota. That's left many smaller boats and local communities out in the cold.The deal could also help with labour shortages. It opens the door for more young people to work across the UK and EU, which might help farming and fishing businesses that are crying out for workers.Towards the end, I talk about the politics behind it. Some people worry this means we're still tied to EU rules. Others say it's just common sense if we want to trade smoothly and avoid more damage. I don't pretend to have all the answers, but I do think we need less shouting and more talking.We also touch briefly on defence and how working with the EU could open up new chances for British companies, especially as Europe increases spending on security.As always, I invite you to call in and share your views. This isn't just about fish or trade deals. It's about how we look after our own industries and whether we're being honest with ourselves about what we really got from Brexit.Be part of the show and call in! https://richardsonsrubicon.com/be-on-the-show/

Border post facilities set up since Brexit to handle import checks could now be scaled down or even dismantled. The UK's new deal with the EU promises progress towards an agreement to reduce the paperwork and border checks involved in trading foods like meat and dairy. It also includes a deal on fishing which would allow EU boats to fish in British waters for a further 12 years. The Scottish Fishermen's Federation has called it "a horror show", but the DEFRA Secretary, Steve Reed, says it's a "reasonably good deal" for UK fishing.In its manifesto the Labour party promised to end what it described as “the ineffective badger cull". The Government now says it's working on a revised TB eradication strategy, which includes increased badger vaccination and a national wildlife surveillance programme to better understand the disease. So how much difference could that make?And a new set of targets to tackle climate change have been recommended to Scottish Government ministers, replacing those scrapped last year. A report from the Climate Change Committee suggests effectively delaying short term progress by six years, but keeping Scotland on track to meet its long-term goal of net zero emissions by 2045.Presented by Anna Hill Produced by Heather Simons

The UK halts free trade negotiations with Israel and sanctions West Bank settlements, in an unprecedented rebuke of Israel's military actions in Gaza.

Fallout continues from yesterday's summit and the announcement of a deal between the UK and EU – or is it fair to call it 'fallout' as, despite criticism over the deal from Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch, has the public got Brexit fatigue?  James Heale and Michael Simmons join Patrick Gibbons to talk about the reaction to the deal. Fisheries has taken up most discussion but Michael points out a lesser talked about commitment to energy policy. And, with the government keen to talk about it in tandem with recent deals with India and the US – and Gulf states soon, according to Rachel Reeves this morning – what's the political narrative around the summit? Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

There's a distinct European flavour to this week's episode and we kick off with our reaction to the UK/EU deal struck on Monday.Has the Scottish fishing industry, once again, been a bargaining chip worth sacrificing to benefit other parts of the UK economy? Given that fishing and farming are devolved matters why wasn't the Scottish government either involved or at the very least consulted on the agreements reached in these areas? Despite the trumpeting of the deal will it always be a sticking plaster over the economic wounds of Brexit?Saturday saw the latest edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. Lesley has always been a massive fan of the event, Pat not so much,  what are her reactions to the inclusion of Israel, the behaviour of the EBU and host broadcaster in apparently censoring the live audience during the Israeli performance, and the claims of massive state intervention in order for Israel to stage a propaganda coup?The British Museum hosted a secret celebration of Israel "Independence" Day. Much of the focus has been on the appearance at it by comedian Jimmy Carr but should more have been made of the speech given by UK Minister for Defence Procurement and Industry, Maria Eagle , on the day that the Labour government was in court defending itself against claims that it had continued to supply Israel with F35 aircraft parts in breach of its own sanctions?ScotLand( sic) Futures led by the Scottish Land Commission has called for individuals, community groups, land managers, businesses and organisations to "help shape a shared vision for how Scotland's land is owned, used and managed". Lesley asks if we need less "consultation" and more genuine action?As we recorded last week's episode the result of the vote at Stage One of The Assisted Dying Bill vote at Holyrood was unknown.

In this punchy episode of Mark and Pete, we tackle three explosive issues shaping the UK today. First, we dive into the shocking statistic that 1 in 10 Britons have no savings, revealing the fragile state of personal finance and what it means for national resilience. With household budgets tighter than ever, are we heading for a savings crisis? Next, we commemorate and critique the legacy of Margaret Thatcher as her 100th birthday is marked with celebratory events in Grantham. Love her or loathe her, the Iron Lady remains one of Britain's most divisive political figures. We explore how Thatcherism reshaped the UK—and whether the celebration is deserved or divisive. Finally, we cast our nets into the stormy waters of the UK-EU fishing rights dispute. With the Brexit fishing deal expiring soon, tensions rise over quotas, sovereignty, and national identity. Will British fishermen be left high and dry while Brussels demands more access? As always, Mark and Pete bring wit, wisdom, and a splash of theological insight to today's most pressing issues.

Britain and the European Union have agreed a series of deals aimed at resetting relations following Brexit, which saw the UK vote to leave the bloc in 2016. The new agreements on issues including trade, fishing rights and defence co-operation were unveiled at a UK-EU summit in London.Also in the programme: Joe Biden is diagnosed with prostate cancer and; we find out about a special exhibition about John Lennon in London…from his sister.(Picture: Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Antonio Costa.

As EU leaders arrive in London for a summit hosted by Keir Starmer, there has been an announcement that the UK and EU have reached a deal. The UK has extended its agreement on EU fishing boats in British waters, while in return fewer checks on British food exports are expected. There have also been discussions about a defence pact, reduced tuition fees for EU students and access to electronic passport gates for British holiday-makers.  While we await further details, deputy political editor James Heale and director of the Centre for European Reform Charles Grant join Lucy Dunn to unpack what we know so far. Will the deal be an easy sell, or does it risk being seen as a ‘brexit betrayal'? And, does it lack ambition or is it an important first step in restoring trust between two allies? Charles points out that there are important implications: on a future US trade deal; for Northern Ireland; and, in setting precedent; while James highlights the tight-rope Labour have to walk in constructing a narrative around the deal – particularly around avoiding being seen as selling out the ‘somewheres' in favour of the ‘anywheres'.

Tommy Meskill, London Correspondent, explains what can be expected from a summit between the European Union leaders and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in London.

The Prime Minister has, in his words, struck a "win-win" deal with the European Union which will begin a "new era" in UK-EU relations, arguing that he's "delivering what the British public voted for last year".The big problem is that, by allowing EU boats access to UK fishing waters until 2038 and agreeing to align with EU food standards, Starmer seems to be ignoring what the British public actually voted for back in 2016.There's no doubt that this is another step moving the UK closer to the bloc - but are we now on a path back into the EU as many suspect Starmer would like? Kamal and Tim are joined by the Telegraph's Europe editor James Crisp, fresh from the summit at Lancaster House, and by Boris Johnson's EU negotiator Lord David Frost.Producers: Lilian FawcettSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyExecutive Producer: Louisa WellsSocial Media Producer: Robbie NicholsVideo Editor: Andy MackenzieStudio Operator: Meghan SearleEditor: Camilla TomineyOriginal music by Goss Studio Hosted on Acast.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer today signed a landmark post-Brexit deal with the European Union. The deal has been lauded by the Labour leader as "a new era in our relationship...moving on from stale old debates" and "following through on what the British public voted for last year".  His opponents are far from pleased, however, with both Reform and the Conservatives arguing that this sees the UK move back towards the EU and against the will of the people as voted for in 2016. Reform leader Nigel Farage has labelled the deal 'a surrender' to the EU by Sir Keir.  But what is actually in the deal? What does it mean, and who stands to benefit the most from it?  Niall Paterson and Sky News Political Correspondent Tamara Cohen unpack the seismic deal announced today in London. The pair look at the benefits for the UK in the deal. They also analyse how damaging some of the prime minister's concessions could be for the Labour Party, and how Reform could capitalise on this.   Producers: Gabriel Radus, Soila ApparicioEditor: Philly Beaumont
