Brussels steps up no-deal planning as deadline on UK-EU trade talks looms

Flags of the European Union and Great Britain fly together on College Green near the Palace of Westminster.

Boris Johnson and European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen agreed that a decision on the future of the negotiations will be taken by the end of the weekend.
