" The UK will be granted a Brexit transition period, in a deal that's being hailed as a "decisive step". But the EU has said it wants to extend that period by two years - and is demanding an extension of talks on future trade ties. The two powers seek a "workable and practical solution" to the Irish border situation, allowing the EU to protect the border while ensuring political relations in Ireland remain intact. During the transition, the UK will have no part in the EU's decision-making process, though trade deals may still be made.
