SIGNIFICANT ISSUES UNRESOLVED IN BREXIT TALKS
Significant issues remain unresolved in the Brexit negotiations, which have entered the final day before a key EU summit.
Officials on both sides of the Channel said on Wednesday morning that numerous obstacles still needed to be surmounted for a fresh agreement to be brokered.
The Prime Minister needs to get a deal approved at the summit of EU leaders starting in Brussels on Thursday if he is to avoid an almighty clash over asking for a delay to the UK's departure.
Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay confirmed that Mr Johnson will write a letter asking for an Article 50 extension if no deal is in place by Saturday, something the PM has repeatedly ruled out.
Talks in Brussels resumed on Wednesday morning after running into the early hours.
