UK strikes deal with EU on food, fishing, defence and passports


ITV News has the story.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that "Britain is back on the world stage" after agreeing to a number of deals with the EU at the UK's first major summit with the bloc since Brexit.

Under the new deal struck with Brussels, British holidaymakers will soon be able to use eGates at more European airports, as the government promises to end "dreaded queues" at border control.

As part of Monday's agreement, food and drinks exports between the UK and the bloc will become easier, which means British burgers and sausages can once again be sold in the EU.

The UK has also agreed to extend fishing access for EU boats in UK waters for another 12 years.

Plus all the developments on Gaza and Gary Lineker's departure from the BBC.
