Downing St arrivals as UK PM set to brief cabinet on state of Brexit negotiations

(13 Nov 2018) Britain's senior ministers arrived on Tuesday at London's 10 Downing Street where Prime Minister Theresa May was expected to brief them on the progress of Brexit negotiations. May's deputy said earlier on Tuesday that Britain and the European Union are "almost within touching distance" of a Brexit deal after another late-night negotiating session. Britain wants to seal a deal this fall, so that Parliament has time to vote on it before the UK leaves the bloc on March 29. The European Parliament also has to approve any agreement. Negotiators have been meeting late into the night in Brussels in a bid to close the remaining gaps. Differences remain between Britain and the bloc over how to ensure the border between Northern Ireland and Ireland remains open after Brexit.
