UK and EU officials have agreed on a draft Brexit deal after more than a year of talks.<br />For more on this and other news around the world we turn to our Ro Aram…<br />Aram… Brexit talks have been turbulent in recent months…. Are we finally seeing some progress?<br /><br /> Well Mark… We have to remember this is only a draft text that has been agreed at a technical level, so nothing is for sure yet.<br /> Prime Minister Theresa May must now try to get the deal approved by her Cabinet and, in the toughest test of all, by parliament.<br />She has called for a Cabinet meeting to be held on Wednesday afternoon, local time, and will be meeting her ministers one by one.<br />She has the tough task of trying to sell the deal to her divided Cabinet, with the risk of seeing some senior members resign. <br /> The pro-Brexit faction of her Conservative Party has already attacked the agreement, accusing May of surrendering to the EU.<br />Tory Brexiteers have urged senior ministers to block the draft agreement and have also said they will vote it down in parliament.<br />The thorniest issue that's been dogging talks for months is how to avoid a hard Irish border after Brexit. <br />May's critics say the fix for the Irish border comes at a high price for the rest of the UK - which will be locked into EU trade rules for years. <br />EU officials will also be looking at the draft at the same time as the Cabinet meeting, but many are already skeptical. <br />
