British Prime Minister Theresa May has set out 12 guiding principles for the UK's negotiation to leave the European Union.
Among key objectives are a free trade agreement with the EU, the continuation of co-operation on defence, and combating crime and terrorism, and the continuance of the Common Travel Area with the Republic of Ireland.
The prime minister also said that Britain will leave the European single market when it quits the EU.
Ms May said that her plans for Brexit cannot allow continued membership of the single market, which would require free movement of people and accepting the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice.
