BBC World Service - The World This Week, Britain reveals its Brexit plans

The outlines of what Britain wants when it leaves the EU have become clearer.

After months of "Brexit means Brexit", this week the British prime minister revealed the broad outlines of what she'll attempt to achieve in talks with other EU states in the next two years or so. It surprised many of Britain's soon-to-be-former partners.
