BBC World Service - Weekend, EU offer ‘unacceptable’ as Brexit trade talks continue

The Brexit talks on the UK's future relationship with the EU are nearing their end

The Brexit talks on the UK's future relationship with the EU are nearing their end.

Talks between the UK and the European Union about a post-Brexit trade deal are continuing ahead of Sunday's deadline. Both sides previously warned they were unlikely to reach an agreement.

Also in the programme: There are efforts to locate hundreds of students abducted from a school in Nigeria and the 25th anniversary of the signing of a peace agreement which ended the conflict in Bosnia-Herzegovina. 

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are the writer, broadcaster and comedian, Timandra Harkness and Peter Tatchell, international human rights campaigner and director of the Peter Tatchell Foundation.
