Today's Highlighted Video Story: UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is set to meet with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, to strike a new Brexit deal for Northern Ireland. Mr Sunak will meet Ms von der Leyen in Berkshire, UK later today, where they are expected to sign off a deal over trade arrangements. The Northern Ireland Protocol has been a big sticking point between the two sides since the UK formally left the EU in 2020, and resulted in a political impasse which also caused a shutdown of the government in Northern Ireland.
