SBS News In Depth - A podcast by SBS

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has met European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on to reset relations on issues such as trade, security and immigration. Starmer, whose Labour Party won in July's election, has made clear that his government won't seek wholesale negotiation of the Brexit deal that took Britain out of the bloc, but he is seeking to tweak the relationship in a range of areas. Meanwhile, the EU heads to a significant vote tomorrow that could see new trade barriers with China.
