- Story Text:The European Union's chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier will brief the bloc's heads of government on the state of negotiations on Tuesday evening, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said at a news conference on Tuesday morning, adding that there might also be further talks.
Diplomatic sources earlier said Britain's latest proposals on the terms of its departure from the European Union are still not enough for an agreement and that a legal text was needed by the end of Tuesday for a deal to be reached at a leaders' summit this week.
