the UK's Boris Johnson has unveiled his plans to strike a Brexit deal with the European Union - just two weeks before the crucial EU summit in Brussels.

The main changes relate to Northern Ireland and would mean new customs checks on goods crossing the border.

He's calling it a compromise and is calling on the EU to do the same, tut the EU has already rejected this controversial idea in principle.
