The UK鈥檚 withdrawal agreement from the European Union has been approved by EU leaders, its chief official Donald Tusk has announced.

The 27 leaders gave it their backing after less than an hour's discussion in Brussels.

Mr Tusk signalled on Saturday that the deal would be approved after Spain withdrew last-minute concerns over Gibraltar.

The deal needs to be approved by the UK Parliament, with many MPs opposed. So what expectations do EU member states have for what will happen next? The 麻豆社's Paul Henley has been speaking with Dutch MEP, Hans van Baalen.
