Summary

Finally an agreement that 'sufficient progress' has been made to move Brexit negotiations on to trade and the future relationship. But at what price? Has Theresa May turned what was looking like a bad week into a good one? And how will this 'deal' go down with those hard Brexiteers? Also this week, Donald Trump's hugely controversial statement recognising Jerusalem as Israel's capital. What impact will this have on the two-state solution in the Middle East? Joining Adam Boulton this week are Sky's political correspondent Tamara Cohen, Europe correspondent Mark Stone and Diplomatic Editor Dominic Waghorn. #Brexit #Jerusalem #skynews

We start, of course, with a very difficult week for Mrs May, ending on a positive note when after all-night talks from Thursday and to Friday, the suggestion was made that the European Union did now accept that Britain was ready to move forward to the next phase of talks, having satisfied the divorce negotiations on the divorce settlement,
