International Live: British Prime Minister Boris Johnson signed Britain’s EU divorce agreement on Friday after Brussels’ top two officials earlier did likewise at a ceremony behind closed doors.

“Today I have signed the Withdrawal Agreement for the UK to leave the EU on January 31st, honouring the democratic mandate of the British people,” Johnson wrote on Twitter.

The prime minister hailed a "fantastic moment" for the country after he put his name to the historic agreement, which paves the way for the UK's exit from the European Union next Friday.

He said he hoped it would "bring to an end far too many years of argument and division".
