Friday, January 31, 2020
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will hail the "dawn of a new era" on Friday, as the UK prepares to leave the European Union after 47 years.
In a speech to be shown at 22:00 GMT - an hour before the official departure time - he will say Brexit is "not an end but a beginning".
He will describe severing ties with the other 27 EU nations as "a moment of real national renewal and change".
