British Prime Minister Theresa May says her government will seek to protect the rights of EU citizens in the UK after Brexit.
The fate of some 3.5 million EU citizens in the UK is a top priority for EU negotiators in the Brexit talks.
In a move seen as a conciliatory statement on Brexit to European heads of state and government last night, Mrs May outlined proposals which would ensure that no EU citizen lawfully living in the UK will be asked to leave the UK after Brexit.
