THE GUARDIAN reports that “negotiations continued overnight between UK and EU at European commission’s headquarters in Brussels.”

Earlier it wrote: “Boris Johnson will sign off on an historic post-Brexit trade and security deal with the European Union in a telephone call with Ursula von der Leyen this Christmas eve morning, four and a half years after Britain chose to leave the bloc.

“A call is expected early this morning between the prime minister and the European commission’s president, ahead of press conferences an hour later on either side of the English channel. Negotiations had continued deep into the night over the fishing arrangements, one of the final sticking points in the talks.”
