WorldSpain and Gibraltar celebrate as border fence falls after ‘historic deal’

Spain and Gibraltar are celebrating the removal of the last frontier fence in western Europe. A post-Brexit agreement took effect at midnight, ending land-border controls between Spain and the British overseas territory for residents, tourists and the thousands of Spanish workers who cross daily. Signed in Brussels on Tuesday, the deal concludes more than four years of negotiations involving the UK, Spain, Gibraltar and the EU after Britain left the bloc.
