The European Medicines Agency is based in London and is responsible for the safety of medicines developed by pharmaceutical companies for use in the EU. If Article 50 is triggered then the UK will leave the EMA.

The UK Parliament is in recess at the moment, so the politics of Brexit has been low key. This gives us an opportunity to reflect on the arts and Brexit. What would some of great literary and artistic names from the past, such as David Hockney and Kingsley Amis have made of the decision to leave the European Union? Dan Damon spoke to BBC's Ben Wright and Denis Staunton, the London editor of the Irish Times.

A court case in Dublin could give the British government the option of revisiting the Brexit decision and reversing it without the consent of the other 27 European Union member states. The court case will also consider whether Britain should still be able to attend all of the meetings of the EU until it actually leaves the organisation. Dan Damon spoke to Jolyon Maugham, director of the Good Law Project and to the BBC's political correspondent Chris Mason.

For two days British parliamentarians have been debating draft legislation that paves the way for Britain to officially start the process of leaving the European Union. Last week Supreme Court judges ruled that government plans to trigger Article 50 and start negotiating its exit from the European Union must be put before parliament. Dan Damon spoke with Conservative MP Ben Howlett just before he went into the chamber to start the second and final day of discussions.(Photo: Protestors demonstrate against Brexit in Parliament Square while parliamentarians debate the European Union notification of withdrawal bill.

Legislation that would allow the British government to trigger what's known as Article 50 and start negotiating its exit from the European Union could be put before parliament as early as Thursday. That's after the Supreme Court ruling on Tuesday that - in essence - said parliament must be consulted beforehand. But how many MPs will vote against? Will amendments be tabled to frustrate the process? James Menendez spoke to Alison Young, Professor of Public Law at Oxford University and Rob Watson, BBC's political correspondent. First, what will the Brexit bill entail?

Nobody knows what will happen to the hundreds of UK-based European footballers when Britain leaves the EU, but one popular gaming franchise has decided to explore the possibilities by building new 'Brexit scenarios' into the gameplay.

Miles Jacobson, director of the Football Manager franchise, told Dan Damon how he came up with the idea.(Photo: Manchester United's Portuguese manager Jose Mourinho.
