LONDON, Nov 12 (Reuters) - Britain is determined to secure a trade deal with the European Union and is working hard to close the gaps in negotiating positions, Michael Gove, the minister in charge of implementing the divorce deal, said on Thursday.

We consider that free returns is a critical part of our value position, we are not considering to charge for returns," CEO José Antonio Ramos Calamonte told reporters. "I acknowledge that some of our competitors are currently charging for returns.

They claimed the hospital's response had added to their grief. Dr Rudolph and Dunstan Lowe lost their daughter Celandine when she was five days old after she was delivered at William Harvey Hospital in Ashford in 2016.

She told Vanity Fair: 'The complete horses**t idea that I left Jason for Harry is completely inaccurate. Our relationship was over long before I met Harry.' Wilde, 38, has always insisted that she and Sudeikis parted ways in early 2020 and her relationship with former One Direction star Styles started months later.

Today, the findings of an investigation into an alleged maternity scandal at the trust will be laid bare in a review by Dr Bill Kirkup, who also chaired the investigation into mother and baby deaths in Morecambe in 2015.

"So far we have to intensify our efforts in order to bridge or to try to bridge the remaining gaps, for example fisheries, level playing field and governance," he told reporters before the start of a summit of EU leaders.

Yesterday the former couple, who have son Otis, eight, and daughter Daisy, six, said: 'As parents, it is incredibly upsetting to learn that a former nanny of our two young children would choose to make such false and scurrilous accusations about us.

Thousands of women and girls have been kidnapped and forced into sexual slavery by Boko Haram and its Islamic State offshoot. That war is being carried out, in part, upon the bodies of women and children.

"Of course we are determined to secure a deal and that's why our negotiators under Lord (David) Frost are working hard with (EU chief negotiator) Michel Barnier to close the remaining gaps in the negotiations," Gove told parliament.

Lying in the insurgent camp's infirmary, she plotted her escape, intent on saving Fatima from a future of hunger and rape under the militants.

By then, she had been in captivity for more than three years. Aisha took months to recover after the bombing attack.

BRUSSELS, Oct 15 (Reuters) - The European Union and Britain need to intensify efforts to close gaps on negotiations to forge a post-Brexit trade deal and the bloc needs to have a clear plan in the case of a failure of talks, Lithuania President Gitanas Nauseda said on Thursday.

Felerin had suffered, too, telling Reuters she'd had a forced abortion and lost two young sons after soldiers injected them with poison at Giwa Barracks in Maiduguri. In the camp, Aisha found a new friend, Felerin, who held her as she cried over her losses.

On one occasion, the nanny claimed that Wilde infuriated Sudeikis by preparing a salad for Styles with her 'special dressing' in the family kitchen - leaving him ranting furiously at her and filming the encounter, before he tried to prevent her from leaving 'by lying under her car'.

Dozens of women in northeast Nigeria told Reuters of similarly wrenching experiences during the ongoing strife, which has claimed more than 300,000 lives, including those of civilians killed by violence, starvation and disease.

Despite Wilde's insistence that her split from Sudeikis was 'initially friendly,' the nanny claimed that it left the blindsided Ted Lasso star distraught and ranting to the employee about their split and her decision to date British singer Harry Styles.

One morning about four years ago, when he was roughly 3, the military launched an airstrike on the camp. They blew up the hut where the boy slept. Aisha, who was nearby, ran to save him but was too late.

Later in the morning, neighbours who heard Aisha's sobs came to help her bury the tiny body in the local cemetery.

One neighbour, Musa, confirmed Aisha's account of that episode, saying he saw the girl before she died, and saw Aisha grieving afterward.

She hoped one day to have children. Unlike some fathers in the region, she said, hers had made a priority of securing an education for his girls, and he never beat them. In high school, Aisha had a boyfriend in a neighbouring village whom she hoped to marry.

She said she dreamt of becoming a soldier, an accountant or even a doctor - a secure livelihood in the economically depressed region.

The insurgents took the woman, in her 50s, to the village square and, in front of as many people as they could gather, beheaded her with an axe. She began to feel terrified. Aisha said she can't forget the woman's head and body dangling as blood spurted from her.

She made her way to a displaced persons camp in the city of Yola, a crowded and chaotic place populated with many other women as traumatised as she was.

There was little food, and no money. With Fatima gone, Aisha was alone.
