Brexit: May rebuffed by EU leaders in Brussels


READ MORE

British Prime Minister Theresa May is insisting she can get the extra assurances she needs from the European Union on her Brexit deal – to ensure it is passed by her own parliament.


It comes after heated discussions in Brussels, but the EU is showing no sign of moving from its current position.


Prime Minister May remains hopeful that some sort of legal legerdemain can persuade doubting MPs to support the Brexit deal, but in Brussels, many EU leaders were reportedly sceptical that she could pass the deal through the UK’s Parliament.


Al Jazeera’s Jonah Hull reports from Brussels.

READ MORE The air thick with smoke from a ferocious wildfire that was still burning homes Saturday, residents in the Northern California town of Paradise found their cars incinerated and their homes reduced to rubble. People surveyed the damage and struggled to cope with what they had lost. Entire neighbourhoods were levelled by a blaze that threatened to explode again with the same fury that largely incinerated the foothill town.

Military emails reveal turmoil after Harper's team released 2015 images from battlefield

READ MORE It was a photo op designed to deliver public relations gold — pictures of the prime minister standing alongside Canadian troops in the battlefield, but it didn’t go quite as planned. Newly released documents have shed fresh light on the confusion unleashed within the military when a 2015 trip to Iraq and Kuwait by former prime minister Stephen Harper took an unexpected turn. Reporters travelling with Harper were required to sign a lengthy written agreement pledging not to photograph or identify Canadian service members working at an airbase in Kuwait and alongside Kurdish Peshmerga forces in Iraq. Journalists were warned doing so could expose those members and their families to threats from ISIS. Reporters were careful to respect the guidelines.
