MAY IN CHINA: I'M NOT A QUITTER

UK Prime Minister Theresa May says she has no plans to quit - despite growing speculation about her leadership.

Speaking en route to China she insisted she's tackling Brexit and domestic issues in an optimistic spirit.

It follows growing criticism from some sections of her Conservative Party and suggestions she could soon face a leadership challenge.

Mrs May hopes to boost ties and business with China on a three day trip to the country but has also promised to raise concerns over issues including Hong Kong, intellectual property piracy, and steel production.

Which former cabinet minister David Mellor says is a dangerous way to start the trip after her predecessors made a major push to improve relations.

Speaker Ryan suggests 'malfeasance' at FBI

Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives is now suggesting that some sort of wrong-doing happened at the FBI in the course of the ever-expanding investigations into how Russia meddled in American politics.

The Republicans on the House Intelligence panel have voted to release a memo which suggests abuse of government surveillance power; a move rejected by Democrats on the same committee, who say the memo cherry-picks evidence and is very selective in its analysis.

Adding that special counsel Robert Mueller is a separate investigation that must proceed, Speaker Paul Ryan says they are following the oversight process.
