ARMED OFFICER AT PARKLAND SHOOTING FAILED TO INTERVENE

It's emerged that an armed officer assigned to the Florida school where a fatal shooting took place last week was outside the building as the incident unfolded.

Deputy Scot Peterson was on campus, in uniform, and armed, but did not intervene.

He was suspended after the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School which left 17 dead and has now resigned.

It comes after US President Donald Trump suggested arming some teachers could prevent further school shootings.

Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel says he is 'devastated' by the armed officer's conduct.

UK MINISTERS 'AGREE' BREXIT STRATEGY

UK Prime Minister Theresa May's senior ministers have reportedly moved towards consensus on the type of Brexit deal Britain should seek from the EU.

After marathon talks at the Prime Minister's country retreat, it's reported ministers broadly agreed the UK should seek sufficient 'divergence' from the EU's rules and regulations.

But the UK would promise to stick closely to EU standards to ensure frictionless trade.

It remains to be seen whether cabinet unity will hold or whether EU negotiators would agree to such an arrangement.

But Cabinet Office Minister David Lidington believes ministers will be able to stick together.
