UK PM MAY FIGHTING FOR POLITICAL LIFE

UK Prime Minister Theresa May is fighting to hold onto her job long enough before British MPs head off on their summer recess.

On Tuesday her government won a crucial Brexit vote in the House of Commons on customs arrangements with the EU.

That could in turn lead to a change in Prime Minister and a general election - all while the UK is trying to negotiate Brexit with the EU.

Mrs May's former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson is also due to deliver what could be an explosive statement on his resignation in the House of Commons later.

Trump accepts US intelligence on Russia, denies collusion

U.S. President Trump says he has the greatest respect for America's intelligence agencies and is prepared to accept allegations of Russian meddling in the U.S. elections- but not that he had colluded with Moscow.

His critics accused him of making America look weak, and for apologizing for the U.S.
