Seoul's defense ministry says North Korea cleared 636 landmines.


The deal to remove landmines from the Joint Security Area, where the two Koreas meet for talks, is part of a broader agreement to demilitarize much of the DMZ.


South Korea also removed landmines on its side of the neutral zone and says it can no longer detect any there.


The North and South also began demolishing concrete guard posts on both sides of the border this week.


The U.S. has raised concerned about the pace of Korean cooperation. Seoul maintains the steps are needed to ease military tensions.

BREXIT DEAL STILL ELUSIVE

UK Prime Minister Theresa May hasn't made enough progress on a Brexit agreement with the EU to hold an emergency cabinet meeting on the issue on Monday.

Negotiations continue, with a solution to the Irish border backstop issue still elusive.

Theresa May's hoping to make a breakthrough within days that she can put to her cabinet, with a view to an EU summit to finalise a Brexit deal later this month.

However, it's reported several cabinet members are considering resigning, with many not believing Mrs May will be able to get whatever agreement she reaches through Parliament.

Opposition Brexit spokesman Keir Starmer says Labour is unlikely to back the Prime Minister's deal.
