MAY STANDS BY BREXIT DEAL

UK Prime Minister Theresa May says she won't reopen negotiations with Brussels over the Brexit deal she agreed last week.

Some of her own cabinet ministers are pressing for changes to the Withdrawal Agreement ahead of an EU summit to sign it off this weekend.

Theresa May could still face a vote of confidence this week if enough of her MPs submit letters calling for her to be removed as leader.

Bernard Jenkin MP says he hasn't yet written one.

South Korea's Unification Ministry says it's still preparing for the trip.


Leader Kim Jong-un promised President Moon Jae-in he'd visit Seoul within the year.


But delays in U.S.-North Korea talks have led to speculation the trip may be postponed.


Moon's government has been questioning whether a fourth Moon-Kim summit should come before or after Kim and President Donald Trump meet for a second time.


Trump's government says he'll meet Kim again after the new year.

Devotees continue to obstruct entry of women at Indian temple

In the Indian state of Kerala, thousands of male devotees have continued to obstruct the entry of women into an 800-year-old temple. 

Earlier this year, the country's highest court ruled that a centuries old tradition that keeps women of menstruating age out is a violation of the fundamental rights of women. Devotees claim that preventing the entry of women is essential since the temple's chief deity is celibate.

She insists the draft Brexit deal is right for the country - and has used a national radio phone-in to say she thinks she can get MPs to back it in a parliamentary vote.
