Compromise needed to deal with DACA recipients - Speaker Ryan

Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives is cautiously optimistic the U.S. Congress can find a legislative solution for the DACA recipients.

DACA - deferred action for childhood arrivals - allowed the children of undocumented adults to obtain work and study permits, a program the Trump administration rescinded.

Speaker Ryan wants to find a solution for these young people, but says the original program was not constitutional.

THERESA MAY: EU SHOULD MOVE ONTO TRADE TALKS SOON

UK Prime Minister Theresa May is urging EU negotiators to move quickly onto trade talks with Britain as it prepares to leave the bloc.

But Theresa May says it will benefit the EU to press ahead with talks on future trading arrangements.
