MAY HOSTS BREXIT CABINET MEETING AS 'NO DEAL' LOOMS

UK Prime Minister Theresa May is trying to secure the support of her cabinet with fears Britain is headed for a 'no deal' Brexit.

Her cabinet meeting to discuss strategy comes with the EU warning a 'no deal' scenario is more likely than every.

Mrs May is due to address EU leaders in Brussels on Wednesday, with significant distance between the the two sides over a 'backstop' solution for the Irish border issue.

She insists a deal can still be done by the end of this year - but former Brexit minister David Jones believes the Prime Minister has not been tough enough.

North, South Korea push for opening cross-border rails, roads

North and South Korea have agreed to hold a launch ceremony later this year on a project to open roads and rails between their countries. They hope to begin inspecting cross-border routes that have sat idle for years.

The push to modernize and connect the transportation routes is a key goal South Korean President Moon Jae-in and leader Kim Jong-un agreed on at their third summit last month.


Seoul says it hopes to begin inspections of North Korea's rails and roads this month. The two Koreas then hope to hold a groundbreaking ceremony for their road and rail project in late November or December.


Seoul said it would consult with the United Nations Command about the inspections. But in August, the command blocked South Korean trains from entering the North to survey its rail lines.


There are concerns the transportation upgrades could lead to violations of international sanctions against North Korea's economy.
