UK GOVT MAKES ECONOMIC CASE FOR BREXIT DEAL

The UK government's releasing analysis which claims the country's economy would lose tens of billions of dollars in output in a no-deal Brexit scenario.

The forecasts suggest the deal reached by Theresa May and the EU would leave the UK economy significantly healthier - but smaller than if Britain stayed in the bloc.

It comes as Theresa May and her ministers attempt to sell the government's Brexit deal to the nation ahead of a parliamentary vote on December 11th.

Chancellor Philip Hammond says if she loses that vote, it's hard to predict what happens next.

South Korea says the survey will last 18 days as proposed by North Korea.


The inspection will cover 12-hundred kilometers of North Korea's railroads.


During peace talks this year, North and South Korea said they hope to connect their railways across the border by the end of the year.


But any railroad exchanges would likely be banned under international sanctions against North Korea.


The United Nations has approved a sanctions exemption but for just the survey.


And that came after months of delays.
