UK Government forced to publish legal advice on Brexit

The British Government has been forced to publish its legal advice on Brexit, after it was found in contempt of Parliament for refusing to do so.


The six page document indicates that the UK could be trapped indefinitely in a backstop arrangement, where it would be outside of the EU but inside the bloc's customs union - something that has raised many concerns among politicians.


UK Correspondent Natalie Powell reports.

Bruce Harrison reports from Seoul.


Trade officials will meet in Beijing for a 14th round of talks on a trilateral deal.


Officials in Seoul say they hope to open up goods and services markets and lower trade barriers with China and Japan.


Exporters here would get hit hard by a full-out trade war between China and the U.S.


But despite years of talks, politics and differences on how much to open markets have kept Seoul and its neighbors from striking a deal.


South Korea is increasingly looking to Southeast Asia as an export destination.

US Announces Withdrawal from INF Treaty

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told his NATO allies that America will be pulling out of the INF Treaty within 60 days unless Russia falls into compliance.

The US and NATO say Russia has developed a ground base missile system that violate the 1987 treaty that kept an entire class of medium range, nuclear capable missiles out of the hands of Russia and the US. 

As our Europe Correspondent Kevin Ozebek reports from Brussels, there's little hope at NATO that Russia will destroy the missile system that violates the treaty.

MAY UNDER PRESSURE AFTER BREXIT DEFEATS

UK MPs are debating Theresa May's Brexit deal for a second day with security the theme.

It comes after British lawmakers defeated the government in three key votes on Brexit on Tuesday.

Mrs May is trying to sell the deal she's reached with Brussels on Britain's exit from the EU, ahead of a crunch vote on it in Parliament on Tuesday.

Former Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab says if, as expected, she loses that vote, she should re-launch negotiations.
