UK MPs TO VOTE ON BREXIT DIVORCE DEAL

UK MPs will vote later (approx 1430G) on the Withdrawal Agreement which would take Britain out of the EU.

It's been separated from the Political Declaration part of Prime Minister Theresa May's deal with Brussels.

She says voting in favour of the divorce terms later is crucial to ensuring Britain doesn't need a lengthy Brexit delay.

Mrs May's considered unlikely to win the vote, which opposition Labour says is 'desperate'.

Joe Owen is from the Institute For Government.

South Korea says Moon and Trump will hold a summit on April 11th in Washington.

It's their first meeting since Trump and Kim Jong-un failed to reach a deal at their summit in Hanoi last month.

Washington remains positive about talks with Kim.

And Moon has been a strong supporter of Trump and Kim meeting face-to-face.

But a North Korean official recently said Pyongyang's considering suspending talks.

But that's unlikely to happen soon.

The group also says it's now suspending operations because of unwanted media attention.

This week, it claimed to have raided the North Korea Embassy in Spain.

According to a Spanish court document, the group assaulted embassy staff.

The court identified some members of the group as American, Mexican and South Korean.

Seoul hasn't commented about the raid or any of the members reportedly involved.

MAY PUSHES FOR BREXIT DEAL SUPPORT

UK Prime Minister Theresa May is launching a new push for support for her Brexit deal - having promised to quit if it goes through.

A number of lawmakers in her Conservative Party say they will now back her Withdrawal Agreement so a new leader can take over the next phase of negotiations.

But the DUP of Northern Ireland - which props up Mrs May's government in Westminster - says it can't currently vote for her plan.

On Thursday MPs failed to coalesce around other possible Brexit options.

Conservative MP Bob Seeley believes Theresa May's deal can eventually succeed in the House of Commons.
