EXPLAINER: For UK and EU, Brexit has become a messy divorce

When Britons voted for Brexit in 2016, they were promised a smooth transition to a new economic relationship with the European Union. But I also did divorces as a lawyer, and itโ€™s always difficult.โ€The messy EU-U.K. divorce has been years in the making. โ€œBrexit was a mandate to leave the European Union. May eventually resigned in defeat after her Brexit deal was rejected by Parliament three times. For British Brexit supporters, controlling the nationโ€™s waters is essential.

UK's Johnson to head to Brussels amid Brexit talks deadlock

Johnsonโ€™s predecessor, Theresa May, came time and again to negotiate a Brexit deal, only to see it repeatedly rejected by her own Parliament, ending her top-level career. Johnson will be hoping for a quick in-and-out that leaves his reputation intact and his country on course for a free trade deal with its biggest economic partner. Johnson and von der Leyen spoke by phone Monday for the second time in 48 hours, as their negotiators were stuck in gridlocked trade talks. Officials on both sides said there were also major differences over the legal oversight of any trade deal and European boatsโ€™ access to U.K. waters. While both Britain and the EU say they want a trade deal, trust and goodwill are strained after months of testy negotiations.

AP Explains: Why are UK and EU still arguing over Brexit?

Her successor, Johnson, secured his own withdrawal agreement with the EU in October 2019, allowing for the U.K. to leave on Jan. 31. The two sides are hoping to agree a free trade deal with no tariffs and no quotas. So it is demanding strict legal guarantees on the governance of any trade deal. The EU fears Britain will slash social and environmental standards and pump state money into U.K. industries, becoming a low-regulation economic rival on the blocโ€™s doorstep. As well as the economic impact, a no-deal exit would endanger everything from U.K. police forcesโ€™ access to EU crime databases to U.K.-EU cooperation in science.

Lives Lost: London rabbi worked to end community's isolation

โ€œHe served as a bridge in a broader sense,โ€ณ said Chaya Spitz, a protege of Pinter's and CEO of an umbrella organization for Orthodox Jewish charities. For instance, students arenโ€™t taught about human reproduction because the Orthodox community believes the topic is one best handled at home. While some in his Jewish community considered him a dangerous modernist, many in the broader society saw him as a crazy extremist, Cohen said. After seeing the situation for himself, Pinter went back to London and raised 5,000 pounds ($6,500) for the migrants. โ€œWhen he died I thought, โ€˜Thatโ€™s Rabbi Pinter, at least he could look at his wife and say that he did his homework,โ€™โ€ณ Glasman said.

EU to UK: stop playing 'games' with Brexit trade talks

(Aris Oikonomou, Pool via AP)BRUSSELS โ€“ The European Union is pleading with Britain to stop playing โ€œgames" as time is running out to clinch a free trade deal over the next month. A transition period now runs until Dec 31, during which time both sides are negotiating a trade agreement to replace the open and unfettered economic relations that are currently in place. The EU has repeatedly expressed its exasperation at what it sees as British stubbornness and refusal to compromise on some key points. The EU has not explicitly said what action it would take but EU Vice President Maros Sefcovic indicated it would stay within the rules of dispute settlement set out in the withdrawal agreement. โ€œI would like to underscore that the EU believes in calm, constructive cooperation through the channels created by the withdrawal agreement," Sefcovic said.

UK will let international university students stay longer

Matt Cardy/Getty Images(CNN) - International students will be offered a two-year UK visa after graduation with or without a job, the country's Home Office announced Wednesday, reversing one of the major aspects of former Prime Minister Theresa May "hostile environment" strategy. "That's why we're unveiling a new route for international students to unlock their potential and start their careers in the UK," he said. The new policy applies to international students at the undergraduate level or above, and to trusted institutions with a track record of upholding immigration checks, the Home Office said in a statement. Wednesday's announcement was well-received among lawmakers and business groups who have argued that international graduates provided value to the British economy.

What suspending UK Parliament means for Brexit

CNN(CNN) - Opponents of a no-deal Brexit just got royally outflanked. Johnson's plan is for Parliament to be wound up at the end of next week.

Because even if Johnson loses a confidence vote next week, he still holds all the cards. All in all, Johnson, seems very pleased with himself, pointing out that under his plan, Parliament will be sitting in the run-up to Brexit and the whole affair is perfectly in order.

Brexit: Boris Johnson asks queen to suspend UK Parliament

LONDON - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has asked the Queen to suspend the UK Parliament from mid-September, a move that would shorten the time available to lawmakers to block a no-deal Brexit. Parliament would be "prorogued" until October 14, the Prime Minister said in a statement. "We need to get on with our domestic agenda and that is why we are announcing a Queen's Speech for October 14," Johnson. But his "do or die"' position on Brexit has prompted a number of UK opposition party leaders to agree on a strategy to avert a no-deal Brexit on Tuesday. While bringing down his government wouldn't automatically stop a no-deal Brexit, it could trigger a series of events that leads to him requesting a Brexit extension.

Boris Johnson will be UK's new Prime Minister

(CNN) - Hardline Brexiteer Boris Johnson has won the UK's Conservative Party leadership contest and will take over from outgoing Prime Minister Theresa May when she steps down on Wednesday. Outgoing British Prime Minister Theresa May -- who Johnson has long been a critic of -- tweeted her congratulations to the new party leader, promising him her "full support." Top of Johnson's agenda as new prime minister will be resolving the Brexit deadlock, where his predecessor failed. As prime minister, Johnson, 55, will inherit the same problems of a deeply divided Parliament -- and nation -- when he assumes the role. And last week, both the Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond and Justice Secretary David Gauke confirmed they will step down before Johnson becomes prime minister.
