UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has reiterated he is “confident” the UK “will prosper” outside the EU if a post-Brexit trade deal is not agreed with the bloc.

Talks began again in Brussels on 16 November, with the UK’s chief negotiator saying there had been “progress”.

Lord David Frost told reporters: “We’re working very hard to get a deal but there’s quite a lot to do.”

His EU counterpart, Michel Barnier, said he wanted “future cooperation to be open but fair” with the UK.

Tweeting as talks started, he added: “We remain determined, patient, respectful.”
Sticking points between the two sides focus on competition rules and state aid for businesses, as well as fishing rights.

Case of alleged gang rape at Cornell University in US reopened | BBC News

Published

on



New York state prosecutors say they will reopen a criminal inquiry into the alleged rape of a woman at Cornell University in 2024.

The woman filed a civil lawsuit on 16 September alleging she was drugged and raped by multiple people at a fraternity house at the university.

“Once we determine the appropriate charges, the case will be prosecuted in the most objective and impartial means possible” through a grand jury, Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten said Monday.

Cornell University said that while it supported the case being brought before a grand jury, “any suggestion that the university did not impose consequential punishments for those involved is false”.

Published

Every morning Igor Smelyansky looks at a vast map of Ukraine on his office wall and decides where he should put his people in harm’s way.

His aides provide him with live intelligence about Russian attacks and he deploys his teams, balancing their potential operational success against risk to life or limb.

But Smelyansky is no military commander. He is the head of Ukraine’s state postal service, Ukrposhta.

The BBC’s James Landale follows the postal workers who are risking their lives.
