UK's Lords condemns Brexit bill as UK-EU talks stay stalled
Britains foreign minister says there are only narrow differences remaining in trade talks between the U.K. and the European Union. The U.K. government says the bill is needed as an insurance policy to ensure smooth trade among all parts of the U.K. no matter what happens after Brexit. The legislation has soured talks between Britain and the EU on a new trade deal. U.K.-EU talks ground to a halt last week, with each side calling for the other to compromise in order to secure agreement. He told British businesses to prepare for a no-deal economic break with the EU at the end of the year.
Report: Domestic extremists killed at least 42 in 2019
(AP Photo/Cedar Attanasio, File)White supremacists and other far-right extremists killed at least 38 people in the U.S. in 2019, the sixth deadliest year for violence by all domestic extremists since 1970, according to a report issued Wednesday by a group that fights anti-semitism. The ADLโs annual Murder and Extremism report says domestic extremists of all kinds killed 42 people in a total of 17 separate incidents last year, down from 53 killings in 2018 but higher than the 41 in 2017. "This is part of a general trend of increasingly lethal attacks by domestic extremists in the United States," the report says. Right-wing extremists killed at least 330 people over the past decade, accounting for 76% of all domestic extremist-related killings. Fourteen of the 17 cases of killings by domestic extremists last year involved a single death, the ADL says.
