Theresa May will plead with MPs for more time to renegotiate the Irish backstop in her Brexit deal. The prime minister will promise MPs another vote in parliament on other Brexit options if she hasn't secured the deal by the end of February. Labour is seeking to ensure that May is held to her word, and have tabled an amendment which — if passed this week — would guarantee a fresh vote is held by the end of the month.

LONDON — Theresa May will plead with MPs for more time to renegotiate the Irish backstop in her Brexit deal.

May is due to report back to MPs this week on the progress of her attempts to make last minute-changes to her EU exit plan.

Narratives about modernity

If we give an isolated community access to the internet, very quickly, the quality of life will improve. Time will be saved, research into proven solutions will produce value, and people will become connected to a larger population. Those connections will lead to productivity and learning. And, then, soon thereafter, they will become less happy. Not because they’re worse off, but because the dominant media narratives that arrive exist to make them feel insufficient, inadequate or simply jealous at how green the grass is over there. Our narrative defeats our surroundings, every time.

Experts tell us how coronavirus will weaken China's position as a global trade partner — and endanger its phase-one deal with the US

Kevin Lamarque/Reuters The coronavirus is jeopardizing China's ability to meet obligations it agreed to as part of the phase-one trade deal with the US.

The pandemic also delays the face-to-face meetings needed to coordinate such large purchases, said Mary Lovely, an economics professor at Syracuse University.
