Britain and the European Union has made good progress in talks about Brexit and a deal is still within grasp so Britain can leave the bloc as planned on March 29, Prime Minister Theresa May said. “We still have it within our grasp to leave the European Union with a deal on the 29th of March,” May said. “We’ve had good progress, constructive discussions with the European Union.” May said further meetings in Brussels on securing changes to the deal ruled out a so-called meaningful vote in parliament this week.

Prime Minister Theresa May put off a vote in parliament on her Brexit deal until as late as March 12 – just 17 days before Britain is due to leave the EU – setting up a showdown this week with MPs who accuse her of running out the clock. As the Brexit crisis goes down to the wire, May said a so-called “meaningful vote” would not take place this week as expected. Parliament will still hold a series of Brexit votes on Wednesday, but May’s deal itself will not be on the table. On her way to an EU-Middle East…

China would welcome a visit by Britain’s finance minister Philip Hammond, the Chinese foreign ministry said, a day after the minister had said talk of deploying a British warship in the Pacific had complicated bilateral relations. As Britain prepares to leave the European Union at the end of next month, its biggest foreign and trade policy shift in more than 40 years, it is seeking to strengthen diplomatic relationships and trade ties with countries around the world. British media reported that China had cancelled trade talks with Hammond because it was upset about Williamson’s speech.

The key to securing a Brexit deal the British government can get through parliament is to define more precisely the “temporary” nature of the Irish backstop, British Foreign Secretary Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said. The backstop, an arrangement to avoid a hard border between European Union member Ireland and British-ruled Northern Ireland after Brexit, has become the main point of contention in the proposed Brexit deal. Hunt was speaking at a news conference after meeting Germany’s Foreign Minister Heiko Maas in Berlin.

All automakers in Britain will have to find ways make Brexit work, even if only in the short term. Famed luxury marque Aston Martin and Vauxhall, Britain’s brand for everyman, are as different as two auto companies can be. Both companies have significant British manufacturing operations and thousands of jobs are at stake. For Aston Martin, which sells sports cars at prices well above 100,000 pounds ($130,380), new European tariffs on British-built cars are not a significant concern, Palmer said. Like other smaller players such as Bentley, Rolls-Royce and McLaren, Aston has much larger margins on its cars and extra…

Alphabet subsidiary Google are paying big money to remain the default search engine across Apple devices. Last year, the company paid out around $9.4 billion to Apple, according to Goldman Sachs analyst Rod Hall. That number will increase to about $12 billion this year. Apple generated $39.5 billion in services revenue last year. Google’s $9.4 billion in traffic acquisition costs paid out to Apple made up for nearly 25% of that revenue.

Britain’s competition regulator said Sainsbury’s planned $9.5 billion (£7.2 billion) takeover of Walmart-owned Asda should either be blocked or require the sale of a significant number of stores, or even one of the brands. In a major blow to the company’s’ plans to create Britain’s biggest supermarket group, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said its current view was that it was “likely to be difficult for the companies to address the concerns it has identified.” The (CMA) said it may block the deal or force the sale of several stores or even one of the brand names. Chief executive…

May made her prediction whilst facing another Brexit-related issue. Her opposing lawmakers sought to force May’s government to publish legal information regarding the UK’s…

A cyber attack on Australian lawmakers that breached the networks of major political parties was probably carried out by a foreign government, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said but did not name any suspects. As Australia heads for an election due by May, lawmakers were told this month to urgently change their passwords after the cyber intelligence agency detected an attack on the national parliament’s computer network. The hackers breached the networks of major political parties, Morrison said, as he issued an initial assessment by investigators.
