Nexit, Frexit or Italeave? British vote fires up EU's 'Outers' Posted: 24 Jun 2016 01:53 PM PDT By Dominic Evans and Marton Dunai LONDON/BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Britain's vote to leave the European Union fired up populist eurosceptic parties across the continent on Friday, giving fresh voice to their calls to leave the bloc or its euro currency. Right-wing and anti-immigrant parties in the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and France demanded referendums on membership of the union, while Italy's 5-Star movement said it would pursue its own proposal for a vote on the euro. Geert Wilders, leader of the Dutch anti-immigrant PVV party, said he would make a Dutch referendum on EU membership a central theme of his campaign to become prime minister in next year's parliamentary election.

New Scotland independence referendum 'highly likely': Sturgeon Posted: 24 Jun 2016 07:04 AM PDT By Elisabeth O'Leary EDINBURGH (Reuters) - A second Scottish independence referendum is "highly likely", First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said on Friday, raising the prospect that the United Kingdom could tear itself apart after voting to leave the European Union. Scotland, a nation of five million people, voted decisively to stay in the EU by 62 to 38 percent in a referendum on Thursday, putting it at odds with the United Kingdom as a whole, which voted 52-48 in favor of an exit from the EU, or Brexit. "As things stand, Scotland faces the prospect of being taken out of the EU against her will.

German officials warn against EU "revenge" for UK Brexit vote Posted: 24 Jun 2016 02:54 PM PDT The 27 countries left in the European Union after Britain's vote to leave should refrain from taking revenge, but focus on building consensus in areas such as security, migration and economic growth, German officials said Friday. German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier told the ZDF television station there was hard work ahead negotiating the terms of Britain's exit, but European leaders were committed to charting a new course that tackled high rates of youth unemployment and other issues raised through the UK referendum. Steinmeier said he told EU foreign ministers at a meeting in Luxembourg on Friday to focus on rebuilding a strong Europe, not hashing through differences with Britain.

EU's Tusk says 27 EU leaders determined to keep unity after Brexit Posted: 24 Jun 2016 12:41 AM PDT European Union leaders are determined to keep the unity of the EU after Britain voted to leave the 28-nation bloc, the chairman of the leaders Donald Tusk said on Friday, noting the EU had been prepared for such an outcome. "What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger," Tusk told reporters in a statement. Tusk said there was no way to predict all the political consequences of the vote, especially for Britain, but that it is not a moment for "hysterical reactions." "Today, on behalf of the 27 leaders I can say that we are determined to keep our unity as 27," Tusk said.

'Brexit' threatens to undermine U.S.-Britain special relationship Posted: 24 Jun 2016 01:40 PM PDT By Matt Spetalnick and Yara Bayoumy WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Britain's decision to quit the European Union could send damaging shockwaves through the bedrock Anglo-American "special relationship," raising questions about London's willingness and ability to back U.S.-led efforts in global crises ranging from the Middle East to Ukraine. The loss of the strongest pro-U.S. voice within the 28-nation bloc, as a result of the "Brexit" referendum, threatens to weaken Washington's influence in European policymaking and embolden Russian President Vladimir Putin to further challenge the West, analysts and former diplomats say. Britain's departure -- which is not immediate and must be negotiated with the EU -- could present the next U.S. president with a decision on whether to turn to other key European partners like Germany and France, essentially downgrading a special U.S. bond with London forged in World War Two.

England skipper Morgan elated by 'remarkable' run chase Posted: 24 Jun 2016 05:48 PM PDT England captain Eoin Morgan hailed a "remarkable" run chase after his side hammered Sri Lanka by 10 wickets to win Friday's second one-day international at Edgbaston. Unbeaten hundreds from Jason Roy (112 not out) and Alex Hales (133 not out) took England to a target of 255 with nearly 16 overs to spare. Both openers made their highest ODI scores as England finished on 256 without loss to go 1-0 up in the five-match series following Tuesday's dramatic tie at Trent Bridge.

Top Asian News 12:43 a.m. GMT Posted: 24 Jun 2016 05:43 PM PDT PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — The top North Korean official for U.S. relations told The Associated Press on Friday that his country is now a nuclear threat to be reckoned with, and Washington can expect more nuclear tests and missile launches like the ones earlier this week as long as it attempts to force his government's collapse through a policy of pressure and punishment.

Exclusive: Google, Facebook quietly move toward automatic blocking of extremist videos Posted: 24 Jun 2016 05:32 PM PDT By Joseph Menn and Dustin Volz SAN FRANCISCO/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Some of the web's biggest destinations for watching videos have quietly started using automation to remove extremist content from their sites, according to two people familiar with the process.

YouTube and Facebook are among the sites deploying systems to block or rapidly take down Islamic State videos and other similar material, the sources said.

I can't score without chances, says Kane of Euro 2016 Posted: 24 Jun 2016 03:15 PM PDT England striker Harry Kane laid bare his team's attacking problems on Friday when he said that he has not had one clear scoring opportunity at Euro 2016. The Tottenham Hotspur striker started England's first two games in the tournament, against Russia and Wales, but was substituted at half-time against Wales and played only 14 minutes of the 0-0 draw with Slovakia. Kane therefore faces a fight for a starting place in Monday's last 16 game against Iceland in Nice, but he does not believe that he has been given a chance to prove how clinical he can be in front of goal.
