Brexit Breakthrough: EU and U.K. Reach Agreement on Brexit But Ireland’s Democratic Unionist Party Still Says No (Bloomberg)

Without the DUP’s support, the parliamentary arithmetic gets a lot tighter for Boris Johnson, who needs the backing of the House of Commons in a vote expected Saturday in order to deliver an orderly Brexit on October 31.

Johnson needs to pick up roughly 61 votes from a pool of about 75 deputies who might be persuaded to join him — that will involve persuading hold-outs in his own party to side with him rather than the DUP. It’s the final, treacherous hurdle for the U.K. leader to clear before he can complete his ambition of leading Britain out of the EU.

Pelosi told reporters in the White House driveway afterward: “What we witnessed on the part of the president was a meltdown — sad to say.”

First on Bloomberg: Trump-Erdogan April Call Led to Lengthy Quest to Avoid Halkbank Trial (Bloomberg)

In an April phone call, Trump told Erdogan that William Barr and Steven Mnuchin would deal with the Turkish President’s repeated pleas to avoid charges against one of Turkey’s largest banks. In the months that followed, no action was taken against Halkbank for its alleged involvement in a massive scheme to evade sanctions on Iran. That changed when an undated indictment was unveiled Tuesday.

“This really is amazing technology. You can open your phone just by waving at it. No one’s ever had this technology! Except for the front door of a Walgreens, I have never seen it before!”
— Trevor Noah

“You know what’s weird is, how the way we unlock our phones is evolving. Because first we had to type in a code. And then we just had to pick it up and look at it. Now, we can just wave at it without touching it. It feels like we’re slowly breaking up with our phone. It’s almost like the next phone will let you unlock it by telling it “it’s not you, it’s me”.”
