Brexit: Theresa May to meet Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron

(UTV|COLOMBO) – Theresa May is to hold last-minute Brexit talks with the leaders of Germany and France later, four days before the UK is due to leave the EU.

Mrs May is meeting Angela Merkel in Berlin, followed by Emmanuel Macron in Paris, to urge them to back her request to delay Brexit again until 30 June.

The prime minister will be at an emergency summit on Wednesday when all 28 EU states will vote on an extension.

Cross-party talks aimed at breaking the impasse are also set to continue.

The UK is currently due to leave the EU at 23:00 BST on Friday.

So far, MPs have rejected the withdrawal agreement Theresa May reached with other European leaders last year.
