Summary
European leaders nixed Theresa May’s request to postpone Brexit for three months, but have given her a short-term reprieve - delaying it by a few weeks and possibly longer. Thailand is about to hold its first election since the military seized power five years ago.

The answer lies in dance music. We take a sip. Additional music, "Grangtham (Drowning Dub)" by Hanover.<hr /><p style="color: grey; font-size: 0.75em;"> Hosted on Acast.
