EU countries have signalled they might accept a delay to Brexit as British prime minister Theresa May began cross-party talks on how to avoid a no-deal outcome.

A large majority rejected an amendment which would have called on the ECB to "put an end to the president's membership of the G30".

A trade deal with Morocco was endorsed by the European Parliament but is likely to end up challenged at the European Court of Justice in Strasbourg.

In an apparent effort to help the British PM build some form of coalition with opposition MPs for a Brexit deal, EU negotiator Michel Barnier said the bloc was ready to talk about the future relations part of the deal.

Germany's domestic spy agency, the BfV, is to start monitoring the far-right AfD party in a move endorsed by the government, but decried as a witch-hunt by the party's leaders.

If the European parliament votes in favour of the new Morocco agreement without knowing that it complies with the European Court of Justice judgement, how can it demand that other countries respect international law and their own courts?
