(Global Edition) From the BBC World Service…A big lunch in Brussels: U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May meets with two key EU leaders to see if her country’s made enough progress to get Brexit to its next crucial step. Afterwards, we’ll take a look at an extradition hearing for India’s liquor and airline baron, Vijay Mallya, known for his gold watches, calendar girls and poolside parties. Then, a conversation about why there’s little economic incentive to give up conflict, which escalated over the weekend, in Yemen.
