BBC World Service - Newshour, Britain Embarks on EU Withdrawal

British PM says 'No turning back' on Brexit as Article 50 triggered

British PM says 'No turning back' on Brexit as Article 50 triggered.

As Britain filed for divorce from the EU, European leaders have rejected British Prime Minister Theresa May's plan for parallel talks on withdrawing and forming a new relationship. The German chancellor Angela Merkel said the EU must first work out how to extricate Britain from commitments built up during forty-four years of membership.
