Key words : British prime asked
https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20191020_13/
The British prime minister has asked the European Union for another delay to the country's planned departure from the bloc after the UK parliament postponed a vote on his Brexit deal with the EU.
Boris Johnson made the request on Saturday in a letter sent without his signature to European Council President Donald Tusk.
But a second letter that accompanied the request had Johnson's signature. It expresses his confidence that the UK will leave the EU by the current deadline of October 31, saying that "a further extension would damage the interests" of the UK and its EU partners.
Critics have blasted Johnson's move.
Tusk tweeted that he "will now start consulting EU leaders on how to react" to the extension request.
The request came after the UK parliament passed an amendment motion earlier on Saturday to withhold a vote on the new Brexit deal until legislation to implement it is in place. The motion was submitted by cross-party MPs.
Johnson was obliged to file the request by law if he failed to gain parliamentary approval for the new Brexit deal by Saturday.
The prime minister now seems ready to expedite a process to enact necessary legislation to have the UK leave the EU by October 31. He will likely try again to put his Brexit deal to a parliamentary vote on Monday.

A recent study has found that close to 80 percent of those diagnosed with cancer in their late teens, 20s and 30s in Japan are women.
The National Center for Child Health and Development and the National Cancer Center Japan gathered data from more than 800 hospitals across the country. They analyzed the data of patients who were diagnosed with cancer in 2016 and 2017.
There were 57,788 cancer patients in that age group. Of them, 44,946, or about 78 percent, were women.
That is significantly different from the situation with older generations, in which the majority of cancer patients are men.
About 35 percent of cancer patients of that age group were diagnosed as being in the early stages of cervical cancer or breast cancer.
Kimikazu Matsumoto of the National Center for Child Health and Development noted that many female patients in that age group are busy with work and family.
He said that medical services and a support system designed for them are needed.

A new form of traditional Japanese puppetry is being performed at New York's Lincoln Center.
Artist Hiroshi Sugimoto is presenting a contemporary interpretation of the classic play "The Love Suicides at Sonezaki." The drama was hugely popular in the Edo Period in the early 18th century.
The production featured new music played by Living National Treasure Seiji Tsurusawa on a 3-stringed shamisen.
The play has won praise in Japan and in Europe.
About 1,000 people were at the theater on Saturday to see the puppet show. It will run for 4 days as part of an event introducing Japanese art and culture.
The audience watched as the puppets moved delicately to the music. Video images by artist Tabaimo were projected onto the backdrop of the stage.
Sugimoto says he wants people to know the precision of traditional Japanese puppets and be surprised to see how people's feelings can be expressed accurately through them.
