Page 12 The Skanner June 22, 2016 News LONDON (AP) — When Britain de- cides on Thursday whether to leave the European Union, London’s voice may prove decisive. But for which side? Britain’s capital, home to almost 9 million people, encompasses some of the most pro-EU places in the country — and the least. In the cosmopolitan City inancial district, where almost half a million people from around the globe work in Europe’s biggest inancial center, pro- EU sentiment predominates. But just a few miles away the borough of Haver- ing, stronghold of working-class East Enders, topped a national survey of the most anti-EU places in Britain. The two districts represent the op- posing views at the heart of Britain’s EU debate. One sees the bloc’s free low of people and money as a beneit. The other sees it as a threat. Fishmonger David Crosbie, working on a drizzly morning in Havering’s out- door Romford Market, is an emphat- ic “leave” supporter. For Crosbie, the decision has a lot to do with borders, on land and sea. He says he is tired of European ishermen trawling waters around Britain under the EU’s Com- mon Fisheries Policy. North Korea makes apparent progress with midrange missile SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Ko- rea took a signiicant step Wednesday in the development of a powerful bal- listic missile intended to reach U.S. bas- es in the Paciic, launching one of the weapons about 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) high ater ive failed attempts in recent months.

Dump Trump Movement Preparing to Fight WASHINGTON (AP) — The “dump Trump” movement is gaining follow- ers among delegates to next month’s Republican National Convention, an ef- fort that could tarnish Donald Trump’s coronation even if it ultimately fails. Several hundred Republican dele- gates are organizing to oppose Trump at the convention. That’s not enough delegates to topple Trump. But it’s more than enough to create turmoil at an event that is typically used to bring a political party together in support of a presidential candidate. “If Trump is the nominee, we truly believe it’s the end of our party,” said Kendal Unruh, a Colorado delegate who is leading the efort to dump Trump. “We’re trying to save the party.” There could be loor ights over con- vention rules and the party’s platform. And instead of a coronation, the roll call to nominate Trump could be an op- portunity for delegates to voice their displeasure on national television. The Wake of Vanport Series Workshop Join the production team and learn video production for FREE!
