Reuters: Brexit set for delay after May wounded by rejection of 'no-deal'
LONDON (Reuters) - The British parliament on Wednesday rejected leaving the European Union without a deal, further weakening Prime Minister Theresa May and paving the way for a vote that could delay Brexit until at least the end of June.
After a day of high drama, MPs defied the government by voting 321 to 278 in favour of a motion that ruled out a potentially disorderly “no-deal” Brexit under any circumstances.
It went further than the government’s position of keeping the threat of a “no-deal” Brexit on the negotiating table — a stance many in her party said was essential to push Brussels to make further concessions to the deal they have rejected.

South Korean singer quits as K-pop sex scandal widens.
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/03/south-korean-singer-quits-pop-sex-scandal-widens-190313080427426.html
"A burgeoning K-pop sex scandal claimed a second scalp as a singer who rose to fame after coming second in one of South Korea's top talent shows admitted secretly filming himself having sex and sharing the footage.
Jung Joon-young, 30, announced his immediate retirement from show business amid allegations he shot and shared sexual imagery without his partners' consent.
"I admit to all my crimes," he said.
"I filmed women without their consent and shared it in a chatroom, and did such behaviour without feeling any sense of guilt," he added in a statement released late on Tuesday."
