His French counterpart Jean-Marc Ayrault urged quick negotiations on Britain’s exit from the union, saying that the pressure would be “very strong” on British Prime Minister David Cameron at an EU summit on Tuesday to speed up the process.

Cameron, who on Friday announced his resignation by October in the wake of the referendum, said it should be his successor who leads the complex negotiations under Article 50 of the EU’s Lisbon Treaty which sets out a two-year timeframe to leave. Steinmeier called the European Union “a successful project of peace and stability” and said that there was a “strong desire” within the bloc to defend and strengthen it.

“I think it is absolutely clear that we are in a situation in which neither hysteria nor paralysis are permissible,” he said. “We must not rush headlong into hectic action, pretending we had all the answers. But we must also not fall into depression or inaction after the British decision.”

The speech, delivered on a factory floor in western Pennsylvania on Tuesday, outlined Trump's promise to restore millions of lost factory jobs by backing away from decades of US trade policy. The approach, which represents a significant break from years of Republican Party advocacy for unencumbered trade between nations, drew immediate condemnation from Democrats as well as GOP business leaders, who questioned the impact on the price of consumer goods, as well as the country's place in the global economy

In his 35-minute speech, Trump directly targeted Democratic presidential rival Hillary Clinton, blaming her and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, for the loss of millions of manufacturing jobs. And he threatened to exit the more than 2-decade-old North American Free Trade Agreement and vowed to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, an agreement among 12 Pacific Rim nations that has yet to take effect.

"This wave of globalization has wiped out totally, totally our middle class," Trump said, standing in front of pallets of recycled aluminum cans on a factory floor. "It doesn't have to be this way. We can turn it around, and we can turn it around fast."

Mr Farage also predicted how Britain “will not be the last member state to leave the EU” as he accused top Brussels chiefs of being “in denial” about the state of the crisis-riddled bloc. Recalling how he began his efforts to lead Britain out the EU by taking a seat in the European Parliament, Mr Farage said: “Isn’t it funny, when I came here 17-years-ago and said I wanted to lead a campaign to get Britain to leave the EU you all laughed at me.

“Well, you’re not laughing now.

“You as a political project are in denial. You are in denial that your currency is failing, you are in denial that Mrs Merkel’s call last year for as many people as possible to cross the Mediterranean has led to massive decisions within countries. But the main reason the UK voted out was that you have by stealth and by deception without ever telling the truth to the people of Europe continued to impose on them a political union. I will make one prediction this morning: the United Kingdom will not be the last member state to leave the European Union."

Mr Farage called for a “grown up and sensible” future relationship between Britain and the EU as he warned European politicians from acting in anger by trying to punish the UK for quitting. In a dig at the packed chamber of European politicians, he said: “I know that virtually none of you have done a proper job in your lives.” But he said there must be a “pragmatic” approach to agreeing a trade deal.

He said: “If you were to cut off your noses to spite your face the consequences would be far worse for you than it would be for us”. Mr Farage warned “German car workers risk losing their jobs” if the EU fails to negotiate a deal with Britain. He said: “Let’s create between us a sensible tariff free deal. The UK will be your friend… we will be your best friends in the world”. But he urged the EU to “let us go off and fulfil our global ambitions and future” now that Britain has left the bloc.

The EU’s chief diplomat, Federica Mogherini, will reportedly present a new foreign and security policy strategy later this week at the European Union summit in Brussels, according to Spiegel magazine. The document is the EU’s first major foreign and security policy strategy since its 2003 European Security Strategy. It comes as the bloc is facing uncertainty and decline after the British referendum on European Union membership.

“The purpose, even existence, of our union is being questioned,” Mogherini wrote in the foreword to the paper. “The crises within and beyond our borders are affecting directly our citizens’ lives,” it goes on, which is “even more true after the British referendum.”

The new strategy focuses on building up European “hard power” to achieve “strategic autonomy.” It’s designed “to cope with super-powers” and deal with “global policemen and lone warriors,” Mogherini’s foreword said, not mentioning specific countries. “In this fragile world, soft power is not enough: We must enhance our credibility in security and defense,” according to the draft strategy, which was also seen by the Wall Street Journal.

To deal with emerging challenges, the EU should stop relying on the US, and “take more responsibility for our own security.” The document goes even further by saying that despite NATO being there to protect its members from external attacks, “the Europeans must in future be better equipped, trained and organized to act alone, when necessary.”

Meanwhile, the Dow was down another 260 points on Monday as US markets continue to be shaken as well. Overall, approximately three trillion dollars of global stock market wealth has been lost over the last two trading days. That is an all-time record, and any doubt that we have entered a new global financial crisis has now been completely eliminated. But of course the biggest news on Monday was what happened to European banks. The Brexit vote has caused financial carnage for those institutions unlike anything that we have ever seen before.

I knew that things would be bad if the UK voted to leave the European Union, but I didn’t know that they would be this bad. Prior to all of this, a whole bunch of “too big to fail” banks all over Europe were already in the process of imploding, and now this chaotic financial environment may push several of them into full-blown collapse mode simultaneously.

But let there be no doubt about what has just happened. The collapse of Lehman Brothers was the “trigger event” that really accelerated the crisis of 2008, and now it appears as though the Brexit vote will be the “trigger event” that greatly accelerates the crisis of 2016. Global investors had already lost trillions over the past 12 months, and a full-blown financial implosion was going to happen no matter how the vote turned out, but thanks to British voters the fun and games have arrived early.

Unfortunately, only a very small fraction of the population understands just how bad things are going to get in the months ahead…

The first baby was born with a uterus transplant in September 2014 in Sweden. Since then, three other Swedish women also have given birth after receiving uterus transplants. All of their babies were born prematurely. Doctors at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio currently are conducting a research study involving the first uterus transplants in the US. In March, they announced that their first transplant attempt failed.

These highly publicized experiments are leading to more questions about the ethics of the procedure. Doctors in several states recently told Scientific American that they are starting to receive requests from transgenders who were born male and now identify as women about becoming pregnant with a uterus transplant.

Last Thursday’s Brexit vote cast a bright light on the degree to which the effects of globalization and the impact of immigration, along with decades of overpromises and under-delivery by political leaders, have undermined the ability of those officials to lead. This collapse of confidence has created what amounts to a crisis in governing for which there seems no easy or quick answer.

The debris here is clear. The Brexit vote claimed Prime Minister David Cameron as its first victim. Having called the referendum and led the campaign to keep Britain in the European Union, he announced his intention to resign the morning after the vote. The results also now threaten the standing of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who faces a likely leadership election after seeing more than two dozen members of his leadership team resign in the past two days.

Alastair Darling, a former chancellor of the exchequer, outlined the extent of the crisis here during an interview with the BBC’s “Today” program on Monday. “There is no government. There is no opposition. The people who got us into this mess — they’ve gone to ground,” he said “How has the United Kingdom come to this position? We have taken this decision and have no plan for the future.”

Britain’s political system faces months if not years of instability. Cameron originally recommended that a new prime minister be in place by early October. On Monday, the party committee overseeing the rules for the selection of a new Conservative Party leader to succeed Cameron accelerated that timetable, calling for a decision to be made by September 2.

Boris Johnson, the former mayor of London and the leading voice in the campaign to leave the EU, is seen as the favorite to succeed Cameron. But he is a controversial figure and faces resistance inside the party. The selection of a new prime minister probably will be followed by an early election — almost four years ahead of the next scheduled election — because the next prime minister will need a public endorsement as they begin the process of negotiating a withdrawal from the EU.

“I hope the formula of co-sovereignty – to be clear, the Spanish flag on the Rock – is much closer than before,” the minister said, adding that “no one should think that I am celebrating this situation.” Spain is planning to urge Gibraltar not to engage in negotiations with the European Union and will strive for talks regarding the possibility of joint sovereignty of the territory, Garcia-Margallo also noted.

Chief Minister of Gibraltar Fabian Picardo expressed certainty in the UK’s ability to adapt to changes and responded to Spain’s claims at a parliament session in Gibraltar later on Friday. “So let others make irrelevant noises about flying flags over the Rock if they want to waste their breath. Such ideas will never prosper. Gibraltar will never pay a sovereignty price for access to a market. Gibraltar will never be Spanish in whole, in part, or at all,” Picardo asserted.

And just as the Shemitah year ended last September, massive wildfires began erupting all over the country. Thanks to that unprecedented outbreak of large fires, 2015 ended up being the worst year for wildfires in all of US history. And since 2016 began, things have continued to get worse. As far as the total number of acres burned is concerned, we are more than a million acres ahead of the pace that was set last year.

The wildfires that are ripping through many parts of California right now are making headlines all over the world. In particular, the extremely quick moving Erskine fire in Kern County has already destroyed more than 200 homes and authorities are picking through the rubble hoping that they won’t discover too many bodies…

At this point more than 1,000 firefighters are fighting this enormous fire, and it has already burned more than 35,000 acres. The latest update that I saw said that it was now “10 percent contained”, and high temperatures in central California are expected to hit 110 degrees by mid-week. Meanwhile, West Virginia is dealing with a “500 year flood” after it received approximately a quarter of its entire average annual rainfall in a single day.

Our weather is getting crazy, the ground underneath our feet is shaking with frightening regularity, our economic and financial systems are crumbling, and there is political instability all over the planet. If I am right, natural disasters are going to continue to get even worse and global events are going to continue to spiral out of control. A great shaking is coming, and yet most people are completely oblivious to what is happening and they are going to be completely blindsided by it.

The House of Commons Petition Committee has been forced to investigate the alleged fraud saying it “undermines parliamentary democracy”. Remain campaigners are using the second EU referendum petition, which has attracted more than three million names since Friday, to fuel a campaign to block Britain’s exit from the European Union.

But signatories from across the globe – including the United States, Germany, France, and even Syria and Saudi Arabia are using fake addresses to try and plunge Britain into more uncertainty after the Brexit result. Some of the names will undoubtedly be genuine, as any UK resident or British citizen is entitled to sign e-petitions, and they may be abroad.

But express.co.uk has seen tweets showing Remain campaigners offering postcodes to foreigners so they can sign the petition. Nick Martinek, of West Yorkshire, set up a new email address and found a postcode for a street in Hilary Benn’s Leeds Central constituency to prove how easy it was to fraudulently sign. He said: “The way the BBC has been falling over itself to promote this petition makes me laugh. Politicians will use this as leverage to try and stop Britain leaving the European Union – until the joke and scam becomes clear.”

Under the radical proposals EU countries will lose the right to have their own army, criminal law, taxation system or central bank, with all those powers being transferred to Brussels. Controversially member states would also lose what few controls they have left over their own borders, including the procedure for admitting and relocating refugees.

The plot has sparked fury and panic in Poland - a traditional ally of Britain in the fight against federalism - after being leaked to Polish news channel TVP Info. The public broadcaster reports that the bombshell proposal will be presented to a meeting of the Visegrad group of countries - made up of Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia - by German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier later today.

Excerpts of the nine-page report were published today as the leaders of Germany, France and Italy met in Berlin for Brexit crisis talks. In the preamble to the text the two ministers write: "Our countries share a common destiny and a common set of values that give rise to an even closer union between our citizens. We will therefore strive for a political union in Europe and invite the next Europeans to participate in this venture."

The revelations come just days after Britain shook the Brussels establishment by voting to leave the European Union in a move some have predicted could lead to the break-up of the EU. A number of member states are deeply unhappy about the creeping federalism of the European project with anti-EU sentiments running high in eastern Europe, Scandinavia and France.
