British prime minister confirms Russian interference in Brexit vote

Drafting a national budget is proving hazardous for European governments this week. Belgium cancelled its State of the Union address after a single committee veto collapsed the federal budget talks. Estonia’s minority coalition simply refused to support its own spending plan. Latvia's incoming cabinet took office facing a mandate for painful cuts and no easy way to execute them. In Denmark, the government went looking for cash by proposing a new inheritance tax and quietly scrapping climate protection funding, while a survey in Finland found the public actively demanding spending cuts.
