More than 1 million people marched in central London to demand another referendum asking whether Britain should exit the European Union, organizers said Saturday.

The big picture: The United Kingdom was to leave the EU on March 29, but the  European Union granted the nation a short Brexit extension to April 12. 

What's next? In the unlikely event that Prime Minister Theresa May secures parliamentary approval for her Brexit deal by April 12, the U.K. would exit the EU on or before May 22. The UK would have to hold EU elections on May 23 if it were still in the European Union then.

China is becoming the most formidable rival America has faced, and the risk of confrontation with Russia, North Korea or Iran still looms. Authoritarians are rising, the chaotic Afghanistan exit revealed the limits of U.S. power, and the pandemic, climate change and other critical challenges continue to pose grave threats.
