UK, Europe trying to contain Brexit crisis

LONDON: British Prime Minister David Cameron will gather his cabinet Monday at the start of a crunch week for Europe’s leaders after the country’s shock vote to leave the EU, seeking to head off further turmoil.

Finance minister George Osborne will also break his silence and try to reassure financial markets following the momentous Brexit vote, which has fuelled fears of a break-up of the United Kingdom with Scotland vying for independence.
