Yahoo News The 8 things you might have missed this weekend
Theresa May is preparing for a Cabinet revolt this week over her Brexit plans, Saudi Arabia is under increasing pressure over the death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, and Ryanair is facing a backlash over its handling of a passenger who hurled racist abuse at a fellow traveller.
Meanwhile, Jose Mourinho will find out if he will be charged over a fracas during Manchester United's game with Chelsea and Lewis Hamilton will have to wait another week to be crowned champion.
If you've been away from a screen or newspaper all weekend or want a summary, here's a quick recap of the main events.
1. Theresa May faces fresh Brexit revolt
Theresa May is facing a Cabinet revolt after attempting to shore up support for her Brexit plans during an hour-and-a-half long conference call with her ministers.
The Prime Minister is braced for one of the most pivotal weeks of her Premiership amid suggestions that Tory MPs are poised to trigger a confidence vote.
On Monday she will attempt to reassure MPs during an address in the Commons, during which she will insist the Brexit deal is 95% complete.
On Tuesday she will hold Cabinet, while on Wednesday she faces the prospect of a Eurosceptic revolt in the Commons and a "showdown" with Tory MPs, before holding a meeting of her Brexit inner cabinet on Thursday.
The mounting opposition from Eurosceptic Cabinet ministers is likely to increase concerns that further resignations over the Prime Minister's Brexit plan are imminent. Rebel MPs believe they are just two letters away from the 48 needed to trigger the vote, which could lead to a leadership contest.
2. UK, France and Germany demand 'facts' from Saudi Arabia over Khashoggi
The UK, France and Germany on Sunday demanded evidence from Saudi Arabia to back its claim that Jamal Khashoggi died in a brawl at its consulate.
In a joint statement, they said Riyadh's explanation - that the dissident journalist was killed when an argument spiralled out of control - needed "to be backed by facts" amid growing scepticism about the Saudi version of events.
Meanwhile a senior official in Riyadh said Khashoggi's body had been smuggled from the consulate wrapped in a rug even as Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister appeared on American TV to claim authorities still did not know exactly how the 59-year-old died or where his body was.
In his strongest comments yet, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey said on Sunday that Ankara would release "the naked truth" in the form of a full report on Tuesday.
3. Trump to pull US out of nuclear pact with Russia
Donald Trump on Saturday announced the US is to pull out of a landmark nuclear agreement with Russia, accusing the Kremlin of violating its terms.
Mr Trump did not offer specific details on how Moscow had violated the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, but during the past four years America has repeatedly argued that Russia has been in breach of the agreement with its aggressive actions against former Soviet states in Europe.
Mr Trump hinted that the only way forward might be to include China in a new treaty.
The historic 1987 treaty was followed by a landmark meeting between President Ronald Reagan and Russian leader Mikhail Gorbachev.
It was seen as a key step in ending the Cold War and some fear that withdrawing from the pact will fuel increased weapons development between China, Russia and the US.
4. 'More than 500,000' anti-Brexit protesters march in London
Organisers claim more than 500,000 anti-Brexit campaigners have joined a central London protest calling for a fresh referendum.
The People's Vote march set off from Park Lane and ended with a rally in Parliament Square.
Celebrity cook Delia Smith, Dragons' Den businesswoman Deborah Meaden and London Mayor Sadiq Khan were among speakers at the event.
The People's Vote campaign said its stewards estimated the size of the crowd to be around 570,000. The estimate has not been verified by the police.
Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, speaking ahead of his platform appearance, said: "Today will go down as an historic moment in our democracy. A moment when, in their thousands, people from every corner of our country and every section of our society will take to the streets - coming to make our voice heard."
5. Ryanair under fire over passenger's racist rant
Ryanair is facing a public backlash for its failure to remove a man from a plane after he launched a torrent of racist abuse at a fellow passenger.
The man was filmed calling the 77-year-old woman an "ugly black bastard", and shouting "don't talk to me in a foreign language you stupid ugly cow" when she spoke with a Jamaican accent.
The footage was recorded on Friday on Ryanair flight FR015 from Barcelona to London Stansted, before takeoff, by a fellow passenger who published it on social media.
Several politicians voiced anger at Ryanair's apparent lack of action in removing the man from the flight.
Ryanair said on Sunday that it had reported the incident to Essex police.
6. Mourinho facing nervous wait over whether FA will charge him
Jose Mourinho faces an anxious wait to find out whether or not the Football Association will charge him for his furious reaction to the goading of Chelsea coach Marco Ianni.
Telegraph Sport understands referee Mike Dean is set to include the spat between Ianni and Manchester United manager Mourinho in his report, which the FA will study on Monday.
Mourinho had to be stopped from chasing Ianni down the Stamford Bridge tunnel after Chelsea’s second assistant coach wildly celebrated Ross Barkley’s stoppage-time equaliser in front of him.
Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri immediately apologised to Mourinho for the incident and Ianni was later sent to say sorry to the Portuguese himself.
7. Hamilton made to wait for title
With a prize as great as a fifth Formula One world title at stake, it was only fitting that Lewis Hamilton should have to work for it.
In a riveting pot-boiler of a United States Grand Prix, he strained every sinew in pursuit of his prize, weaving all over this Texan track in his quest to hunt down Max Verstappen, but ultimately had to settle for third place and a coronation deferred.
As that wily veteran Kimi Raikkonen gatecrashed the party, grasping a first win in over 5½ years, the champion-in-waiting realised he would need to wait another week for his moment of history.
Given he holds a 70-point lead over Sebastian Vettel, his only challenger, with just 75 to play for, it is all but certain that Hamilton will secure his place alongside the immortals in Mexico City next weekend.

8. Kyle Edmund wins maiden ATP tour title
Britain has a new champion on the ATP tour, the first since Andy Murray 12 years ago, after Kyle Edmund overcame the experienced Frenchman Gaël Monfils to claim the European Open in Antwerp.
Having begun his season in fine style with his run to the Australian Open semi-finals, Edmund had gone a little quiet through the middle of the year – a lull epitomised by his disappointing power failure against Paolo Lorenzi in the first round of the US Open.
But this was a rousing way for the 23-year-old Edmund to demonstrate that he is worthy of his ranking at No14. Until Sunday, he was the highest man on the ladder who had not lifted an ATP trophy. Now ownership of that quirky factoid passes to No27 Chung Hyeon the South Korean who was also a semi-finalist in Melbourne in January.
