Expressing regret, David Cameron says Britain will not turn back on EU
Expressing regret and sadness over Britain’s decision to leave the European Union, Prime Minister David Cameron said on Tuesday the country would not turn its back on Europe and would instead build the strongest ties it could.At what he said would be his last EU summit, Mr. Cameron told a news conference that as a democrat he had accepted the will of the people and other leaders had also respected the choice in a mood “of sadness and regret”.
“I threw myself in head, heart and soul to keep Britain in the European Union and I didn’t succeed,” he said. “And when you lose you have to say right I’ve lost that argument, I’ve lost that … debate and it’s right to hand over to someone else who will take the country forward,” he added.“Now of course I am sad about that, but frankly I’m more concerned about Britain getting its relationship right with Europe,” he said.
He stressed Britain would leave the European Union, seeking to quash suggestions it could avoid a Brexit or preserve access to the bloc’s prized single market if it curbed flows of migrant workers from the EU.“If you want the full benefits of the single market, you’ll have to be part of every part of it,” he said.

Tech-a-byte: Weekly news roundup
Google might be working on its own Android phone
Most of the big smartphone launches of the year are over, and the ones left to watch out for are the next iPhone and Google’s Nexus devices. While rumour-land is has seen a lot of speculation about the Nexus phones this year being made by HTC, a recent report in The Telegraph suggests Google may also be building its own device without an external hardware partner, in a bid to address the fragmentation of Android that has developed as a result of manufacturers toying with the software and not providing reasonable updates to their devices. This news follows other rumours that mentioned Google may take direct control over smartphones with a high-end ‘Pixel’ phone (such as the Chromebook Pixel and Pixel C tablet) to rival the iPhone. However, Google has extended no confirmation on this front, so this might well be more wishful thinking.
