Russia has announced it is suspending participation in the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces treaty -- one day after the US declared it would pull out of the agreement unless Moscow complies with its terms within 180 days.

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the move on Saturday, according to the Kremlin's official website.

Putin held a special meeting with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu following Friday's decision by the US to suspend compliance with the INF treaty, a key pact with Russia that has been a centerpiece of European security since the Cold War.

"We will proceed as follows. We will have a tit-for-tat response. American partners have announced that they are suspending their participation in the treaty, so we are suspending ours as well," said Putin, according to the website.

Nissan cites Brexit 'uncertainty' as it scraps plans to build model in Britain

London (CNN)

Japanese car manufacturer Nissan has confirmed it is scrapping plans to build a new model in the English city of Sunderland, citing uncertainty over Brexit and further highlighting employers' fears of a no-deal departure by the UK from the European Union.

The company had said in 2016 that it would produce the new X-Trail model at its Sunderland factory after getting reassurances from the government over Brexit -- an intervention hailed by Prime Minister Theresa May as a "vote of confidence" in British business after voters backed leaving the EU.

Now it's reversed those plans and will instead continue to build the X-Trail in Japan, it confirmed on Sunday, dealing a major blow to the region's economy and underlining repeated concerns from the British automotive industry over damage to the sector caused by Brexit.

The transformation of Juan Guaido, Venezuela's self-declared president

- Headline : Venezuela's new hope?

- As Juan Guaido battles for the nation's presidency, some liken his style to ex-US president Barack Obama

Caracas, Venezuela (CNN)

Juan Guaido spent his entire adult life living under the promises of a socialist utopia, first under Hugo Chavez, then Nicolas Maduro. Now as he battles for Venezuela's presidency, the 35-year-old has adopted the early campaign slogan and stylings of a US president.

"Can we do it?" He roared to a vast crowd in the capital, Caracas last Saturday.

"Yes we can!" They shouted back, their right hands held high as they joined him in pledging a swift and peaceful transition to democratic presidential elections.
