Queen Elizabeth II Approves Legislation To Block No-Deal Brexit

The transcript discusses the UK political scenario regarding Brexit. Queen Elizabeth II granted royal assent to the EU Withdrawal Bill #6, which mandates Prime Minister Boris Johnson to request an extension from the EU if no exit deal is approved by October 19th. This could delay the Brexit date from October 31st to the end of January, pending EU approval. The legislation was passed by both Houses of Parliament, despite a scheduled parliamentary shutdown from September 9th to October 14th.
