UK-EU youth plan: Caps and fees now delay deal
Young people hoping to study or work across Europe could face longer delays as Britain and the EU remain split on travel rules and university costs.

Officials are now anticipating an agreement closer to a planned summit in late June or early July, rather than by the end of May.
