Voters in Iceland rejected a proposal to resume European Union accession talks, ending a decade-long debate over membership prospects.
PULSE POINTS WHAT HAPPENED: Icelanders voted 52.8 percent to 47.2 percent against resuming negotiations to join the European Union (EU), effectively shelving any immediate plans for EU membership.

WHEN & WHERE: The vote took place over the weekend in Iceland, with the capital of Reykjavik being the only area where a majority supported resuming EU talks. KEY QUOTE: “This isn’t the time to go. Maybe 10, 15, 20 years or more, like, we can take another look,” said Daniel Bjarkason, a voter against the measure. IMPACT:…Open

Crown Prince Haakon, the only son of King Harald V, will become monarch, a largely ceremonial and symbolic role.
King Harald V of Norway, who went into exile in the United States as a child during the Nazi occupation of his homeland and refused a string of European noblewomen to marry his school sweetheart, died Friday. He was 89. The palace said he died at the National Hospital in Oslo at 6:35 a.m. Harald was Europe’s oldest monarch. The popular king modernized the royal house but refused to follow in the footsteps of other aging monarchs who have abdicated in recent times. His son automatically became King Haakon VIII.
