The force that through the green fuse drives the flower / Drives my green age; that blasts the roots of trees / Is my destroyer. / And I am dumb to tell the crooked rose / My youth is bent by the same wintry fever¡¦.by Dylan Thomas

Mr Johnson insists a trade deal with the EU can be in place by the end of the transition period, but critics say this timescale is ´ä·Ê¶±=´ä·ÊÇ° ´ä·Ê¶± Çà»ç¶± ±îÄ¡¶± unrealistic.

The Senate's Republican leader, Mitch ³²ÀÚ·¹Çø®Ä«»çÀÌÆ®=³²ÀÚ·¹Çø®Ä«»çÀÌÆ® McConnell, will determine the terms of the trial and the Democrats want him to provide details on which witnesses and ½Å¹ß·¹Çø®Ä«=½Å¹ß·¹Çø®Ä« what testimony will be allowed.
He has so far refused to do so. "We remain ´ä·Ê¶±=´ä·ÊÇ° ´ä·Ê¶± Çà»ç¶± ±îÄ¡¶± at an impasse," he said, after a brief meeting with the Democrats' Senate minority leader, Chuck Schumer.
Mr McConnell leads the majority in the Senate, with 53 Republicans in the 100-seat chamber.

Mr McConnell has called the impeachment ·¹Çø®Ä«=·¹Çø®Ä« process the "most rushed, least thorough and most unfair" in history.
The Democrats ·¹Çø®Ä«»çÀÌÆ®=·¹Çø®Ä«»çÀÌÆ® hope the delay will both move public opinion in favour of a fuller trial and deny Mr Trump - only the third US president ·¹Çø®Ä«¼îÇθô=·¹Çø®Ä«¼îÇθô to be impeached - a swift acquittal.
The top Democrat in the US Congress, Nancy È«Äá¸íÇ°½Ã°è=È«Äá¸íÇ°±¸¸Å´ëÇà È«Äᱸ¸Å´ëÇà È«Äá½Ã°è Pelosi, has written to President Donald Trump inviting him to give his State of the Union speech ¸íÇ°À̹ÌÅ×À̼ÇÄ¿½ºÅÒ±Þ=À̹ÌÅ×À̼ǼîÇÎ À̹ÌÅ×À̼ÇÄ¿½ºÅÒ±Þ À̹ÌÅ×À̼ÇÀÏ´ëÀÏ on 4 February amid the partisan impeachment battle.
Labour leader Mr Corbyn said the government's "mishandling of Brexit" had "paralysed the political system," divided communities ³²ÀÚ·¹ÇÃ=³²ÀÚ·¹Çà and was a "national embarrassment".
He said MPs "have ·¹Çø®Ä«³²¼º½Ã°è=·¹Çø®Ä«³²¼º½Ã°è to respect the decision" of the EU referendum in 2016 "and move on".
"Labour will not support ³²ÀÚ·¹Çø®Ä«»çÀÌÆ®=³²ÀÚ·¹Çø®Ä«»çÀÌÆ® this bill, as we remain certain there is a better and fairer way for this country to leave the EU."
On the change in the bill that would legally ´ä·Ê¶±=´ä·ÊÇ° ´ä·Ê¶± Çà»ç¶± ±îÄ¡¶± prohibit the government from extending the transition period beyond 31 December 2020, Mr Blackford said: "By placing that deadline, that risk of a no-deal Brexit, that we all fear is very much, is on the table again."

What did the letter say?
The letter sent by Mrs Pelosi on ·¹Çø®Ä«½Ã°è»çÀÌÆ®=·¹Çø®Ä«½Ã°è»çÀÌÆ® Friday begins with a pointed reminder to Mr Trump of the "separation of powers" enshrined in the US Constitution.
The three branches - the judicial, executive, and ³²¼º·¹Çø®Ä«=³²¼º·¹Çø®Ä« legislative - she said are "co-equal branches acting as checks on each other".
White House spokesman ·¹Çø®Ä«¼îÇθô=·¹Çø®Ä«¼îÇθô Hogan Gidley said that Mr Trump had accepted the invitation to speak.
A top Republican in congress, Texas Senator ³²ÀÚ¸íÇ°·¹Çø®Ä«=³²ÀÚ¸íÇ°·¹Çø®Ä« John Cornyn, reacted to È«ÄáÀ̹ÌÅ×À̼ǼîÇÎ=È«Äá¼îÇÎ À̹ÌÅ×À̼ǼîÇθô À̹ÌÅ×ÀÌ¼Ç the invitation with the hashtag "#somanymixedsignals".
"Guess she expects him to ´ä·Ê¶±=´ä·ÊÇ° ´ä·Ê¶± Çà»ç¶± ±îÄ¡¶± still be in office then," he tweeted.

This prompted a series È«Äá·¹Çø®Ä«=È«Äá·¹Çø®Ä« of tweets from the president on ³²ÀÚ·¹Çø®Ä«»çÀÌÆ®=³²ÀÚ·¹Çø®Ä«»çÀÌÆ® Thursday accusing the Democrats of not wanting to start the trial because their "case is so bad" and demanding it begin immediately.
