We’re covering Boris Johnson’s push to sell his Brexit deal, a five-day pause in fighting in northern Syria and a potential breakthrough in malaria prevention. By Melina Delkic Prime Minister Boris Johnson of Britain in Brussels on Thursday. Frank Augstein/Associated Press Brexit deal in hand, Johnson turns to Parliament Prime Minister Boris Johnson, having secured a [hard-fought Brexit deal with the E.U.](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfi8ypP4Q2AWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMTkvMTAvMTcvd29ybGQvZXVyb3BlL2JyZXhpdC1ib3Jpcy1qb2huc29uLWV1Lmh0bWw_YWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrJm1vZHVsZT1OZXdzJnBndHlwZT1Ib21lcGFnZSZ0ZT0xJm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmcmZW1jPWVkaXRfTUJFX3BfMjAxOTEwMTgmc2VjdGlvbj10b3BOZXdzP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTUxJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEzMTgzJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTgwMDkmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyMTAxOCZzZWN0aW9uPXRvcE5ld3NXA255dEIKACCpR6ldIweP9lIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA), will today try to sell it to members of Parliament, which will decide its fate in a special session on Saturday. Despite his success in Brussels, won at the cost of significant concessions, Mr. Johnson’s victory lap was short-lived, as obstacles to passing the agreement became clearer with little time left to persuade lawmakers to accept it. Sticking point: Unionists in Northern Ireland felt a deep sense of betrayal, with Mr. Johnson having overruled [objections to the deal from lawmakers who represent them](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfi8ypP4QPAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMTkvMTAvMTcvd29ybGQvZXVyb3BlL25vcnRoZXJuLWlyZWxhbmQtdW5pb25pc3RzLWJyZXhpdC5odG1sP3RlPTEmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9NQkVfcF8yMDE5MTAxOCZzZWN0aW9uPXRvcE5ld3M_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTEmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTMxODMmc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xODAwOSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3JnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTJ0aW9uPXRvcE5ld3NXA255dEIKACCpR6ldIweP9lIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). The Democratic Unionist Party — whose support he needs — says it would essentially cleave Northern Ireland from the United Kingdom and hurt its economy. Win-win: Even if Mr. Johnson loses the Saturday vote, he can argue in a general election that he’d done all he could to make Brexit happen by Oct. 31, as he promised. He can blame either Brussels for holding up the process or Parliament for voting down his plan. The deal: Northern Ireland would legally be part of Britain’s customs territory, but it would adhere to a host of European rules and regulations. That would allow seamless trading with the Republic of Ireland to continue, easing concerns that decades of peace on the island might be jeopardized. More broadly, the deal is at the extreme end of possible divorce settlements between Britain and the E.U., with no promise of alignment in commerce and trade, with the exception of Northern Ireland.

Flames and smoke billowed in Ras al-Ayn, Syria, near the Turkish border, on Thursday. Cavit Ozgul/Associated Press Turkey agrees to a pause, but not a pullout Vice President Mike Pence reached a deal with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey, accepting a Turkish presence in northern Syria in exchange for [the promise of a five-day cease-fire](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfi8ypP4QfAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMTkvMTAvMTcvd29ybGQvbWlkZGxlZWFzdC90cnVtcC10dXJrZXktaW52YXNpb24tc3lyaWEuaHRtbD9tb2R1bGU9aW5saW5lJnRlPTEmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9NQkVfcF8yMDE5MTAxOCZzZWN0aW9uPXRvcE5ld3M_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTEmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTMxODMmc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xODAwOSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3JnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTI7c2VjdGlvbj10b3BOZXdzVwNueXRCCgAgqUepXSMHj_ZSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~), to allow embattled Kurds to leave. The arrangement, reached during a hastily arranged trip to Ankara, is remarkably deferential to Turkey, with the U.S. also dropping threatened sanctions. Turkey’s foreign minister credited Mr. Erdogan, saying that “we got what we wanted.” It completes President Trump’s abrupt reversal of American policy in the Syrian conflict, which drew intense criticism from lawmakers in both U.S. parties. Whether the deal will work is unclear, because most of the main actors in northern Syria — the Kurdish leadership and the Russian and Syrian governments — were not at the negotiating table.
