British PM Cameron to Resign Wednesday; Theresa May to Take Power
-----------------------------------------------------------------

British Prime Minister David Cameron says he will resign Wednesday and
formally cede power to Theresa May. May has served as Britain's home
minister since 2010 and will be the second British woman to serve as
prime minister. Cameron initially announced he would resign following
Britain's shocking decision to leave the European Union in June.
Speaking Monday, Cameron called for continuing a close relationship with
Europe.

David Cameron: "I believe it is in our fundamental national and economic
interest to remain very close to the European Union. For trade, for
business, for security, for cooperation, so let that be our goal."
