The two sides had previously agreed Sunday as the deadline, but no deal has been reached. The UK prime minister Boris Johnson and European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen agreed to extend the deadline following a phone call on Sunday. We get the latest from Sam Fleming, FT bureau chief in Brussels. Our regular market commentator Michael Hughes explains what's behind the recent rise in the oil price, which has now gone above $50 per barrel, and what the short term future for prices might be. And sales of chess sets are up thanks to the hit series The Queen's Gambit on Netflix, which documents the life of former grandmaster Beth Harrison. And it's women who are behind the trend, as we hear from grandmaster Katerina Nemcova.
