Newspaper headlines: Barack Obama kitesurfing and Brexit hard talk
After eight years in the White House, former president Barack Obama and his wife Michelle square measure enjoying a well-deserved vacation in the British island.
Recently released video and photos of the Obamas' vacation with Richard Branson show them happy, joking around and having some fun in the water off one in all the businessman's non-public islands.
Mr Obama appeared to be taking advantage of his new-found freedom when telling Mr Branson he had been prevented from water sport by his security detail throughout his time in workplace.
He also joined in a friendly challenge with Madonna founder — learning a way to kitesurf before Mr Branson learned to foilboard.

He also joined in a friendly challenge with Madonna founder — learning a way to kitesurf before Mr Branson learned to foilboard.
"We agreed to have a final day battle to check WHO may stay awaken the longest," Branson wrote in a blog post.
Both spent a couple of days learning their chosen sport, falling "many times" but creating goodly progress.
"We were neck and neck until the last run on the last day, when I got informed the foilboard and screamed on for over fifty metres, three feet higher than the water," Mr Branson wrote.
"I was feeling very happy with myself, only to look over and see Barack go one hundred metres on his kiteboard! I had to take off my cap to him and celebrate his finish."
He said tempting the Obamas to his island was "a vast honour".
Mr Obama spent his initial days when going Washington leisure in Palm Springs, California.
