as ministers tell MPs, don't stand in the way | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
Labour says it will fight for changes to the bill | :00:10. | :00:17. | |
in the Commons tomorrow, putting them on a collision | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
What we can't have is either House of Parliament reversing the decision | :00:20. | :00:23. | |

We've also had a lot incoming mortar fire. | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
You can hear now the sounds of battle. | :00:47. | :00:53. | |

The Brexit Secretary, David Davis, has called on MPs to back | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
the Government's Brexit bill when it returns to the Commons tomorrow, | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
after the Lords twice went against the Government. | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
Peers voted to guarantee the rights of EU citizens in the UK, | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
and to ensure that Parliament has a vote on an eventual deal. | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
But Mr Davis said it would not be acceptable | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
for Parliament to try to reverse the will of the British people. | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
If MPs do pass it, Theresa May could trigger Article 50 - | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
that's the formal process of Brexit - this week. | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
Our chief political correspondent Vicki Young reports. | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
For months she has vowed to kick-start Brexit talks | :02:02. | :02:11. | |
But some here in Parliament are fighting to get safeguards | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
written into law before the negotiations begin. | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
Today, the Brexit secretary tried to reassure MPs and peers that | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
they would get a vote on the Prime Minister's | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
What we can't have is either House of Parliament reversing the decision | :02:22. | :02:29. | |
Peers have defeated the Government twice, and Labour's standing firm. | :02:30. | :02:45. | |
What we say to the Prime Minister, and I wrote to her on Friday, | :02:46. | :02:54. | |
reflect on what the House of Lords has said by majorities | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
They have sent back two really important issues. | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
This issue of the EU nationals, and the issues of the vote. | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
Don't just have this obsession with getting Article 50 | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
The two line Brexit bill is still making its way through Parliament. | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
Last week, the House of Lords made their changes. | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
The Government will try to overturn these in the Commons tomorrow. | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
If they succeed, the Bill returns to the Lords almost immediately, | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
and if they give way, the final stage of Royal Assent | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
So the Government has some Parliamentary hurdles | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
but ministers seem confident that Theresa May will be able to stick | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
formally telling the rest of the EU that the UK is ready to start | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
negotiating its exit, and attention is turning | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
to exactly what kind of deal, if any, the UK can get. | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
The Prime Minister has said publicly that no deal for the UK | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
is better than a bad deal, but that would mean | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
tariffs on exports under World Trade Organisation rules. | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
My fear is that what this is really about, is us deliberately, | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
not the Prime Minister, but others deliberately ensuring | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
And no deal pretty soon, and in that event, we jump off | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
the cliff on to WTO tariffs and nobody in this country, | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
the people of this country don't have a say. | :04:10. | :04:22. | |
Some Cabinet Ministers seem relaxed about the possibility. As it happens | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
we would be perfectly OK if we weren't able to get an agreement, | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
but I am sure we will. Mr Davis admits the Government | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
is preparing a contingency plan in case there's no deal, | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
but he doesn't think Let's make no bones about it, | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
there will be tough points in this negotiation, | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
but it is in everybody's interest Parliament's debate about this bill | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
isn't quite over, but after months of talking about the talks, | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
formal negotiations We can join Vicki | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
in Westminster now. How likely is it that the | :04:52. | :05:04. | |
Parliamentary rebellion will continue? First of all tomorrow, the | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
eyes will all be on Tory MPs in the House of Commons, they want more | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
verbal guarantees from ministers, the rebellion could well be bigger | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
but I don't think they have the numbers to defeat the Government. | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
Talking to both sides it is clear Cabinet Ministers are confident | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
about getting their way. If they do the action moves to the House of | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
Lords. There the Liberal Democrats have promised to dig in their heels, | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
the question is whether Labour peers will join them. I guess the sense | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
they don't want to prolong this. It It could be be by tomorrow the | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
rebellion has melted away and it is hard to find anyone who thinks that | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
Theresa May will be prevented from thing what she promised to trigger | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
Article 50, to get those formal Brexit negotiations under way, and | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
it could come as early as Tuesday. Thank you. | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
Iraqi forces have made more gains in west Mosul - | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
the largest city still under the control of the | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
Government troops, backed by a US-led coalition, | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
recaptured the east of the city in late January, after more | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
Now they say a third of the west, which is almost completely | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
Around 600,000 civilians are believed to be trapped inside. | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
Our Middle East correspondent, Orla Guerin, and cameraman | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
Nico Hameon have been travelling with the Iraqi forces. | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
You may find parts of her report distressing. | :06:18. | :06:33. | |
Caught below, hundreds of thousands of civilians. | :06:34. | :06:45. | |
This is the place where IS proclaimed its Caliphate. | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
Here it was born, and here, Iraqi forces say, it will die. | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
On the ground, they are advancing, but struggling to hold | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
Then frantic gunfire towards the threat overhead. | :07:02. | :07:18. | |
An IS drone, maybe carrying explosives. | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
Well, this is as far as we can go for now. | :07:25. | :07:33. | |
As you can hear there is a lot of gunfire in the area. | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
There are snipers in position on this street. | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
We have cover here, so we won't be moving from this position, | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
but within the last half an hour or so, we've heard three car bombs | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
We've also had a lot of incoming mortar fire - | :07:45. | :07:52. | |
you can hear now the sounds of battle. | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
The IS fighters that are in this area are putting | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
The man who didn't flinch is Major Alani. | :07:58. | :08:08. | |
Hours later, he was wounded in battle. | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
Troops using every weapon, even home-made rockets. | :08:11. | :08:27. | |
Then the rush to retrieve a casualty. | :08:28. | :08:29. | |
We can't say how many have paid with their lives, Iraqi forces don't | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
But they have the extremists outgunned and encircled. | :08:33. | :08:41. | |
They believe victory is guaranteed in Mosul, in time. | :08:42. | :08:50. | |
But ending the Caliphate may not end IS. | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
General Abbas is in the thick of the battle. | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
He told us the narrow streets and civilian presence | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
In front of us is all city, it is very hard because we need | :09:06. | :09:16. | |
to keep to take care for the citizen. | :09:17. | :09:18. | |
We need to be aggressive against IS guys, we need | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
to put a very clear plan, to clear the area. | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
That means we need to put a plan to survive our citizens. | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
And as the fighting rages, more weary civilians leave | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
Where they have been caught between the militants and the army. | :09:36. | :09:43. | |
Few may have endured more than this man. | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
IS put an anti-aircraft gun near his house. | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
An air strike targeting the extremists brought | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
"Three of my daughters are dead", he says. | :09:56. | :10:12. | |
"My daughters were under the concrete of the house." | :10:13. | :10:22. | |
"They didn't let me see them before they were buried." | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
As well as losing his daughters, and his home, he lost his leg. | :10:30. | :10:38. | |
He prays God will destroy IS, as they have destroyed Iraq. | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
Orla Guerin, BBC News, western Mosul. | :10:41. | :10:48. | |
Turkey's President Erdogan has called for sanctions | :10:49. | :10:49. | |
against the Dutch government, after it prevented two | :10:50. | :10:51. | |
of his ministers from making political speeches in Rotterdam | :10:52. | :10:53. | |
Last night Dutch police broke up a rally by Mr Erdogan's | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
The speeches had been intended to bolster support among Turkish | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
expatriates with voting rights in Turkey. | :11:02. | :11:02. | |
Our diplomatic coreespondent James Robbins has more details: | :11:03. | :11:15. | |

Not our usual image of the Netherlands. | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
This was the wound the dog left behind as riot police | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
used considerable force against Turkish demonstrators. | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
They were angered by the Dutch government's refusal | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
to allow their politicians to attend a campaign rally in support | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
He is counting on the backing of more than a million Turkish | :11:37. | :11:47. | |
citizens living in Europe to expand his powers back home | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
But his minister for families wasn't allowed to address them. | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
The second Turkish minister turned back by the Dutch government. | :11:57. | :11:58. | |
TRANSLATION: In Holland - Holland as a country that speaks | :11:59. | :12:05. | |
of freedom and democracy - we were faced with very | :12:06. | :12:07. | |
we should treat women in Turkey. about women's rights and tell us how | :12:08. | :12:19. | |
All this followed President Erdogan's far stronger | :12:20. | :12:21. | |
language at a rally, denouncing the Dutch as "Nazi | :12:22. | :12:23. | |
Those words have infuriated several European governments, | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
including Germany's, mindful of the Nazi | :12:30. | :12:30. | |
occupation of Holland during the Second World War. | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
We are absolutely willing to deescalate, but of course these | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
utterings of the president of Turkey Republic do not help and | :12:43. | :12:44. | |
But this is also the collision of two electoral campaigns in Turkey | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
The Dutch go to the polls first on Wednesday. | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
It's been a tense campaign, dominated by the anti-immigration | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
He blames the Prime Minister for allowing immigrants in, | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
It's unclear how the weekend violence and the extraordinary | :13:03. | :13:09. | |
diplomatic crisis with Turkey will influence Dutch voters, making | :13:10. | :13:11. | |
big choices against a background of rising populism across Europe. | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
The intelligence services are to provide the political parties | :13:15. | :13:25. | |
with advice on protecting themselves against Russian hackers. | :13:26. | :13:27. | |
The advice will come from experts at GCHQ's | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
Several politicians have been calling for more assistance, | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
saying they fear that hackers might try to influence future elections. | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
Rail workers in three parts of the country | :13:43. | :13:44. | |
go on strike tomorrow, as the dispute that's caused months | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
of chaos for Southern Rail commuters spreads to the north of England. | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
Conductors working on the Merseyrail, Northern | :13:52. | :13:52. | |
and Southern services are walking out in a row over their future role. | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
Our correspondent Danni Hewson sent this report from Liverpool. | :13:56. | :14:03. | |
It may have been business as usual today, but here in Liverpool | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
and right across the north, commuters are bracing | :14:07. | :14:08. | |
From midnight, rail workers with the RMT union will begin a 24 | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
hour strike, affecting thousands of passengers. | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
I don't know how I am going to get home. | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
We'll just have to see what we can sort out tomorrow. | :14:22. | :14:23. | |
A lot of people will be stranded and won't know where to go. | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
Especially if you are not from the area. | :14:29. | :14:30. | |
The companies affected are Northern, the UK's second largest operator | :14:31. | :14:32. | |
which serves passengers across the north, including Leeds, | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
Manchester, Sheffield, Newcastle and Liverpool. | :14:36. | :14:37. | |
Merseyrail, which serves mainly Merseyside, will run trains every | :14:38. | :14:46. | |
half an hour, rather than every 15 minutes, | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
The row was triggered by proposed changes to the role | :14:50. | :14:57. | |
of the onboard guard, changes the union says | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
We believe that services operated on a driver only, | :15:02. | :15:08. | |
driver controlled operation are fundamentally less safe, | :15:09. | :15:09. | |
and every train in the UK should retain a second safety | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
Efforts to resolve the dispute in recent weeks have broken down. | :15:14. | :15:21. | |
Operators say they need to modernise and safety won't be compromised. | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
We put safety at the heart of everything we do. | :15:26. | :15:27. | |
The Independent Rail Regulator has the indicated this is as safe | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
The Independent Rail Regulator has indicated this is as safe | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
This isn't about who opens and closes the doors, | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
this is about giving customers what they want. | :15:39. | :15:40. | |
For now, both sides are at an impasse and few expect | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
tomorrow's disruption will be the last. | :15:44. | :15:44. | |
For commuters, the focus is is now on tomorrow's rush hour, and how if | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
it all they will make their journey to work. | :15:49. | :15:50. | |
Now, this weekend the United Nations has warned of a looming humanitarian | :15:51. | :16:02. | |
crisis, with 20 million people facing famine. | :16:03. | :16:03. | |
Its experts say that without urgent help, | :16:04. | :16:05. | |
There's growing concern about four countries | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
in particular - Nigeria, South Sudan, Yemen and Somalia - | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
and our correspondents in the region have been to some | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
We begin with Andrew Harding in Somalia. | :16:17. | :16:26. | |
The southern town of Baidoa is at the heart of Somalia's | :16:27. | :16:28. | |
Thousands of families are on the move here. | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
These people arrived this morning, looking for food, looking for water. | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
Now half the population of this country is in need | :16:36. | :16:37. | |
Drought is the main problem, but so is conflict. | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
In the countryside around here, for instance, al-Shabaab, | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
the militant Islamist group, is still in control. | :16:48. | :16:49. | |
Aid agencies say they desperately need more funds. | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
They only have a fraction of what they need and what | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
And of course remember this is just one of four countries currently | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
Famine has already been declared in parts of South Sudan, | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
but this is a man-made crisis and those fleeing war come here, | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
Around 2000 people cross the border daily. | :17:10. | :17:23. | |
This has become Africa's biggest refugee crisis | :17:24. | :17:24. | |
and the world's third-largest after Afghanistan and Syria. | :17:25. | :17:26. | |
People can no long stay in their villages and towns, | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
because of fighting between the government and rebels. | :17:30. | :17:30. | |
Those who come here bring with them harrowing tales | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
of violence and a desperation to avoid starvation. | :17:34. | :17:34. | |
But it's not just east Africa that is struggling | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
Here in Nigeria in West Africa, mass hunger has been fuelled | :17:38. | :17:51. | |
by the brutal seven-year insurgency of the Islamist group Boko Haram. | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
In the north-east of the country, where so many people have | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
had to flee their homes because of the fighting, | :17:58. | :17:59. | |
it's estimated 8.5 million people are in need of food aid, | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
and 75,000 children are at risk of dying in the coming months. | :18:03. | :18:04. | |
All this week on BBC News, we'll be taking a look at the hunger | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
crisis of four badly affected countries and asking what can be | :18:09. | :18:10. | |
done to help 20 million people facing famine. | :18:11. | :18:32. | |
My colleague Clive Myrie there, reporting from Nigeria. | :18:33. | :18:33. | |
Now, with all the sport, here's Karthi Gnanasegaram | :18:34. | :18:35. | |
Tottenham Hotspur are through to the semi-finals of the FA Cup | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
after an emphatic 6-0 win over League One side Millwall. | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
South Korea's Son Heung-Min scored a hat-trick but the Football | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
Association is expected to investigate allegations of racist | :18:48. | :18:49. | |
Tottenham were already on their way to Wembley - | :18:50. | :18:59. | |
it is where they will play next season while their | :19:00. | :19:01. | |
But here was their chance to travel there early for an FA Cup semifinal. | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
First, they had to get past League One's Millwall, | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
a team on a 17 match unbeaten run, and when Harry Kane limped | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
off after six minutes, they looked like it could be | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
The England striker was replaced by Christian Eriksen, | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
who with one swing of his boot, turned the momentum | :19:20. | :19:21. | |
In their rush for a second goal, Son fumbled his first touch, | :19:22. | :19:28. | |
He makes amends with an absolute beauty. | :19:29. | :19:35. | |
Son has played in the shadow of Kane for much of the season, | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
but his movement was too much for Millwall, and he scored | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
Viewing wouldn't get much easier for Millwall's manager | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
There was time for more, after Son completed a somewhat | :19:46. | :20:01. | |
This was the last FA Cup tie to be played | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
