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

:10:13. > :10:22."My daughters were under the concrete of the house."
:10:23. > :10:29."They didn't let me see them before they were buried."
:10:30. > :10:38.As well as losing his daughters, and his home, he lost his leg.

:10:49. > :10:49.Turkey's President Erdogan has called for sanctions
