Many front pages look ahead to next week, when the government is expected to begin the formal process of the brexit. Good evening and welcome to bbc news. The Brexit Secretary david davis has called on mps to back the governments brexit bill when it returns to the commons tomorrow, after the lords twice went against the government. Peers voted to guarantee the rights of eu citizens in the uk, and to ensure that parliament has a vote on an eventual deal. But mr davis said it would not be acceptable for parliament to try to reverse the will of the british people. If mps do pass it, theresa may could trigger article 50 thats the formal process of brexit this week. 0ur chief Political Correspondent vicki young reports. Theresa may wants to get on with it. For months she has vowed to kick start brexit talks by the end of march. But some here in parliament are fighting to get safeguards written into law before the negotiations begin. Today, the Brexit Secretary tried to reassure mps and peers that they would get a vote on the Prime Ministers final deal with the eu. But. What we cant have is either house of parliament reversing the decision of the british people. They havent got a veto on it. What does it mean otherwise . People talk about meaningful votes. What does it mean otherwise . Peers have defeated the government twice, and labours standing firm. What we say to the Prime Minister, and i wrote to her on friday, reflect on what the House Of Lords has said by majorities of nearly 100. They have sent back two really important issues. This issue of the eu nationals, and the issues of the vote. Reflect on that. Dontjust have this obsession with getting article 50 triggered this week. The two line brexit bill is still making its way through parliament. Last week, the House Of Lords made their changes. The government will try to overturn these in the commons tomorrow. If they succeed, the bill returns to the lords almost immediately, and if they give way, the final stage of royal assent could be completed tomorrow night. So the government has some parliamentary hurdles to get over this week, but ministers seem confident that theresa may will be able to stick to her original plan, formally telling the rest of the eu that the uk is ready to start negotiating its exit, and attention is turning to exactly what kind of deal, if any, the uk can get. The Prime Minister has said publicly that no deal for the uk is better than a bad deal, but that would mean tariffs on exports under World Trade Organisation rules. My fear is that what this is really about, is us deliberately, not the Prime Minister, but others deliberately ensuring that we have no deal. And no deal pretty soon, and in that event, Wejump Off The Cliff On To Wto Tariffs and nobody in this country, the people of this country dont have a say. Some Cabinet Ministers seem relaxed about the possibility. As it happens, we would be perfectly ok if we werent able to get an agreement, but i am sure we will. Mr davis admits the government is preparing a Contingency Plan in case theres no deal, but he doesnt think it is remotely likely. Look, its going to be tough. Lets make no bones about it, there will be tough points in this negotiation, but it is in everybodys interest that we get a good outcome. Parliaments debate about this bill isnt quite over, but after months of talking about the talks, formal negotiations will soon be under way. Iraqi forces have made more gains in west mosul, the largest city still under the control of the Islamic State group. Government troops, backed by a us led coalition, recaptured the east of the city in late january, after more than 100 days of fighting. Now they say a third of the west, which is almost completely surrounded, has been reta ken. Around 600,000 civilians are believed to be trapped inside. 0ur middle east correspondent 0rla guerin and cameraman nico hameon have been travelling with the iraqi forces. You may find parts of their report distressing. A rare glimpse of western mosul. Explosion. Urban warfare on a momentous scale. Caught below, Hundreds Of Thousands of civilians. This is the place where is proclaimed its caliphate. Here it was born, and here, iraqi forces say, it will die. 0n the ground, they are advancing, but struggling to hold what they capture. They pound is positions. Then frantic gunfire towards the threat overhead. An is drone, maybe carrying explosives. They manage to shoot it down. Well, this is as far as we can go for 110w. As you can ,hear there is a lot of gunfire in the area. There are snipers in position on this street. We have cover here, so we wont be moving from this position, but within the last half an hour or so, weve heard three car bombs going off in the distance. Weve also had a lot of incoming mortarfire you can hear now the sounds of battle. The is fighters that are in this area are putting up fires resistance. Up fierce resistance. Then the conflict came a bit closer. The man who didnt flinch is major alani. Hours later, he was wounded in battle. He is now recovering in hospital. Troops using every weapon, even home made rockets. Then the rush to retrieve a casualty. We cant say how many have paid with their lives, iraqi forces dont reveal their losses. But they have the extremists outgunned and encircled. They believe victory is guaranteed in mosul, in time. But ending the caliphate may not end is. General abbas is in the thick of the battle. He told us the narrow streets and civilian presence are complicating the advance. In front of is city, it is very hard because we need to keep to take care for the citizen. We need to be aggressive against is guys, we need to put very clear plan, to clear the area. That means we need to put a plan to survive or citizens. And as the fighting rages, more weary civilians leave scarred neighbourhoods. Where they have been caught between the militants and the army. Few may have endured more than this man. Is put an Anti Aircraft Gun near his house. An air strike targeting the extremists brought the roof down on his family. Three of my daughters are dead, he says. They buried my heart. My daughters were under the concrete of the house. They didnt let me see them before they were buried. As well as losing his daughter, and his home, he lost his leg. He prays god will destroy is, as they have destroyed iraq. 0rla guerin, bbc news, western mosul. Turkeys president erdogan has called for sanctions against the dutch government after it prevented two of his ministers from making political speeches in rotterdam ahead of a referendum on his powers. Last night dutch police broke up a rally by mr erdogans supporters in the city. The speeches had been intended to bolster support among turkish expatriates with Voting Rights in turkey. 0ur Diplomatic Correspondent James Robbins has more details. Not our usual image of the netherlands. This was the wound the dog left behind as riot police used considerable force against turkish demonstrators. They were angered by the dutch governments refusal to allow their politicians to attend a Campaign Rally in support of president erdogan. He is counting on the backing of more than a million turkish citizens living in europe to expand his powers back home in next months referendum. But his minister for families wasnt allowed to address them. The second Turkish Minister turned back by the dutch government. She returned to istanbul defiant. Translation in Holland Holland as a country that speaks of freedom and democracy we were faced with very rough and hard treatment. It is ugly of europeans who talk about womens rights and tell us how we should treat women in turkey. All this followed president erdogans far stronger language at a rally, denouncing the dutch as nazi remnants and fascists. Those words have infuriated several european governments, including germanys, mindful of the nazi occupation of holland during the second world war. We are absolutely willing to deescalate, of course these utterings of the president of the turkish republic they do not help and they are completely unacceptable. But this is also the collision of two electoral campaigns in turkey and the netherlands. The dutch go to the polls first on wednesday. Its been a tense campaign, dominated by the anti Immigration Freedom Party of geert wilders. He blames the Prime Minister for allowing immigrants in, and is set to make big gains. Its unclear how the weekend violence and the extraordinary diplomatic crisis with turkey will influence dutch voters, making big choices against a background of rising populism across europe. James robbins, bbc news. Rail workers in three parts of the country go on strike tomorrow, as the dispute thats caused months of chaos for southern rail commuters spreads to the north of england. Conductors working on the merseyrail, northern and Southern Services are walking out in a row over their future role. 0ur correspondent danni hewson sent this report from liverpool. It may have been business as usual today, but here in liverpool and right across the north, commuters are bracing themselves for chaos. From midnight, rail workers with the rmt union will begin a 2k hour strike, affecting thousands of passengers. I dont know how i am going to get home. Welljust have to see what we can sort out tomorrow. Itll be packed. A lot of people will be stranded and wont know where to go. Especially if you are not from the area. The companies affected are northern, the uks second largest operator which serves passengers across the north, including leeds, manchester, sheffield, newcastle and liverpool. Only 40 of their services will run. Merseyrail, which serves mainly merseyside, will run trains every half an hour, rather than every 15 minutes, and southern, which will still round 90 of its services. The row was triggered by proposed changes to the role of the onboard guard, changes the union says riskjobs and safety. We believe that services operated on a driver only, driver controlled operation are fundamentally less safe, and every train in the uk should retain a second safety critical person onboard. Efforts to resolve the dispute in recent weeks have broken down. 0perators say they need to modernise and safety wont be compromised. We put safety at the heart of everything we do. The independent Rail Regulator has the indicated this is as safe as Conductor Operation of the doors. This isnt about who opens and closes the doors, this is about giving customers what they want. For now, both sides are at an impasse and few expect tomorrows disruption will be the last. For commuters, the focus is is now on tomorrows rush hour, and how if it all they will make their journey to work. Danni hewson, bbc news, liverpool. Political parties in britain have been warned to protect themselves against potential cyber attacks, following allegations that Russian Hackers tried to influence last yea rs us president ial election.

To pave the way for the triggering of article 50. The iraqi Army Continues to make gains against so called Islamic State. Following a night of violence in rotterdam, turkeys president warns the netherlands it will pay the price for expelling his foreign minister. Meanwhile, the creator of the world wide web, Tim Berners Lee, has expressed concern about fake news, data privacy and the misuse of political advertising online. In a message marking the anniversary of the internets creation, sir tim warned against the loss of control of personal data, and governments scrutiny of their citizens online. Well, troy hunt is a web security consultant, and hejoins us from brisbane, australia. Thank you very much forjoining us. Why do we need reminding about dangers that we face, if our systems are secure . Well, we keep seeing abuses of it. So we keep seeing abuses of it. So we keep seeing abuses of it. So we keep seeing abuses of our personal privacy, we keep seeing abuses for political purposes as well. It is an issue which keeps recurring. At what level, though, does this security need to be ramped up . Well, it is a difficult issue, because when you see potential exploitation of privacy or manipulation of news at a nationstate level, particularly the likes of what we have seen in recent times, and that does go all the way to the top, which makes it an extremely difficult proposition to deal with, as well. Extremely difficult proposition to dealwith, as well. Sir extremely difficult proposition to deal with, as well. Sir Tim Berners Lee talked in particular about his concerns to do with personal data, but surely a lot of us, wittingly or unwittingly, have share the lot of information about ourselves. How do we claw it back . Well, this is really the point he is making. In fact, well, this is really the point he is making. Infact, one well, this is really the point he is making. In fact, one of the things he called out here is the fact that we have lost control of our personal data. So it is very difficult to know where it is, it is very difficult, as you say, to claw any of it back, to reach out to an organisation and say what do you have on me, and here is what i would like you to have on me. And control is within the hands of the organisations that hold the data, as opposed to individuals themselves. Why does it matter if they have data . There are people who say if you have nothing to hide, then it doesnt matter where your data ends up. Yes, that is a common view, the other way of looking at it is that you may not have anything to hide, but you also may not want to share your personal information. One of the things we keep seeing is that organisations lose our personal information. We see a huge number of Data Breaches where my information, your information, is taken out of systems and redistributed to other parties, and often that can have very adverse impact on us. It can lead to things like identity theft. It canjust lead to things like identity theft. It can just be a violation of privacy. We may not want to share this information with anyone else. How often, in your experience, the company s only address this when breach occurs . History would show the vast majority of the time, u nfortu nately. We the vast majority of the time, unfortunately. We very frequently see companies who have Data Breaches immediately afterwards come out and say we take security seriously. We sort of say, hang on, youre telling us sort of say, hang on, youre telling us this, because you did before, and 110w us this, because you did before, and now we have this problem. It is very frequently retrospective statement which is made by the organisation, which is made by the organisation, which is made by the organisation, which is evidence they didnt take it seriously enough to begin with. Just recently, is there one particular place in the world which is ahead of the game on this, and could perhaps teach other countries a few tricks . Well, the Global Nature of the internet means it is very ha rd to nature of the internet means it is very hard to pick one part of the world and the these guys are doing a good job of it at the reality is when we go online with often have no idea where the services are which we are using, and indeed, as Service Providers you frequently have no idea where people are coming from to use your idea where people are coming from to use your services. Idea where people are coming from to use your services. So this is a problem we need to solve at a global level, and not just problem we need to solve at a global level, and notjust at a geographic jurisdiction level. Thank you very much.
