First, britains house of lords has dealt a blow to the British Governments plans to leave the European Union. Voted to house has give parliament a veto on Prime Minister theresa mays final agreement with the eu. It is the Second Amendment to the brexit bill that cleared Parliament Last month. The first after a clause to eject the rights of eu citizens already living in the u. K. What the house of lords have actually backed is an amendment for what they call a meaningful parliamentary vote on the final brexit deal. That was really a comfortable win, 366 votes to 268. So the backers of all this meant that amendment say its about theresawarning may and her ministers have consistently said this is unnecessary. It will tie the Prime Ministers hands and incentivize other eu countries to give britain a bad deal in the hope that the British Parliament will then veto it, but they were not successful. They did not persuade the lords. The conservatives do not have a majority, so what is going to happen is that after tonight, this brexit bill is going to go back to the house of commons and begin the process called pingpong between the two chambers. We will see what happens in the house of commons. Lets remember that the house of commons approved unconditionally the to line brexit bill as an indication of article 50 by the end of march by Prime Minister theresa may, and yes, it is the second defeat, in the house of lords, one that the government really aims to reverse and will fight. Will the majority in the house of commons disappear . In parliament be problematic . I would say theresa mays government is not happy at all and will be slightly nervous when it does get back to the house of commons. We do not have a confirmed eight but we think we know that it might be next monday and we also know that it might be in the house of commons in the morning and the house of lords in the afternoon. What we believe is that if this does go through the house of commons in the morning, we will have to see if the house of lords will again vote other amendments to block this. They have said all along they would not block brexit. We think the British Government is still on track for the selfimposed deadline of the 31st of march, but of course, we will have to see. Laura moving to hungry, where parliament signed off on plans to round up asylumseekers and put them in camps made from shipping containers on the border with serbia. Human Rights Groups have called it a violation of International Law. Hasarys Prime Minister called it a trojan horse of terrorism. The assemblies have approved the proposal with 138 yeses and with 22otes, abstentions. A resounding show a support for the latest proposal. As Parliament Approves the automatic detention of all asylumseekers in the country, he addressed the hungarian border polices latest recruits. Crisis willtion last until the root causes are dealt with. Until it is recognized everywhere that migration is the trojan horse of terrorism. Measures, allew asylumseekers, including those already in the country, will be detained in repurposed shipping containers while their applications are processed. Migrants who pass through a safe third country will be rejected in any appeals will be fast tracked into a three day procedure. The u. N. High commission refugees say it is deeply concerned by the latest piece of legislation. The new law violates hungarys International Obligations under International Law and eu law and will have a terrible physical and psychological impact on women, children, and men who have already come e through. Its not the first time hungary has come through has come under fire for hardline approach on immigration. The decision to build a razor wire fence sparked outrage as has budapest plan to take part in a plan to distribute hundreds of thousands migrants throughout member states. Laura thanks for being with us tonight. There has been a lot of outrage from human Rights Groups and from the u. N. Is hungary actually breaching the European Unions rules on the treatment of Asylum Seekers by building these camps and forcing people to live there . Without any doubt this is the case. Caseis in particular the in one directive of 2013 on acceptable conditions for god asylumseekers that allows for detention, but only in specific cases. A violation. His is laura hungary would perhaps argue that it was let down by the European Union and left alone to deal with the crisis over the past couple of years when there were literally thousands of people streaming across its border. The government would argue that it is had to bring in pretty harsh measures to deter people from trying to get into hungary. Can you see the validity of that argument . Next not at all. Legally it is not a good argument, because there are. Pecific measures likefficult cases, asylumseekers in normal prisons , that is for written by eu laws. Secondly, i dont see why such a announced at all. There has been an important decrease in the number of asylumseekers arriving in hungary in 2016 and 2017. These measures can also not be justified by the current circumstances. Laura and gary and right groups say theyre only hungarian Rights Groups say there are only 400 asylumseekers in a country of just over 9 Million People. Can we expect any sanctions from the European Union . I think we can expect a strong reaction of the european theission, because here, violation of eu law is blatant, and measures are absolutely unacceptable, without even speaking of the tone of the ,peech of the Prime Minister who is assimilating asylumseekers to terrorists. So all the conditions are there to expect a very strong reaction of the european commission. Laura thank you very much. The Prime Minister of iraq has been visiting troops in mosul after they captured the main government building from the Islamic State group. The jihadists are holed up in the old city. Fenwick is in Northern Iraq and tells us now how close the troops are to recapturing the whole city. Very significant for very different reasons. The first one being that it puts them in close range to the end goal, that being the old city of mosul and the fact that the key infrastructure they say they have recaptured is politically very symbolic. Its basically iraqi troops retaking control of the police ,irectorate, one of the museums where the oldest is ms in mosul , significant landmarks that were very important to them and to the people. Reasons, that progress is key. Nonetheless, these kind of optimistic statements as we have been witnessing for the past few days are to be taken with a grain of salt. Yes, they have regained control, but that control is approximate. The situation on the ground is very fluid. There are attacks being launched against iraqi troops by jihadist in the forms of suicide operations, car bombs providing explosive devices here and there, dropped off at drones at times as jihadist flyover those iraqi troops. Nonetheless these troops are moving, closing in on the old city and they literally are choking it off at this point, preventing any in and out from the old city. The recapturing as well as those bridges we are hearing a lot about is very important, the bridges that connect the eastern part of mosul which the troops feel they have full control of, to the western part of mosul. These bridges, was a been rebuilt, they will help the ferry men and equipment between the two sides of the city. But again, the end goal is the old city, and by all accounts that will be the toughest part of this battle for mosul, and it has yet to begin. Recapturing that part of the city will be extremely difficult because of the number of civilians who are still in there. Reporter exactly. Accordingf thousands to observers and residents who have described for us what the very narrowks like, alleys, making it difficult to navigate and maneuver heavy equipment through there. Its going to be close combat and the presence of those civilians will highly complicate the task of those iraqi troops who will have to avoid what military personnel call Collateral Damage as much as possible. Thats probably going to take the Aircraft Operations out of the equation. They will still be able to monitor activity with drones and aircraft, but those aerial equipment or the aerial support is not going to be able to bomb targets as it has been doing up until now because of the layouts of the land. It will be much too dangerous for those civilians that will because in a crossfire between iraqi troops and the jihadists on the other side who have no qualms about using them as human shields or hiding in those densely Populated Areas in order to take shots at the iraqi troops. At the old city as the sort of ultimate prize in this battle for mosul, but its going to be very difficult. Another factor is that the jihadists the iraqi troops are natives for mosul the most part. That means they know this old city by heart, much better than the troops who will be heading in their for that last phase of the battle for mosul.
