Government loses Brexit appeal
In-depth reporting and analysis from a global perspective. MPs will be able to vote on triggering article 50 - but why is Labour so divided?
The Supreme Court has ruled that parliament must vote on whether the government can start the Brexit process. We speak to self confessed 'Bremoaner' Owen Smith MP and Shadow Minister for Exiting the EU Jenny Chapman on why their party is so divided on how they will vote. Paul Moss reports from Northern Ireland about the Court's decision that the UK government is not legally bound to consult the devolved nations. We get the reaction of environmental campaigners about Donald Trump's decision to revive the construction of pipelines rejected by his predecessor. And why do Dutch children consistently rank as the happiest in the world?
