between the unions and the workforce. there are five options being discussed, including the deadly strike action. —— including potentially strike action. you're watching bbc news. the headlines: voting is taking place in the house of lords to decide whether to try to get an amendment to the brexit bill. two british trainee doctors have been killed while fighting for islamic state in the iraqi city of mosul. the government is making it compulsory for all schools in england to provide sex education. that vote in the house of lords is

imminent. they have voted content is 358, not content, 256. so the contents have it. so the government loses. you can just hear the results. 358 content on that motion. it was essentially about guaranteeing the rights of eu nationals living in the uk after brexit. let's go straight to the chief political correspondent. how much of a blowers is for theresa may? that is a pretty huge victory.

some of the people are across print. a majority of 101. veterans are running high today. it has not been very sedate. they obviously feel very sedate. they obviously feel very strongly about this. it means that it will go back to the house of commons and they will have to think again. mps will have to consider it once more. and joints by the former leader of the level —— liberal in... at last, parliament has spoken. it was too frightened to speak up until 110w was too frightened to speak up until now on many occasions. was too frightened to speak up until now on many occasions. here is a matter of principle, decency and honour, that respects the contribution made by the millions of eu citizens that contribute to our country, the nhs. we have given them a guarantee now that will enable

them to feel safe in this country and secure. i think that's a really important moment. i hope that the government listens. it has been a brittle brexit, brittle for the country and many that lydia. this will not tied. —— this will turn that tight, hopefully. what about comments from the prime minister? she says that hope and expectation is that as soon as stocks started she will be able to give this guaranteed to citizens. exactly other countries that want to talk about it. —— is exactly other countries that want to talk about it. those other brits have societies that are organised. every single one of these societies, representing the million brits living abroad, sadie did this for those living in britain, it will make the case stronger. —— say to do this for those living in britain. we've

ensure that at last the government has to listen. this government has not on at the mandate from the british google. it has chosen the most extreme position. it has taken a position that i don't think it is honourable. the house of lords has spoken on behalf of of the citizens of this country and others. it will strengthen the case of britons living abroad. there is an argument that they who have voted on this have not made it a priority.|j that they who have voted on this have not made it a priority. i think they probably know better. all of them have recommended to us. i have received thousands of letters from britons living abroad. they say that this will strengthen the case. we

are assisting them to have that case made strongerfor them as are assisting them to have that case made stronger for them as well. it seems to me a win—win for principal humanity, decency and honour. i hope that the house of commons follows the example of the lords and make sure that it confirms this improvements to what is otherwise a piece of dire legislation. what about those that raised concerns in the house of commons and did not vote the way that the house of lords is it? take a courage. it is a matter of honour, helping those that have helped us and our country. it strengthens the case of those living abroad as well. what is the drawback? do you think that's theresa may will listen? she says that it will not help her as to cause for negotiation. she is not well—known for listening. the government didn't want the house of lords to have a say at all. just

compare it with john lords to have a say at all. just compare it withjohn major. even before the maastricht treaty was negotiated, he came to parliament and asked parliament to him help with negotiations. this government has sought to start parliament out of the process altogether until the supreme court told otherwise. they have perhaps been taught a lesson in humanity principle and decency today. also in parliamentary borough. i hope they will listen seriously. if they were to reverse it and it comes back to the lords, will liberal democrat peers said it back again? labour have integrated... in the end, of course, the elected chamber can insist but the elected chamber can insist but the house of lords have done something really important in giving them the space to think again and i hope they will. giving them the opportunity to back what is i think

an act of honour and decency. i hope they will take that opportunity. in they will take that opportunity. in the end, if the commons insists, of course the comments gets its way. that is what the constitution says. but having the space to think again it's really important. —— of course the commons gets a trade. thank you very much indeed. a resounding win for the opposition parties in the house of lords. we had for many of them talking, even some conservatives, at the sticking the moral high ground. —— about taking the moral high ground. there will be some watching this programme that will say that the laws have overstepped the mark. this was a brexit decision taken by the british people. the house of commons bus people. the house of commons bus people without amendment or change. narrative titles and lamented. people without amendment or change. narrative titles and lamentedlj will narrative titles and lamented.” will put that point straightaway to delete of the labour peers. as the

house of lords overstepped the mark? i think that's a big argument. 0ften we have this process. the house of commons looks at something and then it comes to us. all we can do is ask them to think again. what i think is significant as the speeches we had from people that have been involved in negotiations, people that a senior lawyers from all parties, saying this is the right course of thing to do. not only morally but pragmatic. i would thing to do. not only morally but pragmatic. iwould hope thing to do. not only morally but pragmatic. i would hope that the house of commons looks at this seriously and we did rates. —— and read the debate, reconsider. the argument is that this does nothing to help the 900,000 british people living in other eu countries. by taking it off the table, it is no longer a priority for france or italy. i heard that's knocked down several times to really debate. to

be honest, it's not what they are saying to us. so many eu national are saying that this is the writing today. it isn't the case. don't you think that the way to start the negotiation is to make this kind of commitment and that that mirrors the argument along ferrari citizens to it. there is a real danger that if the government doesn't give the certainty, not just a the government doesn't give the certainty, notjust a promise, we saw with the dubs amendment that promises are not enough, we could find ourselves in a difficult position and it's not being available to the end of the negotiations. your concern is that even though theresa may will skirt —— has said it will be a property that it won't be until the end.” think she will try but it is clear that nothing is agreed until

everything is agreed. that is a real danger. are we going to savour to here is that we to the citizens here? —— are we going to say for two yea rs ? here? —— are we going to say for two years? we are losing people for major injuries in the uk already. —— for major industries. how far is labour prepared to push us? this goes back to the house of commons. mps will have a say. what happens if it has been changed back again? i'm not convinced that the mps will want to hand it back. i know also, i've had a twitter message from a conservative councillor, he is for brexit and he thinks that i have the right argument. a lot of people that voted for brexit did not vote for this. they did not vote for this uncertainty. even ukip have voted

for this. i can't understand why. —— ican for this. i can't understand why. —— i can understand why the government are... their who do you don't use human beings as bargaining chips. there is the pragmatic case, we keep the people that we want and don't put our citizens in uncertainty. thank you very much indeed. leader of the labour peers. what happens is that once this process is finished it will go back to the commons, they will go back to the commons, they will be asked to speak again. it puts more pressure on the conservative mps that did not vote against their own government last time but that feel incredibly bubbly about this issue. —— incredibly

strongly. much more on that story throughout the evening. let's pause and look prepare yourself for a bumpy ride. 0vernight tonight, very lively indeed. especially england and wales. strong wind and rain and snow. the ring getting going across the southern counties this evening. gusts of 50 miles an hour or so. heavy rain across parts of wales, northern england and the midlands. luckily, that could cause some disruption. a quieter night further north. chilly here, someone to be showers across north—west of scotland. wherever you are, it will feel cold overnight tonight. a wild started the day tomorrow. it will be

pretty blustery through the day. the rain and. what i way through the central areas. actually, many of us will settle into it isn't there. a lot of dry weather. in the sunshine in the south, it will feel more like it. the odd shower at rest. —— out west. things are settling down quite nicely. more rain looms large to the west of northern ireland. scotland, wintry showers to the rest. it will feel chilly in the northern areas. tonight, things go downhill, across england and wales as the get through friday, disappointing into the beak —— and to the. a? about how far

north that gets. chilly here and milder in the south. be tempered by the wind and the rain. low—pressure dominates the weather really begin. another one coming off the atlantic. low— pressure another one coming off the atlantic. low—pressure means that there is rain notfar low—pressure means that there is rain not far away. prepare for wet weather at times and some strong winds. for many, it will feel chilly through the weekend. hello and welcome to one hundred days. it's a whole new tone from donald trump who gets good reviews for his first address to congress. the president is optimistic and conciliatory — saying he wants to reach out to democrats. the time for a small thinking is over. the time for trivial fights is behind us. his wish list, a trillion dollars for

infrastructure spending, more money for the military and tax cuts are his priorities, but how will he pay for it all? us stocks soar after the speech, but the former chairman of the federal reserve, alan greenspan, tells us of his doubts about the president's plans. america under donald trump will have 396 america under donald trump will have 3% more growth. that's how he's good to fix it and pay for it all. can you do it?
