this is bbc news. i'm ben brown. the headlines at 11:00: the government suffers its first defeat in parliament over brexit as lords back an amendment protecting the residency rights of eu citizens living here. that this is morally right and pragmatic in the interests of the uk and our citizens. if this was put into practice. many people on the leave side have made it clear that they want eu nationals to have the right of permanent residence here, provided they meet the conditions of residence. two british trainee doctors — part of a large group of students who joined so—called islamic state have been killed in iraq. sex education is to become compulsory in all schools in england with children as young as four being taught about healthy relationships. coming up on newsnight that the man behind some great tv satire. he will tell us about comedy and politics and whether he's laughing at politics now. good evening and

welcome to bbc news. the house of lords has dealt the government its first serious blow over the brexit bill — which will trigger the formal process of leaving the eu. they've voted by a large majority to give european union nationals, who already live here, the right to stay in the uk. the prime minister has so far refused to give any such assurances until british citizens on the continent get similar guarantees. the issue now goes back to the commons, where the government will attempt to overturn the decision. our political editor, laura kuennsberg, reports. they have voted, contents 358. not contents 256. so the contents have it. "wow!" you can hear them say. the lords beat the government

by more than 100 votes. a bid to force ministers to say people from other eu countries can stay here, and to say so now. it thinks to be a win— win for principles of humanity and honour. and i hope the house of commons will now follow the example of the lords and make sure it confirms this improvement to what was otherwise a pretty dire set of legislation. it's very arrogant to assume that your argument is the only one of principle and yours is the only moral one. once people start using words like high ground, principal and moral, i think it's a load of humbug. they voted so that nearly 3 million people, like engineer alexandrine cantor, whether from france or finland, poland or portugal, can have a guarantee they can stay in the uk after brexit. she got the keys to her new flat here just yesterday and doesn't want to leave. the first days after brexit was like a feeling of heartbreak. my fear is the job i left everything

for is now uncertain as well. i invest... now my life is here and i don't want to, i don't want to restart. i don't want to be in danger in my home. as we head out, the government's adamant alexandrine and others will be able to stay. but they won't give that guarantee until the other countries in the eu are willing to do the same for brits abroad. the clash had the lords packed, even rowdy. the peers vying to speak. with spot the home secretary perched next to the gilt throne, carefully watching on. we are bleeding the best academics from this country at the present time, who are leaving one by one, or are thinking about leaving because they do not see themselves having a future in this country.

that is urgent, it needs to be dealt with now. this is about the honour of this house. this is about us speaking to what people need to put theirfears and their anguish at bay. and we really have a responsibility to those people. why is everybody here today so excited about an amendment which looks after the foreigners and not the british? it's true. pass this legislation as quickly as possible to activate article 50, and then to negotiate to give these people the rights they deserve to stay in our country. are you ready for defeat today, prime minister? the prime minister is not known, though, for changing her mind. altering direction. but seven months in, she's not used to defeat. at least not yet. 0ur political editor laura kuenssberg reporting. two british medical students who went tojoin the islamic state group

have been killed during fighting in the iraqi city of mosul. the two men from london and nottinghamshire were part of a group of more than a dozen british doctors, many of them of sudanese origin, who joined so—called islamic state two years ago, as daniel sandford reports. what does the deltoid do? 0k? so a deltoid has anterior, middle and posterior fibres. he was the young british medic who joined so—called islamic state and made a propaganda video encouraging others to follow. ahmed sami khider, one of those who died this weekend, is seen here in 2015 teaching is medical students anatomy and pleading for other doctors to join the self—declared caliphate. to specialists, all the people who are specialised surgeons, medicine, anything that you can help will be great here. he was one of a dozen british students, most from sudanese families, who all went to school in britain

and were radicalised at the same medical college in khartoum beforejoining is. friends have told the bbc that he died at the weekend during this assault by iraqi government forces on mosul. he was in a convoy trying to leave the city and was killed in a fire fight. his friend, hisham fadlallah, was also killed. seniorfigures in london's sudanese community said that even when the students joined is it had been devastating, and this was much worse. that was a shock in itself. now it is much shocking now to learn actually they come to an end and they died in a cause which most of us reject. as the is—controlled city of mosul falls and their other stronghold, raqqa, comes under extreme pressure, it's likely that many more british is supporters will be killed and it's possible that some will try to flee back to britain bringing more problems for the security services here. police believe that in the last few years around 850 british citizens

went tojoin is in syria or iraq, around 400 have returned, some 130 have been killed, which leaves more than 300 still there, many of them the most ardent supporters. though as is slowly loses territory, it will be difficult for the remaining british fighters, in places like raqqa, to escape, many will simply be killed. daniel sandford, bbc news. for the first time, all schools in england will have to teach children about sex and relationships. under the plans, pupils as young as four will be given lessons about healthy relationships. older children — those at secondary school — will be taught about the dangers of sexting and online pornography. but ministers say parents will have the right to take their kids out of the classes, as our correspondent elaine dunkley reports. sometimes, i might not feel like a kiss at all,

so i won't give her a kiss, is that 0k? how young is too young to learn about relationships and sex? these six and seven—year—olds at goose green primary are learning about their bodies, and soon, it will be compulsory for all school children to have lessons like this. today, the government has announced that age—appropriate classes will be taught to children as young as four. i think there's been a history of everybody thinking that at four, five, six, everybody‘s going to be teaching their children about sex. and that's not the case at all. it's all maturity—relevant. the strongest argument for change and more up—to—date teaching is times have changed. children are more exposed to sexual images than they ever have been, through the internet and mobile phones. guidance that schools are looking to, in terms of how they teach relationships and sex education, was developed in the year 2000, and britain is a very, very different place. so it's really important that we have an updated approach that means our children are safe and protected. in primary schools, the focus

will be on building healthy relationships and personal boundaries, while secondary schools will highlight the dangers of sexting, online pornography and grooming. parents will be able to choose to withdraw their children from these classes, but this isn't just about the classroom. controlling what children see and hear in a digital world means parents have to be one step ahead of technology. my daughter is five. she copies everything that she sees. the dance moves, certain clothes that she sees. i go, no, you're too young. you're not ready for that. i need you to enjoy your childhood. you're a child. it's actually quite nice to know that kids are being taught about sex and relationship stuff at school by a qualified teacher. it will be hard for them to understand what's actually going on at this age. at this youth charity, they work to encourage what they call "healthy relationships" between young people based on respect. they don't believe the current system is equipping children with enough skills. but learning those ideas from a young age engrains

it in them, and then when they grow up and start having relationships, they have the foundation of what is a healthy relationship. in scotland, wales and northern ireland, sex education isn't compulsory, but all uk governments face the challenge of how best to prepare young people for life in modern britain. elaine dunkley, bbc news. president trump has used his first speech to congress to declare what he called a new chapte of american greatness. adopting a measured tone, very different to his more volatile tweets, he promised "massive tax relief for the middle class" and asked congress to pass a $1 trillion package to build new infrastructure. the president said america "strongly supports nato" but stressed that nato members "must meet their financial obligations." from washington, here's our north america editorjon sopel. they say that practice makes perfect. and when you're singing a new tune,

probably best to give it the full rehearsal. the president of the united states! donald trump's tone couldn't have been more different. warm, inclusive, unifying and optimistic. what we are witnessing today is the renewal of the american spirit. 0ur allies will find that america's once again ready to lead. applause. and for anxious european nations, supportive words on nato. were strongly support nato, and alliance were strongly support nato, an alliance forged with the bombs of two world wars that dethroned fascism, and a cold war, and defeated communism. not everything was from the new album. there were the greatest hits, too. tonight i am also calling on this congress to repeal and replace 0bamacare. we will soon begin

the construction of a great, great wall along our southern border. but on immigration there was also a suggestion there could be reform. and there were other measures that should have pleased democrats, like paid maternity leave and a massive infrastructure programme. but mostly they sat stony faced. the most moving part of the night came when he spoke to the widow of navy seal ryan 0wens, killed in yemen in the first combat operation ordered by the new commander in chief. ryan's legacy is etched into eternity. thank you. and then an appeal for america to seize the moment. believe in your future and believe once more in america. thank you, god bless you and god bless the united states. there is no doubt that donald trump is enjoying the rave reviews

he's getting from last night'sjoint address. but will republicans really back $1 trillion infrastructure plan, get behind paid maternity leave? will democrats come on board and act in a bipartisan way? there may be a new president, but the problems of dealing with congress go back generations. jon sopel, bbc news, washington. and a little bit of our own news to bring you now. the bbc news channel has won the royal television society televisionjournalism award for news channel of the year. the jury recognised the news channel for its coverage of the eu referendum, donald trump's election, the nice terror attack, jo cox's murder, the inquests into the hillsborough disaster and other major stories — alongside the impact of current affairs programmes. 0ther nominees included sky news

and cnn international. that's it, you're up to date with the headlines, now it's time for newsnight with evan davis. don't walk in front, please! this was boris lastjune. it absolutely clear that people from other european countries who are living here have their rights protected. and today, the house of lords upheld that same idea. contents, 358. not contents, 256. but it's not the vote the government wanted. it takes away negotiating flexibility, unless it's overturned. we'll examine the case for and against making promises to europeans here in the uk. also tonight: that's it, chris, it's war. war has broken out.

this is a war. that's it, yes, it's war. programmes like this took a long time to get over being satirised by armando ianucci like this “119911. so how might he go about doing the same in the strange world of 2017? also tonight, how can we leave the eu customs union without having a hard border between the republic of ireland and the north to enforce it? and what happens then? if you set up border checks, you are setting people up in static positions which makes it incredibly easy to shoot at them and as soon as they come out of those checks they will be easy to shoot out. —— shoot
