The 328 to 301 vote, made possible by fellow Conservatives who turned their back on Johnson's pleas, cleared the way for Johnson's opponents to introduce a bill that seeks to prevent Britain from leaving the European Union without a deal October 31.
The bill has sparked widespread anger from NGOs, who have branded it repressive, but the centrist government insists it is creating a more efficient system to sift out genuine refugees from those simply seeking a better life in France.
A draft law that registers religious marriages under Turkish law is on the cards. Critics say the bill is in conflict with the country’s secular values, but those in favor say it’ll help protect a couple’s marital rights before the law.
After facing challenges in getting it through the parliament, as well as protests, the Tunisian government goes after media reporting on a draft bill that pardons corrupt regime officials and businessmen if they return some of the looted money.
