BBC World Service - BBC OS, UK MPs debating Brexit delay bill

MPs are voting on a bill that would force Boris Johnson to delay Brexit.

MPs are voting on a bill that would force British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to delay Brexit.

It’s another important day in the UK Parliament with the opposition Labour party and some members of the governing Conservative party trying to block Britain leaving the European Union without a deal. We’ll bring live feeds from the parliament as the MPs go along with the debate, and also hear from those protesting outside the Parliament.

We continue to hear from people in The Bahamas with more images being shared of the areas devastated by Hurricane Dorian.

And we talk about the backlash following days of looting and violence against foreigners in South Africa. There’s been a call for a boycott against South Africa over xenophobia, and Nigerian singers and Zambia’s football team are among those taking part in the campaign.
