Prime Minister David Cameron\u2019s seat<\/a> in Witney.<\/p>\n<p>While the Conservatives held on to Witney, that election saw support for the Liberal Democrats skyrocket, a swing Liberal Democrat leaders at the time said they hope could be the start of a nation-wide rejection of Brexit and PM May\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Congratulations <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////twitter.com//sarahjolney1/" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\"><code>sarahjolney1&lt;\/a&gt; and &lt;a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////twitter.com//LibDems/"&gt;LibDems.

the European Parliament\u2019s man appointed to lead the EU\u2019s Brexit negotiations congratulated Olneyn \u2013 sparking outrage among Brexit campaigners incensed by what they see is Verhofstadt\u2019s interjection in UK politics.<\/p>\n<p>Whether Olney will keep her campaign promise to vote against Brexit remains to be seen and depends entirely on whether the UK Supreme Court grants Parliament the authority to trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty.<\/p>\n<p>Open Europe Today, a non-partisan and independent policy think tank specialising on Brexit, said it does not believe the UK House of Commons would vote to block Brexit.<\/p>\n<p>MPs are conscious the referendum result is politically binding and if they vote against the wishes of the UK electorate, they could be threatening their chances at re-election, said Vincenzo Scarpetta, a senior policy expert for the think tank, in an interview with euronews.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy impression is there appears to be very little buyer\u2019s remorse on both sides,\u201d Scarpetta said. \u201cWe don\u2019t expect parliament to block the triggering of Article 50.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The UK government has remained committed to

UK\u2019s House of Commons this week passed a bill that, among its tenets, obliges internet users seeking to view free online pornographic videos to verify their age before being played.\n\n MPs in the House of Commons this week passed the \u201cDigital Economy Bill\u201d: http:\/\/www.publications.parliament.uk\/pa\/bills\/lbill\/2016-2017\/0080\/17080.pdf, bringing the bill one step closer to becoming law.\n\n The bill, sponsored by conservative MP John Whittingdale, contains measures that will improve access to high-speed broadband internet services, protect intellectual property and outlines rules governing data-sharing. \n\n The measure also calls for the transfer to the BBC of the management and cost of free TV licences for people older than 75 years. \n\n But part of the bill also targets online pornography and will force pornographic websites to put in place age verification checks on videos so as to prevent children from gaining access to pornographic content.\n\n If the bill becomes law, persons under the age of 18 will not be able to view pornographic videos and requires those 18 and older to sign up to an age-verification programme to have their ages authenticated.\n\n According to the bill, financial penalties may be imposed on those seen to be breaking, or attempting to circumvent, this age verification requirement. \n\n Whittingdale has been an outspoken critic of online pornography and has in recent years pressured social media websites like Twitter to self-regulate in order to prevent children from accessing pornographic materials.\n\n The UK\u2019s Minister of Culture, Matt Hancock, said the proposed Digital Economy Bill will create one of the most robust internet protection measures regarding online pornography, but he admitted the bill is \u201cnot a utopia\u201d. It does not, for instance, cover websites like Twitter onto which users can publish images and videos themselves.\n\n \u201cThere is a difference between websites that provide commercial pornography and platforms on which others can upload images, and getting this right among that second group is much harder than around the first group,\u201d Hancock said. \u201cAnd so what we are proposing to do is to put forward this bill to deal with the large swathe of the problem and to get this working properly.\u201d\n\n Those websites that do not adhere to the rule will be blocked, a provision that the Internet Services Providers\u2019 Association (ISPA) argues the government has not properly thought enough about.\n\n \u201cThe government previously said web blocking is a policy that is \u2018disproportionate\u2019, that technical measures can be easily circumvented and legal content could be blocked my mistake, so we are concerned and disappointed it has gone down this path,\u201d said the ISPA in a statement. \u201cThis change in direction has been agreed without any consultation, with no assessment of costs nor is there any certainty that it will comply with judicial rulings on interference with fundamental rights.\u201d\n\n Even Whittingdale, the bill\u2019s original author, is unconvinced the law will properly address the issue of young children accessing sexually explicit material through social media.\n\n \u201cOne of the main ways in which young people are now exposed to pornography is through social media such as Twitter, and I do not really see that the bill will do anything to stop that happening,\u201d Whittingdale told the BBC.\n\n The Digital Economy Bill was introduced on Tuesday to the House of Lords where it will be debated on Dec. 13. If approved by the House of Lords, the bill will receive royal ascent, formally making the proposed bill a law.","htmlText":"<p>The UK\u2019s House of Commons this week passed a bill that, among its tenets, obliges internet users seeking to view free online pornographic videos to verify their age before being played.<\/p>\n<p>MPs in the House of Commons this week passed the \u201cDigital Economy Bill\u201d: http:\/\/www.publications.parliament.uk\/pa\/bills\/lbill\/2016-2017\/0080\/17080.pdf, bringing the bill one step closer to becoming law.<\/p>\n<p>The bill, sponsored by conservative MP John Whittingdale, contains measures that will improve access to high-speed broadband internet services, protect intellectual property and outlines rules governing data-sharing.<\/p>\n<p>The measure also calls for the transfer to the BBC of the management and cost of free TV licences for people older than 75 years.<\/p>\n<p>But part of the bill also targets online pornography and will force pornographic websites to put in place age verification checks on videos so as to prevent children from gaining access to pornographic content.<\/p>\n<p>If the bill becomes law, persons under the age of 18 will not be able to view pornographic videos and requires those 18 and older to sign up to an age-verification programme to have their ages authenticated.<\/p>\n<p>According to the bill, financial penalties may be imposed on those seen to be breaking, or attempting to circumvent, this age verification requirement.<\/p>\n<p>Whittingdale has been an outspoken critic of online pornography and has in recent years <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"http:////www.telegraph.co.uk//technology//twitter//4806765//Twitter-allows-children-access-to-pornography-say-MPs.html/" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">pressured social media websites like Twitter<\/a> to self-regulate in order to prevent children from accessing pornographic materials.<\/p>\n<p>The UK\u2019s Minister of Culture, Matt Hancock, said the proposed Digital Economy Bill will create one of the most robust internet protection measures regarding online pornography, but he admitted the bill is \u201cnot a utopia\u201d.

It\u2019s important because it\u2019s the first reported symptom, patients with Alzheimer\u2019s, dementia, tend to say, \u2018I got lost, I didn\u2019t know I\u2019d lost my sense of direction.\u2019 So it will be very valuable for the clinicians to have a measure for how someone is doing on that ability,\u201d says Dr Spiers.<\/p>\n<p>In the <a

researchers would like to have volunteers play the game while having their brains scanned in order to see which parts are active and link this to patterns seen in the population worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>There is currently no cure for dementia, which affects millions of people around the

thrilled their home fans at the Stamford Bridge over the weekend by condeming derby rivals Tottenham to a first Premier League defeat of the season.\n\n Chelsea registered a seventh consecutive league victory with a 2-1 win against Spurs.\n\n Christian Eriksen\u2019s stunning 11th minute strike put Spurs in front only for Pedro to level with a spectacular curling effort just seconds from half time.\n\n The Blues sealed the three points when Victor Moses scored what turned out to be the winner six minutes after the restart.\n\n The win placed Chelsea back at the top of the table on 31 points, while Spurs\u2019 first defeat of the league campaign left them in fifth place seven points off the leaders and still hunting a first win at Stamford bridge since February 1990.\n\n Conte\u2019s tactical reshuffle towards a 3-4-3 set up appears finally to be working but it will be put through another stern test next Saturday when Chelsea face Man City in a top of the table clash.\n\n It\u2019s been a frustrating few days for Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino and his team, who were eliminated from the Champions League midweek at the hands of Monaco and on Saturday their winless streak at the Brdige was extended to 30 games.\n\n After the game Conte said: \u201cI am pleased, pleased because when you win this type of game, also a derby, a special derby, you must be pleased. But, from tomorrow, it\u2019s important to think (about) the next game against (Manchester) City, another very strong team.\u201d\n\n Of his side\u2019s slip in form Spurs boss Pochettino said: \u201cWe come from Monaco, that was difficult, that was tough, to be out of the Champions League, but I think the answer (reaction) of the player(s) was clear. Right mentality, right\u2026. good performance. I think we were better, but we lost, but I can\u2019t understand that.
