delay departure: House of Commons Leader Andrea Leadsom announced that Parliament would vote Friday on the 585-page withdrawal agreement that sets out the terms of Britain's departure -- but not a shorter declaration on future ties that is also part of the divorce deal agreed between the U.K. and the EU late last year, according to CTV. Its removal altered the deal enough to overcome a ban on against asking lawmakers the same question over and over again. But the agreement faced substantial opposition, even after May sacrificed her job for her deal, promising to quit if lawmakers approved the deal and let Britain leave the EU on schedule in May. If the withdrawal agreement is approved by 11 p.m. EDT the EU has agreed to delay Britain's departure from the bloc until May 22. U.K. time 2300GMT, 7 p.m. (www.immigrantscanada.com).

She pointed to Smollett forfeiting his 10,000 bond and doing community service in return for dropping the charges. Foxx recused herself before Smollett was charged last month because she had discussed the case with a Smollett family member. Magats has said that he does not believe Smollett is innocent and Chicago police say he faked the attack. She also insisted no one tried to intervene on Smollett's behalf, despite emails showing that Foxx was contacted by people linked to Smollett about the case. I believe that the outcome him having to forfeit the 10,000, having to do community service, based on the allegations, and again the low level felony and no criminal background, are an outcome that we could expect with this type of case, she said.

brett kavanaugh: To this day I regret I couldn't come up with a way to give her the kind of hearing she deserved, he said Tuesday night, echoing comments he delivered last fall as the nation debated sexual misconduct allegations against Brett Kavanaugh amid his Supreme Court confirmation hearing, according to CTV. I wish I could have done something. Biden, a Democratic presidential prospect who often highlights his white working-class roots, said Hill, who is black, should not have been forced to face a panel of a bunch of white guys about her sexual harassment allegations against Clarence Thomas. Biden's role in the 1991 Thomas confirmation hearings is among his many political challenges as he considers making a 2020 bid for the presidency. His comments about Hill drew swift condemnation on social media, with many noting he was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee at the time of the hearing. Should he run, he would be among a handful of white men in a Democratic presidential field that features several women and minorities. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

el salvador: The city said in a statement that it offered water and medical help to the caravan of 2,466 people, mainly from Nicaragua, Cuba, El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, according to CTV. It said the caravan included many children in the caravan, and some were suffering in the area's near-100-degree 39 C heat. The caravan walked past the city of Huixtla in the southern state of Chiapas on Monday, but police were lined up to keep them moving along a highway outside of the town, and did not let them enter -- a contrast to last year, when caravans were allowed to stay in the city centre. Such caravans aren't getting as a warm a welcome as they did last fall, when local governments and church groups handed out food, water and clothing and police sometimes helped the migrants get rides. It is a strategy to break them up ... to stop the caravans, said Irineo Mujica of the aid group Pueblo Sin Fronteras, which accompanied last year's caravans and the ones this year. Activists said that the Mexican government was trying to wear the caravans out, or stop them from trying to reach the United States. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

fellow members: At a news conference in Toronto, held hours before she was to travel to Montreal and move into her new home, Rodel said her fellow members of the group that came to be known as Snowden's Guardian Angels should be allowed to join her, according to Toronto Star.

campaign workers: On top of that, there was nothing that rose to the level of a criminal obstruction of justice. ; Trump's heaviest baggage The perception of those two findings leads to one inescapable conclusion Mueller has vindicated Trump, and the president was right all along on the question of collusion with the Russians, according to National Observer. For an administration that has been under a cloud for two years, that is the equivalent of hitting the political jackpot. After two years of wall-to-wall coverage of the Mueller investigation, Americans have been told that neither the president nor any of his campaign workers colluded with Russia in the 2016 presidential election. The reality of what happened this week is very different from the perception created by the rollout of what little information has been released. Which isn't to say it may not be taken as an oasis for conspiracy-fatigued Americans. ; The old saying applies here first impressions are last impressions. For that reason, Trump's claim that the Mueller report amounts to complete and total exoneration is a public relations mirage. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

ardern: While New Zealanders and Muslim communities around the world are both grieving and showing compassion for one another, they are also quite rightly asking questions on how this terror attack was able to happen here, Ardern said, according to CTV. Her Cabinet had previously agreed on holding an inquiry, but had not decided what level of investigation. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced Monday that it would hold a Royal Commission of Inquiry, the country's highest form of investigation. She said royal commissions are usually reserved for matters of the gravest public importance and that was clearly appropriate in this case. In short, the inquiry will look at what could have or should have been done to prevent the attack, Ardern said. She said the exact terms of the inquiry, including its duration, would be finalized over the next two weeks. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

decision today: The last legal restrictions on Omar Khadr were lifted when an Alberta judge ruled that a war crimes sentence for the former Guantanamo Bay prisoner has expired, according to Toronto Star.

Chief Justice Mary Moreau found that Khadr, between years spent in custody and under strict court supervision while on bail, had more than served his original sentence. I am really happy with the decision today, and I think it's been a while, but I am happy it's here, said Khadr, speaking to media following Monday's decision. Khadr, a Canadian citizen, was first locked away in Guantanamo Bay after his father left him with a group of Islamic militants in Afghanistan in 2002, when Khadr was just 15 years old.

caucasus region: That was also the reason I decided to become a policeman because I was exposed during my military service to blood and to fighting that took place in that time, at that area, according to National Observer.
