Here’s what we’re tracking on Tuesday: [Alt Text]( Boris Johnson's suspension of the UK parliament was unlawful In a unanimous decision, the UK’s Supreme Court [ruled on Tuesday]( that Prime Minister Boris Johnson's move to shut down parliament in the run-up to Brexit was unlawful. The court’s decision undermines Johnson and gives legislators more scope to oppose his promise to take Britain out of the EU on Oct. 31. Opposition leaders demanded that he should resign immediately.

Decisions about intervention are ‘risky’ Former Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power [stopped by The World’s studio on Monday]( to discuss [her new book]( and host Carol Hills asked her about Syria. Power was outspoken during her tenure at the UN and at the time called out the Assad regime and its Russian and Iranian backers. But in the end, President Obama decided not to attack Syria after the Assad regime crossed Obama's own red line and used chemical weapons. “... these are really tough decisions and what I do in my book is bring people into those decisions and also explain President Obama's side of the story of what it would have been like, absent strong domestic support, absent a global coalition, absent a UN Security Council authorization. The risks of doing something like that were not small,” [Power said](. [Alt Text]( Franco's remains will be exhumed Spain's supreme court ruled on Tuesday [in favor of exhuming the remains of former dictator Francisco Franco](. The ruling could end decades of controversy over the burial place of the man who still divides opinion in Spain. Franco’s remains will be moved from the state Valley of the Fallen mausoleum near Madrid to Mingorrubio El Pardo, a cemetery on the outskirts of the capital where his wife is buried. Socialists in Spain have long sought to turn the Valley of the Fallen complex into a memorial to victims of the civil war, in which about 500,000 people were killed. Google wins ‘right to be forgotten’ case Europe’s top court on Tuesday [ruled that Google does not have to apply]( the EU’s "right to be forgotten" law globally.
