Their first focus has been on breaking international law. If they were unbiased, they'd report something like:

The key news by the evening was the controversy over international law, the secondary element being the why. So to me, it's a logical order given the timing of the programme.

If the news item was on earlier in the day before the controversy arose, then stating "In a move that the government describes as necessary to head-off a consequence of a no-deal Brexit, it is proposing a bill that does xyz." would be appropriate.
