hello, i'm samantha simmonds. you're watching the context on bbc news. we have worked through a record number of cases and returned a record number of people back to where they've come. all of that is a plan that is working and we can see that it is working because the numbers of people coming to this country are down by over a third, mr speaker. kagame, is the uk deal working? the supreme court says that your country is not safe. is it safe for refugees? ask uk. it is the uk's problem, not rawanda's. - all the signal today from those rebels from yesterday is that most of them now will get behind this bill at this final stage.

uk prime minister rishi sunakfaces a crucial vote tonight on his plan to deport asylum seekers to rwanda. this is the scene right now in the commons as mps are due to vote very shortly on the prime minister's landmark bill. we'll bring you the results as soon as we have them. also tonight — pakistan recalls its ambassador to iran in response to a missile and drone attack on its territory. (boxed attack on its territory. and president biden invites congressional leaders to the white house to talk about giving aid to ukraine. our panel tonight to discuss all this is chris bruce, attorney and political strategist and susie boniface, daily mirror columnist also known as the fleet street fox. the british prime minister is facing another test of his authority today,

over plans to send migrants to rwanda. rishi sunak is trying to revive government proposals to send some asylum seekers to the east african country, arguing it will deter people from crossing the english channel in small boats from france. but he suffered the biggest rebellion of his premiership in parliament last night and two deputy chairs of the conservative party resigned, saying the bill wasn't tough enough. mps are voting on the prime minister's landmark bill. earlier in the commons he was pressed by the labour opposition leader, sir keir starmer. only this government could waste hundreds of millions of pounds on a removals policy that does not remove anyone. but he still hasn't answered the question. so i'll try again. what progress has he made in locating the 4250 people his government has apparently lost? we have worked through a record number of cases and returned a record number of people back to where they come from. all of that is a plan

that is working and we can see that it's working because the numbers of people coming to this country are down by over a third. mps have started voting on ammendments on the government's rwanda bill after spending a second day debating proposed changes to the legislation. there will shortly be a crucial final reading lateran attempt by tory rebels to let the uk ignore injunctions from the european court of human rights has failed. live now to our deputy political editor, vicki young. good to see you. i've lost count of the number of times we talked about a crucial test of confidence in the prime minister of this issue. explain why tonight is important and what can happen in the next half—hour or so. what can happen in the next half-hour or so.— what can happen in the next half-hour or so. rishi sunak has made this _ half-hour or so. rishi sunak has made this an — half-hour or so. rishi sunak has made this an absolute _ half-hour or so. rishi sunak has made this an absolute priority . half-hour or so. rishi sunak has l made this an absolute priority for his government. he said he is determined to stop the boats that he thinks this is the way to do it. it's the third attempt because of course previously the bills that

have gone through parliament have been overruled by the supreme court. this they say is there a chance and they say this will in fact do that. they hope to get flights off the ground in the coming months. it's been a huge battle in parliament between those in the conservative party. there is a large group of conservatives who think this is just about the right side of international law. there's another group who say it's got to go much further. that's what they been attempting to do in the last few days to amend or change the bill. none of those attempts have been successful because the opposition parties have voted against it. sizeable rebellion just that rishi sunak has had to deal with and as you put out there are three resignations or threat of being sacked as it happened those three have decided they're going to at the final stage, the so—called bible reading which will happen the next few minutes they said they will back it. in the last few minutes we've

as the fleet street fox — and chris bruce — attorney and political strategist. susie, what do you make of what's happening in the comments? seems a repeat performance, a bit like groundhog day. we've seen this play out many times but it does look like the vote is going to go the prime ministers way. do you think it will in if it does happen remove any threat to his authority in the immediate future? we threat to his authority in the immediate future?— threat to his authority in the immediate future? ~ , ., , ., immediate future? we seen a play out with the last — immediate future? we seen a play out with the last few _ immediate future? we seen a play out with the last few prime _ immediate future? we seen a play out with the last few prime ministers - with the last few prime ministers constantly having their competence checked by some at a flagship policy which their own starts cannibalising itself over. i think what's happened tonight is rishi sunak will squeak this one and it will be called a win. it isn't a win. it's like winning the battle but losing the war. fundamentally what will happen here is if he gets this legislation through the house a comma's tonight is still going to go through the house of lords words gets back out again. still subject tojudicial again. still subject to judicial appeals

again. still subject tojudicial appeals and challenges. it's not going to be probably active until well after the next general election which has to come in the next 12 months or so. even if it does start working at some point probably only i% working at some point probably only i% of the people who arrive on small boats are going to be eligible and be removed under this scheme. it's not going to do the things that richie sunak needed to do which is to make it look effective at doing the one thing he has been saying for a year or so that he's been prime minister is our biggest problem. he's been saying the small boats are a big issue and he would fix it. he says he has a great idea to do it, his great idea is the thing he has tied him to the mast on and insisted he will be dealt with the ship if it doesn't pass. but it's never going to work. he's put all his eggs and one basket and it's the basket least likely to hold any eggs. eventually

it will still one way or another whether he wins or loses tonight it's still going to choke him in the end. it's getting lost in his partnership in the long run. [30 end. it's getting lost in his partnership in the long run. do you think? this — partnership in the long run. do you think? this issue _ partnership in the long run. do you think? this issue does _ partnership in the long run. do you think? this issue does predate - partnership in the long run. do you think? this issue does predate him and he said his premiership on it. he did have a choice but to push it forward he's got to appease both sides of the party. when he came into power he said that's the end of the psychodrama. why hasn't he been able to bring that to an end once and for all as we head into a general election year? there was a time when richie _ general election year? there was a time when richie took— general election year? there was a time when richie took over - general election year? there was a j time when richie took over despite how we can the government was that he could of established himself as a credible figure with good political skills and who was able to control his party for the even despite not having the election he could've done that. the issues of party discipline when there were issues of politicians having to be fired or resigned and hejust politicians having to be fired or resigned and he just didn't take it, he fumbled the ball every chance he

got. therefore he lost the ability to the slim chance he had was gone. when it gets to that point he now has to find a way for the rwanda scheme to be the thing he's going to be talking about, they are talking about it. the trouble is there are two sides of his party talking about two sides of his party talking about two different solutions. this is not possibly something that either one of them will fix. he's absolutely between... i can't think of the metaphorfor the rock and between... i can't think of the metaphor for the rock and a metaphorfor the rock and a hard place. he is genuinely... you can't do anything right here. it's because he messed up at the start of his premiership. he could've been better and had control of the party but he fudged that. you and had control of the party but he fudged that-— and had control of the party but he fudued that. ., , , ., fudged that. you must feel sorry for him. first, — fudged that. you must feel sorry for him. first, it— fudged that. you must feel sorry for him. first, it certainly _ fudged that. you must feel sorry for him. first, it certainly in _ fudged that. you must feel sorry for him. first, it certainly in the us - him. first, it certainly in the us is welcome to president biden is got a meeting tonight at essentially about aid for ukraine which is being

also in the past few minutes you gave maritime agency has set a vessel has been hit by a drone off yemen. those attacks continue, whether that is by the houthis but it is something the uk and us and international allies are determined to try and stop. pakistan has recalled its ambassador to iran in response to a missile and drone attack on its territory. tehran's envoy has also been blocked from returning to islamabad. iranian state media say the strike targeted a militant group in the sparsely—populated province of balochistan. but the pakistani foreign ministry said two children were killed in the attack. a spokesperson called it a blatant breach of pakistan's sovereignty, and accused iran of violating international law. this was put to iran's foreign minister at the world economic forum in davos. translation: pakistan i is our neighbourly country, a friend and our brother. it's not the target of iran's

drones and missiles. the so—called groupjaish al—adl, which is an iranian terrorist group, has taken refuge in pakistani territory. we have discussed this topic many times with high—ranking military, security and political officials in pakistan. chris, let's get your reaction to the breaking news that a leader of the breaking news that a leader of the houthis is told the bbc the us decision we've been talking about to redesignate that group is international terrorist group will change a thing. they are saying they are at war against america and britain. how concerned you thinkjoe biden administration is going to be by this? biden administration is going to be b this? , r biden administration is going to be b this? , �* , by this? president biden is administration _ by this? president biden is administration has - by this? president biden is administration has already| by this? president biden is - administration has already talked about how concerned they are about making the israeli — gaza conflict into a regional conflict. this is exactly what's happening. it's escalating put up this is not the first time that the houthis has been designated as a terrorist group. the trump administration has done that, president biden took that away once he became president and now they are

reinstating it for that one of the reasons why it was taken away was because of humanitarian aid in yemen would be taken away for that we all know that yemen is within a very humanitarian crisis right now. there needs to be carveouts for the people who are being impacted within this. when it comes down to this, you do not want in active area within this. as we know it impacts global trade, especially with oil. were talking about humanitarian crisis happening in gaza, happening in yemen, happening in other areas too. president biden and the united kingdom need to come together and plant the style before it actually spills into other countries and other groups that are terrorist groups could involved. the other groups that are terrorist groups could involved. the us, the uk have sought — groups could involved. the us, the uk have sought to _ groups could involved. the us, the uk have sought to distance - groups could involved. the us, the uk have sought to distance their. uk have sought to distance their actions against the houthis against gaza they say it separate and trying to protect shipping in the red sea was only having to be re—routed over

victims and their families were initially told they would learn the findings in autumn last year. the rate of inflation unexpectedly rose to 4% in december — the first increase in ten months, up from 3.9% in november. the office for national statistics says tobacco and alcohol had the biggest impact on prices. the chancellor insists the government's plan to bring down inflation is working. you're live with bbc news. it is a saga that has dominated washington for weeks — talks over aid for ukraine. the biden administration wants to provide billions of dollars of help to kyiv — but many republicans are not so keen. to try to break the deadlock — the president has invited congressional leaders to the white house. in the last half—hour white house officials gave this update on what they hope the talks will achieve. this will be an opportunity

for the president and for the national—security team to make sure that members of congress fully understand the desperate, urgent need for weapons and capabilities for ukraine to continue to flow. as you know, the last security assistance package was december 27. there hasn't been one sense, there won't be won unless and until we can get some funding. and it's not as if the war stopped just because our eight stopped. the ukrainians continue to get attacked. let's speak to bill scher — he's politics editor with washington monthly magazine. what do you think a commodities talks? �* ., ., talks? and the out outlier with commentators. _ talks? and the out outlier with commentators. i'm _ talks? and the out outlier with commentators. i'm fairly - talks? and the out outlier with - commentators. i'm fairly optimistic this deal is going to come together. already the republican leader mitch mcconnell said he expects there will be a vote on it next week. but big obstacle is the house where you have more sentiment against funding

ukraine and less appetite to do a compromise on the border with it and whether the new house speaker mike johnson accepts the deal that the republicans forge with biden, the democrats, whether he allows it to come to the floor and tries to bury it that is an unknown. i maintain optimism that the pressure on him to let this deal get a vote will be too much for him to bear and he will let it come through. maybe some modifications.— it come through. maybe some modifications. what is joe biden coin: modifications. what is joe biden auoin to modifications. what is joe biden going to have — modifications. what is joe biden going to have to _ modifications. what is joe biden going to have to offer _ modifications. what is joe biden going to have to offer in - modifications. what is joe biden going to have to offer in return? modifications. what is joe biden . going to have to offer in return? he is going to have to offer in return? he: is already going to offer considerable concessions when it comes to american border security. we don't know the exact particulars yet because they haven't released the text of this agreement. but something that is intended to restrict the influx of migrants that we've experienced at unprecedented levels of the past couple of months. but even though it will offer

concessions to republicans, keep in mind, donald trump is not to like any deal that he did not forge himself. he is likely to trash it, pressure republicans to reject it and not givejoe biden a win and call it insufficient going to have that cross pressure on the republican speaker of mikejohnson republican speaker of mike johnson to republican speaker of mikejohnson to kowtow to my two trump or listen to kowtow to my two trump or listen to the centre republicans that say if you don't do this you're going to be abandoning ukraine, allowing putin to steam—roll ukraine and do nothing on the border which is an issue that we set as the utmost of importance. it's a big vice mike johnson will be in.— importance. it's a big vice mike johnson will be in. how big an issue is this going — johnson will be in. how big an issue is this going to _ johnson will be in. how big an issue is this going to be _ johnson will be in. how big an issue is this going to be in _ is this going to be in the presidential campaign? we heard a few days ago one congresswoman who supports trial this week pledged her and trump support for mass deportations if he's reelected. there is nothing in this deal that's going to go as far to the right, as extreme, as an anti—immigrant as

what donald trump is calling for. there is not to be a mass deportation in this deal. that's the kind of thing from paul used to say they should be rejected. but you're seeing republican signalling to the house speaker this is good of a deal is going get. if trump gets in as president next year it's not going to get better for us because democrats will resist whatever it is that donald trump proposes. and the way the us has the works you need a super majority to get most things pass. it's unlikely that if trump won the presidency he would have the help along. that's where the tension is going to be. those i think will do the best we can in terms of border security and help ukraine or reject a compromise and help ukraine lose. brute reject a compromise and help ukraine lose. ~ , ., ., lose. we will see how that meeting develo s. lose. we will see how that meeting develops- that _ lose. we will see how that meeting develops. that is _ lose. we will see how that meeting develops. that is the _ lose. we will see how that meeting develops. that is the scene - lose. we will see how that meeting develops. that is the scene live - lose. we will see how that meeting develops. that is the scene live in l develops. that is the scene live in the house of commons where mps are

in the final stages of debating third row on the bill. expecting some kind of result in the half hour we will bring that life. to state with us. hello there. the met office amber snow and ice warnings remains in force across northern scotland and the northern isles tonight and into much of tomorrow. these snow showers will come in thick and fast with some significant accumulations of snow in places. could lead to some issues by the morning period. elsewhere, it's largely clear that very cold and very frosty, probably the coldest night of this cold snap. so this weather fronts accentuating the snow showers across northern scotland and the northern isles. stronger northerly wind which allows some drifting and blizzard conditions. and we'll see further snow showers developing around some north sea coast, northern ireland and through the irish sea. anywhere where we have wintry showers ice will be a significant risk.

for most, it's dry and clear and very cold. north to south across the country could be down to —15 celsius central northern scotland. so it's a very cold start to thursday. there will be a lot of sunshine around, but wintry showers continue around. coastal areas could see a dusting of snow across some of these eastern counties. but the heaviest of the snow, again, falling across northern scotland to the northern isles. again, drifting and blizzard conditions perhaps in excess of ten will take you live to the house of commons. that photo taking place mps headed out ten minutes or so ago to vote on the third reading of the safety of the rwanda bill. they are filing back into the chamber to hear the announcement of what has happened, the result of that voting for the very thin voting on his flagship plan to send some asylum seekers to rolando for the rishi sunakflagship plan, we've been talking about it for more than a year now and we have talked about how pivotal it is to his premiership

this was potentially seen as a real test of his authority to see whether or not all of the tory mps would back him or not. downing street has said that they are confident that the bill will pass in this third and final reading. this was despite a major rebellion yesterday on tuesday went to conservative deputy chairman quit their roles to join around 60 tory mps backing the amendment, would toughen the legislation for the that's been the issue that some of these tory mps have said is just not tough enough, it needs beefing up not tough enough, it needs beefing up in some of their words. but in an attempt by those tory rebels to let the uk ignore injunctions from the european court of human rights and failed. this bill as we said is expected to pass but we will get the definitive on that in the next few minutes when the votes are tallied. we can hear that announcement. if it is past it will next go to the house

of lords, which can suggest amendments that it's not a done deal, it's not all finally done. let us bring susie in who will talk us through this, how significant this is for the prime minister and do you think he'll be a sigh of relief tonight?— do you think he'll be a sigh of relief tonight? do you think he'll be a sigh of relief toniaht? ., , ., ., relief tonight? know, if you to get the bill through, _ relief tonight? know, if you to get the bill through, the _ relief tonight? know, if you to get the bill through, the next- relief tonight? know, if you to get the bill through, the next job - relief tonight? know, if you to get the bill through, the next job is i the bill through, the nextjob is to make it work in run them my fundamentally different things to do in forcing members of his party to do something so we can have arguments with them he cannot go and have an argument with the people traffickers and not with the british weather and cannot move the english channel summerhouse. and fundamentally, the reason why people are moving around the world to more developed nations it's not exclusive
