but to really solve this problem, we need a clear and effective deterrent so that people know that if they come here illegally, they will be detained and swiftly removed. that's what this rwanda bill delivers. stephen kinnock is the shadow ministerfor immigration and labour. he's been giving his reaction to the prime minister's comments. the prime minister's performance at the press conference today was bizarre. very difficult to see what the point of that press conference really was. he is a weak prime minister leading a deeply divided party. we have seen shambolic warring factions in the conservative party over the last two days on the rwanda bill. what they should be doing is committing to labour's plan to really work with european partners to have a security partnership that will go after the current criminal gangs, after the criminal gangs, upstream, sharing data, breaking their business model. and rolling up their sleeves

and having some hard graft and common sense rather than these headline—chasing gimmicks like the rwanda policy. what do you think of the constitutional issue of the prime minister effectively lecturing the lords about what they should do and urging them not to critique government policy? the prime minister's comments on that were bizarre. the house of lords exists to scrutinise legislation. and the rwanda bill will now go to the house of lords where it will be scrutinised like any other bill, any other piece of legislation. they will not be treated in any way differently by the lords, it will not be treated in any way differently by the lords, but the lords will perform theirfunction, very important in our democracy that we have a chamber that can scrutinise legislation in a way that the lords does. again, i don't really understand the point that the prime minister was trying to make there. now, the prime minister insists that a deterrent, a strong deterrent is needed in order to stop the small boats. does labour agree that a deterrent is needed and what would your deterrent be?

yes, we have to have a deterrent, what is clear is that if you can only send 1% of the people coming across the channel in small boats to rwanda, that is never going to be a deterrent. you are dealing with people who have risked life and limb who are escaping violence and persecution, they are going to take a 1% risk of possibly being sent to rwanda. so rwanda will never work as a deterrent. what we need to have is much better cooperation with our european partners and allies so that we are working with europol, with all of the different authorities that are there to smash the criminal gangs, to stop them even getting those boats onto the beaches in northern france. and with that better cooperation with our european partners and allies, we can actually have a common—sense pragmatic approach to dealing with this problem, rather than these headline—chasing gimmicks like the rwanda scheme. two british rail workers who were jailed after being accused of theft by a corrupt police officer

with a history of racism have been posthumously cleared by the court of appeal. today's ruling follows almost 50 years of campaigning to clear their names. basil peterkin and saliah mehmet were both sentenced to nine months in prison in the early 19705 — over the theft of parcels from a south london goods depot where they worked. they were accused by british transport police officer detective sergeant derek ridgewell, who later admitted he was the thief stealing from the site. this particular case lay unnoticed until recently, and it was only thanks to the investigation by the criminal cases review commission that the details were found and referred back to the judges here. what happened in 1977 was that these two men were prosecuted and convicted, accused of stealing or rather plotting to steal tens of thousands of pounds worth of mail order parcels from a railway depot where they worked.

they protested their innocence, but they were convicted. three years later, the officer at the heart of the case was convicted of the same offence. it was only after his conviction that the allegations against him started to emerge. it was only after his conviction that other allegations against him started to emerge. but this case was actually missed during a review of what he'd been up to. that is why today, lawyers for the men say there has to be a new law so that any officer in the future who is convicted of corruption and jailed, that conviction leads to an automatic review of that officer's case file to look for potential miscarriages ofjustice. really today has been a bittersweet moment for the families of these two men, both the men have died in the years since their convictions, but they always protested their innocence. but today, as the justice said, he could not turn back the clock, but he could quash the convictions. a bittersweet moment, but also a moment ofjustice. the princess of wales is doing well after her "successful" abdominal surgery, kensington palace have said. prince william visited his wife

awards ceremony. martin scorsese was another big snub, missing out on best directorfor his another big snub, missing out on best director for his film killers of the flower moon, but that is nominated for best film but it also missed out interestingly on two big award nominations, lily gladstone, who had just won the golden globe for best actress, she missed out on a nomination for best actress here at the baftas, and leonardo dicaprio missed out, as well. but robert de niro just got in the best supporting actor. there is a lot to talk about. do you know what? i want to concentrate on the invisible names within the industry because bafta itself has described this award as one of its highest accolades, and this year recognising someone of a pioneer in cinema.— pioneer in cinema. absolutely. a curator here _ pioneer in cinema. absolutely. a curator here in _ pioneer in cinema. absolutely. a

it was the coldest night of the winter so far for most of us last night, but there is a lot of winter sunshine out there and blue sky today — including here in pontypridd in south wales. a few showers for western wales, showers clearing away from north sea—facing coasts, but still blizzard—like conditions in northern scotland, and we're set to stay in that cold air for the next couple of days before it turns a lot milder over the weekend, but also wet and very windy — already, warnings in force for heavy rain and strong, gusty winds. and there's an amber warning in force across the northern isles and down through caithness and sutherland for heavy snow until six o'clock this evening — as much as 15 to 20 centimetres of falling snow. blizzard—like conditions with brisk northerly—to—north—westerly winds and drifting snow, too. wider warnings in force across northern ireland and much of scotland away from the south and the east for snow and ice. elsewhere, the winter sunshine continues. still maybe a few showers drifting into northwestern wales, down through parts of south—west wales, and into perhaps the far south—west of england through this evening. again, those snow showers pile into north—western areas of scotland. there will be icy stretches

where we've seen the showers today, and maybe some freezing fog patches, too — particularly across the east midlands and down through eastern areas of wales, too. temperatures widely, of course, below freezing. but tomorrow we start to drag in some milder—feeling air, with more of a south—westerly wind starting to develop. the snow levels will gradually rise across north—western scotland, so the snow turning back to rain and to sleet — particularly for lower lying areas, of course. temperatures coming up slightly to between four and seven degrees celsius. it will be largely dry and there will be quite a lot of winter sunshine around again. as we head into the weekend, it's all change — we start to look out to the atlantic again, various weather fronts moving through. look at the squeeze on the isobars — it's going to turn really very windy. most of us will wake up to temperatures above freezing as we head through saturday morning. there will be outbreaks of rain again — possibly heavy at times — just drifting in from the west, so some wet weather but look at these temperatures — rising back up into double figures

for western spots as we head through saturday. warnings in place on sunday for strong winds for much of the uk and for heavy rain, too. it turns even milder into the start of next week. bye— bye.
