9:31 pm
hello, i'm lewis vaughanjones. you're watching the context on bbc news. one person died and houses destroyed — as severe storms and tornadoes sweep through the us. the impact has been felt from alabama and tennessee in the south stretching far to the north. aerial footage shows the power of the winds, debris strewn across roads and properties flattened. migration and border security is going to be a key issue at the next uk election. and today labour laid out part of its policy. sir keir starmer says a labour government would scrap the tories rwanda policy straightaway but would not bring back migrants who may have already
9:32 pm
been deported there. but the labour leader refused to commit to stopping the boats, saying he would not put �*false numbers�* on his plans as he laid out his proposals. as the first step in this plan, a new manifesto commitment. we will set up a new command with new powers, new resources and a new way of doing things — border security command. now this is about leveraging the power and potential of dynamic government based on a counter—terrorism approach, which we know works. an end to the fragmentation between policing, the border force and our intelligence agencies. a collecting of the standards, so the border protection becomes an elite force, not a cinderella service. well, new figures from the home office show more than gfx 9,000 people have crossed the channel in small boats this year. that's a rise of 35% on the same period last year. well a little earlier
9:33 pm
on the programme, the home secretary, jams cleverly, responded to keir starmer�*s plans and inststed that the deterrent of rwanda was having an impact on numbers attempting to get to britain. what we have found is that the actions we have taken drove down small boat crossings last year, drove down the number of people crossing by a third. the people smugglers have been changing their tactics. they've been forcing more and more people onto the boats. sadly, that's why we're seeing people losing their lives in the channel. we're determined to bring those numbers down. the numbers are going up. let me finish. what keir starmer announced today is a weakening of what we've already got in place, which will inevitably mean the numbers will go up even further, and because he has taken rwanda off the table, there is literally nowhere to return people
9:34 pm
to if they come from countries where either the regime or for whatever reason we don't have a return agreement. so where will he return people from who arrived from afghanistan? where will he return them to if they arrive from iran or syria? he's inevitably going to have to have in amnesty because he cannot return them to those countries. he would have tens of millions of pounds extra, 70 million, is it? no, he wouldn't. he wouldn't because the accommodation bill... so, the money spent would be completely wasted then? the facts are we have reports from migrants saying they are being deterred because of rwanda. the numbers are still going up. it doesn't matter a great deal what people say if the numbers are still going up. they will go up significantly faster and further under this halfhearted,
9:35 pm
poorly thought through labour plan. the point i'm making about rwanda is if people arrive here from countries where we don't have a return agreement or where we can't return them to, he will inevitably have to grant in amnesty because the safe third country, rwanda, he would've taken off the table. he was asked about the he dodged the question. unless he is going to have a return agreement with the taliban or return agreement with asad or a return agreement the mullahs of tehran. he's going to have to grant amnesty. and the point that we've made is this halfhearted, poorly thought through, pale imitation of what is already in place but without the deterrent of rwanda will inevitably see numbers go up. his proposals will make the uk
9:36 pm
the asylum capital of the world. let's return to our panel — annabel denham, comment editor at the telegraph and the american journalist, brian stelter. annabelle, journalist, brian stelter. what did you make a keir starmer annabelle, what did you make a keir starmer is a labours pitch to scrap the rwanda plan if they win the government and come up with their alternative? i government and come up with their alternative?— alternative? i think the tories have a oint alternative? i think the tories have a point and — alternative? i think the tories have a point and whether— alternative? i think the tories have a point and whether they _ alternative? i think the tories have a point and whether they say - alternative? i think the tories have a point and whether they say it's i a point and whether they say it's underwhelming and in parts it simply rebranding existing measures that we have in place, the centrepiece keir starmer is new border security command which will be tasked with cracking down on the people smugglers the government created the small boats operational command, which was a new within border force was that they were going to take on 730 new recruits or they would work closely with the military to try to stop the crossings. it is much as
9:37 pm
the labour party trying to put meat on the bones of their plan to stop the boats i'm not sure this is been altogether satisfactory. keir starmer of course has a point when he accuses the of pushing through a gimmick, a costly gimmick with the rwanda plan. i'm not sure anybody believes that it will be a successful deterrent there was polling a couple of months ago that found that less 11% of the british population thought it would achieve its objectives. —— less than i%. perhaps keeping the scheme in place after labour is installed in power to see if it might make some difference. the fundamental issue is that there are many people who are going to want to come to the uk, many of whom are fleeing war—torn countries and persecution and we have a long history of welcoming them. we want to maintain that whilst ensuring it doesn't descend in the kind of lawlessness we're
9:38 pm
seeing on the channel. it doesn't mean that people are risking their lives and dying by making the crossing. 0n those issues, i don't feel either the tories of the liberal dues labour party have a satisfactory solution.— liberal dues labour party have a satisfactory solution. let's head to the us. satisfactory solution. let's head to the us- these _ satisfactory solution. let's head to the us. these specific _ satisfactory solution. let's head to i the us. these specific circumstances are different but the issue the same for the head of the election, immigration, huge.- for the head of the election, immigration, huge. for the head of the election, immiuration, hue. , �* ~ immigration, huge. yes, i'm thinking about the amount _ immigration, huge. yes, i'm thinking about the amount of _ immigration, huge. yes, i'm thinking about the amount of money - immigration, huge. yes, i'm thinking about the amount of money already l about the amount of money already spent _ about the amount of money already spent by— about the amount of money already spent by the british government trying _ spent by the british government trying to— spent by the british government trying to prepare infrastructure in rwanda, — trying to prepare infrastructure in rwanda, raising the numberto trying to prepare infrastructure in rwanda, raising the number to but in us dollars _ rwanda, raising the number to but in us dollars is — rwanda, raising the number to but in us dollars is a similarity there in the united — us dollars is a similarity there in the united states to the incredible vast sums— the united states to the incredible vast sums of money that are spent on border_ vast sums of money that are spent on border control on the southern hordeh — border control on the southern border. americans look at all that money— border. americans look at all that money being spent and they wonder, what are _ money being spent and they wonder, what are they getting for that investment. what is the actual payoff— investment. what is the actual payoff when it does seem as if a migration— payoff when it does seem as if a migration as only slowed or stalled but not _ migration as only slowed or stalled but not stopped. donald trump, every

9:40 pm
completely out of the blue. partly because she is been highly critical of the label party failing to come up of the label party failing to come up with an adequate plan to stop the boats. where constituents are profoundly impacted by the effects of incoming asylum—seekers crossing the channel. she is considered to be to the far right in these areas as well, which did lead to some backlash for keir starmer. you can see the appeal of welcoming another conservative mp to the labour bunches, the second in two weeks after dan falter defected. it did look like a cynic go move from the leader of the opposition. it did look like political opportunism. however, on net it will have been beneficial to keir starmer. i think the optics of rishi sunak seeing
9:41 pm
that majority, that conservative majority that was so huge in 2019 being shaved down even further will being shaved down even further will be more beneficial than some of the negative effects of natalie elphicke personal position on particular political issues.— personal position on particular political issues. a series of severe storms and tornadoes have swept through various midwestern states over the past week. the impact was felt from alabama in the south stretching far to the north. this was door bell footage from kalamazoo in michigan. the homeowner — who posted the video on social media — sheltered in the basement with his family while the storm passed. while they took cover, trees at the front of their house toppled over — one after another. aerial footage showed destroyed houses, downed power lines and trees and debris strewn across roadways. these pictures are from alabama, but damage from tornadoes was reported in tennesse and also across 0klahoma, where one person was reported to have died.

9:45 pm
this is bbc news. now it's time for the panel. this is the part of the show that our panel get to talk about whatever they want to talk about. annabelle, they want to talk about. annabelle, the floor is yours.— the floor is yours. thank you there is a story this _ the floor is yours. thank you there is a story this week, _ the floor is yours. thank you there is a story this week, data, - the floor is yours. thank you there is a story this week, data, office l is a story this week, data, office of national statistics which revealed that a third of men under the age of 35 are still living with their parents the uk. and it found
9:46 pm
that women are more likely to flight the nest, more likely to do so in their 20s that it is men who are living in theirfamily their 20s that it is men who are living in their family homes for much longer than you would expect. i was sad to discover it was a third of young man who are doing so. there are various strands to this. of course the democratic crisis in the uk as indeed there are many countries across the west was that i suspect that men living with their parents until 35 might be playing a role in that. at the same time as a parent myself, i would be slightly horrified if any of my children were still living with me at the age of 35. whaen expects 11 becomes apparent that at the age of 18 they will move out, go to university and get a job and stand on their own two feet. perhaps that acting is some kind a deterrent to people having
9:47 pm
more children as well. this kind a deterrent to people having more children as well.— more children as well. as well is that, more children as well. as well is that. you _ more children as well. as well is that. you kind — more children as well. as well is that, you kind of— more children as well. as well is that, you kind of hinted, - more children as well. as well is that, you kind of hinted, all- more children as well. as well is that, you kind of hinted, all the| that, you kind of hinted, all the more serious note i suppose about housing, the cost of housing, promises to build more housing, all political arteries promised before elections are that's what they going to do and then they don't seem to get around to it. ha. to do and then they don't seem to get around to it.— get around to it. no. there is a serious point — get around to it. no. there is a serious point to _ get around to it. no. there is a serious point to be _ get around to it. no. there is a serious point to be made - get around to it. no. there is a serious point to be made here, get around to it. no. there is a - serious point to be made here, why are people not moving out of their family homes? part is that they moved back in during lockdown, this is a hangover from that. the moved back in during lockdown, this is a hangoverfrom that. the more important point as you say, the fact that we have a chronic shortage of houses here in the uk. successive conservative governments have failed to liberalise planning in order that more homes could be built. they have refused to build tall on the green belt perhaps liberalise on the brownfield sites we know that's very time—consuming and it can be very costly. labour is saying that they would bring in some kind of building
9:48 pm
bonanza, that they would be willing to allow house—building on the greenbelt. but at the same time the party has recently locked tory plans to loosen neutrality rules, environmental rules when it comes to new construction that could have allowed by some estimates around 100,000 homes to be built. i think there are inconsistencies with both parties there. i think the problem electorally is that young people cannot get on the housing ladder. and while young people tend not to devote as much as older people they will one day and i think they're going to feel very frustrated by the party that fails to enable them to get the keys to their first home before they reach the age of 35. remarkable statistics. brian come over to you. remarkable statistics. brian come over to yon-— over to you. the lightest story, bi est over to you. the lightest story, biggest entertainment - over to you. the lightest story, biggest entertainment story . over to you. the lightest story, biggest entertainment story in | over to you. the lightest story, i biggest entertainment story in the world _ biggest entertainment story in the world is— biggest entertainment story in the world is right now in paris. think of this— world is right now in paris. think of this as — world is right now in paris. think of this as a — world is right now in paris. think of this as a rehearsal for the

hello from the bbc sport centre. some big news to bring you from the world of football — kylian mbappe has announced that he will leave paris saint—germain at the end of the season. the france captain, widely regarded as one of the best forwards in the game, released a video on social media — saying he would always speak when the time comes. it clears the way for a likely move to real madrid. psg's lost to dortmund this week in the champions league semi—finals. the team face toulouse in ligue un at the parcs des princes on sunday, which will be mbappe's final home game. it's tight in the race for a top fourfinish, in rugby union's premiership. but sale have moved a step closer to achieving it after beating leicester, in theirfinal home game of the season. they won 31—22 in a bonus point win. tom o'flaherty with their fourth and final try of the evening. the win move sale up to third —
9:52 pm
with one game for them left to play. elsewhere newcastle's miserable season goes on — 17 straight defeats for them — after a 28—17 defeat to bath. plenty of misery to for zebre in the united rugby championship as edinburgh eased past the league's bottom side. they won 40 points to 14 in the scottish capital — running in six tries — ewan ashman with two of them. the win leaving edinburgh in sixth, zebre have only won once all season. stormers arejust ahead of edinburgh in the table — after a big win of their own in the night's other match. they beat dragons 44—21 in newport. stomers were losing at 11—10 at half time — but four second half tries — including two for sascha m—gome—zulu saw the stormers snatch the win. britain's daryll neita secured a thrilling victory in the women's 100 metres at the diamond league meeting in doha. neita clocked 10.98 seconds to beat american tamari davis byjust one—hundredth of a second. davis' fellow american celera barnes was third, while another british athlete,
9:53 pm
amy hunt, finished fourth. victory for neita follows her impressive win in the 200 metres at last month's meeting in china. there was also success for another british athlete. molly caudery beat reigning pole vault world champion nina kennedy with a jump of 4.73 metres. the diamond league season continues with the fourth of 15 meetings scheduled this year in morocco on 19th may. disappointment for katie boulter — who was knocked out of the italian open, after long—drawn second set tie break. the british number one lost 6—4, 7—6 to rebecca sramkova. she dug in, to save two match points against her slovakian opponent. but ultimately fell at the end, in a match lasting just over two hours. jimmy anderson could be set to bring the curtain down on his record—breaking england career this summer following talks with the head coach, brendon mccullum. it's been reported that mccullum
9:54 pm
recently made a whistle—stop five—day visit to the uk, to meet anderson and play a round of golf and tell him england are looking to build a pace attack for the future. it's not clear if anderson has played his last test, or whether he could get a farewell in the home summer. anderson is england's leading all time test wicket taker in tests with 700 dismissals, england will look to the young bowlers who had opportunities in the english side, will look to get more opportunities in next winter the ashes for that badge worn down under is the plan. jimmy anderson by that point would be 43 years old. look at it like that, understandable that england are looking at the succession plan with someone who is fitting into that england test site, knows what he's doing, knows the plan and is ready and raring to go. ireland have beaten pakistan by five wickets in the first match of their t20 series. ireland restricted pakistan to 182 for 6 from their twenty overs and, after a brilliant 77 from opener andrew balbirnie, knocked off the runs
9:55 pm
with a ball to spare. it's ireland's first win over pakistan in t20 cricket, and just their second agasinst them in any form of the game following a victory in the 2007 world cup. rory mcilroy had a solid second round of 68... three under. to keep himself in contention at the pga wells fargo championship in california he was in trouble athe fifteeth — his sixth hole — but produced a touch of magic to set up a birdie, one of three he managed through the round. a bogey at the last though means he's tied second, five off the lead currently held by american xander schauffele. and that's all the sport for now. hello. after another very warm and mostly sunny spring day today, what are the chances of this weather lasting through the weekend? well, at first, it is going to be more of the same —
9:56 pm
mostly dry on saturday, spells of sunshine. it will be very warm. but by sunday, signs of a change, some thundery showers as atlantic weather fronts start to edge in. but in the short term, this area of high pressure just about holding firm. underneath that high through tonight, we'll have largely clear skies. and it is possible, particularly across the northern half of the uk, that you might get a glimpse of the northern lights, the aurora borealis. there's been a lot of geomagnetic activity, a solar storm heading our way, so do keep an eye to the sky. it could be an impressive display, particularly the further north you are. certainly staying dry with those clear skies, although an area of cloud likely to affect some parts of eastern england, also some areas of low cloud close to shetland. temperatures overnight not dropping far, generally between 7 and 12 degrees. so into tomorrow, a fine start, some good spells of sunshine, any early cloud in eastern england burning back towards north sea coasts. now, there is just the small chance of catching a shower, especially up over high ground in scotland. could be the odd hefty one,
9:57 pm
the odd thundery one. but most places will stay dry. in the sunshine, temperatures in glasgow, for instance, up to 24 degrees. western counties of northern ireland particularly could just see one or two showers, one or two across the far north of england. but for the bulk of england and wales, spells of sunshine, just a bit of patchy, fair weather cloud. maybe a bit murky for some north sea coasts, but highs of around 25 degrees. now, as we head through saturday night and into sunday, our area of high pressure begins to loosen its grip and these frontal systems will start to push quite erratically in from the atlantic. so on sunday, the further east you are, a decent chance of staying dry with some very warm sunshine. a bit murky for some coasts of eastern scotland. but out towards the west, we will see some thunderstorms starting to pop up. quite hit—and—miss, but if you catch one, could give you a lot of rain in a short space of time. still, though, very warm indeed, with temperatures up to around 25 or 26 degrees. those temperatures certainly will not last. into next week, a much coolerfeel. temperatures generally
9:58 pm
between 15 and 18 degrees, showers or longer spells of rain, turning much more unsettled.
9:59 pm
10:00 pm
tonight at ten: the country comes out of recession, with the economy growing at the start of the year. but the prime minister admits it'll take time for people to feel the benefits. labour outlines its plans for tackling cross—channel migration, and says it'll scrap the rwanda policy if it wins the election. migration and the economy are two issues that could shape the general election campaign. we'll be assessing them with chris mason and faisal islam. also tonight: may i ask how princess kate is doing? she's doing well, yes. prince william, visiting the isles of scilly, says his wife catherine is "doing well", following her cancer diagnosis. prince harry and his
