and domestic intelligence. this, the dw security correspondence on the spires is invalid and joins us now for the very latest. thomas, what more can you tell us about the spike case? this is turning into a very significant case. the person who was arrested by government officials is said to have passed considerable information from the european parliament, from european parliament proceedings to a chinese intelligence agency. javin. all 4 of these did not specifically mentioned that the person worked for maximilian call or for the far right a f d. but this is something that is be widely reported by several media outlets here in the country. in fact, the a of the sofa has said that they're waiting for further investigations. by that they see this as a very concerning taste. germany's interior minister nancy page that has said that this is indeed if confirmed an attack on european democracy from within. and there
11:03 am
are also already reactions from china dismissing these claims a saying that they are claims intended to discredit china. so all in all, this is certainly a very significant case. and it's such a neat highlights, a very difficult challenge for german security unintelligence agencies. namely, how to deal with these spying allegations. this is not the only spine allegation that job and he has seen in recent days. absolutely. i mean, we've got this one, we've got the 3 gentleman citizens arrested, a suspicion of spying for china yesterday. and then last week, they would, to germans, accused of spying for rush, so they will, so arrested wilks is going on. what else is making will of this happen? it's important to stress that there are differences when you look at potential or a ledge spying for russia. compared to a ledge, spying for china, germinal part is believe that when you're talking specifically about china,
11:04 am
it's more about gathering information that china could then use, for example, for military purposes and for business purposes. whether in the case of russia, german off ortiz see potential acts of sabotage when it comes to disrupting german support for ukraine. that was suddenly the case a few days ago. but all these cases highlight is certainly a big challenge for german security authorities at a time. not only when you are p in elections, european parliament selections up in a few weeks time. but also when germany's preparing itself for big events like the football european championship. so all in all, very significant challenges for japanese intelligence agencies in particular for germany's domestic intelligence agency, either tries to deal with these different kinds of spying allegations, whether they're coming from russia on the one hand, or whether they come from china on the other. absolutely, a real challenge and thomas,
11:05 am
we should just say that the person arrested today has just been confirmed that he is a staff member of the a f. these top candidates of the european parliament elections that has just been consigned. now, thomas bar, i thank so much for your analysis. the albertson's parliament has cost a controversial bill to send the asylum seekers to rwanda. now this comes off to 2 years of political wrangling and legal battles will make, has finally approved for legislation, offer a mattress on tassel between the upper and lower chamber of parliament. not when late into the nights, the versus prime minister refused to not because insisting the 1st flights carrying migrants will leap within weeks. but the bill is expected to face legal challenges . a desperate people making a desperate crossing. migraines take rubber boats across the english channel. a 32 kilometer journey to seek asylum in the u. k. britain's conservative government has
11:06 am
made its plan to deport asylum seekers to rwanda. the centerpiece of a policy intended to deter people from making the crossing. in april 2022, the home secretary struck a deal with the wanda's foreign minister to send people there while their claims were being processed. a 6500 kilometer flight from britain to central africa, the u. k. has already invested over 200000000 euros in the plan. hotels and rolanda had been converted to lodgings for migrants. still sitting empty, as, as the plan soon ran into legal challenges. the 1st flight scheduled to depart a military air base in june 2022 was a boarded u. k. supreme court ruled the scheme unconstitutional as saying it could lead to human rights abuses that prompted the government to introduce a new bill. declaring that rolanda is a safe country, despite the history of mistreating migrants. the bill also orders you k courts to ignore the countries own human rights act,
11:07 am
as well as international rules on refugees. the un human rights office wait in last month. the combined effects of his bill attempting to shield government action from spend the legal scrutiny directed on the call to basic human rights principles. supplements, comb with folks are international human rights and assign them related obligations . following legislation. we urge the u. k. government to take all necessary steps to ensure full compliance with u. case international legal obligations. other critics say the plan isn't just on lawful and humane, but wasteful and expensive to when government assessment says that removing an individual would cost $63000.00 pounds more than keeping them in the u. k. it's also unclear just how much of a deterrent effect the plan, whatever have despite all that, there have been calls within the european union to adopt a similar scheme. eager to cut down on migration other countries the, the plan as
11:08 am
a possible model. are you take our exponent? charlotte chelton pel has been following events for us in london and i asked a how realistic 5 minutes to refuse to next pledge is that the 1st flights the pushing microns to rewan the will leads intense 12 weeks? oh absolutely. he said nothing will stand in his way to get these slides off the ground. i think there is some skepticism also from the bridge public as well. they will know that the prime minister really and made a big deal out of saying that flights will be off by spring. that's of course, clearly not the case, but what the prime minister did do yesterday was set out some more logistical plans . he said, plans have been chosen, he said, and i field is on some by as well. so he did outlined and little bit how this what, but as i say a lot is still unclear, including on the number of people who will be put home flights, should they take hoffen and thieves that will be crucial to seeing whether all this
11:09 am
guns. why? cuz there's some kind of of terence going forward. and of course, the people who are desperate to make that crossing critics will say that they will still still go ahead with, with that risk or even the longest time we are expecting to see legal challenges to this disease. said individual appeals as well. and then looking for the even more into a, the next selection that's expected to take place to see the labor up position who are very much expected to win their against this and thought they've said that they hope that it will be scratched. so even if points do start to take off the question then going forward is, is how long will that be the case? you've mentioned the concerns, the worries about human rights, you an x, that's a warning. the if this bill passes and lines could actually become complicit in violating human rights if they used to transport people. so how is the government
11:10 am
responding to all of this persist, isn't yes, they didn't respond specifically to that criticism that came across, but of course, so the, as the airlines, they will be looking at that when they a good deal of concern reputational damage would be a risk for them, critics to say the government, they very much stands behind this. they say that as i say it's a one, a m p member calling the saying this morning. in fact, it isn't immoral is, is the moral thing to do to try and stop these. the folk crossing say very family pushing back on the suggestion that the criticism that has come from not just within the u. k, but all the other around the world as well. saying that this is, this is the right way forward. charlotte, thank you so much for that. the charlotte telson, pills reporting from london a gauze has come off control civil defense agency
