they said rwanda has "a poor record on human rights" and also that if refugees went to rwanda, there'de a "a real risk" of them being sent back to the countries they'd originally fled from. rishi sunak said he's now looking at alternative steps, which would mean migrants could still be sent to rwanda. he is under pressure from his own mps, with theirs urging him to ignore the laws. here's our political correspondent, ione wells. today was judgment day. does the government have the right to send some asylum seekers to rwanda? the verdict, no. the judges agreed there were substantial grounds to believe there was a real risk that genuine refugees could wrongly be sent back from rwanda to countries they fled from, something called refoulement. the changes needed to eliminate the risk of refoulement may be needed in the future but they have not been shown to be in place now. the home secretary's appeal is therefore dismissed. they also agreed there hadn't been a proper assessment on whether rwanda is safe for asylum seekers. has your plan failed, prime minister? - a big blow for rishi sunak

the emergency legislation would be to declare rwanda a safe country, | be to declare rwanda a safe country that would be designed to make it harder for deportations to be challenged in uk courts. it's true that if the government back wants to pass very quickly in the house of commons, they probably would be able to do so, given they have quite a large majority in the house of commons. at legislation also has to be passed by the house of lords, and there, i think it would have a harder task. there, i think it would have a hardertask. both there, i think it would have a harder task. both on speed and on substance of it. even then, we still have the possibility of deportations, flights to rwanda, being blocked by the european court in strasbourg, under the european convention on human rights. that is what happened when the first plane was meant to take off for rwanda in june last year. that is what you have conservative mps, or some conservative mps, eagerfor have conservative mps, or some conservative mps, eager for rishi sunak to consider either leaving the convention altogether, orfinding

the government's rwanda scheme — or rwanda policy — was announced in april last year as a five—year triale east african nation. 0ver there they could try and settle as a refugee or claim asylum in another country. the government's hope was that the scheme would deter people from trying to come into the uk through illegal or dangerous methods. here's what the then home secretary, priti patel, had to say when it was announced. we ministers stand here today absolutely committed to changing some of the norms around the broken global migration system because for too long other countries and by the way, naysayers, just sit on their hands and have been watching people die. last year, 45,700 people crossed the english channel to try to get into the uk using a small boat, and that's the highest number ever recorded. just three years prior, in 2019, that number was only 1843. the first flight to rwanda was scheduled to depart with up to seven migrants lastjune. however, it was cancelled just minutes before take—off because of a ruling by the european court of human rights. a group of asylum seekers

to send asylum seekers to rwanda is unlawful. the israeli army is carrying out a raid in part of gaza's largest hospital — al shifa. it accuses hamas of using the site to conceal a command centre. israel has caused it's a precise attack. they say they have complete control of the hospital. and fears continue to mount of a possible volcanic eruption in southern iceland. hello, welcome to bbc news now, three hours of fast—moving news, interviews and reaction. here in the uk, there have been dramatic political developments with the country's supreme court ruling that the government's policy of sending asylum seekers to rwanda is unlawful. in a significant blow to prime minister rishi sunak, five judges unanimously ruled against his flagship policy to deal with illegal migration. they said rwanda has "a poor record on human rights" and also that if they go to rwanda, there would then be a "a real risk" of genuine refugees being sent back to the countries they'd originally fled from. mr sunak said the ruling was not "the outcome we wa

the rwanda scheme.is not representative of the country we are, and threatening to rip up every rulebook -- every rule in the rulebook is frankly terrifying and astounding. ben: the government says it will do the exact opposite to what you said some people are calling for. they will introduce emergency legislation to mark rwanda as a safe country, getting around this latest ruling. briefly for us, if the government is going to press ahead with that legislation, that changes nothing right now, does it? natasha: yeah, and just quickly -- it absolutely doesn't change anything because the supreme court gave this unanimous, extremely clear decision laying out all of the reasons as to why rwanda is a safe, citing extrajudicial killings and torture. this is absolutely appalling that rishi is wanting to plow ahead. i just want to add that this government has pushed through to legislations recently, both of which they promised the public would deliver. they are consistently failing to deliver because they are not
