1:11 am
g to be deported as to how they cases reconsidered high force. at reports, i gathered london's high court refugee campaigners awaiting a ruling on legal challenges to the british governments stated, aim to send the vast majority of people seeking asylum in the u. k, automatically to rwanda, to have their claims processed. and if successful to be settled there, for the most part, the judges found in favor of the government. though just as louis writing, we concluded that it is lawful for the government to make arrangements for relocating asylum seekers to wander and for their asylum claims to be determined in rwanda rather than the u. k. however, the home secretary must consider properly the circumstances of each individual claimant. the court ruled that had not been done in the case of 8 individual asylum seekers whose deportation her wonder was cooled off in june. after the european court of human rights intervened. people will have watched as to what we carefully

to day. and they will know now that that is a legal route open to them to challenge any of the decisions made by the home office. and between that situation and the possibility of appeals moving forwards. no one should think that this litigation is going away any time she certainly allowing individuals to challenge deportation to rwanda would undermine the government's claim that the policy would deter them from trying to get to the u. k . in the 1st place, this year, the number of people making the short but dangerous crossing from france is up more than a 3rd at around 45000 people. speaking in latvia, britain's prime minister, welcome the ruling will i want to deliver? is a system whereby if you come to the u. k, illegally, you will not have the right to stay and we will be able to return you to your own country if it's safe or a safe alternative. like rwanda, that's a common sense position. i think of the vast majority of the british public, it's my position and that's why i want to deliver is prime minister, the various organizations who are challenging the government policy have of course
1:13 am
expressed a deep disappointment at this ruling. but they're also saying that the road is far from run on an individual basis. asylum seekers will still be able to challenge that deportations to rwanda. and as far as a generic decision is concerned, that may well be grounds for appeal. i welcome the judgment from the high school today. the bridge home secretary has in the past called for britain to leave the european convention on human rights to allow it more freedom to act. if any appeal against this ruling were to succeed in the european court, it would leave her colleague the prime minister, who studiously avoided that question with a difficult decision to make harry faucet al jazeera london slat for you on the program. drowned attempting to cross the mediterranean, ate funerals held in garza as the families demand on says to use as white to see a feel muscle step down after calling his bluff and an online vote. ah
