7:05 am
we can stop everyone coming to the border. i've called the southern border instantly gets turned around and they're not allowed to apply for asylum. so there have been a lot of different legal loss. a lot of lawsuits about this, but a judge recently said, no, this is in human, it's in germane. it ends december 21st. so as you mentioned, the states, the states read lead by 1900 and republicans. they sued and they suited to the appellate court. that said, no, you've waited too long. so today, just today, they took it to the supreme court, and by 5 o'clock the chief chief justice had put out this order, basically giving it a temporary stay. former hollywood film produce a harvey weinstein has been found guilty of free counsel sexual assault in los angeles. the 70 year old is already serving 23 years in jail after being convicted of rape and sexual assault. at his 1st trial in new york, weinstein was found guilty on monday of other charges involving an accuser known as

7:07 am
ah series or this last. ready was probably the most difficult one. i am proud that the chick presidency finally solved the last piece of far the of the energy puzzle . once again, we have proved that her b e. o. can deliver points here to remember is that there were several different sides to this. on the one side you had the germans, the austrians, the dutch, who really were not sure about the value that a price cap could have, am, would bring this idea of a fixed financial value for each megawatt hour. and then on the other hand, you had or is one of the other sites you had several southern mediterranean e, u member states who really were as it were crying out for some degree of help. the greek minister, last week in brussels had said this was ground 0 for greek citizens, but also e. u citizens. the commission, the e u commission,
7:08 am
had wanted $275.00 euros per megawatt hour to be the price cap. the fact that it has been dropped to 180 gives you an tier of the lance that everyone has had to go to to find this compromise. the u. k. high court has ruled the government plan to said silent seekers to rwanda is legal. the people taishan policy was suspended in june after last minute challenge, but the court also says the cases of 8 asylum seekers to, to be deported must be reconsidered. hurry falls, it has the story from london. i gathered at london's high court refugee campaigners awaiting the 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 have concluded that it is lawful for the government to make arrangements for
7:09 am
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 you as we carefully to day. and i will know now that that is a legal route open to them to challenge any 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,
7:10 am
welcome the ruling. what 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 safe alternative like rolanda, that's the 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 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, they may well be grounds for appeal. i welcome the judges 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 full sit al jazeera london. china has reported 5
