including rendering inadmissible asylum claims from anyone arriving by illegal route." leaving that bit aside. is that likely to be legally enforceable? how would that sit with the european convention or the refugee convention? i the european convention or the refugee convention?— the european convention or the refugee convention? i think with this sort of _ refugee convention? i think with this sort of framing, _ refugee convention? i think with this sort of framing, this - refugee convention? i think with this sort of framing, this is - refugee convention? i think with this sort of framing, this is one | refugee convention? i think with | this sort of framing, this is one of the big concerns. people who are critiquing the bill, in particular from asylum lawyers. 0ne critiquing the bill, in particular from asylum lawyers. one is people shouldn't be called illegals. the other thing is that this is incredibly difficult for people to claim asylum if they're not in country. what the convention says is that if you across the border illegally that should not impact your claim because for a lot of people, they have no other way to get to the uk without crossing a

border without permission. this is why there is a lot of concern around the government's plan. there is so few people who come through, and i think one thing the british and the french government want to work together, they can do right now, which is a set of 's a facility. they could do that easily now. i think that is really the route we need to see them go down — making it easierfor need to see them go down — making it easier for people to travel like visas and resettlement options. there are ways to stop people from taking these dangerous journeys and both the british and the french governments are to blame here. they could work together to make it so it's easier for people to make these claims the. is it's easier for people to make these claims the. , , g , claims the. is interesting. just some figures. _ claims the. is interesting. just some figures. i _ claims the. is interesting. just some figures. i think- claims the. is interesting. just some figures. i think it's - claims the. is interesting. just| some figures. i think it's useful claims the. is interesting. just - some figures. i think it's useful to put in context. according to the uk,

claimed they thought was a burglar, and they were carrying out a citizen's arrest. it was quite a powerful indictment of attitudes and some parts of the united states. absolutely. those three white men who killed ahmad armory, and this was in 2020. people might remember this was part of what led to some of the black lives matter protests. they were also around the world. there are quotes in the guardian from his parents, who are obviously saying they didn't think that they would ever come, and part of the reason they are saying this is when this case was assigned to one of the district attorneys. they recommended that charges shouldn't be brought —— ahmaud arbery. to see this day for his parents is a really important thing that speech to much bigger

issues. thank you both very much. we heard earlier from the chancellor the incentive will probably wait. that's it from the papers. coming up next, sport, weather and newsday. hello there, this is the latest from the bbc sport centre. manchester city are through to the last 16 of the champions league. they got the better of french giants paris saint germain. they had to come from behind after having the better run of play, too — kylian mbappe giving psg the lead early in the second half. the fight back didn't take long — raheem sterling on target for the third time in as many games for city. and gabrieljesus finished off a fine team move, as city made their dominance count. the win sees them qualify as group

winners, with psg through in second. liverpool were already assured of going through as group winners. they made it five wins out of five, beating porto 2—0. thiago alcantara got the first before mo salah rounded off the reds' win in the 70th minute at anfield. all four english clubs have sealed progression to the last 16. elsewhere, karim benzema was on target for real madrid in their 3—0 win at sherriff tiraspol. it marked a positive end to the day for the 33—year—old french striker, who had earlier been found guilty of conspiring to blackmail former international teammate mathieu valbuena. benzema has been handed a one—year suspended jail term and fined 75,000 euros. he had denied any wrongdoing and wasn't in court this morning because of his champions league commitments. a review of the way football is run in england has concluded. an independent regulator is needed to put the sport on a sounder financial footing and give fans more say in the way the teams they support are run.

the government set up the review after six big premier league clubs tried to form a breakaway european super league — while at the same time, many clubs in lower divisions were in severe financial hardship. we've seen football lurched from crisis to crisis over the last decade or so, and unfortunately, we haven't necessarily have the right levels of regulation in place to stop that crisis from happening. i think we've reached a point, and the esl was a trigger for that, where people are saying no more. this is about ensuring that investment interests are removed from football, that football can actually start to become something that's sustainable for the long—term future of the english game. that's why we're setting out today these structures, these recommendations that will actually completely change the landscape for football regulation. former england captain michael vaughan says he wants to be part of the solution to cricket's racism problem, after the bbc

announced he would no longer be part of their coverage of the ashes. vaughan was named in yorkshire's report into azeem rafiq's claims of racism during his time with the club. he has repeatedly denied the allegation made against him. the bbc issued a statement earlier, saying it requires contributors to talk about relevant topics and his involvement in the yorkshire story represents a conflict of interest. vaughan posted this on social media earlier, saying he was disappointed. he also said, "the issues facing cricket are bigger "than any individual case, and i want to be part "of the solution, listening, educating myself and helping to "make it a more welcoming sport for all." some of snooker�*s biggest names are backing shaun murphy over his claims that amateurs should not be allowed in professional tournaments. murphy was knocked out of the uk championship by 19—year—old chinese amateur si jiahui on tuesday and said afterwards, "that young man shouldn't be in the tournament." the world snooker tour said it "strongly disagrees with his comments", but defending champion neil robertson, world number one mark selby and three—time world champion mark williams have said they agreed with murphy, who isn't backing down.

we have seen today how this story has blown up and is still trending and all the rest of it, and it's madness, really, from my point of view. but for me, there has to be a line. you know, if there is no distinction between the pro tours and amateur tours, let'sjust have one big tour, then. and i think amateurs — very good amateurs, by the way — standing in front of professional players who earn their living this way is a problem. there's been a huge change to rugby union's international eligibility rules. world rugby has voted to allow a player to switch to another country after a stand—down period of three years from the team they initially played for. this will be a game—changer for the pacific islands, in particular, with players who qualify to represent tier 0ne nations via residency, for example, often opting to represent them instead. the change is something that former samoa forward dan leo has been

calling for for many years. it means there will be those players that have previously been _ tied up with tier 0ne nations under the one nation for life rule. - so, we're talking about some of the highest profile players| of pacific island heritage who may have played for england, - scotland, wales. australia will actually be able to give back to their islands l of heritage, which is huge. it will transform the pacific. islands, but it will transform, hopefully as well, i the game of rugby. that is all the support from us for now. we'll see you soon. there will be some lingering cloud overnight across carts of the

southeast. there will be some lingering cloud, patchy drizzle from the overnight across parts of southeast and the channel islands, elsewhere, the odd wintry shower possible around the coast, hail, maybe a bit of sleet over any higher ground. more showers in the far north of scotland, developing a bit more widely in northern ireland throughout the day, but for most, they stay dry and sunny, and it's cold, 5—9 celsius, down on what we'd normally expected at this stage in november. but temperatures actually lift up a bit across the north and the west through thursday night into friday morning, as outbreaks of rain spread in ahead of what could be quite a potent area of low pressure. it spreads its way southwards and eastward through friday and into the start of the weekend, potentially bringing not only widespread gales but, for some of you, damaging gusts of wind to take you through friday night and into saturday morning. and, as cold air starts to dig in, as well, the potential that we could see some sleet and snow in places even further south, but certainly blizzards over scottish hills.

welcome to newsday. reporting live from singapore, i'm karishma vaswani. the headlines... tragedy in the english channel, as 27 migrants drown trying to reach the uk. it's the worst incident of its kind, since the migrant crisis began. it's an appalling thing that they have suffered, but i also want to say that this disaster underscores how dangerous it is to cross the channel in this way. we the jury find the defendant guilty — we the “my find the defendant uuil . , ajury in the us finds all three defendants guilty of murdering ahmaud arbery, a black man outjogging in the state of georgia.
