and they have not looked like that for a few years without the long—running australian soap opera neighbours has filmed its final scene with former starjason donovan on a return visit to ramsey street to say goodbye. hello and a very good evening if you have just hello and a very good evening if you havejustjoin us. welcome hello and a very good evening if you have justjoin us. welcome to hello and a very good evening if you havejustjoin us. welcome to bbc news. campaigners have failed for the moment in their legal bid to stop a migrant removal flight to rwanda from departing on tuesday. united nations refugee officials warned the home office on two occasions that the plans to send asylum—seekers to rwanda were unlawful, but tonight, the high court ruled that 31 migrants can leave on a flight to rwanda on tuesday, although the case will now go to the court of appeal on monday

after mrjustice swift granted permission to campaigners to appeal against his decision. our home editor mark easton has been taking a look at the issues. is it lawful to give people seeking asylum in the uk a one—way ticket to rwanda, telling them to pursue refugee status thousands of miles south in east africa? the first 31 migrants are due to make the journey next tuesday, but this afternoon, campaigners were seeking a court injunction to try and stop any removals. the judge at the high court in london heard a claim from one asylum—seeker, as well as refugee rights groups and a trades union, that the policy is unlawful and it's irrational to claim that rwanda is a safe country for those fleeing war and persecution. the lawyer representing those trying to stop next week's flight, raza husain, pointed out that the home office has repeatedly claimed their rwanda policy has been given the green light by the unhcr, the un agency responsible for the refugee convention. that's misleading and incorrect,

he told the judge. this agreement is comparable with all our domestic and international legal obligations. priti patel has consistently claimed her deal with rwanda is lawful under the refugee convention, but in court today, a barrister for the un told thejudge... notjust once, but on numerous occasions, it was claimed, after the deal was signed in kigali in april, the un had two meetings with priti patel and told her the arrangement broke international law. and then, last month, the home secretary went to geneva with rwanda's foreign minister to meet the un's high commissioner for refugees hoping he'd back their deal, but he didn't. in fact, filippo grandi told the home secretary that the proposal ran...

the home office legal team, however, noted that more than 10,000 asylum—seekers have risked their lives crossing the channel in small boats already this year and argued there's a significant public interest in a policy that will deter people from making those journeys and undermine the activities of criminal people—smugglers. around 100 asylum—seekers are now in immigration detention, threatened with deportation to rwanda. in brook house, near gatwick, some have been on a hunger strike. one syrian spoke to the bbc. a translator has voiced his words. translation: i came to the uk because it's the only place - i have connections to. my brother, my uncle and my aunt live here. if i end up in rwanda, my future and the future of my two kids will be destroyed. the home office had always expected a legal challenge. however, there is another court application on monday, and it remains to be seen whether other individual applications might still be thrown out. joining me now is zoe bantleman,

legal director at the immigration law practitioners' association. they're a group that works to promote and improve advice and representation in immigration, asylum and nationality law. thank you very much for being with us. the first thing to say about this case of course is a go straight to an appeal on monday. what grounds do you think remain open for those who are trying to prevent these flights taking place?— flights taking place? significant rounds. flights taking place? significant grounds- it's — flights taking place? significant grounds. it's not _ flights taking place? significant grounds. it's not nearly - flights taking place? significant grounds. it's not nearly the - flights taking place? significant. grounds. it's not nearly the appeal which the court of the peel will hear from today's injunction. which the court of the peel will hearfrom today's injunction. it's also the case that the high court will hear, a separate core application from a solemn aid, which we understand seeks to challenge the short time frames of people have to present their case against removal. the current way of the home secretary is operating this process if she is defending people seeking

asylum only allowing them seven days to find a lawyer and make representations before she makes a decision and give them five days notice of a flight to send them to rwanda. these are extremely short time frames and they can affect limit the ability to access justice. please carry on. sorry. i limit the ability to access 'ustice. please carry on. sorryh limit the ability to access 'ustice. please carry on. sorry. i was also auoin to please carry on. sorry. i was also going to say _ please carry on. sorry. i was also going to say the _ please carry on. sorry. i was also going to say the injunction - going to say the injunction application of detention action from calais and the bcs unit which would refuse today but there is still the broader policy challenge as to whether the policy is lawful and that will go ahead in the coming weeks. , , ., . that will go ahead in the coming weeks. , ., ., , that will go ahead in the coming weeks. , ., ., _ weeks. just on that broader policy cuestion, weeks. just on that broader policy question, though, _ weeks. just on that broader policy question, though, this _ weeks. just on that broader policy j question, though, this operatively comes under... they put it another way, it under review of government actionjudicially and if way, it under review of government action judicially and if it does for thatis action judicially and if it does for that is how they follow the procedure correctly rather than the actual rights and wrongs of the policy? figs actual rights and wrongs of the oli ? �* , , ., actual rights and wrongs of the oli ? m actual rights and wrongs of the oli ? a ., actual rights and wrongs of the oli ., policy? as you said earlier in your reca - , policy? as you said earlier in your recap. it's — policy? as you said earlier in your recap, it's about _ policy? as you said earlier in your

finding that rwanda is a safe third country to send people to. yes, and on that it seems _ country to send people to. yes, and on that it seems that _ country to send people to. yes, and on that it seems that the _ country to send people to. yes, and on that it seems that the court - on that it seems that the court did not think it was and did not regard that as on adequate case for stopping for a general relief that would freeze these flights. the appeal takes place in their other legal challenges to this policy but more broadly, what does your organisation make of the way the law is being used at the moment to deal with asylum—seekers because the moment one of the criticisms is has been there is not actually an alternative route for asylum—seekers to come and seek asylum in this country and that that may be one of the factors that is driving them to take the risks to life that is involved for example in trying to cross the english channel? yes. involved for example in trying to cross the english channel? yes, i think that is _ cross the english channel? yes, i think that is the _ cross the english channel? yes, i think that is the real _ cross the english channel? yes, i think that is the real question - cross the english channel? yes, i| think that is the real question and the real question is how do we unravel the mask that underpins disagreement between the and rwanda. the home secretary has been very clear that she thinks it's based on deterrence and stopping people smugglers and that there are safer

roots but let's not forget that even her permanent secretary said that he could not see sufficient evidence for the deterrent effect and the several thousand people that have arrived on small boats in may, after this policy was announced on the a0 of april, strongly suggest that it has not had an effective... he has not been an effective deterrent but is notjust that not been an effective deterrent but is not just that the not been an effective deterrent but is notjust that the policy is not intended to be a deterrent but it does not apply only to those who came since the memorandum of understanding was signed on the 13th of april but it applies to those who came since the 1st of january this year and before there was any agreement with rwanda who have not been deterred and may have already been deterred and may have already been smuggled. the government also wants to argue there are safer roots but where are the safe routes for the vulnerable women, girls, lgbtq i a class we left in afghanistan and not in the afghan citizen

resettlement scheme which remains closed nine months after operation pending and they have no other choice but to make the very dangerous perilous journeys that the home secretary seeks to deter them from making. home secretary seeks to deter them from making-— from making. zealot, legal director of immigration _ from making. zealot, legal director of immigration law— from making. zealot, legal director of immigration law practice, - from making. zealot, legal director of immigration law practice, thankl of immigration law practice, thank you very much. and we'll find out how this story and many others are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30pm and 11:30pm this evening in the papers. our guestsjoining me tonight are polly mackenzie, who's the chief executive of the cross—party think tank demos, and david bond, the deputy political editor at the evening standard. borisjohnson has ordered ministers to do "everything in their power" to secure the release of two britons who've been condemned to death by russian authorities in eastern ukraine. aiden aslin and shaun pinner were captured while fighting with the ukrainian army and put on trial as mercenaries alongside a third man, a moroccan national saaudun brahim. the trial, by a court in the so—called people's republic of donetsk, has been dismissed

as a "sham" by the uk government. the families of the british men insist they are long—serving members of the ukrainian military and not mercenaries. our diplomatic correspondent james landale reports. aiden aslin and shaun pinner, from britain. either side of saaudun brahim from morocco. all member of the ukraine's armed forces, all convicted of being mercenaries, all facing the sentence of death. these pictures show the two britons' military unit on patrol in eastern ukraine in 2020, two years before the latest russian invasion. both men talking openly about why they had chosen to live in ukraine and serve in its army. i've been here two years now and love it. made a life here, settled down, got a girlfriend in mariupol, plan to get married maybe. and now i'm in the marines in ukraine.

in a sense, like, it is like my war, because even though i'm not ukrainian, this is on my doorstep. but this court in russian—held eastern ukraine hasjudged both men to be mercenaries, a court not recognised internationally. we're not showing footage of the trial inside, but russian state media said the men had a month to appeal. the foreign secretary, liz truss, discussed the two britons on the phone this morning with her ukrainian counterparts. and in a tweet afterwards, she said the men were prisoners of war and the judgment against them was an egregious breach of the geneva conventions, the treaties that set out the rules of war. she's been ordered by borisjohnson to do everything in her power to secure their release. but the foreign office had a dilemma. if it makes a noise and summons the russian ambassador, it risks turning this into a bilateral row between london and moscow, adding fuel to the false idea these two men are british mercenaries.

so, the emphasis instead is on helping ukraine protect two of its own servicemen. ukraine's ambassador here told me he was confident the men would be released. we consider these people as part of the regular- ukrainian armed forces, _ and should be treated the same way as we're treating the russian soldiers in our captivity. - so, we are preparing the exchanges, and in the coming days, _ they will be exchanged. doing amazing. for now, high—level contact between britain and ukraine continue. the defence secretary visited kyiv this week to meet president zelensky and discuss ukraine's latest military needs. and international pressure is growing, too. the united nations in geneva voiced its concerns about the sentences and the fairness of the hearings. such trials against prisoners of war amount to a war crime. so, for now, the fate of aiden aslin and shaun pinner remains uncertain. their families are said to be anxious and keen to ensure they have

access to health services and legal advice. james landale, bbc news. our correspondent emma vardy has got to know aiden aslin's family. she's been telling us how they're coping with this. don't forget, before this supposed a trial, aiden aslin was paraded on russian television looking bruised, in handcuffs, being interrogated for russian audiences to see. you know, it was bizarre and disturbing viewing, and of course many people here agree that is in a breach of the geneva conventions. so, extremely difficult for families to watch. now, aiden has been allowed some phone calls home to his mother since he's been held captive, and in fact, those holding him have contacted his mother themselves and he's been allowed some brief conversations. but everyone who knows aiden certainly doesn't believe he's being able to speak freely. the families continue to hope there can be some negotiated prisoner exchange. the foreign office is supporting the families, but of course the foreign office is quite limited in what it can do in

these circumstances. aiden and shaun had very much made ukraine their second home before the russian invasion. aiden's family, in fact, had been to visit him in ukraine shortly before the invasion. but it is, of course, a very different place now. they were very proud of him for having passed out as a marine, but for shaun and aiden now, it may be a very long road ahead. more than half of all households in britain have reduced their spending on gas and electricity because of concerns over the sharply rising cost of living. new figures released by the office for national statistics show that 77% of adults are worried or very worried about rising costs, with almost half the respondents saying they had reduced the number of items in their food shopping. government figures also show that 22% of pupils in england now qualify for free school meals, and the cost of filling an average family car with petrol has hit £100 for the first time. our social affairs correspondent michael buchanan reports on the impact of rising prices in slade green in south london.

once we've paid all our bills, there's nothing left, nothing. i've had a stroke, covid—19, but i was fit, i was active, working, a0 grand a year, gone. don't do mashed potatoes, takes too long for the gas. | i've lost two stone - because i literallyjust walk everywhere cos i can't afford the fuel. - running the slade green food bank can feel never—ending. hundreds of people are fed from this small hall in south—east london each week. families that once just about managed are now barely surviving. my energy prices have gone up from £90 a month to £300 a month. i've got a car, but the mot runs out next week so i can't afford to put it through another mot so i'm going to have to scrap my car. michelle and her husband were laid off when the company they worked for went under during the pandemic. i'm actually registered disabled,

so when you do apply for a job, no one wants to hire me because there are so many able—bodied people out there. our heating's off. we all have a rota of when we're allowed to have a shower, so every other day we have a shower. we don't have any butter left, i'm afraid, sorry. i butjust as the need is increasing, so donations are falling. i've got no baby milk, and i've got no chocolate spread. over several days, we regularly saw the food bank run out of various basic supplies. everything's going up in the shops, so not only are we seeing the knock—on effect of people not being able to afford to donate, but we're also not being able to go out and buy it ourselves because of the prices. slade green is an area of relatively high unemployment and low wages. the lack of money creates stress. domestic violence is a significant issue, and mental health problems are rocketing. this small group meet up weekly for a walk, an attempt to tackle isolation. all my bills, gas and. electric, has gone up. sue bailey, who suffers from anxiety, told me about the mental impact

of rising costs. yeah, you do struggle, i and that doesn't help you, your mental health. i mean, you try and brush it off when you're out - and about with people, but then |you go back indoors and you sit| in there and that's _ when you start to think about it. and things like this i think do help. - stretched finances create other health problems, too. eating cheap but often unhealthy foods is increasing obesity levels, while some people can't afford even basic medicines. you're going to get more people coming in for paracetamol and that because they get free prescriptions where they can't afford a box of paracetamol. not that we can prescribe that because obviously there are certain things they can buy over the counter. but it's really, really hard for people to actually have that disposable income. that's brilliant, thanks. ministers say they're protecting 8 million vulnerable families, giving them at least £1200 this year in direct payments. but until that help feels real, many families will continue to struggle. i haven't done washing for about

a week, and it's piling up. because it's either you do the washing and you run out of electric, or you don't do the electric and you do the washing by hand. i never thought i'd be this desperate in 2022. it is horrendous. more people need help getting food today than did so during the pandemic. a basic requirement to eat has become a daily, sometimes desperate challenge for many. michael buchanan, bbc news, south london. a report from the french government has blamed a chain of "failures" for last month's chaotic scenes at the champions league final in paris. it said the events at the stade de france, which included police firing tear gas at some liverpool fans, had damaged the country's image and raised questions about its ability to host major sporting events. our paris correspondent lucy williamson has more details. ten days on from the chaos at the champions league final, the first assessment of the french government on events at the stade de france. it says police asked that signs directing people to an alternative

entrance to the stadium be taken down days before the match, and that it would have been desirable to reinstall the signs once a train strike was announced. it also says an unprecedented influx of people without valid tickets rapidly overwhelmed security controls and that this was the key problem on the night. the report makes five recommendations, including a requirement that fans use electronic tickets in future to reduce the risk of fraud. the report broadly sticks to the government's line that the problems here began with large numbers of fake tickets among liverpool fans. what it doesn't address are claims that some valid electronic tickets also didn't work because of problems with internet access around the stadium. the paris police chief is facing questions from several different inquiries. in the french parliament yesterday, he defended police

actions on the night. translation: the use of tear gas worked. - i'm well aware that by doing this, people of good faith were gassed. there were people who were caught up in this crowd, and sometimes even families. on behalf of the police headquarters, i'm very sorry about that. but i'll say it again, unfortunately, there was no other way. i've never seen anything like it. it was so bizarre. tonight, liverpool fans reacted to the french explanations. normally, what happens is, naturally, you're going to get some people with fake tickets. that's normal, but it's not an excuse to then delay the whole thing and then tear gas everyone. and i'lljust say, it wasn'tjust small amounts of tear gas, it was relentless. like, you would be running, then you would run into more tear gas. and this went on. by the time people got into the stadium, everyone had sore throats. the chaos outside the stade de

france was filmed by fans on mobile phones, but footage from surveillance cameras inside the stadium was found to have been automatically deleted a week after the final in the absence of any order to preserve it. the search for a clear picture of events is only leading to more questions. lucy williamson, bbc news, paris. devon and cornwall police have released new information about the two disabled people who died after their motorboat capsized in devon on wednesday. a third person is seriously ill in hospital. a joint investigation with the marine accident investigation branch continues. our correspondentjenny kumah has been giving us the latest from roadford lake near okehampton where the accident happened. the full details have yet to be established of what happened, and the full facts have yet to be laid out. that investigation is under way, but what we do know is that on wednesday at around 1:30pm, the boat capsized. there were around six people on it. four people were rescued from the water, a further two were unaccounted for,

and there was a huge search of this lake that was launched. it went on for over 2a hours. it involved specialist equipment, divers, drones, helicopters, and it was last night that the news came that the search had ended. two bodies of disabled people were recovered. now, this afternoon, we had a bit more detail about the two people. we've learnt that they are a man in his a0s and a woman in her 60s, but we understand the police have said that formal investigation has yet to be completed. now, the police have confirmed that no other boat was involved, but they have declined to comment on reports that the people who died were strapped into their wheelchairs. now, of those four people that were rescued, one is in hospital. we understand she is a woman in her 50s and she is in a critical condition. now, this is an incident that has shocked people living locally, and today, a number of people have

been paying tribute. the local mayor, the local sailing club, emergency services have issued statements saying how the incident has saddened them and also offering their condolences to everyone that's been affected. police in brazil say they've found traces of blood in a boat used by a suspect who was arrested shortly after the disappearance of a britishjournalist and an indigenous expert in the far western part of the amazon rainforest. dom phillips and bruno pereira went missing on sunday in the remote javari valley, one of the largest indigenous territories in brazil. our south america correspondent katy watson sent this update from manaus. manaus is the capital of amazonas state. it's the largest city here in the amazon, but we're still more than 1000 km away from the javari valley

where the two men disappeared. but it's here in manaus where the federal police have to do the analysis on the investigation. so, for example, the boat that was found from one of the suspects with traces of blood in it, it's been flown here to manaus and it's being analysed to find out whether the blood is from humans or from animals. and every day here, there's a press conference at the federal police halls to give out more information. but at the moment, it's, what, five days on from their disappearance and there's still very little information out there. jair bolsonaro, the president, has been hardly very supportive in the effort to try and find the two men. he has twice said that they were on an ill—advised adventure, which speaks volumes, really, about what he thinks about the press, especially in this region, a region where there's been a growth in deforestation in the last few years, there are more and more illegal miners and poachers and fishermen. so, there's a real conflict,

and there's increasing violence violence in the amazon. it's why there has been a real pushes from both families of bruno pereira and dom phillips for the authorities to do more. and it's garnered worldwide attention. we've seen celebrities such as the actor mark ruffalo, the footballer pele as well as politicians really asking authorities to do more. but you've got to remember this is also a very difficult area. the javari valley is on the border with peru. it's an area the size of austria, and it's very remote, full of rivers, rainforests and it will be a very difficult situation on the ground for search and rescue efforts. certainly there's real concern now about finding the two men. british airways has welcomed the decision announced earlier by the us to lift the requirement to have a coronavirus test before entering the country. the restriction could be

reinstated if i newberry emerges. the move and one of the last restrictions due to the pandemic. michelle tells us more. the timing of this cannot be better for americans getting ready for their summer holidays visit means if they want to leave the country in travel to europe, they don't have to worry about getting stranded abroad. that was certainly something that the airline industry had been lobbying the administration about, saying it was creating hesitancy amongst americans who were nervous that they would then be out of pocket if they got stuck overseas with a positive test in the flip side of that is there was another report showing that passengers, travellers from countries like the uk, germany, india were also hesitant about booking travel to the united states because of these kind of restrictions. so the hope is at least for the airline industry that this it will kind of that and help them move forward in their recovery from the pandemic.

coronavirus cases have risen slightly in the uk for the first time in two months, according to estimates from the office for national statistics. roughly one in 65 people were estimated to have had the virus last week, up from around one in 70 the week before. the small rise is likely down to the two newer variants of omicron. railway workers across the midlands are to be balloted for strike action in a dispute over pay and jobs. the transport salaried staffs association said if its members on crosscountry, east midlands trains and west midland trains vote in favour of industrial action, it could take place ahead of the commonwealth games in birmingham injuly. travellers on the railways and london underground are facing disruption later this month because of strikes by the rmt, aslef and unite. now it's time for a look at the weather with tomasz. hello. the weather this weekend overall isn't going to be bad at all. in fact, plenty of sunny spells on the way, but it will be quite windy at times and a few showers in the forecast, too, particularly across north—western areas.

and that's what's happening through the course of tonight. northern ireland and scotland get plenty of showers, especially in the western isles here, windy around coasts. the further south and east you are, the clearer the weather will be. and the temperatures, whether you are north or south, first thing on saturday will be more or less the same, 12 celsius. so, the forecast for saturday, lots of sunshine from the word go across england and wales. the possibility of one or two showers, particularly in northern england, but most of them will be in northern ireland and scotland. much fresher here, as well, around the mid—teens. the warmer weather will be the further east and south you are, the low 20s. that was saturday, this is sunday. and i think the winds will be lighter on sunday, and it will feel, as a result, a little bit warmer. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines.

plans to send some asylum seekers from the uk to rwanda can go ahead, for now — after campaigners failed in their high court bid to stop the first deportation flight next week. the home secretary has welcomed the decision, but the case is expected to be heard again by the court of appeal on monday. ukraine's ambassador to the uk tells the bbc he expects a prisoner swap to free the two britons sentenced to death yesterday by a russian proxy court. new figures suggest more than half of uk households have cut their energy use because they're so worried about the rising cost of living. a french government report says a chain of failures by the authorities at the champions league final in paris severely damaged the country's image. a 15 year—old boy has died and his mother has been seriously injured after a stabbing in manchester. police were called to a house last night and said they were searching for a man who's believed to be known to both victims. our correspondent

danny savage reports. in a cul—de—sacjust outside manchester city centre, police investigators this afternoon meticulously examine the scene where a 1a—year—old boy was killed. he and his mother were stabbed in their home at about 9:30pm last night. the teenager died in hospital. she is still being treated for serious injuries but is aware that her son is dead. we looked outside and seen like bodies. shocked neighbours watched the victims being treated. this man knew the 15—year—old. i always seen the boy. he was little, then i seen him grow. now, to see that he's died, it's crazy. honestly. another neighbour grew up with him, too. we used to play football just here on this grass. he used to always ask for the pump for his tyres. so, you know, it was good. so, when i found out, it was crazy. i'm still trying to process it now. he was a friend? you knew him? he was a good kid. everyone around here, he always had his ball, just walking around in the street, dribbling and that.

" "mike pence," quote, "deserves it. " we heard from the attorney general at the time, william barr, once close to donald trump. i made it clear i did not agree with the idea of saying the election

was stolen and putting out the stuff which i told the president, was bleep. and, for the first time, we saw mr trump's daughter agree. i respect attorney general barr. so, i. ..accepted what he said, was saying. do you swear and affirm, under penalty of perjury. j then came the live testimony, first from a police officer injured that day by the pro—trump mob. chanting: u-s-a, u-s-a, u-s-a! i was called a traitor to my country, my oath and my constitution. in actuality, i was none of those things. i was an american, standing face—to—face with other americans, asking myself how, many times. ..many, many times, how we had gotten here. and then a british film—maker, nick quested, who filmed with the proud boys, a far—right militia group accused of sparking the riot.

i documented the crowd turn from protesters, to rioters, to insurrectionists. i was surprised at the size of the group, the anger and profanity. and for anyone who didn't understand how violent that event was, i saw it, i documented it and i experienced it. inside the hearing, those who lost loved ones wept. the word "illegal" was used many times in the hearing. the panel is ultimately trying to set out this case to prove that donald trump's attempt to overturn the election result led directly to the deadly riot. nomia iqbal, bbc news, washington. the cost awards are to end. but rice and the cost awards are to end. but price and it _ the cost awards are to end. but price and it was _ the cost awards are to end. emit price and it was established in 1971 as the awards, recent high—profile

that people will still see these awards continuing and writers in the future will still get them. are you worried in particular about poetry? i think it's remarkable, this prize, it was remarkable for bringing poetry into the main stage of literature. no other prizes doing that. there are prizes for poetry that. there are prizes for poetry that if you're outside of poetry you probably don't know about. there prizes for fiction and nonfiction but the there is no other prize that shines a spotlight on poetry. it's a real loss for the poetry community. it felt like when i1, it felt like a win for poetry. you have to remember, it's eight months long for mont chin, two rounds of competition that goes on over christmas. it really does put the books onto book shelves. poetry doesn't have the kind of audiences and readership that fiction does. the poetry community will file keenly, i think.
