at six... the first flight taking asylum seekers to rwanda is due to leave the uk in the next few hours. this is the plane expected to fly them out of a military base in wiltshire, but only handful may be on board. we think it is a sensible partnership we have set with rwanda. yes, it may take a while to get working properly but it doesn't mean we are not going to keep going. today, more than 300 people arrived in dover after they managed to cross the channel illegally in small boats. will the flights to rwanda deter people from attempting the dangerous crossing? also on the programme... scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, kicks off a new campaign for another vote on scottish independence.

6:02 pm
after campaigners and charities failed in their bid to block it. it was meant to be taking more than 100 people but legal challenges mean there will be no more than seven on board — among them, iraqi kurds and iranians. the government insists the flights are necessary to deter people—trafficking gangs helping thousands cross the channel. but church of england leaders have called it "immoral". here's our home editor, mark easton. applied to an uncertain future is ready for take—off. just a handful of asylum seekers will be forced to board this evening, seven at most, each with a one—way ticket to rwanda, a country they have never been to and don't wish to go to —— the flight with an uncertain future point of this is why, this morning more than 300 people arrived in dover having attempted to cross the channel in small boats. the government funded them illegal migrants, deems them in a missable for century in grape and in a bid deter them, threatened them with forcible relocation to east africa.

6:06 pm
the flights to rwanda are meant to act as a deterrent to those trying to cross the channel in boats. today at least 300 people made the journey. that are just that arejust some that are just some of them. simonjones reports from dover. calm seas mean busy times for the border force, bringing people to dover after picking them up in the channel. women and children among today's arrivals, though the vast majority are young men. hundreds of people achieving their goal today of setting foot on british soil. well, these are some of the boats that have been used today and in recent days to make the channel crossing. it is clear that the boats have been getting bigger, often packed with up to a0 or 50 people, increasing the risks in the world's busiest shipping lane. i spoke to fisherman matt coaker who has been out at sea all day and witnessed a near miss involving a dinghy. we actually watched them go in front of a ship and it was quite... it was quite frightening, really, how close they got to this ship which was trying its hardest to avoid them but obviously
6:07 pm
the migrant dinghy is going in all different directions. to try to stop loss of life at sea, the military has now taken operational command in the channel, increasing surveillance — wary, though, of being accused of becoming a taxi service for migrants. but there appears to be little evidence yet of the so—called rwanda deterrent, according to groups who support asylum seekers in kent. from talking to people who have made thisjourney, they say it wouldn't have acted as a deterrent to them so i think this is more about, about looking tough, about looking like you are being really tough. ministers insist it is only once people start arriving in rwanda that the real deterrent effect will be seen but for now, the numbers arriving in dover look set to dwarf the numbers sent to east africa. simonjones, bbc news, dover. the numbers crossing the channel have more than trebled in the past two years. close to 29,000 asylum seekers reached these shores by boat last year alone.
6:08 pm
just over 15,000 people were offered asylum here last year — almost four times that number applied. in a moment, we'll talk to our political editor, chris mason, at westminster, but first our senior africa correspondent, anne soy, is in the rwandan capital, kigali. the authorities have been talking about all this but what have they been saying?— been saying? they have been responding — been saying? they have been responding to _ been saying? they have been responding to some - been saying? they have been responding to some of- been saying? they have been responding to some of the i been saying? they have been - responding to some of the criticisms against this deal saying this programme is not immoral and neither it is it a punishment to send people to live in rwanda. we listened to the government spokeswoman and there was a sense of pride as she spoke about this programme. she seemed to suggest it was about changing perceptions of africa. she said that" they will —— we hope they will choose to stay with us and africa is not just a choose to stay with us and africa is notjust a place problems but a place of solutions." the government
6:09 pm
says they are ready to the asylum seekers they will be taken to a hostel that until recently has been the accommodation for some of the survivors of the 1994 rwandan genocide. they will be given the first option, to live here, and she had said they will be welcome to take upjobs, even within government. but if they choose to go back to their home countries, the government will facilitate them to do so. the third option is to go to third countries, neither rwanda nor their home countries, but the government will not initiate that process. it will leave it to the asylum seekers to look for countries that can accept them and once they are accepted, the government can facilitate that point to their claims of asylum will be processed here under rwandan law and international law. 0ut here under rwandan law and international law. out in the streets, some people do not even know about this deal. some of them
6:10 pm
who know say that the asylum seekers are welcome here. this is a country that had so many people living outside the country because of the genocide in 1994 and therefore they see the asylum seekers as welcome, but the opposition has said the government should concentrate on the problems rwandans rather than problems rwandans rather than problems from far away. to westminster and chris mason, just a few hours before the flight is supposed to take off, robust language from the prime minister? absolutely, borisjohnson said it would _ absolutely, borisjohnson said it would be — absolutely, borisjohnson said it would be willing to consider changing the law to ensure this policy— changing the law to ensure this policy can— changing the law to ensure this policy can work properly given the legal— policy can work properly given the legal challenges it has encountered and you _ legal challenges it has encountered and you speak to people in government and they say that anyone who has— government and they say that anyone who has worked on the policy surrounding the small boat crossing in the _ surrounding the small boat crossing in the last _ surrounding the small boat crossing in the last couple of years has come to the _ in the last couple of years has come to the conclusion they are simply unsustainable. there has been an exponential rise in the last couple

6:12 pm
downing street says now is not the time for another poll and people across scotland want to see both governments working together. 0ur scotland editor, james cook, reports. many seasons have rolled by since scotland rejected independence, and the landscape has changed. we have had a pandemic, a cost of living crisis, and brexit, which was rejected by a majority of voters in scotland. it has affected us in so many different ways. sally williams says dragging the nation out of the eu against its wishes has been a disaster. it really boils down to governance and my belief that the scottish parliament is the best place to govern scotland. the damage that has been done by covid, by brexit, by everything else, in a funny way, it's probably the perfect time for us to then get on and build ourselves back out of it, again using our own levers, our own tools. nicola sturgeon agrees, of course.
6:13 pm
her new paper argues that the uk is failing scotland because comparable countries are richer, happier, and more equal. the great question before us is this — if all of these countries can and do use the powers of independence to create wealthier and fairer societies, why not scotland? but how? the only undisputed route to a referendum is for the prime minister to transfer the power to hold one to holyrood, using what is called a section 30 order. i don't know if he will be watching or not but if he is, i make it clearagain, prime minister, i stand ready to negotiate a section 30 order if you decide that you now are a democrat. there is no sign of the prime minister agreeing to that request. he says the union sees scotland through tough times. that, by the way, is the firepower of the uk exchequer, _ that is the firepower of our single uk treasury, and i think-
6:14 pm
it is a great thing, _ we should keep going with it. it being the 315—year—old union of the nations on either side of this river, a union rooted in commerce. brexit may have strengthened the political case for independence, the democratic case, but critics say it has weakened the economic argument. they are worried about what would happen to trade across this border if scotland voted to leave the uk. that is why this gin maker has switched sides. ross jamieson voted for independence eight years ago. do you want to smell it? but now he says he has started a business and sobered up. what does that experience of brexit tell you about independence for scotland ? i'm a proud scotsman, i think the idea of independence, you know, if you stand there, again, you are top of the hill with your kilt, having a wee dram, it's brilliant. but the reality of it, especially now through the experience of brexit, i honestly believe it would be
6:15 pm
a disaster for the country. but that is far from a settled view in this divided nation. james cook, bbc news, on the river tweed. two things are happening here, a debate about process and how and when a referendum may or may not be held, and a debate about the substance of the issue, whether or not scotland would be better off as an independent country. to be honest, we have not made much progress on the former today but there has been some significant progress on the latter. because if you consider the issues i mentioned, brexit, the pandemic, the cost of living crisis, the war in ukraine, what is striking is how much has changed since 2014 and what that means is that politicians on both sides of this debate are scrambling around to find new answers. james, thank you. the time is 6:15pm. our top story this evening. the first flight taking asylum seekers to rwanda is due to leave the uk in the next few hours.
6:16 pm
as much of europe walters, weather warnings for england and wales with temperatures set to soar this week. serena williams will make a singles return at this years championships. this is the yorkshire seaside town of whitby — with its beautiful coastline and beaches, it's a really popular place for holidays. so popular, in fac, that about one in five properties here are now second homes and holiday lets. local residents have had enough. they've voted to stop new homes being snapped up for holidaymakers. the vote's not legally binding but residents hope it will make a difference, as danny savage has been finding out. whitby, an ancient town
6:17 pm
on the coast of north yorkshire. hugely popular with tourists but under these red roofs, it is all getting a bit controversial. it is typically one where people buy to invest. properties that come on the market here are often being snapped up by people buying a second home. you'll find there's the potential they go to best and final offers and traditionally, you will find that home owners will sort of opt to go towards those cash offers. rather than go for a young person with a mortgage. not many locals left in the town any more, it is basically all holiday— makers and people buying second homes. 19—year—old katie voted in yesterday's referendum, calling for a future new—build houses to be for local residents only. it'sjust so difficult at the moment with people from away coming and buying houses and property. what happens, when something comes on? it just goes straightaway and obviously viewings, you ring up and they have had
6:18 pm
like 20 viewings before they have even come out. the density of holiday homes is not just confined to the centre of whitby. this housing area on the outskirts of town also has numerous holiday lets and second homes. we are losing children from our. schools so we are starting to lose funding from the schools. we are losing services on public transport, . some of the trains - have been taken away. and also we are losing people from supplyingj the local economy, so _ if we don't have people - filling theirjobs, we will not have any tourism eventually. the authorities say they are listening. there is now a proposal for new build homes to be for local residents only. i think the future is brighter because we are now talking about it. whereas we weren't talking about it, people were just putting their head in the sand. sold to locals may soon become more common here. danny savage, bbc news, whitby. there are 1.3 millionjob vacancies in the uk now —
6:19 pm
a new record high. the rise is mainly down to older workers who've chosen to retire early during the pandemic. the chancellor said the uk's jobs market remains robust but labour has accused the government of �*utter complacency�* about the high number of people choosing not to work. today's new figures also show how pay rises are falling behind soaring infation. 0ur economics editor faisal islam is here. talk us through these new figures? thanks, sophie. well, it's a bit of a mixed picture. the good news is that unemployment is close to historic lows reflecting the success of pandemic support measures. 3.8%, one of the lowest levels in half a century, but there are smaller signs it will take a back up again in the latest data. take a look at this. vacancies in the economy hit another record this time above 1.3 million more than the population of birmingham with hundreds of thousands of missing workers, reflecting those retiring during the pandemic,
6:20 pm
long term ill, and fewer european workers post brexit under new immigration rules. tough this is the consequence of a rebound in the economy the impact of all that is becoming material contributing to visible problems at our airports, in nhs hospital waiting rooms and in our cleaning companies too. there are around 200,000 unfilled cleaning vacancies and now more workers from abroad are required, says this cleaning company boss. we believe we are around 15% down. i would describe it as a crisis because the simple fact is it is getting worse. there simply isn't enough staff to go round so in that regard, we really need to sit with government and look at all opportunities to bring people into the country. if we don't, then you are running the risk that standards reduce and reduce. while some of these pressures have helped push up cash wages, for those injobs, a very sharp squeeze is on. on average, wage rises seem quite strong — up 6.8% on the year. strip out bonuses — mainly though not exclusively
6:21 pm
in the banking sector — and we are down to just over 4%. but then apply inflation to get the real—terms increase and it is almost wiped out, close to zero growth in total pay, and without bonuses, it is down 2.2% in real terms — the lowest figure for a decade and significantly less than that for public sector workers. so the jobs figures showing workers in high demand, but high inflation watering down the value of wage rises. faisal islam, bbc news. the airline industry and the government must �*shoulder the responsibility�* for the recent chaos seen at airports — mps have been told today. the head of the consumer group which? told a commons committee that staff shortages had been underestimated leading to thousands of flight cancellations and long queues at airports. 0ur transport correspondent katy austin can explain more most people have got away without major problems,
6:22 pm
but you�*ll probably have seen pictures of long queues at some airports since before easter, and heard about flight cancellations. so far injune, more than 900 flights leaving the uk have been cancelled, most in advance. easyjet has had the highest number. there have been various reasons for disruption, and problems are happening elsewhere in europe too, nut aviation staff shortages are a big underlying factor. the industry shed manyjobs during the pandemic, including 30,000 at airlines. some have now struggled to hire enough new recruits in time for rising demand. it�*s not all about cabin crew, ground workers like baggage handlers are in short supply. that was given as a reason for the tour operator tui cancelling dozens of flights from manchester this month. here�*s what they said today: we needed to be confident we could operate and that the baggage system in particular at manchester was one of the primary causes for the delay because the bags couldn't be loaded before the crew went out _ of hours because there was such
6:23 pm
a delay in loading the bags. we learned our lesson, we are building more resilience in terms of things that we can influence. experts say hiring challenges are down to people having left the sector for the otherjobs, fewer european workers around post brexit, and it�*s an extremely competitive labour market. once you�*ve signed someone up, you have to get them security clea ra nce. a representative of british airways — which has cut 10% from its schedule until october — said today 3,000 new hires were still in the referencing process, and it was taking up to 140 days to get people through. swissport, which does baggage handling for tui, said it was not far off its recruitment target, but it was taking 60—90 days to get people an airside pass. the airports trade body said some people quit while waiting to start thejob. the system is speeding up a little bit. but there certainly were delays and it took much longer when we, you know, recruitment
6:24 pm
really kicked in so we do, as airports, you know, there are still, i would say, several hundreds of people who are still awaiting that final clearance. however, today mps asked aviation firms if issues would be fixed and everything would run to plan this summer — none of them could give a guarantee. but the aviation regulator and department for transportjointly wrote to airlines today asking them to check their summer schedules were deliverable, and ensure consumers are dealt with properly when disruption does happen. a service has been held at westminister abbey to remember the 72 men, women and children who died in the grenfell tower fire five years ago today. church leaders described the loss and anguish suffered as "still vivid and sharp". other events to mark the anniversary have included a 72—second silence and a multi—faith service at the foot of grenfell tower itself. our home affairs correspondent tom symonds reports.
6:25 pm
today, a scattered community returned to the foot of their tower. along with the duke and duchess of cambridge, in several events, they remembered the loss of 72 lives. even five years on, survivors ask, how can this have happened? whole families lost. abdul aziz was on the phone to his sister who escaped until the last minute. he phone to his sister who escaped until the last minute. untilthe last minute. he wanted me to reassure — untilthe last minute. he wanted me to reassure his _ untilthe last minute. he wanted me to reassure his son _ untilthe last minute. he wanted me to reassure his son that _ untilthe last minute. he wanted me to reassure his son that there - untilthe last minute. he wanted me to reassure his son that there would j to reassure his son that there would be a case, and he said yes, it�*s going to be ok. and that is something i have to live with, because i told him it was going to because i told him it was going to be ok and it wasn�*t. this because i told him it was going to be ok and it wasn't.— because i told him it was going to be ok and it wasn't. this man also esca ed be ok and it wasn't. this man also escaped with _ be ok and it wasn't. this man also escaped with his _ be ok and it wasn't. this man also escaped with his life. _ be ok and it wasn't. this man also escaped with his life. his - be ok and it wasn't. this man also escaped with his life. his group . escaped with his life. his group has said that _ escaped with his life. his group has said that change needs to follow the loss of— said that change needs to follow the loss of so _ said that change needs to follow the loss of so many lives. i�*ve said that change needs to follow the loss of so many lives.— loss of so many lives. i've always said that grenfell _ loss of so many lives. i've always said that grenfell was _ loss of so many lives. i've always said that grenfell was a - loss of so many lives. i've always said that grenfell was a tragedy l loss of so many lives. i've always| said that grenfell was a tragedy in three _ said that grenfell was a tragedy in three acts, — said that grenfell was a tragedy in three acts, the _ said that grenfell was a tragedy in three acts, the way _ said that grenfell was a tragedy in three acts, the way we _
