this is bbc news, the headlines... the first flight due to take asylum seekers from britain to rwanda has been cancelled — for now. it follows last—minute legal challenges. the uk's home secretary says she's "disappointed", but won't be deterred from controlling its borders. fierce fighting is continuing in the east of ukraine, as russia pushes its advance into the country's industrial heartland. the russian army says it will establish a humanitarian corridor on wednesday to evacuate civilians who are trapped. president biden will tour the middle east injuly. he will meet saudi crown prince, mohammed bin salman. it comes after us intelligence concluded the prince played a key role in the murder ofjournalist, jamal khashoggi.

k-pop—superstars bts have announced they're taking a break from playing together to concentrate on solo projects. it marks the first pause the band members have taken those are the latest headlines. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are kate maltby, who's a columnist at the i newspaper, and the times radio presenter calum macdonald. good evening to you both, we will chat in just a second. let's run you through the front of those newspapers. one story dominates the papers — the government's attempt to send some asylum seekers to rwanda, and the court decisions which have grounded that first flight to kigali. the metro sums up the saga

as something of a farce. the daily mail illustrates the story with a dramatic photo of a dinghy dwarfed by an oil tanker in the channel. the times headline highlights the last—minute ruling from the european court of human rights. while the daily express leads on borisjohnson�*s anger at the court action and says he has threatened to "ditch" human rights laws over the issue. the mirror also describes today's events as farcical, condemning downing street's policy as "cruel". the daily telegraph says the action by europeanjudges could mean all deportation flights to rwanda are halted "for weeks" — while the guardian says the ruling has left the government's policy in disarray. so let us begin, good evening to you both. let's start with the daily mail, because it's interesting that

some of the papers had changed their headlines as that ruling becomes clear and it's evident that plane will not take off. "euro court grounds jet to rwanda." we should be clear on that distinction between eu courts and european courts, callum? yes, as well as the fact of the human rights, the uk has willingly come up to this point at least, signed up to that, the we are a part of that, that was a choice made by the government, the one that could be put into a new spotlight as a result of what's been happening this evening, and certainly something borisjohnson opened the door to earlier on today. and i think that's where the conversation will now shift. you are right to highlight the picture on the front of the daily mail because there's two things to pick out of there, both the picture itself which is stark and worrying, but also the timeline they present — 10:05pm the uk's

trade is scuppered by meddling judges. that is how this has been framed by the government, the whole idea of deporting migrant asylum—seekers, people to rwanda is to deter people traffickers. the fact of the matter is more people have crossed the channel this year than last year, 10,500 so far. the messages and getting through to those who are still wanting to make the journey, those who are still wanting to make thejourney, which is in many ways unsurprising because if you are fleeing places like afghanistan, iran or whatever, i don't imagine the first thing on your mind is to check the website for the latest asylum policy. that's one part of it, the other part is the meddling judges in strasburg — this isjust symptomatic of where the conversation will go. it's about whether these european judges should have a say over something that has been highlighted in many of the

front pages today, which has been given the nod by the supreme court in the uk, then at this point europeanjudges intervened. it's european judges intervened. it's worth europeanjudges intervened. it's worth saying a judicial review is on the way over the policy itself which is due injuly. at this point is not a ruling over whether the policy of deporting people to rwanda is legal or illegal, it's simply that european courts have said we need to wait for thatjudicial review, and wait for that judicial review, and in wait for thatjudicial review, and in the interim nobody should be sent to rwanda at this point. find in the interim nobody should be sent to rwanda at this point.— to rwanda at this point. and we've heard from — to rwanda at this point. and we've heard from the _ to rwanda at this point. and we've heard from the home _ to rwanda at this point. and we've heard from the home secretary . heard from the home secretary tonight saying if they are not on this plane, they'll be on the next one — but that may be a little more difficult than she would have us believe right now. sticking with the daily mail, it's clear that it's embarrassing for the government, but they talk about the european court that's intervened to block the removal of these migrants even though domestic courts have repeatedly ruled in the government's favour. and we heard from the prime

minister today saying actually, a change in the law might now be forthcoming to ensure this can't happen again. it forthcoming to ensure this can't happen again-— forthcoming to ensure this can't happen again. forthcoming to ensure this can't hauenauain. , ., happen again. it is embarrassing for the government, _ happen again. it is embarrassing for the government, yes. _ happen again. it is embarrassing for the government, yes. there - happen again. it is embarrassing for the government, yes. there is - happen again. it is embarrassing for the government, yes. there is a - the government, yes. there is a theory— the government, yes. there is a theory doing the rounds that actually, _ theory doing the rounds that actually, the tory government will be delighted that meddling judges, as they— be delighted that meddling judges, as they choose to frame it, or their allies_ as they choose to frame it, or their allies frame — as they choose to frame it, or their allies frame it have prevented this flight _ allies frame it have prevented this flight from taking off because it allows — flight from taking off because it allows this conservative government to allows this conservative government lo really— allows this conservative government to really amplify that wedge issue, present— to really amplify that wedge issue, present themselves as the champions of tough _ present themselves as the champions of tough immigration controls, and meddling _ of tough immigration controls, and meddling liberaljudges in europe as the enemy. though i would say i think there — the enemy. though i would say i think there is some —— there will be some _ think there is some —— there will be some in— think there is some —— there will be some in government who are certain that framing helps them, but tory governments like —— voters like their— governments like —— voters like their governments to be efficient in

humanitarian success that this situation has created. but one of the things— situation has created. but one of the things that seems disingenuous to me _ the things that seems disingenuous to me is _ the things that seems disingenuous to me is actually, when you read this rwanda policy, it doesn't only apply— this rwanda policy, it doesn't only apply to _ this rwanda policy, it doesn't only apply to people who come into this country— apply to people who come into this country by— apply to people who come into this country by the channel. if you look at it, _ country by the channel. if you look at it. you — country by the channel. if you look at it. you are — country by the channel. if you look at it, you are subject to being deported _ at it, you are subject to being deported to rwanda if you claim asylum — deported to rwanda if you claim asylum at — deported to rwanda if you claim asylum at heathrow, if you come in try asylum at heathrow, if you come in by train _ asylum at heathrow, if you come in by train the — asylum at heathrow, if you come in by train. the government is lavishly trying to— by train. the government is lavishly trying to keep the process opaque partly— trying to keep the process opaque partly to— trying to keep the process opaque partly to protect itself from challenges. but we will keep seeing the daily— challenges. but we will keep seeing the daily mail and other outlets sympathetic to this government showing — sympathetic to this government showing us pictures of people arriving — showing us pictures of people arriving by boat and telling us that the rwanda policy is there to stop that happening. now maybe it is a deterrent— that happening. now maybe it is a deterrent to some of those people, but they— deterrent to some of those people, but they are not the only people affected — but they are not the only people affected by this policy and it is, as i affected by this policy and it is, as i say, — affected by this policy and it is, as i say, disingenuous to suggest that the _ as i say, disingenuous to suggest that the only people who will be put on those _ that the only people who will be put on those flights are people who should've known better because they came by— should've known better because they

saying that the rwandan opposition were amongst those pointing out that with the policy as is, indeed this has been pointed out by commentators here as well, in terms of deterring, the policy is aimed at men deporting men — and the idea is that it is to deter people traffickers and smugglers, to put them out of business. that's the idea, but the people smugglers out of business, make asylum claims more legal and straightforward, that sort of thing. but it is pointed out that a wide range of people — if the policy targets men, it leaves people smugglers to target women and children, the more vulnerable. and actually, there could be a moving of the people smuggling operation to rwanda to try and smuggle people out of rwanda who don't want to be there, who have been sent there from there, who have been sent there from the uk. so looking at it as it stands tonight, this policy is being

described by some as in tatters — it's difficult to disagree with that at this point, but what we need to remember is that medium—term view going forward from here, the policy could actually be upheld and be ruled to be the way to go. this intervention tonight could be temporary and wejust intervention tonight could be temporary and we just don't know what the final outcome of this actually is. what the final outcome of this actually is— what the final outcome of this actuall is. ., �*, ., ,, ., actually is. now let's talk about that vulnerability, _ actually is. now let's talk about that vulnerability, because - actually is. now let's talk about | that vulnerability, because when actually is. now let's talk about - that vulnerability, because when we look at numbers and statistics, and the intention to stop people smuggling, there's a real dan braid —— a real danger that these people might be trying to make this perilous journey to escape something pretty horrendous back home or where they've come from. is it a danger that we forget about the humanitarian element of all this when we purely focus on the numbers, 10,500 who have made thejourney when we purely focus on the numbers, 10,500 who have made the journey so far this year? 10,500 who have made the “ourney so far this year?— 10,500 who have made the “ourney so far this years— far this year? yes, though i think as we see — far this year? yes, though i think as we see from _ far this year? yes, though i think as we see from this _ far this year? yes, though i think as we see from this daily - far this year? yes, though i think as we see from this daily mail. as we see from this daily mail headline, _ as we see from this daily mail headline, there will now be a fight over who — headline, there will now be a fight over who gets to present themselves as the _ over who gets to present themselves

instability of the british conservative government, i'm not sure how _ conservative government, i'm not sure how relevant the current grandstanding by borisjohnson sure how relevant the current grandstanding by boris johnson and his team _ grandstanding by boris johnson and his team will be for much longer. you have — his team will be for much longer. you have to — his team will be for much longer. you have to wonder because the commons leader, mark spencer, says there should be a 25 year gap from that 2014 vote. will anyone wait that 2014 vote. will anyone wait that long? as kate says, the instability in government suggests they may not have to wait that long. two really interesting thoughts — first of all, on the 25 year thing, i wonder if there needs to be more discussion about how referendums work. we've seen two very divisive referendums in this country in the last few years, and neither of them had any sort of definitive end point, is at the right way to put it? in that we will do this now and not do it again for x amount of time and set that time in stone. it's interesting because that's been such a point of contention in the subject of scottish independence, and i

hesitate to do this but what happens if there is, for example, a vote for independence, then in a few years time, a unionist government is elected to scottish parliament and they want to rejoin the uk? that's hypothetical but ijust wonder if these referendums need to be more careful about how and when they can happen, basically so they don't have to have history repeating itself all the time. i also think on a political point, when it comes to the smp and nicola sturgeon versus the smp and nicola sturgeon versus the conservatives and borisjohnson, there's an argument that it is in theirfavour there's an argument that it is in their favour to have each of them and their relative positions —— in their positions because it creates a difference. nicola sturgeon can point to borisjohnson and say they are not giving us a referendum, borisjohnson can say we are a party of a union and this is not in the economic interest of scotland in the uk, etc. so it creates two very

clear and entrenched positions. some would argue that's beneficial. sturgeon's language is interesting on this, she said she would forge a way forward on whether a referendum was deemed lawful or not. what she published today was the first of a series of documents outlining scotland's case for independence. i very much feel an engine is revving at this point. very much feel an engine is rewing at this point-— at this point. lets wait to see if we tet at this point. lets wait to see if we get any _ at this point. lets wait to see if we get any detail— at this point. lets wait to see if we get any detail on that. - at this point. lets wait to see if - we get any detail on that. speaking of the future, on the front of the guardian, a rather sobering warning, "sea level rise will force the abandonment of 200,000 coastal properties," it says. homes that cannot be saved or ones that will be too expensive to try to save by sea walls or other defences. that's a rather worrying forecast to say the least, one that will have many people concerned quite clearly if you're in any of those 200,000 coastal homes. i

but for now, goodnight. good evening, i'm tulsen tollett with your sports news. scotland and wales have both been in action in the nations league — while it's been a night to forget for england's footballers, who've been thumped 4—0 by hungary for their biggest margin of defeat at home in 94 years. austin halewood has more. 12 months ago, england's memorable journey to the final of the euros was under way. fast forward to now, and the fans are still behind them, but questions are starting to be asked. after three matches without a win, they needed a fast start against hungary —

and they didn't get it. the visitors ahead with their first attack. more questions for him to ponder. but his team barely answered any of them. they struggled to create any clear—cut chances of their own, and eventually hungary made them pay. now, this was as close as england got to their first goal from open play in four matches. harry kane, so often the saviour — not this time. but still, it would get worse. firstly with this rocket of a finish, and then finally a fourth for hungary. southgate's england embarrassed at home, and with just two more matches before the world cup, he knows things will need to change quickly. austin halewood, bbc news. a gareth bale penalty in injury time looked to have earned wales a 2—2 draw away to netherlands. they had been 2—0 down, but it wasn't to be — memphis depay promptly scored to give the dutch a 3—2 win. wales have failed to beat them in ten meetings.

scotland came from a goal down to beat armenia 4—1 in yeravan. che adams scored number four. it's a much—needed win for the scots following their 3—0 defeat in ireland on saturday. and costa rica became the last team to qualify for this year's world cup. former arsenal forward joel campbell with the only goal in their play—off against new zealand. they go into group e with germany, spain, and japan. burnley have hired former manchester city captain vincent kompany as their new manager. kompany has been in charge at belgian side anderlecht for two years before leaving by mutual consent in may, having led them to a third—place finish. he joins burnley as they look to bounce back after relegation from the premier league with instant promotion from the championship. while liverpool have signed benfica's darwin nunez for a fee that could rise to £85 million. the 22—year—old uruguayan has signed a six—year deal at anfield. now to cricket, where england have

wrapped up their three test series against new zealand with a game to spare after a five wicket win at trent bridge. jonny bairstow was the hero on the final day with a dashing century — as andy swiss reports. it was as breathtaking as it was brilliant. england's new captain, ben stokes, sealing a victory which almost beggared belief. earlier, the fans had flocked to trent bridge. every age, every hairstyle hoping for some heroics. but chasing 299 to win, those hopes seem to be fading as new zealand took four early wickets. 0h, gone! he's chipped it straight back to trent boult. butjust when england needed something special, enterjonny bairstow with one of the most blistering displays you'll ever see. he clobbered new zealand to all corners of nottingham, reaching his century in just 77 balls, the second fastest test hundred ever by an englishman. and at the other end, stokes was doing what stokes does. 0ne gravity—defying six

as he thrashed a half century. it was mayhem. that is an enormous six. by the time bairstow fell for a staggering 136, trent bridge rose as one and england were on the brink. and moments later, stokes blazed his team to glory. victory, and with it, the series. england's new era is off to some start. well, for the lucky fans that were here, it's been a day of quite exhilarating entertainment. rarely has english cricket seen a more remarkable victory. andy swiss, bbc news, trent bridge. let's hearfrom england's batting hero, who says it was a memorable day. you guys will, yeah, have probably watched it, i was just trying my best to be out there in the moment and enjoying every minute of it. there in the moment and enjoying days like these are really special, to be out there and win a test match for your country are things that

you dream of as a little kid. and we're fortunate to be living that dream. serena williams will make her return to competitive action after being given a wild card into the singles draw for wimbledon. the former world number one will be looking to add to her seven titles at the all england club, but hasn't played since injuring her leg in the first round of last year's tournament. she'll make her return to tennis playing doubles at eastbourne, alongside tunisia's 0ns jabeur, in the week before wimbledon. the bbc�*s tennis commentator andrew castle says it's huge news for the tournament. it's fantastic for wimbledon. i mean, i have to say, because she's played so little and we've seen so little tennis output from her, i have no idea what condition she's in. look, she's motivated and we're just delighted to work with her once again — but is this goodbye, the farewell? itjust feels a little bit like... at 40 years of age. you know, who knows what more

is to come in her life? but it's great to see her. british wild card ryan peniston marked his atp tour main draw debut with a stunning win over french open finalist casper ruud at queen's. peniston is ranked 175 places below the world number five, but he got the better of two tie—breaks to land the biggest victory of his career. and to finish off a great day for peniston, he's also been given a wild card entry to wimbledon. in the birmingham 0pen classic, britain's katie boulter upset the seventh seed alison riske to reach the second round. boulter won comfortably in straight sets — she's never made it beyond the first round before in birmingham. she'll play caroline garcia next. the world's top—rated horse, baaeed, was one of the winners on the opening day of a huge event in the horse racing calendar, royal ascot. the four—year—old, withjim crowley riding for trainer william haggas, beat real world by almost two lengths in the queen anne stakes.
