2019-2021, who immigration minister, 2019—2021, who claims that it is being exploited by human rights lawyers to prevent deportation. he says that the law at present allows what he calls absurdly low levels of proof for you to be able to logically and that you are a victim of modern slavery, and therefore should not be subject to deportation, and he also says people would say one minute they were not victims of slavery, then speak to a lawyer and say that they were. and he accuses some layers of of cementing copy and paste claims of different clients —— some lawyers of of submitting. it is making a mockery of our goodwill. just to put some context, rachel, on the remarks. some context, rachel, on the remark-— some context, rachel, on the remarks. . ., , , , remarks. yeah, absolutely. if this is the one — remarks. yeah, absolutely. if this is the one way _ remarks. yeah, absolutely. if this is the one way in _ remarks. yeah, absolutely. if this is the one way in which _ remarks. yeah, absolutely. if this is the one way in which there - remarks. yeah, absolutely. if this is the one way in which there is i remarks. yeah, absolutely. if this is the one way in which there is a | is the one way in which there is a legal route for people fleeing persecution, then i say hello and

welcome. it is absolutely absurd to go for the only actual legal route that the government has deigned to open for people who are fleeing some appalling conditions. and to say that immigration lawyers are using this or that people cannot remember, i mean, these are very common things that happen when people have been victims of this, they don't always get the story straight first time, there are often discrepancies in the stories. that doesn't mean they are lying, it might be symptoms of trauma. ., , . lying, it might be symptoms of trauma. ., ' . ., lying, it might be symptoms of trauma. ., , . ., , trauma. the home office a the number of otential trauma. the home office a the number of potential victims, _ trauma. the home office a the number of potential victims, who _ trauma. the home office a the number of potential victims, who referred - of potential victims, who referred their cases or lodge that claim to officials in the second quarter of the year, up 10% on the last quarter and a 34% rise in one year. i mean, that's the bit people would say, hang on a minute, why suddenly are

meeting all these legal blocks, and you have to wonder why the government, if it knew it would face these obstacles, would bother going through all this effort, the enormous cost to the taxpayer, knowing it would fail. it is more of what annabel was talking about before, this red meat to its reporters, who loved this kind of thing, the nastier we are to people in genuine need, the better according to current conservative mac thinking... brute according to current conservative mac thinking. . ._ according to current conservative mac thinking. .. we have to leave it there, mac thinking. .. we have to leave it there. because _ mac thinking. .. we have to leave it there, because we _ mac thinking. .. we have to leave it there, because we are _ mac thinking. .. we have to leave it there, because we are out - mac thinking. .. we have to leave it there, because we are out of- mac thinking. .. we have to leave it there, because we are out of time. j there, because we are out of time. rachel shabi, annabel denham, we'll be back in about 40 minutes, and we will go to that story on ryanair. sport and whether annexed, and then we will go to singapore. see you a bit later —— sport and weather are next. good evening. i'm tulsen tollett and this

is your sports news. it wasn't to be for dina asher—smith on her return to the track at the european athletics championships in munich. she pulled up with cramp in the 100 metres final, missing out on a medal, but there was british success elsewhere in the men's and women's races. from germany, our correspondent nesta mcgregor reports. dina asher—smith may have been the top attraction... come on, dina! bring home the gold! ..but in zharnel hughes, britain had another defending champion, and the 27—year—old had company and competition in team—mates reece prescod and jeremiah azu. the gold medal, however, would go to the italian marcelljacobs in lane six. hughes was second and jeremiah azu, atjust 21, a european bronze medallist. i'm very proud of this guy

because he was in zone from the heats and then he came out and did it again, so i'm very proud of him, i'm very happy tonight. i wanted a gold medal, i gave everything i could possibly give, but jacobs was just better than me tonight. for great britain and northern ireland, dina asher—smith! less than a month since a hamstring injury, her title on the line. among those trying to topple her, fellow gb athletes darryl neita and imani lansiquot. asher—smith, in lane three again, pulled up. the result of the race, meanwhile, was initially too close to call, just a hundredth of a second separating the top three. finally, to everyone's surprise but the crowd's delight, a home—grown hero, and gb�*s darryl neita added a european bronze to her medal collection. so, heartbreak for dina asher—smith. she hasn't defended her european title, but three sprinting medals for britain, so still plenty of reasons to celebrate. perhaps not the perfect picture ending they had in mind, but a perfect picture

to end the night. nesta mcgregor, bbc news in munich. well, away from the track, britain thought they'd sealed a medal in the field. jacob fincham—dukes opening jump of 8.06 had him in the silver position at the end of competition, but he was demoted back to fifth after an appealfound thatjump was a foul. in the water, there was gold for great britain over in rome at the european aquatics championships. in the mixed relay, britain's quartet of tom dean, matt richards, freya colbert and freya anderson won in the four by 200 metre freestyle — anderson at the end holding off the challenge from france to take the title. after winning commonwealth games silver, there was also gold for britain's lois toulson and kyle kothari in the mixed ten metre synchro platform dive. it adds to the bronze success in the mixed team event in rome yesterday.

rangers drew 2—2 with psv eindhoven tonight in the first leg of their champions league play—off. 1—1 at the break, psv were the better side for most of the second half until their keeper walter benitez made a mess of tom lawrence's free—kick. but rangers weren't ahead for long and armando obispo equalised for psv. the second leg is in eindhoven next wednesday. england's new era in test cricket continues tomorrow morning — with the start of the final series of the summer. they welcome south africa to lord's for the first of three tests, buoyed by an unbeaten start since ben stokes became captain. joe wilson is at lord's. well, the rain that has fallen here at lord's was refreshing. the two weeks that ben stokes had away from cricket was reenergizing. he made that clear. and he will have james anderson and stuart broad bowling for him again — test match specialists, maybe the very last of their kind — but stokes is clear that the way

that england have played test matches this summer has done one crucial thing — it's generated interest. we could have ended up on the wrong side of those four test matches and walked away not winning one game, but what i think we managed to do as a team, which is incredibly powerful and almost rare, we almost brought a little bit of excitement back to english test cricket, and we would have brought fans along with us regardless of if the result went the wrong way. well, now, south africa have had a very good 2022. already this year, they've won test matches against bangladesh, against, new zealand, against india. and beating england, for their captain, would just be part of their journey. is it your ambition for south africa to be the best test team in the world? no doubt. i didn't take this job - thinking that we were just going to be mid—table and not playing our best cricket. - it's always been my goal, it's been my ambition. i i wouldn't do this job i if i didn't think we were very capable of doing that.

a lot of the back and forth in the build—up to this test match has involved south africa saying, "we don't really want to talk about england's new style of test match cricket," and england saying, "look at south africa, they keep talking about our new style of test match cricket!" all that really matters — for the format of the game — is that somebody is talking about test match cricket. there were two wins for the manchester originals in this evening's action in the hundred. they got their first victory in the women's competition, beating the welsh fire byjust 11 runs in a close finish at old trafford, whilejos buttler helped the men to a dominant win over the same opponents as the originals bowled fire out for 102 for a 47—run win, which is also their first victory of the campaign. and just enough time to let you know, emma raducanu is up against serena williams at the cincinnati open. that one starts around midnight. everything else on the website, of course, but that is all your sport for now.

hello there. temperatures have been coming down over the last few days. it's been getting cooler and fresher for england and wales, but we still hold onto some humidity through today where we'll see further thundery showers across the south. but largely dry with some sunshine across the north because of this ridge of high pressure. this weather front continues to generate showers and thunderstorms, though, from south wales, the midlands, southwards. again, some of them could be torrential, with the risk of localised flooding in places. but a fine day to come for scotland and northern ireland. dry here, more sunshine around. it'll feel quite pleasant, with temperatures reaching 18 or 19 degrees here. bit cooler for england and wales, particularly in the southeast, 20—23 degrees. through wednesday night, the showers and thunderstorms continue on across the extreme southeast, and then they'll tend to clear away, a new weather front pushing into scotland and northern ireland by the end of the night. temperatures rise here. down to single digits across northern england, but quite mild again across the southeast. towards the end of the week, it's sunshine and showers. most of the showers will affect northern and western areas.
