1:02 pm
some asylum seekers to rwanda. migrant charities and some of the people affected by the scheme had brought the claim, arguing that the east african nation wasn't safe. it was a mixed judgment for the government, as the home secretary suella braverman was ordered to re—examine eight individual cases. our home editor mark easton reports from the high court. refugees are welcome here!! refugees are welcome here! a small pro-refugee — refugees are welcome here! a small pro-refugee demonstration - refugees are welcome here! a small pro-refugee demonstration outsidel pro—refugee demonstration outside the high court marked the latest legal twist in the government's controversial plans to send asylum seekers to rwanda. this morning's judgment was handed down by lord justice lewis. he said... however, the court ruled against the home office when it came to the individual cases.
1:03 pm
well, the home office will be pleased at the judgment there their rwanda policy is lawful, the policy's power as a deterrent is based on being to act swiftly, so the ruling that the home secretary did not properly considered any of the eight individual cases will be a concern for the government. in a statement, this morning, suella braverman said... it is expected there will be appeals following the judgment although a decision on whether they will be allowed won't be made until next month. we allowed won't be made until next month. ~ , ., ., ., , , month. we believe and our lawyers have told us _ month. we believe and our lawyers have told us that _ month. we believe and our lawyers

1:05 pm
prime minister describing it as one of his top priorities. the home secretary said it was her dream to see a flight to rwanda take off before christmas but that won't happen for many weeks or months yet. so lawyers will now be going through today's lengthyjudgment, line by line, to see if they can find grounds for appeal. that appeal decision won't be made until mid january at the earliest. 0ne decision won't be made until mid january at the earliest. one can imagine this case we'll then go to the court of appeal and there will be another hearing their and it is then possible at the end of that that there will be a further appeal to the supreme court. the idea that we are going to be seeing flights to rwanda anytime seems extremely unlikely and it may be, i said at the end of the report, weeks or months but it could be this time next year before we finally get a situation where flights can leave for kigali and take those migrants that the government wants to deport
1:06 pm
to kigali. because the legal arguments will continue and not only about the general policy but also about the general policy but also about every individual that the home office tries to send there. 0ffice tries to send there. mark easton, thank you. the health secretary has said unions must make sure there is enough cover to respond to life—threatening emergencies this week when ambulance workers go out on strike. steve barclay said he was keen to continue dialogue — though the government has said it will be "resolute" in dealing with pay demands. the leader of the country's largest health union has accused the government of being "completely intransigent" on the issue of pay. tomorrow, nurses in some trusts in england, as well as in wales and northern ireland, are due take action for a second time. that's followed on wednesday by strikes by 10,000 ambulance and 999 staff in england and wales. they're expected to strike again on 28th december. here's our political

1:10 pm
representing ambulance staff but that does not seem to have happened as of now. of course, the sticking point is pay. his view is that the pay review body recommended an increase of between 4% and 5% for nhs workers and that is the end of the matter but he will talk about everything else. whereas the unions say there is no point in having a meeting if there is no talk about pay on the table at any stage. 0ne union leader, the unison leader, has said there is a breakdown of trust. it seems increasingly unlikely that any form of talks will take place before walk—outs for a second time by nurses in some parts of england and many parts of wales and northern ireland tomorrow and then ambulance staff on wednesday in many parts of england and wales. it is that strike on wednesday, that series of strikes which ministers are concerned about because of unanswered questions are still on what kind of cases the striking ambulance workers will and
1:11 pm
won't attend. it seems life—threatening injuries will be attended to but there is some category too because, as they are known, strokes and heart attacks, where further clarity is going to be needed and i think the advice has been, people may need to make their way to hospital if they have had a fall or a fracture or something. mi fall or a fracture or something. all right, pym, thank you. —— hugh pym. it's notjust health workers on strike in the coming days. there are further walk—outs by royal mail staff on the 23rd and 24th december. rail and bus workers also continue their industrial action. for full details of who is striking when and how walk outs may affect you, then please go to bbc news 0nline, that's bbc.co.uk/news, and by using the bbc news app. four boys who fell into an icy lake in the west midlands last week died from drowning, an inquest has heard. ten—year—old jackjohnson died along with finlay butler, who was eight,
