but this new research shows that every town and village will be affected differently by climate change. and the scientists say that governments need betterforecasting to protect communities and make informed decisions about where to build. being able to forecast is ideal. anything, any early warnings that we can have here i would say are so important, just because of the speed of things here. the best helper ever! it's information that will be crucial for katie and calder valley's next generation. victoria gill, bbc news in calderdale. i'm joined now by paul bates at the university of bristol and chairman of a company that provides high quality flood risk from a range of

sectors right across the globe. thank you forjoining us on bbc news. first off, is this model showing the truth, is it showing the future? are there any exemptions for what would being told? it’s what would being told? it's important _ what would being told? it's important to _ what would being told? it�*s important to realise all models are wrong, but this one is useful. we think it is useful because it produces a good match to current data and current maps of areas at risk of flooding and when we compare it to data of what's happened in the past, it does a good job of simulating. as far as we can tell, does a good job in the present day and that gives us some confidence of when we project it into the future, it is not going to be 1 when we project it into the future, it is not going to bet million miles. it is not going to be 1 million miles. , ., , it is not going to be 1 million miles, y., , y., it is not going to be 1 million miles. , miles. so when you put your factors in, what miles. so when you put your factors in. what was _ miles. so when you put your factors in, what was the _ miles. so when you put your factors in, what was the most _ miles. so when you put your factors

then the movie flourishes. and then austin wins the golden globe for best actor. and then we have the sadness and the shock of losing lisa marie. it's been such an incredible emotional roller coaster, an up and down. it's an incredibly difficult time and tumultuous time, you know, and... but i think back to when she first saw the film and when priscilla saw the film and how... their reaction to it, and especially because they felt the way that they did about it. no review will ever mean more to me than what what they said after, you know. # going to a party at the countyjail # tomorrow, all of america will be talking about elvis presley. - all your films have such energy. like, i remember the first time i watched moulin rouge. it kind of slaps you in the face.

it's different to anything else. how do you do that? well, my energy might be, you know, slightly dribbling away as the years go on. but they're designed like that. they're engagement films. they're meant to say, "come with us on the ride." they're meant to challenge you in the beginning. they're not keyhole psychological dramas. they are participatory cinematic works. and i think the energy of the movies comes from baz's energy— how does it feel? it feels like a dream. you know, i'm trying to... i'm trying to take snapshots in my mind and really remember these moments. the newness of all this will never happen again. so i really want to remember it. there's so much buzz around this whole, this part of the industry. and i'm used tojust being the guy who's, you know, you can sort of hide behind a character. so there's a lot of talking about yourself. cheering

already this morning and there's more snow to come as we go through this week. today, we've got this weather front continuing to move away with its wintry mix of rain, sleet and snow. we've got that northerly wind coming straight down from the arctic and windward coasts will see further wintry showers through the course of the day, across northern scotland, northern ireland and northeast england. now, this weather front eventually does clear, but behind it, there'll be a fair bit of cloud, some wintry flurries developing inland through the day, but equally a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine and it's going to feel cold for most. temperatures widely between 1—4 degrees. in the southwest and the channel islands, temperatures a little bit higher. as we go through the evening and overnight, this weatherfront starts to swing into the mild air in the southwest. so initially we'll see some rain, but as it bumps into the cold air, you can see how that readily turns to snow across southern counties and also the south midlands. under clear skies further north, it's going to be cold. there'll be a widespread frost, the risk of ice on untreated surfaces and temperatures in sheltered glens in scotland could fall as low as —13, possibly —15.

so tomorrow, we still have the arctic air firmly in place. the atlantic air trying to push into southern areas. and for the rush hour, there will be some snow likely across parts of southern england before that moves away. but later in the day, we'll see more rain preceded by snow coming in across the southwest. move north of that for scotland, northern england, northern ireland and much of east anglia, it should be dry. but, once again, it is going to be a cool day away from the southwest. then it turns a little bit more disruptive on thursday into friday. disruptive snow, heavy snowfalls across the north pennines, northern ireland and the scottish hills. so this could affect you if you live in these areas with disruption to travel, for example, as this deep area of low pressure comes in with its weather fronts. now in the south, in the mild air, we're going to have rain and windy conditions. it's also going to be windy where we've got the falling snow. so that snow will be drifting and blowing. north of that in scotland, something drier and brighter, but still cold in the north,

milder in the southwest, which is why we're seeing rain here and not snow. but worth pointing out the areas that the met office has the warnings out for the heavy snow, this could lead to some disruption.

this is bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak. welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the globe. our top stories — the home secretary is due to outline the government's plans for a law that cracks down on channel migrants who travel to the uk illegally. but it is making a promise they cannot keep, it is saying we will detain and deport everybody, and nobody will claim asylum, but when the government has no option to send somebody somewhere, that means the government will have to admit to the uk asylum system the people it is saying it will declare inadmissible. we'll bring you coverge of suella braverman's statement, live from the house of commons. another day of strikes

and widespread disruption in france, as unions battle against planned pension reforms. and the scramble is under way as eurovision super—fans rush to get their hands on tickets for this year's contest. hello, to bbc news. —— welcome to bbc news. in the next half hour, the uk government will outline its plan to change the law, to stop migrants crossing the english channel from france in small boats. many claim asylum when they arrive, but the new legislation would force ministers to remove anyone who enters the uk illegally.

the measures are likely to face challenges, and the home secretary, suella braverman, has accepted the government is pushing the boundaries of international law. we'll bring you all sides of the arguments in the next few minutes — we start with our correspondent simon jones in dover. today is certainly a big day in the british government's attempts to bring a halt to the small boat crossings. the prime minister, rishi sunak, has said that ultimately people crossing the channel in small boats are not facing a direct threat to their life over in northern france, they are not directly fleeing persecution in northern france and therefore it's simply not fair. so the big idea of the british government is saying to people that from today, anyone arriving in future may be detained, deported, and ultimately denied the right to apply for asylum in the uk. now, although legislation is being introduced in parliament today, it will take several months to become law, assuming it all goes through as planned.

but we are being told that law will apply retrospectively, so people arriving from today could be told in future they cannot ever return to the uk once they've been removed. now, it sounds rather drastic. the home secretary, suella braverman, is saying enough of sticking plasters, they need to do something drastic. but i think the government here accepts it is potentially going to face some pretty strong legal challenges and some pretty strong scrutiny. the government here saying they have to act, given the numbers who have been making this crossing. we know that yesterday there were a number of boats being brought to shore, even though it was bitterly cold. the weather out in the channel was calm. so far this year, more than 3,000 people have made the crossing. officials at the home office planning for potentially 80,000 people to make the journey. but critics say what you actually need is to open more safe and legal routes to allow people to apply for asylum, potentially from abroad, with the idea of allowing

them to come to the uk. now, the british government has hinted that if their new plans go according to plan and if they start to reduce the number of people arriving illegally as they see it, they will look at opening more safe and legal routes. but they are saying they need to get a grip on the small boat crossings first. as well as what we're seeing here, i think there's going to be a lot of focus on friday as well when the british prime minister's going to meet his french counterpart, the french president, emanuel macron. i think what's going to be interesting is whether the french are likely to make any concessions in terms of the idea of taking any of the people making the crossing back. i think at the moment it's looking like the french are not keen on that idea at all. ——emmanuel macron. let's take you live to the house of commons where home secretary suella braverman is shortly due to set out the government's plan. as we've heard, it would

place a new legal duty on the home secretary to remove anyone who enters the country illegally, which would be given precedence over existing legislation on asylum and human rights. we'll bring you that live in around half an hour. the plans will be outlined in parliament shortly. let's talk live to our political correspondent jonathan blake. jonathan, how likely is it that the home secretary will get what she seeks from parliament today? this is government — seeks from parliament today? this is government legislation, _ seeks from parliament today? this is government legislation, and - seeks from parliament today? this is government legislation, and it - seeks from parliament today? this is government legislation, and it will. government legislation, and it will have the backing of the vast majority of conservative mps, so there isn't really much of a question about whether the government will be able to get this through parliament, certainly in the

early stages, it is more really about the detail of the home secretary comes forward with today, and how workable and feasible we know what the government is trying to do, as we have from simonjust now, to come here under current laws, which the government has passed, although they have been subject to challenge, illegally. they want to place a legal duty on the home secretary to deport via that route, as for where people will be detained and how the government plans to get around legal challenges to this legislation, are far less clear. but rishi sunak the prime minister has placed a huge amount of political capital, setting it out in

january is one of his top five priorities to stop the small boats crossing the channel, passing new laws to do that, so he needs to be seen at the very least to be coming up seen at the very least to be coming up with new solutions in order to try to achieve that aim, but as we have heard and been reported, it is incredibly difficult issue to tackle. this prime minister and previous ones have tried and failed to make much of a difference so far. this is the latest solution that the government is coming forward with, and we await the detail of it, as you say, in the next half hour or so. you say, in the next half hour or so. �* ., ., ., you say, in the next half hour or so. �* ., ., ., ,., you say, in the next half hour or so. , ., . ., y., ., so. jonathan, you did mention revious so. jonathan, you did mention previous attempts _ so. jonathan, you did mention previous attempts by - so. jonathan, you did mention previous attempts by previousj previous attempts by previous administrations. in 2022, priti patel had the nationality and borders act. how effective was that? in terms of limiting the number of small boats crossing the channel, it has not really had much effect at all. the number has gone up successively over the last few

years, and there being 3000 also already crossing the channel so far this year, so in terms of any actual deterrent the government has been able to put in place or to try to manage or control or one of those crossings, then frankly so far nothing has worked. we have the attempts to reach that arrangement with rwanda, which the government unveiled last year, under which people coming to the uk illegally via that route across the channel could find themselves sent to the wonder —— sent to rwanda, but that has not worked yet, there has been no flights from the uk to the rwandan capital under that arrangement because there has been legal objections to every case the government has tried to make it work with. so, so far, the government has really been at a loss, this and previous governments, in terms of tackling this issue, they admit now, ministers admit, that in doing what they plan to hear, they are pushing

they plan to hear, they are pushing the boundaries, in the words of the home secretary, of international law, and their obligations under that. but they clearly feel that is what is needed, and the only possible option available now in order to try to tackle this problem. 0k, order to try to tackle this problem. ok, jonathan blake, thank you very much indeed. thank you. the former chief immigration officer of the uk's border forcer kevin saundersjoined me to answer the question, what are the current legal immigration routes for asylum seekers? well, basically they are the bmos from hong kong, the afghan scheme, which is scaling down, and ukraine. realistically, that is about all there is at the moment. the key thing is these people are arriving undocumented.

they are told to throw their documents away. i should think the bottom of the channel is full up with passports, id cards, etc, because that is what they are told to do, because if you have not got a document, it is incredibly difficult to remove somebody, because how do you know when they ask them for their name, where they have come from, the date of birth, that they are giving you the right information? when i was in calais taking people out of the backs of lorries, the vast majority of these young men we were taking out were not asylum seekers, they were economic migrants. and they told us they were. earlier, i spoke to sunder katwala, director of british future. they're a think tank trying to find consensus for reforms on controversial issues like immigration. i asked him if there was a centre ground on issues like immigration.

we have a debate that is very polarised between people who want to be tough about controls and people who want to be humane and compassionate, but what we actually need is we need a system that is orderly, promises that are workable, and a system that is humane at the same time, and a lot of noise about politics and headline grabbing, about how governments will cooperate to manage the channel to have safe ways for people with asylum claims to claim them in britain and deals with other countries about what to do with people whose claims are not valid. we could find a middle ground, but this kind of politics makes it harder. sir keir starmer has said this isjust electioneering. is that what you're referring to when you say noise, or are you being more specific? ifeel like i am in the film groundhog day, because the government is passing a bill saying anyone arriving across the channel will be deported, that is exactly what priti patel said two years ago. if passing a bill could stop the boats,

last year's bill would have done it. this new bill can do some things where the government thinks it can deport people, but it is making a promise that cannot keep. it says they will detain and deport everybody, and nobody will claim asylum, but when the government has no option to send people somewhere, you cannot send people to afghanistan, and your rwanda scheme doesn't exist yet and will not exist before christmas, that means the government will have to admit to the uk asylum system the people it says it will declare inadmissible. it has had these inadmissibility rules since brexit day, but it does not say what it is possible to do,

it is giving the home secretary a legal duty to deport people when she can, but she cannot in the case of afghanistan, syria, and eritrea, so we need to create a proper asylum system in britain which takes our fair share of claims and to negotiate with other governance about how to manage the channel better. why should other governments take our problems, if i can use that term? it is about a serious negotiation with france. rishi sunak has shown he can do better than people thought by having serious negotiation. if we said to france, you're taking 100,000 asylum claims and we do not want any, so take everybody back, france would say that is not a serious position. let's had a conversation about who britain should take, who has got a link to britain, maybe, who has got good language skills or connections here, and if we are taking ourfair share, could you take people back or do not fit within that system. that will be a serious negotiation. i can't guarantee it will get a result, but it should break the deadlock. it will mean people are not risking their lives taking dangerous journeys. you're watching bbc news.

coming up, ministers gather to hear from the home secretary on the new immigration bill. suella braverman will be speaking shortly. eurovision fans have been trying to get coveted tickets for this year's song contest. tickets went on sale at midday and are in high demand for the the nine public shows being staged in liverpool across a two—week period in may. joing us now is the bbc�*s eurovisioncast host daniel rosney. ijust had to double—check the time there, because you have been sitting here nonstop on your phone, what is going on? here nonstop on your phone, what is auoin on? ~ here nonstop on your phone, what is uuoinon?~ ~ going on? might whatsapps our oinion, going on? might whatsapps our opinion, twitter _ going on? might whatsapps our opinion, twitter is _

you. this is bbc news. uk scientists have produced a detailed "future flood map" of britain, simulating the impacts of flooding as climate change takes its toll. the study showed that every part of mainland britain will be affected differently, with some areas much more vulnerable than others to flood damage. here's our science correspondent victoria gill. as water trickles through this woodland in calderdale, a team of local volunteers are getting to work. what we're trying to do is just divert this into woodland. katie's nearby home has been flooded in the past because in this steep sided valley, heavy rain can swell the river very quickly. how bad does flooding get in this area? it's catastrophic. it's incredibly fast. it's a wave of destruction. it's physically and mentally hard for people here.

there've been repeated devastating floods here in recent years. and when the water subsides, it can take months to repair the damage to homes and businesses. across the uk, destruction from flooding costs an estimated £700 million per year. here at the fathom labs in bristol, they're simulating all of the causes of flooding, creating maps that will help people to plan and prepare. we call this a flood hazard map. so what we've done is we've simulated the probability and intensity of flooding on every river in the uk. scientists used layers of information about what causes flooding. they mapped the terrain of mainland britain and combined that with data on rainfall patterns, how water's moved through our rivers and around our coastal area. they've combined all this information with details from the met office about how exactly climate change will affect flood risk. even if we can keep global temperatures to a 1.8 degree increase, there are areas where flood risk will increase significantly, including the southeast and northwest of england and south wales.

but there will be little change across northeast and central england as well as eastern and northern scotland. there are many places where risk is growing and being able to understand the communities and the regions where this is likely to happen allows us to make sensible investment decisions about making interventions such as engineering structures or natural flood management, or indeed moving people out of harm's way. a warmer climate means more extremes, including more heavy rainfall. but this new research shows that every town and village will be affected differently by climate change. and the scientists say that governments need betterforecasting to protect communities and make informed decisions about where to build. being able to forecast is ideal. anything, any early warnings that we can have here i would say are so important, just because of the speed of things here. the best helper ever! it's information that will be crucial for katie and calder valley's next generation.

victoria gill, bbc news, in calderdale. i am nowjoined by steve east, engineering manager for the thames barrier and associated gates. thank you forjoining us on bbc news. first off, in terms i am sure you have had a look at this flooding map, because you would keep your eye on all of these datasets and models that come out, how does your region fair? you operate the thames barrier, how does that area, how is it reflected in this new model? the thames it reflected in this new model? tue: thames barrier it reflected in this new model? tte: thames barrier and it reflected in this new model? tt2 thames barrier and associated flood defences give a world—class level of protection to london from the threat of tidal flooding. it was always expected that the barrier would be used more over the years, and we now know that we will provide that level of protection until 2070 or thereabouts. so we are not being

complacent, and as your report says, global warming is now factored in sea—level rise, so from 1911 through to 2018, in the thames region, the thames catchment, the thames estuary, we saw a 1.a nolito rise. in the last few years, that has gone up in the last few years, that has gone up to 3.6 level rise —— 1.a millimetres. so that is concerning. one of those areas where the risk of flooding is most likely to increase rapidly is your london area. tell us about the thames barrier. why was it put in place? why the need for it? the threat to london has been there for centuries, samuel pepys wrote about it in his diaries, for example, and as recent as 1928, people were drowned in london because of tidal flood. so the barrier was constructed of eight

years from 197a to 1982, and it has been operational since 198a, and it has been closed for flood defence purposes on 207 occasions now. so thatis purposes on 207 occasions now. so that is 207 times london has been under threat, that is 207 times london has been underthreat, but that is 207 times london has been under threat, but because of the thames barrier and associated defences, londoners and visitors to london have been able to go about their normal business staying safe from that danger.— their normal business staying safe from that danger. let's 'ust say the thames barrier h from that danger. let's 'ust say the thames barrier did _ from that danger. let's 'ust say the thames barrier did not _ from that danger. let'sjust say the thames barrier did not show- from that danger. let'sjust say the thames barrier did not show up - from that danger. let'sjust say the thames barrier did not show up in l thames barrier did not show up in time or there was a model that was not as efficient as the one in place now. when we talk about flood damage, what would london experience? would it be all out flooding? would it be flood plain, water table rising, what are we talking about? th water table rising, what are we talking about?— water table rising, what are we talkin: about? . ., ., , . talking about? in the area affected b the talking about? in the area affected by the thames _ talking about? in the area affected by the thames title _ talking about? in the area affected by the thames title defences, - talking about? in the area affectedl by the thames title defences, there are 500 domestic properties with a value of over £300 million, there are thousands of commercial

properties, and 1.a2 million people in that area. four heritage sites. a000 listed buildings. the list goes on and on. and of course, the infrastructure of our capital city. so what are protect is immense, and in order to ensure that protection, we have a plan called the thames estuary 2100 plan, which as you would expect texas to the year 2100, and it is adaptive strategy so that we can modify and improve our flood defences in order to cope until the end of the century —— takes us to the year 2100. that plan will be updated and it will be available in may this year. {lila updated and it will be available in may this year-— may this year. 0k, can't wait to find out more _ may this year. 0k, can't wait to find out more about _ may this year. 0k, can't wait to find out more about that. - may this year. 0k, can't wait to find out more about that. steve east, thank you very much indeed. pleasure. taste east, thank you very much indeed. pleasure. ~ ., ., ., , pleasure. we are going to be coverin: pleasure. we are going to be covering live _ pleasure. we are going to be covering live events - pleasure. we are going to be covering live events from - pleasure. we are going to be covering live events from the pleasure. we are going to be - covering live events from the house

of commons, that it is the view you have on your screen right now, those green benches have been filling up slowly. the reason why? well, the home secretary suella braverman is going to be outlining the government's plan to change the law in terms of stopping migrants crossing the english channel from france in small boats. this matters notjust france in small boats. this matters not just to the france in small boats. this matters notjust to the uk, but also to those people we referred to in verse small boats, and where they are coming from. so the repercussions of what we are about to hear our way beyond the uk borders. many claiming asylum when they arrive could find that the law will change, and part of the uk government's plans is that this law is going to be applied retrospectively. this plan will be

presented today to parliament. if somebody is caught in one of these small boats, or even in the lorries and deemed illegal, it is an illegal crossing, you will be deported immediately, and you will also not be allowed to return to the uk to claim asylum in the future or to seek british citizenship. that is the only detail we have at the moment. hopefully in the next few minutes we will find out more information about the government's plans for this new build. in the meantime, france is in the grip of another nationwide strike in the plans to reform pensions. the stoppage is affecting transport, schools and many public services.

the dispute is over government plans to raise the age at which workers can claim state pensions from the age of 62 to 6a. as well as stoppages at transport depots, there also been blockages, blockades set “p also been blockages, blockades set up at some major roads. this is a north—western brittany, those barricades also set on fire at some point. this was the scene and another northern french town on tuesday morning, the french government is saying that if the reforms aren't introduced, france or run up around 600 billion dollars worth of deficit to pay the pensions. opinion polls suggesting that two

thirds of french people opposed his plans. earlier, ispoke thirds of french people opposed his plans. earlier, i spoke to an elected official of the cgt union, the governing body catered to managerial staff and they told me that the reforms are unfair. tt’s that the reforms are unfair. it's auoin that the reforms are unfair. it's going well. _ that the reforms are unfair. tt�*s going well, people are committed to stopping the reform so it's really great for us. it means that we are a number of people that is meaningful and that doesn't want this reform to pass so it's good for now. truths; and that doesn't want this reform to pass so it's good for now.- pass so it's good for now. why don't ou want pass so it's good for now. why don't you want to — pass so it's good for now. why don't you want to reform _ pass so it's good for now. why don't you want to reform the _ pass so it's good for now. why don't you want to reform the party? - pass so it's good for now. why don't you want to reform the party? is - pass so it's good for now. why don't you want to reform the party? is a l you want to reform the party? is a reform that _ you want to reform the party? is a reform that is _ you want to reform the party? is a reform that is not _ you want to reform the party? t3 2 reform that is not necessary. this reform that is not necessary. this reform goes on the wrong direction, it wants to makes us work more when everyone is saying we should work less because the more we work, the more we produce, the more we use resources and with climate change, we need to use less resources and we need more time to live and not work.

in the meantime, it looks as if this bill is proceeding through parliament. the stoppages don't look as if they are going to be successful. what are you going to do next? we successful. what are you going to do next? ~ ., , ., , successful. what are you going to do next? ~ .,, ., , , ., , next? we hope that they listen to us because it's — next? we hope that they listen to us because it's not _ next? we hope that they listen to us because it's not clear— next? we hope that they listen to us because it's not clear that _ next? we hope that they listen to us because it's not clear that we - next? we hope that they listen to us because it's not clear that we will. because it's not clear that we will have a majority to pass it through parliament. we can't count on companies to say the price for this bill is too high so the government and the president had to listen. do you feel that you have the public with you on this because this is the sixth day this year and in the meantime, public life is being disrupted?— meantime, public life is being disruted? , , , disrupted? yes, but people, there is a very popular— disrupted? yes, but people, there is a very popular support _ disrupted? yes, but people, there is a very popular support for _ disrupted? yes, but people, there is a very popular support for this - a very popular support for this movement. a lot of people are on strike, a lot of people who are not used on being on strike are striking

measures. the illegal migration bill will fulfil that promise. it will allow us to stop the boats that are bringing tens of thousands to our shores in flagrant breach of both our laws and the world that the british people. the united kingdom must always approach the world's most vulnerable. since 2015, we have given sanctuary to nearly 500,000 people. these include 150,000 people from hong kong, hundred 60,000 people from ukraine, 25,000 afghans fleeing that her ban. my own parents, decades ago, found security and opportunity in this country. something for which my family is eternally grateful. crucially, these

are decisions supported by the british people, precisely because they were decisions made by the british people and their elected representatives. not by the people smugglers and other criminals breaking into britain on a daily basis. fora breaking into britain on a daily basis. for a government, breaking into britain on a daily basis. fora government, not breaking into britain on a daily basis. for a government, not to respond to waves of illegal migrants breaching our borders would be to betray the will of the people we were elected to serve. the small boats problem as part of a larger global migration crisis. in the coming years, developed countries will face unprecedented levels with pressures from ever greater numbers of people leaving the developing world for places like the united kingdom. unless we act today, the problem will be worse tomorrow. and the problem is already unsustainable. mr speaker, people are dying in the channel. the volume

of illegal arrivals has overwhelmed our asylum system. the backlog has ballooned to over 160,000. the asylum system now costs the british cap taxpayer £3 billion a year. since 2018, some 85,000 people illegally entered the uk by a small boat. a5,000 of them in 2022 alone. all travelled through multiple safe countries in which they could and should have claimed asylum. many came from safe countries like albania. almost all passed through france. the much vast majority, 7a% in 2021, were adult males under the age of a0, rich enough to pay criminal gangs thousands of pounds

for passage. upon arrival, most were accommodating hotels across the country, costing the british taxpayer around £6 million a day. the risk remains that these individuals just disappear and we try to remove them, they turn our generous asylum laws against us to prevent removal. they need for reform is obvious and is urgent. this government has not set on its hands, mr speaker. since this prime minister took office, recognising the necessity ofjoint solutions with france, we have signed a new deal providing more technology and embedding british offices with french patrols and i hope friday's anglo—french summit will further deepen that cooperation. we have created a new small boats operation command, with over 700 new staff. we've doubled mca funding to tackle

smuggling gangs. we've increased enforcement rate. we have signed a deal with albania that is already enabled the return of hundreds of illegal arrivals. we are procuring accommodation including on military land to end the farce of accommodating migrants in hotels. let's be honest, it's still not enough. in the face of today's global migration crisis, yesterday's laws are simply not fit for purpose. to anyone proposing de facto open orders with unlimited roots as the alternative, they were 100 million people around the world who could qualify for protection under our current laws. let's be clear, they are coming here. we have seen a 500... 500% increase in small boat

crossings into years and this mr speaker is the crucial point of this bill. they will not stop coming here until the world knows that if you enter britain illegally, you will be detained and swiftly removed. removed back to your country, if it's a safe or to a safe country, sa third country like rwanda. that is precisely what this bill will do. that is how we will stop the boats. mr speaker, this bill enables the tension of illegal arrivals without bail or traditional view within the first 28 days of detention until they can be removed. pets are duty on the home secretary to remove illegal entrants and will radically narrow the number of challenges and appeals that can suspend removal. only those under 18, medically unfit

to fly or at a real risk of serious irreversible harm and exceedingly high harm in the country were removing to, will be able to delay their removal. any other claims will be heard remotely after removal. when our modern slavery act passed, the impact assessment envisaged 300 3500 referrals. last year... modern slavery laws are being abused to block removals. that's why we granted more than 50% of asylum requests from citizens of a safe european country and nato ally, albania. that's why this bill disqualifies illegal entrants from using modern slavery rules to prevent removal. mr speaker, i won't

address the bill's full legal complexities today. some of the nations finest legal minds have been and continue to be involved in its development. i must say this, rule 39 and the process that enabled the stag bird call to block at the last minute, flights to rwanda after our courts had reviews injunctions was deeply flawed. our ability to control our borders cannot be held back by opaque process conducted late at night with no chance to make our case or even appeal decisions. that's why, we have initiated discussions in strasbourg to ensure their blocking orders meet standards. one that prevents abuse of rule 39 to fort removal. that's why the bill were set out the conditions for the uk's feature compliant with such orders. other

countries share our dilemma and will understand the justice of our position. ourapproach understand the justice of our position. our approach is robust which is why we can't make a definitive statement of compatibility under section 91 b of the human rights act. the uk will always seek to uphold national law and i am confident that this bill though is compatible with international obligations. when we stop the boats, the bill were it is an annual cap to be determined by parliament and the number of refugees the uk will settle by a safe and legal rates. this will ensure an orderly system, considering local authority capacity for housing, public services and support. to conclude, the british people are famously a fair and patient people. but their sense of fair play has been tested beyond its limits and they have seen the

country being taken for a ride. their patience has run out. the law—abiding page article majority have said enough is enough. this cannot and will not continue. their government, this government must act decisively, must act with determination, must act with compassion, must act with proportion. so make no mistake. this conservative government, this conservative government, this conservative prime minister will act now to stop the boats and i commend this statement to the house. thank you, mr speaker. a record 45.000 — thank you, mr speaker. a record 45,000 people crossed the channel and age _ 45,000 people crossed the channel and age are small boats last year. up and age are small boats last year. up from _

i've got no idea what labour's planners. i'll assume the shadow home secretary is still committed to scrapping our rwanda partnership. i'll assume the lead of the opposition still wants to close immigration removal centres as he promised during his leadership campaign. the shadow home secretary talks about safe and legal rates, i wonder what number they would cut that out, 500,000? wonder what number they would cut that out, 500,00071 wonder what number they would cut that out, 500,000? 1 million? 5 million? she should be honest with this house and with the british people. what she really means is unlimited safe and legal rates. open borders by the back door. she says gets area so let's look at the facts. the british people want to stop the boats, it's one of the five

promises that the prime minister made to the british people but stop the boats didn't even feature in the leader of the opposition's five bay commissions. it's because he public doesn't care or because he doesn't know what to do? we all know why and the british people know why, it's because deep down, the leader of the opposition doesn't want to stop the boats. he thinks it's bigoted to say that we have got too much illegal migration, it's because labour mps were dropped preferred to write letters stopping the removal of foreign national offenders. it's because the labour party would prefer to vote against our measures to penalised foreign national offenders, to streamline our asylum system. those are the facts. they

are against the tiring people who had come here illegally, they are against detaining people who do come here illegally and they are against deporting people who are here illegally. that means that they are for their situation getting worse and worse. perhaps that's fine. perhaps that's fine for the leader of the opposition and most of the labour front bench. of the opposition and most of the labourfront bench. but of the opposition and most of the labour front bench. but it's not their schools, labour front bench. but it's not theirschools, is labour front bench. but it's not their schools, is not their gps, is not for their public services, housing and oh hotels filling up with illegal migrants. perhaps that's why even before seeing this bill and engaging on the substance, labour has a ready said that it wouldn't support its passage through parliament. it is the leader of the opposition permitting that labour laws will block it? the british

people want to stop the boats. the conservative government that has a plan to stop the boats. this prime minister will stop the boats and if the people want closed minds and open borders, then they they can rely on labour. open borders, then they they can rely on labour-— open borders, then they they can rely on labour. never have i heard such fabricated _ rely on labour. never have i heard such fabricated rage _ rely on labour. never have i heard such fabricated rage against - rely on labour. never have i heard such fabricated rage against from | rely on labour. never have i heard| such fabricated rage against from a party— such fabricated rage against from a party opposite who has constantly been _ party opposite who has constantly been a _ party opposite who has constantly been a policy vacuum. i support this bill and _ been a policy vacuum. i support this bill and particularly the positions... bill and particularly the positions. . ._ bill and particularly the positions... live coverage concerning _ positions... live coverage concerning the _ positions... live coverage concerning the new - positions... live coverage concerning the new bill i positions... live coverage j concerning the new bill by positions... live coverage - concerning the new bill by this positions... live coverage _ concerning the new bill by this home secretary, suella braverman can be followed on bbc parliament. there has been a number of reactions to what she has had to say. labour

saying enough is enough. here is suella braverman saying i'm not hearing a plan from labour. like i said, you can continue to follow this discussion on the bbc parliament channel. in the meantime, we've got the news at lunchtime coming up. and all your latest top stories. hello again. some of us have seen some snow already this morning and there's more snow to come as we go through this week. today, we've got this weather front continuing to move away with its wintry mix of rain, sleet and snow. we've got that northerly wind coming straight down from the arctic and windward coasts will see further wintry showers through the course of the day, across northern scotland, northern ireland and northeast england. now, this weather front eventually does clear, but behind it, there'll be a fair bit of cloud, some wintry flurries developing inland through the day, but equally a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine and it's going to feel cold for most. temperatures widely between 1—a degrees. in the southwest and the channel islands,

temperatures a little bit higher. as we go through the evening and overnight, this weatherfront starts to swing into the mild air in the southwest. so initially we'll see some rain, but as it bumps into the cold air, you can see how that readily turns to snow across southern counties and also the south midlands. under clear skies further north, it's going to be cold. there'll be a widespread frost, the risk of ice on untreated surfaces and temperatures in sheltered glens in scotland could fall as low as —13, possibly —15. so tomorrow, we still have the arctic air firmly in place. the atlantic air trying to push into southern areas. and for the rush hour, there will be some snow likely across parts of southern england before that moves away. but later in the day, we'll see more rain preceded by snow coming in across the southwest. move north of that for scotland, northern england, northern ireland and much of east anglia, it should be dry. but, once again, it is going to be a cool day away from the southwest. then it turns a little bit more disruptive on thursday into friday. disruptive snow, heavy snowfalls

across the north pennines, northern ireland and the scottish hills. so this could affect you if you live in these areas with disruption to travel, for example, as this deep area of low pressure comes in with its weather fronts. now in the south, in the mild air, we're going to have rain and windy conditions. it's also going to be windy where we've got the falling snow. so that snow will be drifting and blowing. north of that in scotland, something drier and brighter, but still cold in the north, milder in the southwest, which is why we're seeing rain here and not snow. but worth pointing out the areas that the met office has the warnings out for the heavy snow, this could lead to some disruption.

today at 1pm: a new government plan to stop migrants arriving in the uk on small boats. ministers admit the plan will push the boundaries of international law. it would mean people arriving illegally being detained and deported. it will allow us to stop the boats that are bringing tens of thousands to our shores in flagrant breach of both our laws and the will of the british people. they have been in power for 13 years. the asylum system is broken and they broke it. there have been many attempts to stop the boats down the years but the government says this time its new measures will work. but opponents and some charities say

they will not work
