make sure it's a fit for you try to send anyone there. >> we are disappointed with the decision today. we will be putting in an application to seek permission to appeal and the judgment very quickly. -- swiftly. >> hello there and welcome to the program. the u.k. court of appeal has struck down the government's plan to support some asylum-seekers to rwanda calling it unlawful. richie sunak has vowed to appeal. also on the program tonight we'll be live in paris where there's been a third straight day after 17-year-old boy was shot dead by french police on tuesday. the huge police presence has been deployed across the capitol. we also have the story of a

survivor of unmarried irish mothers from britain to ireland until the 1970's. she and others are calling for an official apology. inflation is hitting the british family holiday this summer. prices have soared in the last year especially packaged trips was in current to choose between school uniforms were taking for short break. this go to the decision from the court of appeal. three senior judges rolled that the plan to deport asylum-seekers to rwanda is unlawful. could not be treated as a safe third country. the judgment is being seen as a major setback so prime minister rishi sunak -- richie sunak to appeal the decision. here is our home editor, mark easton. >> the government's controversial policy has been delta significant blow.

the appeal court concluded the east african country is not safe enough for the u.k. dissent asylum-seekers there. the lord chief justice announced it had been as foot decision. he thought rwanda was safe but his two colleagues did not. >> the deficiencies are such that there are substantial grounds for believing that there is a real risk that persons center wonderful be returned to their home countries where they face persecution for other inhumane treatment when in fact they have a good claim for asylum. in that sense rwanda is not a safe country. >> t government will be disappointed by today's majority judgment. a blow to the home secretary who has expressed enthusiasm getting flights started soon as possible. that's not the end of the legal journey. it will move to the supreme court for a final hearing later this year.

issuing a statement he fundamentally disagrees with the court's conclusion insisting rwanda was safe and that it was written and its government who should decide who comes here, not criminal gangs. the home secretary who recently visited migrant accommodation has confirmed the government doesn't tend to appeal but government boils will also be working having no safe country they can send hydrants to muse the controversial illegal migration bill is not fatally flawed. >> that's where we're changing the laws. we are rolling out a groundbreaking partnership with rwanda which we believe is lawful. with a country that we believe is safe. we need to change the system. we need to change our ls. >> the government believes the threat of being forcibly removed to east africa will deter people from crossing the channel and entering the u.k. illegally.

offices on impact assessment says there's little or no evidence that it will work. refugee agencies argue today's ruling demonstrate why the whole illegal migration policy should jump. >> reconsider the policy the court has said not to send asylum-seekers to rwanda. make sure it is a fit for you try to send anyone there. >> is a year since a plane loaded with migrants set on the runway unable to leave after judges intervened. today's ruling means it will be months, if ever, before any similar flight is clear take off. mark easton, bbc news >> let's welcome our guest. direor of survivor empowerment and freedom from torture, one of the groups involved in this case. he's also a survivor of torture. thank you for joining us. how important do you feel this

decision today is? we have heard from human rights groups including a calling from your organization saying this is an issue for a reason and compassion. but the judges did stress their decision implies no view whatsoever of the merits for the policy. how important is this today for you? >> thank you, thank you for having me. it's really important. for somebody that come, you know, through a root which is now deemed illegal entering this country who was also put in immiation detention center and about to be deported. those kinds of rulings allow us to highlight the most important part. t of everything. people clean persecution. people arelaying torture and seeking protection. also in our responsibilitys,

you know, one of the countries of the refugee convention and not to put, you know, our duty and to other third country. taking responsibility away from us. that is inhumane treatment and this policy won't work in this policy is not lawful. >> the government says that they're going to go to the supreme court now. in essence, is the battle not yet over? >> absolutely. i think the battle is not over but still it's really important that we got that win right now and it's important that the reload law spoke. same with the government is doing is unlawful. i think that's the most important.

come tomorrow and we will deal with tomorrow but today is really, it's a strong message majority of people, you know, this country which stand up for torture which is what it was a standard for people to come in and seek attention. it was standard for our compassion and welcome tradition. >> so we heard from secretary yvette cooper saying there's actually no guidebook for asylum people. information on how you're supposed to apply for asylum is not easy to access. the route that many people who are facing being deported to rwanda did come in through. what are the safe, legal routes available for people wanting to seek asylum in the u.k. at the moment? >> at the moment, the true route that we know one is for the ukraine and the other one is for kong.

i think that is the one, you know, that's the only one. we heard about african but nothing happened with that. there is actually no, you know, wrote that is available for people. that is why people, you know, use the means available to them to try taking those risks and try to cross. that is a big part of the problem. because there is no rupte people legally or safely to get into that is life to set protections so those people take those dangerous routes people are taking. >> would do you make of the response from the government of rwanda pushing back against the narrative that this is not a safe asylum for people who are seeking safe haven? >> i understand the position of rwanda. i think for me, personally, it's not about rwanda rated it's

about us. it's about our moral ground. it's about power responsibility. it is in our duty to protect people when people come to us. it's not for us to pay another country to take the responsibility away from us. otherwise, how could we contribute globally in addressing the issue of migration if we try to remove ourselves from the global, you know, help. i think that's the most important thing that we need to see and we need to understand. we have an obligation and we need to abide. we should not put that in the hands of another third country. >> ok. thank you very much for joining us today and sharing your very personal perspective and contraction -- connection to the story. we will turn onto paris where a

policeman has been charged and remanded in custody following the killing of a 17-year-old boy. he was shot dead by an officer on tuesday. thousands of people have been marching through the street of this paris suburb to remember the teenager. [chanting] >> the march was led by his mother. she saluted the crowds from an open top truck. the boys killing during a traffic stop promoted violence in paris and other cities across france. riders of the french capitol clashed with police. on tuesday a video captured the police officer pointing his gun at the driver before pulling the trigger at point-blank range. he died shortly afterwards. the french government has announced that 40,000 police officers of weight across the country tonight. a crisis meeting with senior

ministers describe the violence over the past tonight as unjustifiable. >> the less the hours have been marked by scenes of violence against other stations, schools, town halls, and basically against all institutions in the republic. this is absolutely unjustifiable. i work -- i want to think all those who worked to protect this situation. for me, the next three hours must be a temporal regulation and respect. >> that's what president macron had to say. one of the people who attended was a neighbor of the family. he spoke about his memories of the 17-year-old. >> he is a young man. he's very kind. he's not evil or a hooligan. with the media are saying is not true. his mom raised him well.

his friend mother is not around the neighborhood. the young men must is for nothing. >> my colleague is in paris. she sends this update on the situation. >> this after an there was some violence here. this is think an office building and you can see the glass smashed out, the windows. some graffiti there. now this all happened after a march, a largely peaceful march took place here today, over 6000 people attended. people calling for justice for the 17-year-old who was shot by a police officer. now, we are expecting many people say more violence here tonight. that will be a third night of violence. the authorities say they deployed around 40,000 officers here in paris public transport is being shot down as well.

-- shut down as well. people are racing themselves for more unrest. people throughout the march that we spoke to said a deep-rooted problem in issue is the relationship between the police and people in these neighborhoods. many say the police officers who are there to protect them simply aren't doing that. that is why so many people took to the streets for that protest which i say was largely peaceful . it's also why people have been taking to the streets in violence. so we will see what happens through the course of the evening but there's a huge place -- police presence here. things have been beefed up in anticipation of more unrest. >> reporting from paris, we will keep an eye on the situation. investigators are examining parts of the wreckage of the submersible which imploded on its way down to the titanic rick

killing of five people on board. the u.s. coast guard revealed that what's about to be human rains -- remains have also been recovered. >> investigators will be carefully examining the wreckage so what do we know about what's been found? this is a full-size model of the titan. a significant fragment has been achieved the front end cap of the sub. if made from titanium. from the footage we can see the window is missing. we don't know if it's been recovered. concerns have been raised about whether this report could cope with the pressure 3800 meters down. at eng of the sub there is a titanium ring. the attached to the hall in the middle. both have been found. this could provide vital clues that are potentially weak points in the structure. this hull where the passengers

were is made of caon fiber. there are serious questions about the reliability of this material. it's not used by any other deep-sea sub. what covers the carbon fiber has been found. as part of the landing frame from underneath the sub, and other substantial pieces the equipment they which would've been covered by this. it contains the subs electronics and has suffered extensive damage. no one knows why the titanic imploded -- why the titan imploded that it hopes this wreckage will help establish what went wrong. >> the secret police unit in the u.k. which spied on more than 1000 political groups over 40 years should've been disbanded as far back as the 1970's had the public known about its activities. that's the conclusion of the senior judge heading the undercover policing inquiry in

his first interim report, he says most of those spied on 'd' state security or pose a risk of serious crime. june kelly reports. >> the vietnam war, one of the defining episodes of the 1960's protests led scotland yard to set up and under kroger police unit this special demonstrations put together and nation antiwar activists. soon, the sts and infiltrated schools of campaign groups. they should have been disbanded early on as the chair of the undercover policing environment. today, his words quoted by those targeted. >> the question is whether or not the end justifies the means. i have come to be from conclusion that for units of a police was, it did not. >> amongst those spied on was

the women's liberation movement. in a later cabinet minister. >> this is a national scandal. this report should be the final nail in the coffin of the metropolitan police. >> political and social change. plus it's acknowledged that officers should not have used their identities as part of their cover stories for had sexual relationships with activists. >> for the benefit of hindsight there should've been more work in relation to reviewing the formation that was being gathered. and mark care taken in relation to the groups that were being infiltrated. >> the undercover policing inquiry will examine the

divinities of the strikeouts it cades since the 60's and 70's area june kelly, bbc news. >> madonna has been discharged from the hospital after spending a number of days in intensive car. her manager said she picked up a serious bacterial infection but it's understood she's at home and feeling better. madonna's seven-month celebrations were was due to begin in two weeks time with gigs set cajoled -- scheduled around the world. around the world and across the u.k. this is bbc. we'll take a look now at some of the other stories that are making years in the u.k. area a record level in me prompting warnings from charities about the ongoing high cost of living there was 4.6 million pounds more withdrawn then paid into

that bank of england said that was the highest level seen since comparable records begin 26 years ago. she stories about whether scott unlocks resources to cope wh the covid-19 pandemic. evidence to the u.s. covid inquiry highlighted what she said is the key difference between the approaches on being scottish the u.k. government saying her government tried to suppress the virus is much as possible rather than deciding to live with that. customers will see any effect on bills access to water if the company collapses. the largest water from is in talks to secure extra funding as it struggles to paid. >> your live with bbc news, this is the context. >> the house of common committees accused some of ours johnson's allies.

the privileges committee highlighted comments by former ministers including jacob rees-mogg, some of forest johnson's supporters had attacks on the committee as a witchhunt in kangaroo court when they investigated where the boy was like. let's talk now with sam howell senior lecturer in politics, thanks for joining us. there's another report after the. this time pointing as accusing how cleais it whether this is contempt of parliament or is it something that mps will have to decide when the foot on this? your precisely right in the report does say that some of these actions could be considered to be a contempt of parliament. some of the actions that they

outline, particularly language such as kangaroo court and witchhunt and they don't go as far is saying this is their decision that it wasn't contempt what they say is it's up to parliament to make any decisions on the action that should be taken but they would like parliament to know that they've written today. expect the findings and then decide what to do with many of the mps. >> and what do you make of the defense? those who have been accused of put up with her for mr. jacob who has defended his action saying it was reasonable m to challenge the findings of the committee. mr. clark smith said he was shocked to be disappointed. is this about free speech? >> it's in so much about free speech. in the report itself, you know, the suggests a number of avenues

you can go. if you want to make the jitter meant criticism of an inquiry or a committee. there's a little difference here between legitimate critiques in the end of an is to go down. and actually impugning the actions of the inquiry and language like kangaroo court and witchhunt is very much in the latter the football analogy, poker looking at here is the difference between playing the ball and playing the player. the argument is that of course tackles a perfectly fine in a football game but you can go about the need and many of the actions of the mps certainly fall into that latter category. >> ok. and we've heard from the prime minister's spokesman created he didn't say if we can expect of folk from rishi sunak at this time. how important is this do you

think in terms of how parliament functions because the committee said one of the things they're worried about visit with discourage people from serving in this committee. >> what needs to happen and the importance of this is precisely in upholding the legitimacy of the mentee process. it's not the privileges committee itself or indeed any further inquiries but actually just committee system more broadly saying to have a vote and have a free vote is really important mainly around the president it will set. critiques, that should actually be fine but noto bring the whole process into disrepute. hopefully, the vote will be around those actions. and around just fleshing out that nuance. >> i do you think the vote will

actually go? >> i think there is a extent to which as you sit in your introduction there are a lot of people rishi sunak probably at the top of the list and it's sort of done with inquiries into the actions of restaurants so i imaginthe vote would be the vote, if there is one, will be not somewhat rushed through i imagine as we saw with the privileges committee many conservative mps will abstain because this is more good for them than it is the members of the opposition party. rishi sunak, perhaps stay away, conservative mps certainly need to stay away and for opposition mps to make while the sun shines. >> it will certainly be interesting to see how that goes and which way everyone votes if

they just send powell. stay with us here on the context touch more ahead including all the latest developments in the war between russia and ukraine. don't goway. this is the context. ♪ narrator: funding for this presentation of this program is provided by... narrator: financial services firm, raymond james. man: bdo. accountants and advisors. narrator: funding was also provided by, the freeman foundation. by judy and peter blum kovler foundation; pursuing solutions for america's neglected needs. and by contributions to this pbs station from viewers like you. thank you. ♪ ♪
