the former senior cabinet minister damian green says that if a government tries to override constraints that if the house of lords tries to stop an emergency law from overriding the courts then rishi sunak should call an immediate election. the rwanda immigration policy was supposed to deter people crossing the english channel in small boats. but migrants living in camps in france say, the plan has made no difference to their aims of reaching the uk. 0ur correspondent sofia bettiza went to dunkirk, to talk to those hoping to make the journey. 0ur correspondent sofia bettiza went to dunkirk, to talk to those hoping to make the journey. in calais and dunkirk, volunteers prepare a hot meal, and bring it here — the largest camp for migrants in northern france. for many of them, this will be their only meal of the day. the hours drag here. every day, they wait, hoping for good weather so they can cross the english channel. and how will you get to the uk? by boat. nothing anything else. we don't have any other way. we all know about the danger, risk. we know about everything, but we must go t

now, damian green , a former deputy prime green, a former deputy prime minister under theresa may, a in the party, has hit back at what suella braverman has said, essentially saying that circumnavigation one's way around the law is something that putin or xie jinping would do. and i've actually spoken to some tories who are far to the right of who are far more to the right of the who with damian the party who agree with damian green. say that the problem green. they say that the problem with sort of arguing your way around laws of disapplying laws when you want to is that it's all very well when it's your people in charge. but what if under a labour and snp coalition, the government decided to find a way around the supreme court law for ordering against a second scottish referendum? so there are real dangers with trying to get one's way around the law. it'll be interesting to see how much support . suella braverman to the support. suella braverman to the emergency legislation that rishi sunakis emergency legislation that rishi sunak is going to be tabling next week. and it's quite po

the that certainly moderate tories in the one nafion moderate tories in the one nation group like damian greent he's doing . and are against what he's doing. and the reason for that is as the former supreme court court judge lord sumption says , that you can lord sumption says, that you can certainly change the law . what certainly change the law. what you can't do is change the facts. rishi sunak wants to do this legislation is simply change the fact . change the fact. >> yeah, well, nigel, do you think then a lot of tory, especially those who are supportive of suella braverman, are saying, look, until we leave the echr actually this is all a redundant conversation because actually it's human rights legislation that will ensure that the rwanda plan could neven that the rwanda plan could never, ever get off the ground , never, ever get off the ground, so to speak. yes i mean, certainly it is on human rights grounds that has caused the problem. >> the difficulty is, i mean, if you if you talk about leaving the european court of human rights, that means we are abandoning our international obliga
