this amendment would probably clear the house of commons tonight and then go to the house of lords, and problems there because they are a large number appears unhappy with details of this, many who we want to make their own changes. if they succeed in doing that, it all gets brought back care to the house of commons, who probably overturn it and then it goes back again to the lords, and it would not be a quick process, and all the while we're getting closer to the general election, and all the while, all that money is being spent and of course, no plane has taken off to rwanda.— and of course, no plane has taken off to rwanda. thank you, vicki, are debited at a — off to rwanda. thank you, vicki, are debited at a -- _ off to rwanda. thank you, vicki, are debited at a -- deputy _ off to rwanda. thank you, vicki, are debited at a -- deputy political- debited at a —— deputy political editor, watching those votes and speaking to mps as they move through that part of the house of commons. you can still see on your screen those life pictures, those amendments are happening and you can see as w

it is one thing for— the house of commons later. s one thing for mps _ the house of commons later. it 3 one thing for mp5 to the house of commons later. it 3 one thing for mps to rebel and one thing for mp5 to rebel and amendments. they feel there is a theoretically better version of the bill. it is a different thing to the vote against the bill at third reading. no government has lost a bill at that stage since 1977. it would mean that the government has no political cover if that size to go to a general election. we have not seen much evidence that their mps rebelling are prepared to take that step. if they wanted that they should would have been clear from the beginning. most of them are leaving themselves room to back down. they may abstain, but i don't think they will vote against it. what are their concerns broadly about the bill? it's not that they disagree with the policy, is it? no but the main clutch of the amendments tabled are all aimed at toughening the bill.— toughening the bill. basically by reducin: toughening the bil

in the house of commons _ seeking asylum, to rwanda. st _ seeking asylum, to rwanda. in the house of commons last week, - seeking asylum, to rwanda. in the | house of commons last week, there was a series of crucial votes on the government's legislation which is designed to put that rwanda asylum policy on a stronger legal footing, because just a few months ago the supreme court said as it stands the policy is unlawful. that piece of legislation will now go to the house of lords where it arrives on monday, but as it happens, yesterday, the house of lords had a vote on a connected issue which is a treaty that the uk government signed with rwanda, all designed to beef up the legal protections for its asylum policy, and the house of lords voted last night, not to ratify that treaty. that is not a binding vote, the government can and i think will ignore it and will accuse the house of lords of frustrating the will of the elected house of commons, but it is a sign of some of the opposition, the scale of the opposition, that the scale of the o

if that is what most of them decide to do, then it will sail through the house of commons. ll be problems potentially in the house of lords but for today, that will be very good news for rishi sunak. there are talks still going on about this but as we know, what he is trying to do with this is to balance those two very different views in the conservative party. there are those who think he cannot go any further because you got to respect international law and lots of tory rebels who think this has got to work and the only wayjimmy could happen is to ignore some of those international laws.

having cleared the house of commons, the legislation will now go to the house of lords, where it's likelymore opposition. peter saull, bbc news. we expect to hear from the prime minister shortly, there will be a news conference at downing street around 10:15am and he is expected to speak and take questions from reporters. we will bring that to you when it happens. pakistan has confirmed it carried out missile strikes inside iran targeting militants of pakistani origin. earlier, iranian media reported that several missiles had hit a village on the iran—pakistan border — in the sistan—balochistan province. a number of people are reported to have been injured. it comes two days after iran conducted strikes inside pakistani territory — saying it was targeting anti—iran groups. pakistan's ministry of foreign affairs issused a statement about its military action inside iran. it says it used specifically targeted precision strikes, against pakistani terrorists, who have based themselves in ungoverned spaces inside iran. it says it had shared evidence of their activities — but no action was taken

but the house of commons on monday.g that fundamentally democratically, our elected representatives should have been asked first. it is the snp leader, humza yousaf. the uk, let's be honest about this, does not have a good track record when it comes to military intervention, particularly in the middle east. that is why the house of commons should have been recalled today ahead of military action that was taken in order to allow our mps to debate and, yes, to scrutinise the uk government's plans for military action. 0n on monday, we will get that statement from the prime minister but they— statement from the prime minister but they will not be a vote retrospectively on the action that has taken place last night. downing street also making it clear in the daily briefing two westminster journalists that this is, as far as they are concerned, the only air strikes they have planned. we will have to wait and see how the houthis respond to this, they have pledged a fulsome response if they were to respond in kind, that would b

said rwanda it was not safe, this says whatever anyone says, we wonder is safe as far as the house of commonser i think, is around the point the prime minister made, the will of the people. some members of the house of lords will say, hold on, this was not in the 2019 conservative manifesto. the rwanda plan was not there at all. when you talk about the well of the people, at what point have they had a chance to give their views on this? there have been opinion polls, but even those are pretty divisive. there is not really a clear dramatic big majority in favour of the rwanda plan. people seem sceptical and i think the house of lords is going to be sceptical too. even after that, evenif be sceptical too. even after that, even if they house of lords as i expect they will at some point, it has to come back, and because we had a supreme court ruling, they will inevitably be legal challenges. there will be challenges which will probably end up in the supreme court. a process that in the first iteration of this attempt to push through the rwanda policy took months and months. that is why it is hard

debate is just getting debate isjust getting under way in the house of commons right now about the housecommons right now about the final stages of the legislation. we will get much more on that from our chief political correspondent henry zeffman in a moment. but first, here's damian grammaticas. yesterday saw the biggest rebellion of his prime ministership. today, more tory divisions could be on show. all in a policy rishi sunak has put at the heart of his agenda. a tempting target for an opposition leader. it a tempting target for an opposition leader. , . . . , , leader. it is a farce. only this government _ leader. it is a farce. only this government could _ leader. it is a farce. only this government could waste - leader. it is a farce. only this - government could waste hundreds of millions of pounds on a removals policy that doesn't remove anyone. only this government could claim that it only this government could claim thatitis only this government could claim that it is going to get flights off the ground, only to discover that they could not find a plane. we have worked throug

but there will be so many questions, comes the house of commons hearing on monday. at is always asked in instances like this, will the action make things better or worse? ok, chris, thank you, chris mason, our political editor. let's get a final word from jeremy. the americans at least are saying this is nothing to do with gaza, with the conflict between israel and hamas, but others beg to differ. that is america's truth on this one. i think the evidence shows very clearly that this is directly linked to gaza and the houthis who are carrying out the attacks say that is why they are doing them and they say clearly as well that if there was a ceasefire, they would stop. they may not be telling the truth about that but that is what they are saying at the moment so that is one direct link. and the other thing is, it is not really for the americans or british to say whether or not this will be limited. now they have gone down the road using military action, what happens next? what if the houthis answer with a load of rockets that might hit a merchant ship or one of the na

we are| heading to the final stage of the bill in the house of commons before it goes to the house ofy and today is trying to amend or to change this bill. that has involved a large number of conservative mps, a large number of conservative mp5, 60 yesterday, backing amendments and try to get it changed and going against the government's well. they have not succeeded. some are still trying to do that right now. then we will get to that final stage. the third reading. the government pretty confident that a lot of those rebels will now swing behind the bill because, really, if they don't then it kills the thing altogether. let's speak to robin miller a conservative mp who yesterday, you were one of the rebels yesterday and you did not succeed but there were a lot of you who were unhappy about it, tell me broadly why you are in happy with the detail of this bill because you agree with the principle of it. i do in that is an _ agree with the principle of it. i do in that is an important point to make — in that is an important point to make it — in that is an important point to make it tha

house of| second reading in the house of lords. we have already had the various different stages in the house of commons, it wasn't entirely plain sailingere were around 60 conservative mps who try to make various changes to it, they ultimately failed in their efforts. and it went through with a pretty small rebellion in the end from right wing tory mps. now it is going to the lords where the bill is expected to face much more opposition. probably not in the vote today, though. they will be a couple of votes. the first on the fatal motion put forward by the liberal democrats. effectively, the clue is in the title, it would deal a fatal blow to the bill, it talks about why they should not vote for this bill because it places the uk at risk of breaching international law, the substantial cost to the taxpayer, fails to provide safe and legal routes to refugees. the labour party is not going to back that liberal democrat motion so that will probably fail. as tends to be the convention when we get second reading the house of lords, they go along with what the elected chamber has decided and they will probably allow it through. that is not to

this is live right in the house of right now in the house of commons. so we are just moments away from finding out the result of this crucial voting on the rwanda bill. it is, of course, a pivotal moment for the prime minister who has promised the british public that he will do whatever it takes to stop the boats ahead of a general this general election later this yeah general election later this year. knows that year. rishi sunak knows that getting immigration getting illegal immigration under control the under control could be the difference . okay, it could make difference. okay, it could make all the difference for him. he could steer the conservative cause. well, frankly, it's the only hope they've it, only hope they've got, isn't it, towards unlikely in towards an unlikely victory in the push back and the polls. but but push back and push back and push back from the right party, the right of the party, the so—called five families, which evaporate and evaporate into about two and a half families, which potentially tonight have genuinely evaporated

what the british government would say in response to what the minister said in the house of commons ist's not a bilateral recognition of a palestinian state by the british government. what this is a project to say, look, is there some way that a palestinian state could be sketched out or fleshed out earlier to give palestinians something to aim for instead of following the route of violence, and that's what he's trying to do but it will ruffled feathers and i don't think it's gone down well in israel and as far as i know there's been no formal response and i've asked for one but i haven't got anything yet. the foreign secretary is beginning his fourth visit to the middle east since he was appointed, so tell us where he is going on what he hopes to achieve? it’s where he is going on what he hopes to achieve?— to achieve? it's his fourth trip, and he is _ to achieve? it's his fourth trip, and he is in — to achieve? it's his fourth trip, and he is in oman, _ to achieve? it's his fourth trip, and he is in oman, a - to achieve? it's his fourth trip, and he is in oman, a crucial. to achieve?

they are united in that they eventually managed to get it through the third reading in the house of commonss but the party is divided on this question, on the one hand you have mps who worry that the whole rwanda scheme is going too far, and poses fundamental questions about the uk's existing legal commitments and on the other hand you have the rebels who do not think the bill as drafted will be effective and there is a huge political dangerfor the government as one of the problem of not solving the small boats. it is a very complex issue and no party, the conservatives and labour, the former are struggling with the issue and labour do not have a solution either, so it is divisive and it poses questions about the state of the uk's international commitments and those divisions are going to continue to play out for the rest of this parliament and over the next ten years or so i suspect. i want to stay in the uk. a senior union official has warned that staff at the uk's biggest steelworks company are braced for bad news on job losses. tata steel officials will meet with union representatives o

don't forget it's committee the whole it's a committee of the whole house of commons. considered behind closed doors by about 12 mps or so, not the entire house of commons. that's why it's less predictable . all votes will commons. that's why it's less predi at ble . all votes will commons. that's why it's less predi at around l votes will commons. that's why it's less predi at around 653.3s will commons. that's why it's less predi at around 653. i'veill commons. that's why it's less predi at around 653. i've been start at around 653. i've been told by various senior commons figures the vote on the third reading, so if these amendments fail and of course , there are fail and of course, there are amendments put forward by robert jenrick to disapply elements of the human rights act in the case of migrants being taken back to rwanda , there's a there's rwanda, there's a there's a there's also amendments to try and enshrine in law that the commitment we have from mr sunak, the prime minister, to gb news on monday that ministers would overrule the so—called rule 39 pyjama in

that's why for instance, constitutionally, if it comes, push comes to shove, the house of commons canthe bishops tend not to vote against the government. they'll vote in the first round to register the their opinion. the registered their the registered opinion of their congregation, is congregation, which actually is a large group of a very large group of individuals , you bigger individuals, you know, bigger than constituencies, as it than most constituencies, as it were. than one were. so maybe bigger than one mp. being , the idea mp. the point being, the idea that a group people who that it's a group of people who have what they're doing have no idea what they're doing and just playing party and they're just playing party politics, so far politics, is actually so far from it's from the truth. it's unbelievable . again, i want to unbelievable. again, i want to go the fact that the go back to the fact that the house lords sees itself as house of lords sees itself as a place that is to scrutinise and refine and test laws and refine laws and test laws and that's what's going on. i sat

house of lords will members of the house of lords bring back some of these amendments that the house of commonswell , house of commons voted on? >> well, we'll have to wait and see. but the overall picture is one of disunity, isn't it? and a plan mired in problems. and the thing is to have the public have large sections of the public just stopped listening because there's this really damning yougov poll out today, which gives labour . a whopping 27% gives labour. a whopping 27% lead. this is a lead that they haven't had over the conservatives since the darkest days of the chaos under liz truss. and interestingly to reform and now polling on 12% now they've been creeping up very, very steadily . they're now very, very steadily. they're now in third place. um, with the lib dems below them. and obviously the greens, they feel that they've got the momentum. they feel that millions of people have just given up on the conservatives that they've heard this. we're going stop the this. we're going to stop the boats on and on and on. boats going on and on and on. the numbers down, but not the numbers are

that is why the house of commons should have been recalled today ahead of military action that was takenilitary action. so, we will wait and see what actually happens on the ground. that statement is due from the prime minister on monday afternoon and i suppose that rishi sunak will look at the experience of one have his predecessors in david cameron, now lord cameron, foreign secretary appointed by rishi sunakjust a few months ago who famously lost a vote in 2013 about air strikes in syria and that might be one of the reasons why rishi sunak is reluctant to put it to a vote in the house of commons. certainly it looks like evenif commons. certainly it looks like even if there were to be further air strikes with british military personnel involved, it wouldn't be put to a boat. of course, what they don't want to do is give any kind of pre—warning to the houthis so that they can respond. —— put to a vote. thank you very much, peter, with a lot of the political reaction there and we will get some of the economic reaction and the costs of these attacks on shipping in the red sea in a moment.
