k and rwanda set? well, indeed, this very worrying precedent. the waves pronounced also repeatedly on this issue. these types of arrangements, they undermine the whole principle of refugee protection of responsibility sharing . we're living in a well today where it's actually the countries that some of the most under resource, they are in fact already the ones that are taking on the disproportionate learn. very appreciate responsibilities that they're in fact before that the current situation with the ukraine war in the refugee displacement that we've seen from not checklist situation. countries in the global south, her stood about 85 percent of the world's refugees. now these countries are filling their obligations, protecting refugees. when you have countries that are more well resourced and that have the capacities to purchase asylum claim center receiver. if they are shaking their obligations, what kind of message does that send should be showing? or it's warring from a legal perspective, but also from an ethical and moral suspect. this well

"euro court grounds jet to rwanda."clear on that distinction between eu courts and european courts, callum? yes, as well as the fact of the human rights, the uk has willingly come up to this point at least, signed up to that, the we are a part of that, that was a choice made by the government, the one that could be put into a new spotlight as a result of what's been happening this evening, and certainly something borisjohnson opened the door to earlier on today. and i think that's where the conversation will now shift. you are right to highlight the picture on the front of the daily mail because there's two things to pick out of there, both the picture itself which is stark and worrying, but also the timeline they present — 10:05pm the uk's trade is scuppered by meddling judges. that is how this has been framed by the government, the whole idea of deporting migrant asylum—seekers, people to rwanda is to deter people traffickers. the fact of the matter is more people have crossed the channel this year than last year, 10,

a. rwanda, which was that makes it more difficult to challenge legally. and so in that memorandum of understanding there are points that mentioned that rwanda will be able to send people onwards. so and people who are, are not, and didn't, did not receive a positive decision after and assigning prices in rwanda may be sent back to their and countries or to other countries. so there's the risk of course of reform, all that they would be sent back to their countries where they faced persecution. as i said earlier, the vast majority of those arriving currently in the u. k. across the channel are people in need of international protection, according to the u. k. cause. so there is as a strong risk there, that if somebody gets a negative decision in an asylum system which is are under construction, let's say that they're sent and, and refilled. and the other question is this part of the agreement that potentially allows them to be sent somewhere else? so is there a risk that they're then sent to another country that's cooperating with rwanda and where they may

borisjohnson�*s rwanda plan to cut immigration grounded for now.flight was originally meant to take over 100 asylum seekers to rwanda, thenjust a handful, when finally all passengers were removed following a series of legal challenges. it's particularly galling for the government, coming on the day more than 300 people arrived in dover after attempting to cross the channel in small boats. the exact journey this policy is meant to deter. britain's partner in this, the rwandan government, remains on board. we are undeterred. we are committed to this partnership and we stand ready to welcome the migrants when they do arrive in rwanda. and so we will wait to see what happens, but on our part we are ready to receive the migrants. the european court of human rights, which is separate to the european union, and to which the uk is a signatory, has the final say in human rights issues. it ruled asylum applicants would face a real risk of irreversible harm in rwanda, contradicting a ruling byjudges in london. one asylum seeker spoke of his fear of deportatio

the british government insists rwanda is a safe country.nce house wouldn't comment on supposedly anonymous private conversations except to restate that the prince of wales remains politically neutral and matters of policy for government. but it has proved controversial. the archbishop of canterbury said it would not stand the judgment of god, and the un said it would be illegal. but the mp for dover told me that despite the criticism, the government is doing the right thing. what you make of the comments apparently made by prince charles? he is entitled to his view, as is anyone else, but a number of comments made on rwanda seem to be on the basis of a lack of information about what this programme and the experience has been like in rwanda. the home secretary herself travelled to rwanda in april to announce the plan. campaigners failed in an initial legal bid to ground to ground the first flight yesterday, but they will seek a full judicial review next month. we very much welcome what prince charles seems to have said. this policy is wrong.

they have had civil servants out in rwanda.a good deal of information and reports about rwanda and they have given assurances. backed up by the rwandan government, that actually, there is no risk in rwanda. there is no risk to people human rights and that is what the judge found yesterday having looked at the evidence from both sides. this is not over yet, by a long straw, but it is designed to try and find somewhere to return people to who don't qualify to stay in this country but haven't really got anywhere else to send them to. that is another point, isn't it? the vast expanse of this programme. it is costing tens and tens of millions of pounds. 0ne estimate suggested it could end up, the british government spending about £1 million per asylum seeker flying them to rwanda because of the huge price that the british government is paying to the rwandan authorities for the scheme. yes. government is paying to the rwandan authorities for the scheme.— authorities for the scheme. yes, but on the other— authorities for the scheme. y

. >> why rwanda? >> the british government has an agreement with rwanda, and rwanda has agreed to do this. obviously, they are receiving money for it, and a spokeswoman for the rwandan government has said that rwanda wants to show that african countries can also be part of the solution and that they are presenting a safe and welcoming environment for asum-seekers. however,he -- the human rights watch, the human rigs ngo, has criticized that saying that, for example, critics of the government and journalists are being thrown in jail and being silenced and that the rwandan government needs to look into the treatment and abuse of these political prisoners, so it is a controversial choice to bring people to rwanda. >> many thanks. greatly appreciated. asylum-seekers already living there paint a bleak picture of what awaits the new arrivals. >> a transit center in rwanda. these refugees tried treach europe but did not succeed. many of them ended up spending years in attention centers in libya before being

the united nations has used rwanda for several years...el has consistently claimed her deal with rwanda is lawful, under the refugee convention. this agreement is comparable with all our domestic and international legal obligations. but in court today, a barrister for the un told thejudge: not notjust once, but on numerous occasions, it was claimed. after the deal was signed in kigali in april, the un had two meetings with priti patel and told her the arrangement broke international law. the government's legal team, however, interprets the convention differently, noting that more than 10,000 asylum seekers have risked their lives crossing the channel in small boats already this year, and arguing there is a significant public interest in a policy that will deter people from making those journeys and undermine the activities of criminal people smugglers. around 100 asylum seekers are now in immigration detention, threatened with deportation to rwanda. in brook house near gatwick, some have been on hunger strike. 0ne syrian spoke to the bbc.
