well steve simon jake, who's the ceo of the w to tour w tho, ha. i have a lot of respect for.hink he went out on a limb when let's be honest, most most other sports organizations wouldn't do it. the nba wouldn't do it and big companies don't do it. i mean, look at all the business we do with china. so at the end of the day, i think it was really the only move that w could make. i think when they do go back there. they will have the ability for their players to speak out to make at least attempt to make this an issue. now the men's store, the atp tour, never stepped up. they never joined in with the w t a, which i had hoped that they would do throughout this process . so while it was a little bit of a hit in the gut to me as a tennis person, and as someone who was so proud of what the w to did when i heard this news, jake you have to realize. is it so much about china? or is it really about what we all know it's about? it's about money in a human rights watch, released a statement on the decision, saying quote the road to expose the chinese government's human rights abuses and

we're gonna talk about these difficulties with steve valdez simon's a, he is the refugee in migrant rights program director at amnesty international u. k. one of the groups as spoken out about this against this, you're joining us from london. steve. have you ever heard of anything quite like this before? and sad to say i have a very long time ago. something broadly similar was done by the british government and indeed other european governments have done things like this, although not quite in the same context. and what's very important to understand and what makes this a pulling decision even more atrocious. is that the reason the u. k. is currently experiencing an enormous backlog and it's asylum system is for one single reason. the government has decided to start processing people's claims. and what it is meant is that as people end to the asylum system, the backlog has to get. ringback bigger because nobody is leaving it. they've wrecked this system. and indeed the legislation that the prime minister refers to is purposefully intended to make this worse away. okay, hold on. educate us

well, steve valdez simons is the refugee and migrant rights program director at amnesty international u. k. and he says, an inefficient asylum system has led to major backlogs in costs a very long time ago. something broadly similar was done by the british government and indeed other european governments have done things like this. although not quite in the same context. and what's very important to understand what makes this a pulling decision even more atrocious, is that the reason the u. k is currently experiencing an enormous backlog and it's asylum system is for one single reason. the government has decided to stop processing people's claims. what it is meant is that as people entered the asylum system, the back block has to get bigger because nobody is leaving it. they've read this system. and of course now there are more and more people stuck in limbo. and the cost of that gets bigger. but the u. k doesn't see very many people seeking asylum compared to most of the european countries, let alone countries elsewhere in the world. and it could perfectly well deal with its system a
