u. k. is connected to politics. you may not agree here, maria, but have a listen and then bounce off the back with your thoughts. his mckaden this strikes me is a really cynical deal and i imagine has been prompted by the fear that the conservatives are not going to do that well and the may 5 elections. and so being seen to be tough on immigration is always good caught play a, it's possibly not a legal agreement. it's certainly not a moral one. and that's prompted for me by the awareness that we're one does really the worst place you could choose to do. this is not just a densely populated really poor african country that has a refugee problem of its own. is also a place where the government has a terrible track record on repression. in terms of the way it deals with human rights activists, journalists, and opposition leaders who are relentlessly attract silence and jail. this is not a good place to choose. mikaela may well think that this is politically expedient, but maya, you know, that thi

u. k. is choosing to, to follow this path and to have followed in australia, footsteps in a model that is, that has been effective in breaking the people smuggling trade to australia and at the end of the day does nothing but cause more human suffering. and just to comment on the back of what dr. franco saying, i think it's really important in this context to separate out development tied and migration control. so i think that countries like the u. k can be giving development a foreign aid and investing in a country such rwanda at this shouldn't be time for us to, you know, wash our hands of asylum seekers and incentivized countries like rwanda to take on our style and responsibilities for us. it is simply us externalizing our style and responsibilities. and at the end of the day, regardless of the financial benefits, it is very likely to be a breach of the u. k. obligations and will cause much more home and good. so we don't know that. but on the u. k. home office below the you, k home office

u. k. is there to help what one ukrainian hoping that will be exactly the case? his, the wife of the countries detained opposition leader given that johnson apparently has zalinski, is if she wants to british p. m. to pressure the president, to swap the captured british mercenaries for her husband. victor at medford joke was arrested by ukrainian security services. he played a key role in negotiations between ukraine, russia and the people's republic of dynette can le ganske his wife claims the rest was completely against the law and was done to suppress dissenting voices in the country. danica prime minister tongue. i'm a telemachus guy of their physician, the addition of a day of your grand individual. i appeal to you for help in exchange in my husband, who was england that then but keith, a purchase for political reasons and south inches, asians for citizens of your county. i had an ethan and some pina. hello, a family and friends, written item and song held me based on victor. prime minister johnson is staying tight lips. not a word about the british mercenari

u. k. the mistakes of the past i felt deeply the situation is critical. the u. k has not had such problems since the energy crisis of the 19 seventy's. this really is a historic shock to real incomes. the shock from energy prices this year will be larger than every single year in the 19 seventy's. so what happened in the seventy's? the 1973 arab israeli war prompted an oil embargo by opec that led to a fuel shortage and resulted in global recession. the world suddenly realized just how dependent it was on the middle east and opec for its oil. britney, suffering chronic inflation, and rising prices. very similar to current inflation rates. they calls spade limits lines at petrol stations. i remember joining long queues to my local petrol station, ron or pinkerton, and being limited to a gallon or to a 4 star wellstar country was plunged into crisis. a few observes were saying that the answer to high prices is always high prices. and so it proved consumption was carved in the night to seventy's and supply grew dramatically back. then the government even urged citiz

u. k. is doing is basically not ethical and does not help solve the problem. it will make it worse, actually not within u. s interests. that's how the white house has reiterated that joe biden does not plan to send american troops to ukraine, to quote, fight a war with russia. but the u. s. intends to continue to provide ukraine with military aid despite moscow's warnings. against that, the white house statement came in response to a suggestion by a high ranking democrat that the u. s. must act against russia to prevent ukraine from devolving into the next syria. i deeply worried that what's going to happen next is that we will see ukraine turn into syria. the american people cannot turn away from this tragedy in ukraine. i think the history of the 21st century turns on how fiercely we defend freedom in ukraine, and that putin will only stop when we stop him. the world knows that the situation in syria is largely the fault of the united states since 2011. the united states has been meddling in syria, trying to expand and expand discontent in the country and ult

let's take a closer look at that now and the british virgin islands is a u. k. overseas territory in the caribbean. that's been autonomy since 1967. the premium is the head of the elected government there. but there's also a governor appointed by the u. k. who has some oversight over public officials, long before fridays arrest they were concerns about state corruption. a race and inquiry found governance in the territory was appallingly bad. it recommended a temporary return to direct will by london. the british virgin islands also has a long history as a tax haven. more than half the shell companies revealed in the document lake known as the panama pipe is what base thing. so in your gay go, is in london has mall on that report. the report really has been casting doubts to put it mildly on how exactly that territory has been governing itself. for example, the lead on the report form a judge gary hakan bottom has been saying that in the report that really the level of corruption that is, is too big and it needs to be tackled directly from london. it has been v

by boat or in the back of laurie's is for the u. k. government to provide safety rates. as my fellow panelists have already said, there is a severe lack of se fruits in the u. k. school people to come here to seek asylum. reunify with their family. so an agreement like this, any strategy that is built on restrictive ness on deterrence will not work because people will take these desperate journeys. so we said that the schemes that the government has set up for ukrainians for us gets there are thousands of ukrainian still waiting to re unify with their family to get here. afghans who worked with the u. k. government who were trapped still in afghanistan, their family members attracted at risk, and we've seen them making the dangerous crossings across the channel because there are no safe routes. and natalie, there's a lot of research out there, including some of your own research that says that to australia, offshore scheme broke international law that it was in humane. as you said before, there was hugely expensive. has that swayed public opinion and australia at all. so

u. k. the u. k. government, when i ship them to do rwanda for their refugee cases, to be processed in rwanda is absolutely unthinkable. ah. all right, let's bring in our panel all joining us from the u. k. in london. my a good fellow on academic at the university of sheffield and author of hostile environment. how immigrants became scapegoats in nottingham, natalie hudson, assistant professor in law at the university of nottingham who has done extensive research on australia's refugee policies. and in cambridge, emily mcdonnell u. k. advocacy and communications coordinator at human rights watch a warm welcome to you all. and thanks so much for joining us today on the program. emily, let me start with you today. the british government says that this new plan complies with international legal obligations that they have. what do you say is this new plan with rwanda, legal and beyond that, would it actually deter migration by boat? the agreement to relocate asylum se? cuz arriving irregularly to rwanda is essentially the case shacking its responsibilities under the refugee convention to paper taking a tyler.

u. k. is clearly offering ukraine far more than just emotional support. so british special forces have their boots family on the ground in ukraine, despite none other than boris johnson himself. previously warning, most remembers of the so called lads all me, that they could be breaking british law by going over to join the wall. i can understand why people feel as they do, but we have laws in our country about international conflicts and how they must be conducted. but it seems the words of the p. m. once enough to tear those brits determined to fight as russia has detained. 2 british citizens, they were captured while trying to flee a steel factory, mary opal, where according to the russian defense ministry, some 400 foreign mercenaries have been fighting. hayden, ashton and sean pena were both detained after joining the ukrainian army on sean pena. i'm a citizen of the u. k. r. i was captured in barrier full. i was fortunate of area code 446 weeks now. armand tenants, people's republic, a cooper this year. we were in the factory merkel in early i was a

this is not the 1st attempt of the u. k. government and did their negotiation with albania and ghana and previously felt. and so what, what we know from the information that's that as linked so far, is that and you know, iceland secret will be sent to wonder where the asam could will be process. and only male, iceland seeker friendly would be considered by this measures. and he would apply to several 1000 people, but it is not clear yet at, you know, if one die as agreed on a figure to people who would be sender and maybe just one last coins. you know, this basically commoner bill that is currently being discussing the u. k. claimant and that's as raised a lot of unit tension between different n p. so this is also a conditional to the adoption of such as such luck on the u. k is not the 1st country to not this kind of panel to attempt it is, is a trend of of souls. yeah, absolutely. but they've been mentioned done. mark us tried to, i mean as a doctor, similar legislation but fell so hard to find a country that would expect

u. k. is doing is basically not ethical and does not help solve the problem. it will make it worse. actually vladimir putin says russia has endured the western latest economic onslaught with the rubles strengthening back to its pre conflict levels. despite the sanctions, the russian liter pointed out that such measures have actually backfired against the us and the e. u, as regular people struggle to cope with skyrocketing costs. but i sure will not do . the aim of the western countries was to quickly destabilized the financial and economic situation in russia to provoke panic on the markets to make the banking system collapse and to create a massive shortage of goods in our stores. but we can now confidently say that this policy has not worked. the strategy of economic blitzkrieg has failed. furthermore, the sanctions have now swung back to hit the initiators themselves. i mean, the inflation unemployment rates, the plummeting economic dynamics in the u. s. and in europe, leading to a decrease of their living standards de valuation and so on. russia has withstood this unprecedented
