the uk.t this is a deterrent, that his policy is making people not want to stay in the uk is something very much to be welcomed. but the idea of it. he certainly isn't particularly upset to be hearing the irish government making his case for him, essentially, the idea that the policy is working. but today there was one meeting that went ahead. there was also supposed to be another meeting between the irish justice to be another meeting between the irishjustice minister and the home secretary, james cleverly. that meeting was postponed. the uk government says that was because of a diary clash, but the decision was taken after the irishjustice minister had announced that the country would be pursuing emergency legislation and trying to send the arrivals back. both sides have denied that there is a row developing here, but we understand from the uk perspective that there was perhaps some unease at the idea that this announcement had been made in the media less than one working day ahead of the m

in the uk.they must be removed to a third country. that is the underlying law we have as ofjuly 23. the problem for the government was that only one country in the world was going to accept asylum seekers to allow them into their country, to process them, to ask are they a refugee or not a refugee, and if they are not a refugee, to send them back to the country they came from and if they are to stay in that country and the only country in the world that would allow that right now is rwanda. in november december last year the uk supreme court says taking this route and removing them to rwanda is unlawful, not because sending someone to a third country of unlawful, it is not, but because rwanda is not a safe country. they listen to the evidence of experts, especially the united nations that has been working with refugees in rwanda for a few decades and said right now it is not a safe country. the law we saw past quite dramatically and in the very late hours last night said rwanda is and must alway

is this legislative change at the uk which will see people taken not to the uk to rwanda, to apply foro the uk, is that working as a deterrent? it does not seem to be changing the thoughts of people in the camps here about whether they want to get to the uk. lots of drawers, family members, they speak english better than other languages, they believe they will be able to find work and provide forfamilies back they will be able to find work and provide for families back home they will be able to find work and provide forfamilies back home —— lots of draws. in some cases they believe the british system is fair. they do not seem to be deterred, perhaps because some have made very long journeys to get here, across europe, perhaps through turkey or the mediterranean. we have spoken to people from eritrea which is one country away from rwanda, if they wanted to go that they could go very easily but they have come here instead, which suggests that, for now, the boats are not stopping. . now, the boats are not stopping. , in calais, thank you. henry zeffman. a hugely significant moment for the

the question this evening is, is the uk complicit in the gaza genocide? well, as the old joke goes, is the pope, catholic, do bears. ificate in the woods, the united kingdom's not just complicit in the current genocide going on in the gaza strip, it is complicit in the entire genocidal story of more than 75 years of the calvary of the palestinian people. i sit in the british parliament, where in the very chamber i sit in, in the very room that i'm... in every day the palestinian disaster, nakba catastrophe was authored when the prime minister of britain on behalf of one people promised to the zionist federation on behalf of second people, the land that belonged to a third people. none of the three people concerned were of course consulted, and after that balford declaration, more than 100 years ago, we began the descent down the bloody staircase which led us to this disaster today. now breaking news, the united nations security council has called for a ceastfire for the month of ramadan. they hope that it will become a lasting ceesfire, but even a lasting
