One Plane Lands in Rwanda: James Cleverly's Treaty Plan

One Plane Lands in Rwanda: James Cleverly's Treaty Plan

By Bloomberg

Rishi Sunak has promised his government will start flying asylum seekers to Rwanda to be processed before the next election. But the only UK government plane landing there today was carrying the Home Secretary James Cleverly, who's trying to salvage the plan. Our East Africa Correspondent Ondiro Oganga is following the trip from Kigali.

Before he left, Cleverly announced sweeping changes to visa requirements for people trying to legally move to the UK. Ben Brindle from the University of Oxford's Migration Observatory discusses the significance of the changes.

Plus: a company in hot water. Bloomberg's Jess Shankleman explains how a flood of concerns over Thames Water is soaking up attention in Westminster. Hosted by Lizzy Burden and Yuan Potts.
