UK PM seeks new treaty with Rwanda

The United Kingdom's Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has said he will introduce emergency legislation, so he can press ahead with plans to send some asylum-seekers to Rwanda.

In response to the policy being ruled unlawful by the Supreme Court on Wednesday, Sunak said his government is now working on a new treaty with Rwanda.

The Supreme Court justices ruled that there were "substantial grounds" to suspect that individuals deported to Rwanda could subsequently be transferred by the Rwandan government to locations posing safety risks.
