Summary
Today, the UK High Court ruled that the UK's plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda is lawful. Don't expect flights to Kigali filled with asylum seekers to take off tomorrow though; they'll be plenty of appeals and cases will need to be considered case by case.
And Jon and Lewis are joined by Suzanne Lynch, of POLITICO, and Nigel Gardner, formerly a European Commission spokesman. They talk Qatargate - the cash for access scandal rocking Brussels.

| 1:09.2 | that deportations theoretically can start to go ahead |

| 1:17.5 | reasons, it is more complicated than it might at first appear. Welcome to the news agents. |
