Summary

Katy Balls hosts the highlights from Sunday morning’s political shows. The Home Secretary Suella Braverman stands by her Rwanda immigration policy despite evidence refugees were shot by police there in 2018. Business representatives Minette Batters and Murray Lambell argue immigration needs to go up, not down. Braverman and Labour’s Lisa Nandy clash over who is to blame for a lack of action over child sexual exploitation. And Skype co-founder Jaan Tallinn suggests AI might represent an existential threat to humanity.

Produced by Joe Bedell-Brill and Cindy Yu.

0:55.3	suggested Rwanda might not be a safe destination. If they are sent from this country to Rwanda,
1:01.8	what would happen to them once they are there? Is it safe to send refugees to Rwanda from Britain?
1:08.4	You sound like you are completely convinced of that. I am convinced that it is safe to send
