Has climbed from 297 in 2018 to almost 29,000 last year. this year has already seen 4,578 arrivals and looks set to be a new record. rwandas human rights record is one concern refugee groups have. the prime minister said he expected a legal challenge and that the plans will not be put in place overnight. but desperate to deal with channel crossings with limited options at hand, ministers hope a pledge to send people away will prove to be a deterrent. jonathan blake, bbc news, westminster. earlie...
