to vote and then flew back to dubai to vote and then flew back to dubai to speak at the end of the summit. that is how worried the government was yesterday. in the end, they actually won by a fairly comfortable majority. but at what price?, that is the key question today. some of those conservatives who might have rebelled think that rishi sunak and his team might be willing to entertain concessions, toughen up the legislation and we heard on the bbc earlier from james cleverly, the home secretary about that. the bbc earlier from james cleverly, the home secretary about that.- home secretary about that. the bill has not to home secretary about that. the bill has got to work. _ home secretary about that. the bill has got to work. it's _ home secretary about that. the bill has got to work. it's got _ home secretary about that. the bill has got to work. it's got to - home secretary about that. the bill has got to work. it's got to be - has got to work. it's got to be legally— has got to work. it's got to be legally robust, it's got to have legitimate legal arguments underpinning it. it has got to be effective, in that it's got to get flights to rwanda and it has got to be acceptable to our rwandan partners. those are the parameters through which any amendments need to be seen. if people are putting forward good faith amendments in an attempt to improve the bill, make it stronger, what is already an incredibly tough bill, the toughest bill we have taken forward through the house on immigration, of course we will listen to them, but what we are also going to do is defend this against attempts to undermine it, like we saw from the labour party last night. henry, what does this ongoing fracture in the party mean for the leadership of the prime minister as he heads towards a general election possibly in the next 12 months or so? i think it makes it harderfor him to assert his authority over a party which, as we have seen for years now, just has an insatiable appetite for controversy, for drama, for splits, for fractures. that's true right back to david cameron and certainly true under theresa may. four years ago yesterday, boris johnson won a landslide majority which was meant to snuff all of that out. that was meant to give him the authority to govern for years to come in whatever way he wished. that is not quite how it turned out. then there was liz truss, turfed out by conservative mps within six weeks and now rishi sunak grappling with splits all over again. i think a lot of conservative mps fear that whatever issue it may be at any given time, and obviously it was immigration and asylum yesterday and will be again in the ney year, but fear that on whatever issue you just have now a small group, sometimes actually a fairly large group of conservative mps, who don't trust the leadership of the prime minister, who don't trust his decisions. in the words of one minister, that makes the conservative party ungovernable. but for rishi sunak, that is just unbelievably frustrating because he's trying to do something unprecedented, which is win, any party, in his case, the conservative party, a fifth consecutive term in government and that is hard at any time. especially hard when his party appears to be divided on fairly fundamental questions. a little earlier on i spoke to hannah white, director at independent think tank the institute for government. i asked her how the rwanda legislation would progress to come become law. the bill has been introduced in the house of commons, had its second reading, which means the house of commons has agreed in principle to pass this legislation. next what will happen in the new year is we will happen in the new year is we will go into the more detailed stages where it is possible for specific changes to the bill to be proposed. he's got to see whether he can offer something to those who are unhappy that the bill isn't strong enough, while while not upsetting those who fear it is already too strong, it needs to go through those stages in the house of commons and then of course it has to go to the house of lords and go through all the same stages there. so the legislative process is far from over. what about other challenges that it could face? some expert lawyers have described the legislation as potentially setting up a fight with the supreme court and the european court of human rights. just explain why. so although the bill tries to shut down various different grounds for appeal against asylum seekers being removed to rwanda, which have been used to date, it does leave open the possibility of individuals being able to challenge their removal, due to their personal circumstances, so it shuts down the possibility of blanket cases. but individuals can still challenge and they could still take an individual case to the european court of human rights and test... ahe test the law in that context. and that is what i think some of the conservative party are worried about, that that will in itself slow down the policy being implemented. and, of course, the government is operating on a tight timeframe now. it has to have a general election by january of next year. and that means if the bill takes a while to pass and then gets bogged down in the courts, they might not be able to implement that policy as they promised to do, and that might impede their chances ahead of the next election is what those conservatives fear. what is your reaction to the vote last night?

the latest from geneva. the latestl figures from the un refugee agency shows that 114 million people have been forcibly displaced. we read a lot in the papers, we hear a lot on tv, but the pressure, particularly in wealthy countries, the pressure of migrants. the reality the un inaudible wants to hammer home in the summit, how we can prevent more people becoming displaced. the key thing that the un refugee agency wants to do is take some of the heat out of what is increasingly, particularly in europe, the united kingdom, a very polarised and politicised debate. we hear a lot from wealthy countries about how we just can't take any more, too many people are coming. the reality is that the vast majority of people who are displaced stay very close to home. european countries take just a fraction of that number. the un would like this summit to inject some reality and common sense into the debate. there will be many refugees here in geneva. . they hope they will provide positive examples of people who have had to face the worst challenges any of us can face and have managed to turn their lives around and show that refugees are not necessarily a burden or a threat, but they can offer a great deal to the countries who host them while they are refugees.— while they are refugees. imogen foulkes. the northern ireland secretary chris heaton—harris is holding talks with the main parties in stormont today about the future of devolution. the discussions will focus on a financial package which the british government says it would provide if the devolved government was restored. there's been no fully—functioning power—sharing executive for almost two years. our ireland correspondent chris pagejoins us now. welcome, tell us what is happening today around these talks. this welcome, tell us what is happening today around these talks.— today around these talks. this was scheduled to _ today around these talks. this was scheduled to be _ today around these talks. this was scheduled to be the _ today around these talks. this was scheduled to be the third - today around these talks. this was scheduled to be the third and - today around these talks. this was scheduled to be the third and final| scheduled to be the third and final day of talks between the british government and the parties, the main parties, at stormont on funding for any future devolved government. chris heaton—harris, the northern ireland secretary, based here at hillsborough castle, has proposed a funding package worth £2.5 billion. but the cheque will only be cashed if there is a return to devolution. the democratic unionist party have been vetoing the formation of a power—sharing coalition at stormont for almost two years over post—brexit trading arrangements. essentially, the dup says trade barriers between northern ireland and england, scotland, and wales have been damaging northern ireland to's place in the uk. now, the british government will be hoping that the financial package will be something of an incentive for the dup to drop its veto and allow the stormont executive to be restored. there is something that all the parties agree on, the money on the table isn't enough to meet the funding needs of northern ireland. they have been pushing for more. separately, the dup says it is still negotiating with the westminster government over its remaining concerns on brexit. many people are interpreting the fact that the parties are back around a negotiating table of sorts as a sign of progress, as a sign that a deal to ultimately restore devolution may be edging closer. but the key party, really, if the democratic unionist party. it says it is in no hurry and wants to get a deal but only whenever that deal is right. the other parties, including the largest in the northern ireland assembly, the irish nationalist party, sinn fein, will be pressing the dup to allow a full return to government. the question for chris heaton—harris is at the conclusion of these talks today, will be negotiations continue with a view to getting a deal before christmas and most people will say thatis christmas and most people will say that is unlikely. or will he likely to returning to this process in the new year. the prospect of an immediate deal to bring back northern ireland's devolved government i suppose is being played down. however, the fact that these talks are happening is the most significant political development hear some would say for some time. chris, what impact has it been having, the lack of a devolved government for nearly two years? well, you really hear about the impact most when you speak to people who are working on public services. the issue that has come to the front has been around public sector pay. in the rest of the uk, there have been plenty of disputes, industrial action, involving the likes of teachers and nurses but in northern ireland, the scale of the industrial action at the moment is at a level above england, scotland, and wales. because workers here, public sector workers here, many of them will say their pay has fallen well behind people working the same jobs in great britain. for example, whenever the parties met for talks here on monday, there were protesters, trade union representatives, to tell the politicians exactly what they thought and said they needed a devolved government back to process the public pay claims. and to ultimately smooth the way to them getting a fair pay deal. that £2.5 billion which is being offered so far by the british government includes money for public sector pay increases. that certainly is one issue which is a major one, as regards the ongoing political crisis. there are others, big infrastructure projects, for example, not being made. the health service in northern ireland is widely regarded as being in crisis, with the longest hospital waiting times anywhere in the uk. all these issues have been piling up. there has been what some civil servants have described as a slow decline, a slow decay, of public services. the longer the decisions go unmade. the more impact will be felt in northern ireland. chris, for now, thank you. the adult social care sector is on a cliff edge according to the disability charity sense. it is one a shortage of skilled workers is putting vulnerable lives at risk. vacancies for at—home care is in england had more than doubled in the past decade. with around 71,000 posts unfilled. our correspondent anna collinson has spent time with a family in wiltshire who has struggled to find the level of care they need for their son. can struggled to find the level of care they need for their son.— they need for their son. can you make john _ they need for their son. can you make john a _ they need for their son. can you make john a cup _ they need for their son. can you make john a cup of _ they need for their son. can you make john a cup of tea? -
