From attempting such crossings. Well have more about the bill shortly, first lets go to wimereux near calais our correspondent tom symonds is there yes, jane. You can see the weather is very calm today. The sea is flat, there is plenty of visibility in the skies are relatively clear. It is perfect whether, as People Smugglers and migrants would see it, for crossing the channel to get to the uk, and that is what has been happening, several launches of boats from beaches. This is normally uncovered sand when the tide is out. That was what happened here earlier this morning, watched by a bbc team. A boat was launched, and people tried to get onto it, large numbers of people, about 110 or 112 tried to climb onto the boat. The police were here in attendance. What happened next was a fight between some of the migrants and some of the police. 0ur reporter Andrew Harding watched what happened. Theres a real battle going on on the beach here. Must be more than 100 migrants trying to get to the water. Theyre letting off firecrackers to try and keep the police away from them, but the police are moving in. Theyre trying to stop them from getting to the water. Lets go ahead and see what we can see. You can see the smugglers here. Some of them have sticks. Theyre trying to protect the migrants as they head towards the sea. What happened next . The boat managed to leave the shore and make it out to leave the shore and make it out to see, but then, and this is an account given by the french coastguard, it then got stranded on a sand bank. There were so many people on board that when they moved around as the boat became free on the water, some of them fell into the water, some of them fell into the water. We understand that five people have lost their lives and that one of them is a small girl, eitherfour that one of them is a small girl, either four or five that one of them is a small girl, Eitherfour Orfive years that one of them is a small girl, either four or five years old, which really does illustrate the risks that some of these migrants are taking trying to get across this channel. The french coastguard went in and tried to rescue some of those in and tried to rescue some of those in the water, and others who were in the boat refused to get out of the boat, which then appears to have carried on. Our reporter who is on the other side of the channel, simon jones, who is in dover, says that he thinks one of the vessels that has been picked up by the british authorities and migrants taken to the uk, some people are some people from the boat that started here. So that is just a measure people from the boat that started here. So that isjust a measure in one incident of what the government is facing with its pledge to stop the boats. ,. ,. , ~ the boats.

After months of gridlock the governments rwanda asylum bill is finally set to become law. Plans to send some Asylum Seekers to africa have been met with fierce criticism, but the Bill Which DesignatesRwanda A Safe Country was approved overnight. The Prime Minister said the first flights will leave the uk in ten to 12 weeks. Heres our Political Correspondent peter saull. Further along the french coast from where five migrants lost their lives this morning, and at first light, dozens of people try to find a scrap of rubber to perch on. Thisjourney was halted, but they will no doubt try again, a stark reminder of what the recent wranglings in westminster have been all about how to stop crossings on small boats. figs have been all about how to stop crossings on small boats. As many who are of crossings on small boats. As many who are of the crossings on small boats. As many who are of the opinion crossings on small boats. As many who are of the opinion say crossings on small boats. As many| who are of the opinion say content. The country, not content. This was the moment the House Of Lords finally backed down, and the legislation that declares Rwanda A Safe Place to send people will become law. The covenant hopes the threat of being sent to east africa dissuades people from crossing the channel, even if it doesnt seem to be putting them off yet.

We now need to get the treaty ratified and then we need to see the planes get off the ground. When we see the planes take off, then we will see the Deterrent Effect Kick in.

Tens of thousands of people who arrived in britain on small boats are waiting. The government says it has planes and an airfield ready, but there is a process to work through, and ministers are bracing themselves for legal challenges.

So far, we have seen no evidence that it does. More than two years seen no evidence that it does. More than two years have seen no evidence that it does. More than two years have passed since the policy was announced. In the meantime, the boats had kept coming. This was filmed just a few hours ago, migrants being picked up close to dover. But the controversial plan to dover. But the controversial plan to send people like mr rwanda is edging closer to becoming a reality. Peter bbc news. Lets go back to our correspodent simonjones, whos in dover. So the bill is through, but that is the question, is it enough to stop People Smugglers and to stop people wanting to come . Peoplesmugglers and to stop people wanting to come . Wanting to come . Well, the government wanting to come . Well, the government is wanting to come . Well, the government is describing i wanting to come . Well, the | government is describing the wanting to come . Well, the government is describing the passing of the bill as a landmark moment. I would call it a moment of truth, because if flights do take off as planned injuly, is here in dover where we are going to see whether the Deterrent Effect is working, because its down there that boats are brought in shore after migrants are brought in shore after migrants are picked up in the channel. This morning, it has been very busy on this side of the channel too. We have seen border force and the lifeboat brings cause of migrants back to shore more we reckon around 200 people so far. I understand there is another boat out there in there is another boat out there in the channel that is currently being picked up. Talk to people here in dover, and theres a certain sense of scepticism about whether flights really will make a difference. Thats because over the past five or six years since these crossings became a regular thing, people say there have been a number of Prime Ministers and a number of home secretaries. There have been several immigration ministers, all who have promised to get a grip of this issue, but the boats had kept coming. In the past, various ideas have been talked about. For example, there was talk of turning boats back in the channel. That was considered too dangerous. There was even talk of wave machines. The military were brought in at one stage and they were asked to try to send out a Deterrent Effect, but the effect only became, in the eyes of critics, a taxi service for migrants. So lots of things have been tried, but the government hopes rwanda will be the one that works. Government hopes rwanda will be the one that works one that works. Simon jones in dover. One that works.

The speed limit on some roads across wales looks likely to be increased just seven months after being reduced to 20 miles an hour. The new welsh transport secretary ken skates is due to give more details this afternoon about bringing back the 30mph limit, after the original plans were widely criticised. Lets go to our wales correspondent Hywel Griffth in cardiff. What is likely to happen . We will hear from ken what is likely to happen . We will hear from ken skates what is likely to happen . We will hear from Ken Skates In what is likely to happen . We will hear from Ken Skates In the what is likely to happen . We will. Hear from Ken Skates In the senedd later this afternoon. If we rewind to last year when this 20 mile an hour default limit was first introduced, we were told by the welsh Labour Government that it would save lives, and the political pain they endured would be worth it for better road safety. Since then, everyone has had to get used to the new limit. Not everyone happy about it. And increasingly, it seemed almost inevitable that the Welsh Government would have to make changes. Seven months after it was unveiled, wales default speed limit could be heading into reverse rather than a total u turn. In september, a third of the roads were changed from 30 to 20mph zones, with a claim it would save lives and bring people out of their cars. A record petition to the senedd signed by almost half a Million People called for the policy to be scrapped. Now a new transport secretary says hes listening, and some of those roads could revert. So roads which were made 20mph zones in september could now flip back to 30. Its an issue which has divided people in wales ever since the policy was introduced, and this latest turn is no different. What a waste of time and money. How much money have they spent on doing that . Im happy with 20 miles an hour. The government always said it was going to review what was going on, so theyre only doing what they said they were going to do. I can tell you one thing, when it came in, ive not really given it much of a second thought. Its business as usual, really, as soon as i get behind the wheel, you know . Anyone who ignores the limit does risk prosecution. It is being enforced. But the Welsh Government says it will work with councils to target changes, setting it in a different direction. Hywel griffith, bbc news. In the last couple of hours, the uk has announced another £500 million of funding for ukraine. The Prime Minister rishi sunak announced the funding on a visit to the polish capital, warsaw. Lets talk to our Political Editor chris mason, whos travelling with the Prime Minister.

We are at a Military Base East i jane. We are at a Military Base East of warsaw. In the next half hour, the Prime Minister, the nato secretary general Yan Stoltenberg and the polish Prime Minister donald tusk will all be here. A substantial speech expected from the Prime Minister later. As you say, there is this £500 million boost to british funding for ukraine in this financial year, so going up from £2. 5 billion to £3 billion. Mr sunak making an argument that in his view, i was speaking to him on the plane here, moscow � s invasion of ukraine has been a strategic failure. Nato has been a strategic failure. Nato has expanded the western military alliance, but there is clearly a nervousness from western leaders that in democracies, you have to continue to continue to take people with you. And when you are allocating hundreds of millions of pounds, billions of pounds a year to a cause defending ukraine, that comes with a cost. The money cant be spent elsewhere and there is the prospect that that
