Javelin thrower Fatima Whitbread will be using her own experience of foster care to launch a campaign to help disadvantaged children. Children. And shell be joining us here in the studio today and in the sport this morning. Leicester city sealed the championship title last night. They beat preston three nil. What on earth is the premier League Spending cap all about . Well, ill try and work that out. And i have the sorry tale of the norwegian ingebrigtsens big contrasts across the uk through the rest of today. Sunny for some cloudy and breezy with outbreaks of rain for many others. Ill have the full details on the forecast coming up shortly. Top story this morning, a government report has revealed that the home office has lost contact with more than half of migrants that were set for deportation to rwanda. How does deportation to rwanda. How does that happen . Yes. Well, according to the figures, just over 2100 identified for removal can be located out of 5700 Asylum Seekers. Now, this comes at sources claim the home office has accepted many migrants would be absorbed, abscond due to the implement nation of the scheme. In response, the government has reiterated the Prime Ministers plans to get flights off the ground over the next few months. Well, our gb news Political CorrespondentKatherine Forster joins us from westminster. Good morning to you. Look, previously they thought that the £49 a week allowance and free accommodation would be enough of an incentive to keep the Asylum Seekers checking in with the home office. But it seems the rwanda deterrent means a lot of them have just decided its not worth it and have gone underground. Yes, thats right, it and have gone underground. Yes, thats right , these are yes, thats right, these are people who arrived illegally. People who arrived illegally. Mostly, though not all, on small boats. Between january 22nd and june of 2023 that have been deemed eligible for this scheme. Nearly 6000 of them, but they only actually know the location of less than half of that number. These are people that regularly have to check in with the home office, which leaves over 3500. So the home office simply at the moment cannot locate. Now it was leaked in the papers yesterday that as of yesterday, the home office is supposed to be rounding up people and putting them into detention centres from which they cannot leave, ready to be sent on these flights to rwanda that the government has said will be taking off from july. But of course, easier said than done because you know this £49 a week that you mentioned in the free accommodation. Yeah, thats great, but if you are going to be sent to rwanda on a one way ticket, and bear in mind that these thousands of people have already been told that their asylum claims are, inadmissible and that therefore they are likely to be sent to rwanda , are likely to be sent to rwanda, are they really going to stick around for accommodation and £49 around for accommodation and £49 a week waiting to be sent to africa, when many of them have taken huge, huge risks, at risk their lives really to cross the channel to get to britain. So it channel to get to britain. So it will be interesting to see how successfully the home office can track these people. And of course, weve now got the ongoing row with the republic of ireland who claim that theres many, many people that have come in to the United Kingdom illegally now crossing over to ireland, because of course, there they will be safe from being sent off to rwanda. Catherine, just briefly , catherine, just briefly, weve got the Health Secretary coming up in the next half hour. Victoria atkins. Shes going to be talking about renewing the nhs constitution, which they have to do every ten years. And shes talking about making sure that there are wards that are single sex only, which a lot of people will think is common sense. But perhaps surprisingly , sense. But perhaps surprisingly, nhs bosses have come out and said actually, culture wars should be kept well away from the health service. The health service. Yes it is, and i think this will, this will be welcome news to many, many people up and down the country and women in particular. And youd think that some single sex wards were the standard, but very often still , standard, but very often still, because of the capacity in the nhs, people do end up on mixed sex wards. Now the Health Secretary , victoria atkins, as secretary, victoria atkins, as one of a number of plans being announced today, is going to say that the nhs should go by biological sex and that, you know, any woman who says she wants to be on a single sex ward should and will have that right. And if that means that a transgender woman, is not allowed to be put on that ward, then they will need to be put potentially in a separate room. So i think this will be positive news. It is a consultation, but certainly weve moved a long way, havent we, the government now, feeling very confident to say openly, we need to go by the definition of biological sex. We need to protect women and single sex spaces thank you very much, catherine. Thank you. Thats going to create a row or 2 or 3 or 5 or 6, isnt it . You know, to say that, gender doesnt. To say that, gender doesnt. What does . What is it saying . Well, women should be treated in women only wards, essentially, and they shouldnt be treated alongside men. Do you have any extra bits . Then you shouldnt be in a womans ward. Yeah. So thats thats an interesting one. What was the other thing she was talking about there . Rwanda . Yeah. Asylum seeker . No no no no no, people arent interested in rwanda. Oh, theyre not interested. Theyre bored stiff. People are bored stiff. You see how ridiculous that half of all people. Right . You come into the country. Well, this is terrible. Well stick you up in some hotel that weve commandeered or whatever. And then they have no idea where anyone is. Well, no idea. Very , very alarming. You very, very alarming. You know, these people often come in without papers. We dont know who they are. And being, you know, being able to keep track of them is an absolutely essential part of the processing scheme. And to then have these people just disappearing into the wherever theyve gone, we dont know who they are, what theyre capable of. A lot of people, i think will be concerned by that. Was that an unintended consequence of these rwanda flights . Because its this is the deterrent that has suddenly caused them to go, we havent got the money. We havent got the resources to look after this. And, you know, like people like the lawyer who we had on yesterday, the human rights lawyer, whatever. Ive just got to get it through their head. We cannot be responsible for the problems of the rest of the world. We havent got the money. We havent got the money. We havent got the resources. We cant look after our own people. So why are we expected to look after everybody from all around the world who are on some sort of hard luck story, let us know your views on that. Gb news. Com forward slash. Have your say. Well, in scotland , the snp is well, in scotland, the snp is preparing for a leadership contest after humza yousaf announced his resignation on, he admitted he underestimated the level of upset he would cause by cutting political ties with the greens. A bit late now, humza. Well, he will continue in his post until a replacement is found. I bear no ill will and certainly bear no grudge against anyone. Politics can be a brutal business. It takes its toll on your physical and Mental Health. Your family suffer alongside you. I am in absolute debt to my wonderful wife, my beautiful children and my wider family for putting up with me over the years. Im afraid you will be seeing a lot more of me , from seeing a lot more of me, from now, lets go to Kevin Schofield. Kevins the Political Editor of the huffington post. So kevin , he underestimated the fallout. The level of offence that that that he caused a bit late now isnt it . Oh, yeah. You can see that again. Yeah. I dont know what he was thinking, really. It was. It was the manner in which he dumped the greens last week, rather than the act of dumping them himself. He dragged them them himself. He dragged them into his official residence in edinburgh. Then he sent them out to face the music. And understandably, they were very unhappy, and they took their first opportunity that came along to exact their revenge, and that was to say that they were going to vote, in favour of a conservative motion of no confidence in humza yousaf. And from that moment on, his political career was over. Effectively, he didnt have the numbers, to defeat that motion. Numbers, to defeat that motion. And so we ended up yesterday with him chucking it. With him chucking it. Its interesting when we look at, well, not only where the party has gone and what it represents. I mean, a lot of people have been critical, havent they, that its become one a issue or two issue Party Obsessed with independence, but also things like trans ideology. And theyve neglected the important things like running the country, education and transport and all the rest of it. What will happen if john swinney, who seems to be the favourite at the moment , gets favourite at the moment, gets crowned as the new leader because he of course hes massively in favour of trans self id and also an lgbt curriculum and is proudly progressive as they say. Well yes, so humza yousaf if he presented himself in the leadership contest last year as the continuity candidate, the one who would continue, Nicola Sturgeons legacy john swinney was Nicola Sturgeons deputy first minister. So hes been described as the continuity continuity candidate. So what you might get is more of the same when a lot of people in the snp would say, well, thats whats got us into this mess in the first place, so maybe we need to try something different. I think the person to keep an eye on later today will be kate forbes, who narrowly lost out to humza yousaf last year. Forbes, who narrowly lost out to humza yousaf last year. She was humza yousaf last year. She was very critical of the Nicola Sturgeon legacy in last years leadership contest. If she were to stand again then it would be a proper contest, a battle of ideas of where the party should go in the future. But it looked yesterday as though all the senior Party Figures were starting to row in behind john swinney, Stephen Flynn , whos swinney, Stephen Flynn, whos the westminster leader, supports john swinney. His predecessor, john swinney. His predecessor, ian blackford, also said he supports john swinney. So supports john swinney. So certainly theres a big move amongst senior snp figures. I think for, john swinney to get the job without a contest and get it over and done with as quickly as possible and try to move on. But if kate forbes announced that shes standing and obviously all bets are off, but who . John in general, you know, looking at the other parties, does one of them stand to gain more than than others . With the demise of the snp . Demise of the snp . Yeah, well labour certainly are, on the march in scotland at the moment. There was another poll out yesterday which showed them, i think, one point ahead or neck and neck with the snp. As far as holyrood voting intention is concerned, the same goes for westminster, voting intention. The labour are very optimistic about picking up a lot of seats in scotland, at the general election. So yeah , general election. So yeah, labour at the moment are rubbing their hands with glee at at the state of the snp and hoping that they can usurp them as the pre eminent party north of the border, the conservatives, theyre still roughly around about 18, so theyre not as well placed as labour to take advantage of the snps troubles. I heard sir keir starmer being described yesterday as a very lucky general because hes only had to sit back and watch the tory psychodrama in westminster. The collapse of the snp leadership had absolutely no policies forward particularly, but really see the poll ratings go through. I mean, theres some truth in that, isnt there . Absolutely. Well, youve only absolutely. Well, youve only got to look at the chaos that theres been with the conservatives going through different Prime Ministers. Now the snp seem to be following their lead. I think its largely because of the fact that both parties have been in power for such a long time. The snp have beenin such a long time. The snp have been in power now, remarkably, for 17 years in scotland and eventually political gravity kicks in and, you can no longer be as popular because youve made mistakes. Youve been involved in scandals, controversies , and these things controversies, and these things all catch up with you. And i think thats whats happened with the snp. Now okay. Kevin schofield, thanks very much indeed. Thanks, kevin. Cheers. At the time, 6 13 oclock. Some other stories that weve got for you on this tuesday morning. And a ceasefire could be reached between israel and hamas within days after a potential deal was put forward. It includes a 40 day end to the fighting. In return for the release of hostages. The us secretary of state, antony blinken, has said the only thing standing in the way of an agreement is hamas, with foreign secretary lord David Cameron calling the deal very generous. Calling the deal very generous. The parents of the nottingham stabbing victim, grace omalley kumar, are backing calls to award their daughter, the george cross, after she lost her life attempting to save her friend Barnaby Weber from the knife attacker Valdo Calocane calocane high security hospital order is set to be reviewed next week , set to be reviewed next week, after the victims families expressed their outrage that the killer avoided a prison sentence following his sentencing in january, four Police Officers have been shot dead, four others injured. Its gun battle in north carolina. The officers were in the process of serving an arrest warrant before the fugitive opened fire. The man in question was killed during the exchange. Was killed during the exchange. Two other suspects have been arrested in connection with the incident. Incident. Now the duchess of edinburgh has become the first royal to travel to ukraine since russias invasion in 2022. Yeah, she was representing the king and at a time when the royals are looking especially pared back, its sophies visit. Were asking, is it a sign of her growing prominence . And i think actually she has got the royal blessing from king charles on this one. Were going to go to Kinsey Schofield on all of this for the answers. What do you think of sophie of edinburgh , you know, how is she accounted for herself . How is she coming for herself . How is she coming across . And has she been anointed by charles as well . First of all, i just want to confirm that im your favourite schofield. Because that was that was alarming to me to see that Kevin Schofield was also appearing on the program. Appearing on the program. Oh, but its an awful name for me. Believe me. You know what . Amen. Amen. Dont. What do you mean . I dont want to associated with that name. That name. Right. Amen. All right. Right. Amen. All right. Well, i never even think of you like that. Youre just kinsey to me. Im having a coughing fit how. Now. Thats wonderful. Excuse me. Thats wonderful. Excuse me. I think sophie has been coined the royal familys secret weapon. As of late, her path was not the easiest one, but shes living proof that patience is a virtue. And if you work hard and stay focused your time to shine will come. You know, she was under immediate scrutiny when she hit the scene because she was a self made career woman. A young woman who was incredibly successful. She was a commoner and, you know, she looked so similar to Princess Diana when she was younger. So they were constantly pit against each other when it came to beauty and fashion, you know, she tried and failed the half in, half out route, but unlike, you know, who she ultimately chose the family. And despite some of that chaos, she was rewarded for her loyalty. So, absolutely, i think that the king very much believes in the king very much believes in the duchess of edinburgh is so grateful for her contribution, and we saw real leadership with her today. Justin kinsey, to see that she actually bumped the prince and princess of wales off the front of some of the newspapers this morning. She made it onto the front of the telegraph , the front of the telegraph, whereas it was the brand new picture that we havent seen to mark their wedding anniversary. Thats made it onto the front of the times and i suppose that shows you know how significant that visit is. And how prominent shes becoming. I mean, the late queens favourite daughter in law also meeting with president zelenskyy. And during her surprise stop, she spoke to survivors of Sexual Violence and torture and heard from children who had been returned to ukraine after being separated from their families. And when she met with president zelenskyy she gave him a private note from the king and they discussed how to support these survivors of Sexual Assault in conflicts. I know some people conflicts. I know some people might criticise this move as political , but might criticise this move as political, but this was might criticise this move as political , but this was without political, but this was without a doubt a very courageous visit from sophie. There are no guarantees in the middle of war, and it and it does just tell you how much faith his majesty has in his sister in law, i find it fascinating that youve got sophie. I know sophie, i used to work with her over, well, 30 years ago, but. Work with her over, well, 30 years ago, but. But work with her over, well, 30 years ago, but. But somebody years ago, but. But somebody whos not a royal by birth, like catherine middleton. And they do such a good jobs, they really adapted to the roles that , have adapted to the roles that, have been put before them. Been put before them. Yeah, i think that they understood the assignment. I understood the assignment. I mean, to i think that these are two peo
