Today we look at the Safety of Rwanda bill, which passed through parliament tonight after a back and forth with the Lords. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says it will allow his government to put asylum seekers on flights in “10-12 weeks”. Chris joins Adam to discuss how we got here, and what happens next. And presenter Huw Edwards has resigned from the BBC on “medical advice from his doctors”. He has been off air since last July, after reports were published which claimed he paid a young person for explicit images. Adam speaks to culture & media editor, Katie Razzall.
