laura kuenssberg that his job as chancellor was to ask probing questions of every proposal that crossed his desk. he made the comments in a wideranging interview in which he also talked about the government looking at legal options in the case of the post office horizon it scandal and tackling illegal migration. let s talk about immigration. it s one of your top priorities. we also know from documents the bbc saw this week that when you were chancellor you expressed doubts about number 10 s desire to send migrants to rwanda. do you admit you had reservations? no, and i haven t seen the documents so i can t comment on them specifically. but i discussed it with the prime minister and ultimately funded the plans and the scheme and myjob now as prime minister is to get it up and running. i believe it s really important because it is about deterrence. the national crime agency has said you need a deterrent to solve the problem and i believe that. that s why i got a new deal with

7th. it s really only gaza and journalists who are able to document the war because they have had little access and they are the only ones doing the work, so they are travelling to places like refugee camps to report on the effects of the war that those places are also under attack so there s is nowhere safe forjournalists to operate. tell us about the reaction from aljazeera and whether there will be proper accountability as to what happened here. they ve accused the israelis of targeting the journalists and we continue to demand independent investigations into these deaths and we ve seen a number of cases where journalists are wearing press insignia and it was known they were operating and had been killed and it was really important we saw investigations and that those responsible are held accountable and they must never be targeted in a war.
