The Home Secretary Priti patel wants to start turning back some boats carrying migrants across the english channel. The controversial so called � pushback� tactics would be used in limited circumstances. But the french authorities believe it would be dangerous and a breach of international martime law. So far this week alone, more than 1500 migrants have crossed the channel by boat. Jon donnison reports. Watch your hands. Children first. The government has pledged to stop the boats. But with more than 1500 migrants being intercepted and brought ashore this week, it is failing. The Home Secretary has been seeking greater assistance from france. But despite objections from paris, Priti Patel now says in limited circumstances, the Uk Border force will be authorised to turn Migrant Boats back. Even some of Her own mps are not convinced.

Injuly the government agreed to pay the french an extra £54 million to step up patrols and tackle People-smugglers'>People Smugglers. But france has said britain Turning Boats back at sea would be dangerous, foolish and illegal and for the union that represents Uk Border force staff, that means the Governments Plan is a nonstarter.

We have an obligation to protect lives. We have Asylum Law and obligation to take seriously, People who are fleeing. And on top of that tHere are rules of the road, avoiding collisions at sea. The uk believes it can intercept, it has the power to do that wHere it feels it is necessary for police and immigration purpose to protect the border. But as lawyers have pointed out today, pushback, why that might be potentially legal could quickly become a Rescue Operation if it goes wrong. What if the sea changes, what if somebodyjumps from a dinghy or a small boat into the channel. The Border Force commanders acting with the authority of the Home Secretary, to effectively repel a boat and send it into french waters, they have to carry out a rescue under their legal obligations. On top of that you have the international question about cooperation. THere are no international waters in the straits of dover wHere these crossings are taking place. They need french cooperation. If the Home Office is not going to get french corporation, critics are saying it is a bit like political posturing, ratHer than a realistic plan that will take place. Thank you very much indeed.

But talking to People today, mostly they are from sudan, somalia, some from afghanistan. If the hope from london that tough talk from Downing Street to change minds Here, i think it has fallen on deaf ears. The indications we are getting, this will not change the desire to get to the united kingdom and it is things like the weatHer which is a determining factor as to whetHer People set off or not and crucially, if they have the money to pay the People-smugglers'>People Smugglers for a place on a boat. That is the unofficial reaction on the ground Here. In terms of the official reaction from the french government, that is from the interior minister, who met Priti Patel yesterday. They had this meeting and he has tweeted that france will not accept any practice that breaks maritime law, nor any financial blackmail. That relates to Whatjon Donnison was talking about, this £54 million the united kingdom had promised france so it could double some of its Coast Guard patrols along the stretch of water. The french are unhappy because they say, as far as they were concerned, it was never dependent on results. If you look at what has happened so far, the french have intercepted more than half the boats that have left trying to get to the united kingdom, they have intercepted more than 10,000 People.

Helena wilkinson, Bbc News. The government is considering whetHer it should be compulsory for Front Line Nhs workers in england to be vaccinated against covid 19. Some unions are warning the move would lead to more staff shortages but the government believe its essential to protect vulnerable patients. Our Health Correspondent Jim Reed is Here. Jim, tHeres a six Week Consultation on whetHer to go ahead with this . THere is, ben. It is likely to affect over 1 tHere is, ben. It is likely to affect over1 million nhs front Line Staff in england, so these staff who work with Patients Day in and day out. Around 12 of nhs workers in trusts have not had a second doused of the covid vaccine. In some areas, it could be as high as 22 . THere is a big disparity in terms of areas. The government has already said that for Care Workers in england, they will need to have a vaccination by november. Already the law in england on that front. Ministers now consulting on whetHer to extend that to those 1. 2 million Nhs Staff as well, unless they have a medical exemption, but some concern about this idea. Unison, the idea which the union which represents those worker says that if it goes ahead it could make it harder to retain some Nhs Staff at a time when tHere is already a shortage in parts of the nhs. As you said, this is a six Week Consultation and ministers will have to make a final decision as to whetHer to go ahead. It is for england only. No plans to introduce mandatory vaccination in wales, scotland or Hern-ireland'>NortHern Ireland at the moment. Thank you. The Scottish Parliament will vote this evening on plans to bring in a Vaccine Passport scheme for entry to nightclubs, major Sporting Events and concerts. If it does, scotland will be the first nation in the united kingdom to use the passports. But concerns have been raised about how the scheme would work and both labour and the Liberal Democrats have said theyll vote against the proposals. Our Scotland Correspondent Lorna Gordon reports. This was a Big Game for scotland for what it meant for the national side and in terms of numbers with more than 40,000 Football Fans attending. The next time scotland play at home, though, they might need a covid passport to attend. Well get them, were old enough, were Double Jabbed, so. People are getting covid tests etc, so why do they need a passport . I think its a bad idea, because its their choice, isnt it . I work in the nhs, i work on a Covid Ward and i agree with it. We need it. Under the proposal, everyone over 18 whos eligible for vaccination will have to show a Vaccine Certificate to gain entry to nightclubs. Youll have to be Double Jabbed for unseated indoor events with audiences of more than 500 People, also if you are in an audience of more than 4,000 at an unseated outdoor event, or at any event with more than 10,000 People attending. Backers say the scheme is a way of allowing events like this big Football Game to go ahead despite surging covid cases, and will help with efforts to avoid imposing furtHer restrictions. But opponents have concerns about civil liberties. And otHers wonder whetHer it will actually work in practice. Its not clear what timescales clubs will be asked to work to. Its not clear what can be done for those People who dont have a smartphone to be able to download Qr Codes and engage with the technology. Chanting otHer countries, including italy, ireland and france wHere tHere have been protests against Vaccine Passports have already introduced their own schemes. Experts say it has led to an uptake in vaccinations. France brought this in when they were having a real problem with vaccine uptake. And the day after the policy was announced A Million People booked theirjabs and its estimated that around 7 Million extra vaccinations have been given because of the introduction of Vaccine Passports. England has plans to introduce vaccine certification. Wales is considering it for higHer risk settings. NortHern ireland has not yet announced a position. Holyrood will debate it later. The Scottish Government insists that Vaccination Certification is a limited, targeted and proportionate response to a very difficult situation. Lorna gordon, Bbc News. The time is 13. 19.

Its 20 years this weekend since the 9 11 attacks on america, and just ahead of that anniversary, the pre Trial Hearing of five men accused of masterminding the attacks has resumed. Its their 42nd Appearance in court and the judge is the eighth to have presided over the case, which has been bogged down for years. The hearing has been at Guantanamo Bay the prison still for dozens of detainees and from wHere our North America Correspondent Aleem Maqbool has sent this report. In a tiny corner of cuba, one notorious By Product of the 9 11 attack still remains. Prisoners are still being held in limbo in Guantanamo Bay. Well, of course, the us authorities have allowed us to be Here but they are extremely restrictive in controlling what we can show in terms of People and structures. They certainly havent allowed us near the Detention Facilities wHere the remaining prisoners are being held. Many of these original camps have been long abandoned. Now, 39 prisoners remain. Some were cleared for release as far back as 2010 but are still waiting to leave. OtHers have been designated forever prisoners because of the threat theyre thought to pose. But ten have been charged and are due to face military trials. They include five men accused of involvement in the 9 11 attacks. For the first time in more than 18 months, those five men were in a courtroom togetHer. We couldnt film it, of course, but we were in the gallery behind the glass when these men appeared for their pre Trial Hearing. Including, at the front Here, the man with the ginger beard, which is khalid sheikh mohammed, the man who its believed conceived of the idea of the 9 11 attacks and took that idea to osama bin laden. The proceedings themselves were extremely slow. One of the main obstacles in terms of the arguments going forward is what evidence is admissible and what cannot be admitted because of torture. Its one of the reasons why the Family Members of victims of 9 11, some of whom were Here in the gallery observing events, are unlikely to get a resolution in this case soon. People often ask, is tHere an end in sight . And for a long time tHere was not even a middle in sight. But now we are in the middle of the case, because wrestling on the question of the effect that torture has on admissibility of statements is the heart of the case. And so mistakes of the past are having a bearing on the Search Forjustice now over 9 11. And with no trial dates even having been set, the Detention Centre Here looks no closer to shutting down. Aleem maqbool, Bbc News, in Guantanamo Bay. They call it havana syndrome, a mysterious illness that disproportionately affects american spies and diplomats. Symptoms include hearing strange sounds and a feeling of heat or pressure. The condition was first noticed in the cuban capital, with Cases Amonst Cia officers, but now tHere are reports of it all around the world. Some Suspect Havana Syndrome could be a form of attack by a foreign state using microwaves. Heres our security correspondent, gordon corera. Cheering and whistling in 2015, the us reopened its embassy in cuba, as relations between the countries were restored, but then something happened. Diplomats and spies began to hear sounds and fall ill with a mysterious illness that People struggled to explain what became known as havana syndrome. The Trump Administration announced friday that it is pulling more than half of its staff out of the american embassy in havana. But it wasntjust havana. On a Trip To Moscow A year later, senior Cia Officer Marc polymeropolous says he suffered similar symptoms. It is real, we have to get our People-health-care'>People Health Care and then we have to find out whos doing this because, as i have always contended, this is an act of war against us officials. The first cases were reported in havana in 2016. The next were in chinain 2018. But this year has seen a new wave including vienna and berlin. And most recently, hanoi in vietnam, affecting the us Vice President s visit tHere. Her flight was delayed for several hours because at least one us i diplomat had to be medevaced. But some have questioned whetHer the syndrome is real, suggesting that the stress caused whats called a psychogenic illness of the mind, which is now spreading. When you see mass psychogenic illnesses, tHeres usually some stressful situation, an underlying situation. And of course, in the case of cuba and the embassy employees, particularly the cia agents, they certainly were in a stressful situation. In the last year, new evidence has emerged. That Led A Panel of scientists, sponsored by the state department, to conclude that pulsed microwaves were most likely responsible in at least some of the cases. Definitive evidence of what started in cuba remains elusive. Some link it to electronic surveillance. OtHers, a weapon. But with cases now emerging in every continent, the biden administration has made solving this mystery a national security priority. Gordon corera, Bbc News.
