because they want this without any palestinians. they want the land without palestinians. palestinians see all this and the rest of the settler violence on the west bank as confirmation of their worst fears, that there are powerful elements inside israel, in the government as well as the settler movement, who want them out and who are using the enormous crisis surrounding the gaza war as an opportunity to further their agenda. south of hebron, palestinian farmers are ploughing with the donkey because localjewish settlers have threatened to steal or break their tractor if they use it. arabs and jews started fighting over every grain of soil in the land both sides believe should be theirs more than a century ago. here, it still comes down to that in every rocky field. that was jeremy bowen, our international editor reporting there. the home secretary james cleverly will give an update this afternoon on plans to send some asylum seekers to rwanda. mr cleverly is in the country to sign a new treaty. the immigration minister, robertjenrick, said the deal would address concerns raised by the supreme court when it ruled the existing policy was unlawful. with me is is drjoelle grogan, legal expert and senior researcher at �*uk in a changing europe'. we have not seen the treaty yet, it is expected in the next hour or so. what is in the treaty?— what is in the treaty? exactly, there are _ what is in the treaty? exactly, there are three _ what is in the treaty? exactly, there are three big _ what is in the treaty? exactly, there are three big questions. what is in the treaty? exactly, i there are three big questions that everyone, but especially parliamentarians, are going to be asking: first, does this actually responded to concerns of the supreme court? we have erred indications british lawyers will be sent to rwanda, but what does that mean in practice? asylum seekers are going to be processed under rwanda no, not british law. it is notable that the official language of the court is not english. we will need a not only for british lawyers but also for the asylum seekers. the second even bigger question, and this raises a lot of legal and political questions, is the promise we are hearing that those sent to rwanda will not be returned, as in returned to countries where they face risk. this is something everyone agrees is a bad thing. this is a problem where eitherfirst rwanda will a bad thing. this is a problem where either first rwanda will either accept all asylum seekers regardless of the merit of their claim for refugee status, or they will be returned to the uk if they fail to get refugee status in rwanda. this is a big political and potentially legal nightmare. we is a big political and potentially legal nightmare.— is a big political and potentially legal nightmare. we have some -ictures legal nightmare. we have some pictures to _ legal nightmare. we have some pictures to show _ legal nightmare. we have some pictures to show off _ legal nightmare. we have some pictures to show off james - legal nightmare. we have some i pictures to show off james cleverly in rwanda arriving there this underlines how the government wants to go ahead with this policy, but we are literally only talking about a few hundred people who potentially could be sent to rwanda out of tens of thousands. i could be sent to rwanda out of tens of thousands-— of thousands. i think that we are exectin: of thousands. i think that we are expecting up _ of thousands. i think that we are expecting up to _ of thousands. i think that we are expecting up to 40 _ of thousands. i think that we are expecting up to 40 or _ of thousands. i think that we are expecting up to 40 or 50,000 i of thousands. i think that we are - expecting up to 40 or 50,000 people crossing via small boats this year. but, you are right, the united nations has tracked around 200 people every year in rwanda is going to refugee status. i think initially, i think the uk will look around... this is strongly premised on there being a way to do this legally. currently, there is not. what is the next step for the uk government?

but what do the great british public think? all right. what do they taste like? beans. i would buy that, yes. to be honest, they're better than heinz. . the seeds for these beans took 12 years to develop by scientists at the university of warwick. their main aim, to make them exactly the same as what shoppers expect. we're always trying to grow new things and trying to do things to save on food mileage and to save on imports because we're importing too much food. it could take years to replace the entire supply chain from canada and china, but today marks the start of a journey to self—sufficiency. you're live with bbc news. prince harry has been subjected to unlawful and unfair treatment by the british government over the decision to take away his police protection when he is in britain, his lawyer has told london's hi caught in the latest hour or so. we cross live to our correspondent outside the high court in london. what does this mean?
