Rwanda Plan to Continue Despite Legal Battles; MPs Debate Gene-Editing Bill

Despite an 11th-hour legal ruling by a European court, the government says it will press ahead with its plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda. The decision to ground the flight Tuesday night sparked uproar from Tory MPs and calls to withdraw from the court. MPs debate the government’s bill to allow altering the genes of plants and animals. The EU has announced fresh legal action against the UK in response to the government’s proposal to scrap parts of the Northern Ireland Protocol.
