under a new bill of rights, the government would be able to ignore injunctions from the court in strasbourg, which has nothing to do with the european union. last week the court blocked ministers from sending asylum seekers to rwanda. here's our political editor, chris mason. i would deputy prime minister unveiled his new bill in parliament today. i unveiled his new bill in parliament toda . ., unveiled his new bill in parliament toda . . , ., ., ., ., today. i am proud of our world speaking judiciary _ today. i am proud of our world speaking judiciary and - today. i am proud of our world speaking judiciary and what i today. i am proud of our world i speaking judiciary and what else today. i am proud of our world - speaking judiciary and what else is the point of a supreme court if it vows insubordination to a european one. , , ., ., vows insubordination to a european one. they shadowjustice minister criticised the _ one. they shadowjustice minister criticised the bill _ one. they shadowjustice minister criticised the bill over _ one. they shadowjustice minister criticised the bill over how

this is the court in strasbourg in france that upholds the european convention on human rights, which the uk signed up to in the 19505. labour introduced the human rights act that put the convention in uk law. it's this the government wants to replace with its bill of rights because it thinks the number of claims under the current law has got too high. there's certainly been a human rights inflation. i don't think anyone, even the critics of this policy, could doubt that over time that's happened. and has it undermined the credibility of human rights? i think it has. the government is not abandoning the european convention, but diluting its influence. ministers claim it will help protect freedom of speech, remove bureaucratic burdens from the police and ensure the most dangerous prisoners are kept isolated from other criminals. labour say it's a dark day for anyone relying on the state to protect them and claim ministers want to divide people. i think that this government at the moment isjust trying to pick fights. i think that he is, they are like a drunk at the end of when the pubs

the european court in strasbourg has a long injury —— history of examining cases in the us on similar national security grounds but on the same grounds you could appeal but the case law in strasbourg is very clear and what a lot of these cases came down to in recent years was whether or not the us could treat somebody fairly if they were sent from the uk to the us to potentially spend the rest of their lives behind bars, and the us keeps giving assurances to the uk every time these cases happens, in particular relation to terrorism cases a decade ago saying they will treat people fairly, they might be in solitary confinement at times but it would still be within the boundaries of human rights and you can debate that, to be honest the fact is, when push came to shove, the strasbourg court backed down and allowed expeditions to the us from the uk to continue and that is what he will be up against and the other argument he might put before the court is that it is right as a journalist and he describes himself as a journalist, should trump all of the other arguments, so there is still a l

many conservatives are now questioning the powers of that court in strasbourg. this is what the british . people wanted us to do — control immigration coming across in those boats. - so how is it right that this court has overruled all of our courts i and this parliament? politically, the home secretary might not be too bothered about a fight with lawyers here and a court in strasbourg but ultimately, she does need to come up with a workable policy. ploughing ahead with plans for another flight to rwanda leaves ministers open to the accusation they could be wasting hundreds of thousands of pounds of taxpayers' money. but until a flight does take off, it is hard to gauge what impact it will have on those trying to come here. at this unofficial camp in dunkirk, many are thinking about their next move. arum says he will still try to cross to england. translation: we are going to cross the english channel and god willing, | this deportation to rwanda does not include us and if the uk sends thousands of refugees to rwanda, let's send us too. i think rwanda is far b

of strasbourg that is incorporated in british law. i want to ask you finally about two more things, if i made. suggestions from the prime minister that people like yourself, barristers, lawyers and qc toure, are, and i quote, abetting the work of criminal gangs. this is just defamation for political purposes. the lawyers who act for refugees are well—intentioned, hard—working, and not all by any means leftist. if you want to engage in this stupid, juvenile names calling, questions will be asked about lawyers who work for the government. how do they split their conscience, supporting the government's brutal policies? it is a game that two can play and neither should. is a game that two can play and neithershould. in is a game that two can play and neither should. in any event, the finaljudgments in britain are made by britishjudges who finaljudgments in britain are made by british judges who are by no means aiding and abetting criminal acts. �* ,., acts. also a suggestion potentially from the prime _ acts. also a suggestion poten

happened today, there was an application today, there was an application to the human rights court in strasbourg, which has the power to ask a state north to make a deportation. and the court effectively had two reasons why it said this shouldn't take place. first of all, it said that there were, the english court itself, had accepted that there were dangers in rwanda and they were concerned about procedures in rwanda. and because the english court had, in fact, found that it was a serious tribal issue, whether or not rwanda was in fact a safe lace, a safe destination, it was sensible to stop this deportation until a full hearing could be heard in the english courts as to whether in fact the deportations were legal —— place. we fact the deportations were legal -- place-— fact the deportations were legal -- place. we heard from the government _ legal -- place. we heard from the government soon - legal -- place. we heard from the government soon after- legal -- place. we heard from | the government soon after this intervention came in, priti patel tweeting and talking about how they would no

and that same story about the strasbourg court's action is the lead in the guardian. we will also talk about the cricket that features there on the front page. the sun chooses to splash on a story about boxer tyson fury�*s return to the ring. the ft leads on "turmoil" in the world of virtual currencies, reporting on job cuts at coinbase. it's cutting a fifth of its workforce. so let's remind you of that news within the last hour related to that flight that was due to take—off a little earlier tonight — we understand that will not happen. that's because of rulings that have meant there were originally seven asylum—seekers who were supposed to be on that plane, down from 50. we are told that a human rights appealfrom down from 50. we are told that a human rights appeal from the european court of human rights has meant that one of those was removed from the flight, which prompted legal appeals from the others who were on that plane, we were led to believe there were six remaining. now because of successful late—night petitions to the court of appeal in london,

you are a sociologist at the university of strasbourg and you've written extensively about the role the human face plays in society. i wanted to ask you first, what does the face convey about our identity, our personality? >> obviously we recognize people by their faces. that's how we are genocide and age, sex, -- that's how we are identified with an age, sex, level of attractiveness. it is how we know whether our words are goodwill, or if the other person seems critical or worried or annoyed. the face is also an essential element in conversations, to know how to appropriately behave with one another. >> and smiling, a person's smile was something we so rarely when we were wearing masks. how important is a smile in day-to-day interaction? >> i think smiling is essential when meeting someone. it is a fundamental part of recognizing someone. through our smile, we let the other person know we are happy to see them again. >> the mask might hide certain things but can reveal others, like our relationship with authority, our consideration for other people. do you think the mask is an indicato

let us go back to strasbourg and hear from emanuel macro in the next 2 or 3 minutes. but before that, a barbara, let's talk about some of the other things that but jumped out at you from ocean on the line speech. basically what the message she was giving apart from all the praise, of course, for the citizens panels and the the work they have done. she has to do this. of course, she has to sort of give them the feeling that they are included in future decision processes. she wants to make this a moralist, permanent em fixture that citizens will come together before new and big like legislation is put into place, will come together and voice their opinion, which may be a smart idea. it's not going to be easy. take some work, it costs some money, but it may really improve this says that democracy like that everyone is complaining so much about the european union and does so that would, that is one of the points. and of course in now the point is that what she basically said was, the european union will have to change if the ones to revive we really have to and now we thi
