Britain Passes Rwanda Bill | Deportation to Begin in July? | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Britain's parliament has passed the controversial Rwanda Bill. The bill allows the UK to deport asylum seekers who came to the country illegally through a safe third country like France. The asylum seekers will be flown to Rwanda, instead of having their asylum pleas heard in the UK. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak hopes the bill will serve as a deterrent, and stop refugees from making their way to the UK. Sunak has announced that the first deportation flight will take off in 10 to 12 weeks. But will Sunak manage to deport all the thousands of migrants who are awaiting asylum? Palki Sharma tells you more.
