Description

Today, we look at whether the government has lost track of some of the migrants it aims to send to Rwanda. And, whether this is linked to a rise in migration to Ireland?

The Irish government has blamed the Rwanda policy for the rise in migrants arriving from Northern Ireland. Meanwhile Rishi Sunak, has claimed this as evidence his plan is working. Does the Irish government have a right to send migrants back to the UK? Has the UK government ‘lost’ asylum seekers? Adam is joined by Irish journalist Gavan Reilly and Dominic Casciani, BBC News home and legal correspondent

Plus we speak to Sarah Smith BBC North America Editor about the escalating student protests over Gaza.
