Sunak seeking new Rwanda treaty after court rules policy unlawful

Rishi Sunak says the government is working on a new treaty with Rwanda, after the government's asylum seeker plan was ruled unlawful.

He also says he is "prepared to change our laws" if necessary.

The government believe the plan would deter people crossing in small boats across the Channel.
