A controversial plan to send some asylum seekers to Rwanda from Britain faces two more challenges today ahead and the first flight could have fewer than 10 migrants on board if it does take off on Tuesday.
Home Secretary Priti Patel launched the plan to deport asylum seekers who arrived in the UK "illegally" to the East African country, which she says aims to deter people smugglers from bringing migrants into the UK on dangerous boat journeys.
The Rwanda scheme is highly contentious and has been challenged in the courts. The first flight to the Rwandan capital, Kigali, is due to take off on Tuesday, June 14. Out of 130 told on Friday that they could be on the flight, fewer than 10 could actually be on board, the BBC reports.
