The British sent 800 police officers to repatriate the refugees, who fled to Ireland to set up tents and were cleared
According to the latest British media reports, the British government has officially launched the plan to repatriate illegal refugees to Rwanda on May 1, making the repatriation plan a real reality, and the British authorities dispatched 800 police officers yesterday to begin arresting those refugees who have been targeted as the first batch of repatriation.
It is also reported that in recent days, about 1,700 illegal refugees have crossed the border into Ireland from Northern Ireland, and they have been living on the streets of Dublin and setting up tents in order to avoid being deported to Rwanda by the British government.
On the morning of 1 May, Irish authorities also launched an operation, dispatching police and cleaning crews to clear a cluster of illegal refugee tents on Mount Street in central Dublin.
Footage from the scene showed that many tents randomly erected on the street were removed by cranes, and clean-up workers were carrying out the aftermath with high-pressure water cannons.
It is reported that about 200 illegal immigrants were transferred by bus on the spot.
At present, Ireland and the British government are at an impasse on related issues. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has just made it clear that he will not bring these illegal refugees back from Ireland. The Irish government recently announced that it will send more than 100 police officers to the border with Northern Ireland to intercept illegal refugees attempting to enter the country.
Ireland has previously said that 90 per cent of illegal immigrants enter Ireland through Northern Ireland.
In this regard, Sunak immediately issued a warning, hoping that the Irish government will not set up checkpoints in the border area between the two countries and establish a "hard border" in disguise, thus violating the Irish government's long-standing commitments.
Since the signing of the Northern Ireland Peace Agreement 26 years ago, Ireland has gradually dismantled the checkpoints set up along the border between the two countries.
Under pressure from the government, UK food delivery platforms have stepped up immigration status checks on riders
Under pressure from the UK government, three food delivery platforms, Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats, will step up immigration status checks for riders.
In November last year, Robert Janrick, then the UK's immigration minister, sent a letter to the three food delivery companies, saying that law enforcement had found a large number of immigrants working illegally in the food delivery industry.
Some food delivery platforms have loopholes in the supervision of riders, they often only review the identity of applicants when they register an account, and relatively little supervision during the use of the account, resulting in a large number of food delivery rider accounts being resold to illegal immigrants.
Therefore, the British government requires food delivery platforms to strictly investigate the illegal work under them.
The identity of the 14-year-old deceased in the British knife murder case was exposed, and a 36-year-old man committed murder with a sword on the street in London
According to a number of British media headlines on the front page today (May 2), the British police recently announced that the 14-year-old boy who died in the murder of Hainault with a sword in northeast London at around 7 am on Tuesday (April 30) was Daniel Anjorin (Daniel Anjorin).
According to the source, a 36-year-old man armed with a long sword was killed in the street, resulting in the killing of the boy on his way to school. At that time, nearby residents had loudly alerted him that someone was violently attacking, but Daniel Anjorin, wearing headphones, did not hear it.
The British police have recently confirmed that the male assailant has been arrested on the spot, and he was subdued by London police officers with a stun gun after the attack. His identity is Marcus Aurelio Arduini Monzo, a Spanish and Brazilian citizen, who has been charged with murder.
The report also revealed that the 14-year-old boy killed this week, the youngest of three in his family, was himself a fan of the English Premier League side Arsenal and enjoyed playing football after school.
The London Borough has approved three new high-rise buildings on the banks of the River Thames
According to the latest news from British media, the government of Southwark in London approved the construction plan for three towers near the Blackfriars Bridge this Monday (April 29).
The £1 billion project by developer Hines UK will reportedly cost a 195-metre-tall office tower and two residential towers of 155m and 95m respectively. According to Hines UK, the 433 homes will be "fossil-free, 100% electricity and net-zero carbon consumption".
Previously, the construction plan was opposed by nearby residents living on Roupell Street in Waterloo. Opponents say the construction of the tower will seriously affect the landscape of St. James's Park.
At present, the construction plan of the project has been submitted to the Mayor of London, who will decide whether to intervene or not.
