UK Home Secretary James Cleverly is in Rwanda to sign a new treaty with the east African nation on the government's asylum plan.
The planned policy-first announced in April 2022 - would see some asylum seekers sent to Rwanda to claim asylum there.
But the plan has hit legal setbacks and was blocked in its previous form by the Supreme Court, which called it unlawful amid concerns about Rwanda's justice system.
The government hopes an enhanced treaty and "emergency" domestic legislation - will prevent its scheme hitting more legal obstacles.
