The first flight due to take asylum seekers from the UK to Rwanda was cancelled at the last minute after an intervention by the European Court of Human Rights. Up to seven people had been due to go to the east African country. The government said it would "not be deterred" in continuing with its plans and questioned why the European judges had got involved after unsuccessful legal challenges in the UK. Campaigners say nobody should be forced on a plane until the High Court examines the policy in detail next month. On the Sky News Daily podcast, Kamali Melbourne and political correspondent Mhari Aurora look at the future for the policy and what this could mean for the UK's relationship with the European Court of Human Rights. Plus, government reaction from Work and Pensions Secretary Therese Coffey who says the Home Office is planning for the next flight.Producer: Soila Apparicio Editor: Paul Stanworth
