Ukraine interior minister, others killed in helicopter crash

BROVARY, Ukraine — (AP) — Ukraine's interior minister died Wednesday in a helicopter crash near the capital that killed at least another 14 people, including other officials and three children, authorities said. Kyiv Regional Governor Oleksii Kuleba said 18 people overall were killed, including three children, and that 25 were injured. “For now, we are considering all possible versions of the helicopter crash accident,” he said on Telegram. The crash comes at a particularly dark period in the war for Ukraine, just days after the Russian strike on the apartment building in southeastern Ukraine killed 45 people, including six children — the deadliest attack on civilians since the spring. The forum held 15 seconds of silence after opening the session to honor the Ukrainian officials killed.

Court to rule on UK plan to send asylum-seekers to Rwanda

LONDON — (AP) — Judges at Britain’s High Court are set to rule Monday on whether the U.K. government’s controversial plan to send asylum-seekers on a one-way trip to Rwanda is legal. Under the deal, the U.K. plans to send some migrants who arrive in the U.K. as stowaways or in boats to the East African country, where their asylum claims would be processed. They also cite Rwanda’s poor human rights record, including allegations of torture and killings of government opponents. Critics point out there are few authorized routes for seeking asylum in the U.K., other than those set up for people from Ukraine, Afghanistan and Hong Kong. A surge in arrivals and a U.K. bureaucratic backlog, exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic, has led to many Channel migrants languishing in overcrowded processing centers, where there have been outbreaks of diphtheria and other diseases.

Edi Rama said that the new U.K. The U.K. and France signed an agreement Monday that will see more police patrol beaches in northern France in an attempt to stop migrants from trying to cross in small boats.

France and U.K. sign agreement to curb Channel crossings

PARIS — (AP) — The interior ministers of France and Britain on Monday signed a joint agreement to try to curb migration across the English channel — a regular source of friction between the two countries. The British government has agreed to pay up some 72.2 million euros to France in 2022-2023 in exchange for France increasing its security presence by 40% across sea access points on the coast. French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin and British Home Secretary Suella Braverman signed the agreement in Paris. The pact contains proposals to fight crime across the regular migration routes, with the two ministers agreeing that their countries would harvest information from intercepted migrants to help tackle smuggling networks. “Technological and human resources” including drones could be used on the French coast to better intercept boats, the agreement adds.

Up to 4,000 were staying there at one point this week, with some reportedly detained unlawfully for a month or more. Independent government inspectors said they saw families sleeping on floors in prison-like conditions that presented fire and health hazards. “The government rhetoric since I arrived has been scapegoating migrants, blaming us for the problems of this country. The overcrowding at the Manston center reached a breaking point this week after hundreds of people were moved there from another migrant processing center nearby that was hit with gasoline bombs. The U.K. is a preferred destination in Europe for migrants who speak English or have family connections in the country.

UK minister visits migrant centers to grapple with crisis

LONDON — (AP) — Britain's interior minister visited immigration facilities on England's southeastern coast Thursday as she grappled with an overcrowding crisis at a migrant facility and outcry over her claim that the U.K. faced an “invasion” of asylum-seekers. Independent inspectors have reported migrant children sleeping on floors, with no access to phones or fresh air. They have accused her of blocking hotel bookings to ease overcrowding at the Manston center — claims that she denies. In total, Britain has seen 40,000 migrants crossing the English Channel to reach its shores this year. On Thursday, Braverman visited a migrant center in the port town of Dover, the scene of a gasoline bomb attack on Sunday, but did not answer reporters’ questions.

Critics accuse Braverman of deliberately worsening conditions at Manston by refusing to book hotel rooms for asylum seekers. Just over 48,000 people applied for asylum in the U.K. in 2021, fewer than in Germany, France or Spain. Dozens have died, including 27 people in November 2021 when a packed smuggling boat capsized.

Sunak makes Parliament debut as PM, axes more Truss policies

LONDON — (AP) — Rishi Sunak faced the opposition in Parliament for the first time as Britain's prime minister Wednesday, promising to restore economic stability after his predecessor's tax plans triggered market tumult. Sunak ripped up more of predecessor Liz Truss' flagship policies, reinstating a moratorium on fracking for shale gas that Truss had lifted. Plans for large-scale deregulation of the economy, part of Truss' vision to unleash economic growth, are also under review, Sunak's spokeswoman said. “We will have to take difficult decisions to restore economic stability and confidence,” Sunak told the House of Commons. Sunak also kept in place Treasury chief Jeremy Hunt, whom Truss appointed two weeks ago to steady the markets.

LONDON — (AP) — British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is holding the first meeting of his new Cabinet before facing the opposition in Parliament on Wednesday for the first time as leader. Sunak is seen by Conservatives as a safe pair of hands they hope can stabilize an economy sliding toward recession — and stem the party's plunging popularity. Sunak brought in people from different wings of the Conservative Party for his Cabinet. He faces a backlash for reappointing Home Secretary Suella Braverman, who resigned last week after breaching ethics rules by sending a sensitive government email from a private account. The government has not confirmed whether Hunt’s statement, due on Oct. 31, will be delayed because of the change of prime minister.

In a continuation of "utter chaos" for Britain's Conservative Party, Prime Minister Liz Truss has resigned after just six weeks in office.

Truss served 44 days — the least time a prime minister of the United Kingdom has ever served. 10 three months ago, could run to become prime minister again. Under legislation reintroduced by Johnson in 2022, only the prime minister can call for a snap general election.

Truss faces clamor to quit amid UK government chaos

LONDON — (AP) — U.K. Prime Minister Liz Truss was hanging on to power by a thread on Thursday, after a senior minister quit her government with a barrage of criticism and a vote in the House of Commons descended into chaos and acrimony. A national election does not have to be held until 2024, and under Conservative Party rules, Truss technically is safe from a leadership challenge for a year. Truss faced more turmoil in Parliament Wednesday evening on a vote over fracking for shale gas — a practice that Truss wants to resume despite opposition from many Conservatives. Rumors swirled that Conservative Chief Whip Wendy Morton, who is responsible for party discipline, and her deputy had resigned. On Monday Kwarteng's replacement, Treasury chief Jeremy Hunt, scrapped almost all of Truss' tax cuts, along with her flagship energy policy and her promise of no public spending cuts.

Minister departs UK govt in new blow to embattled Liz Truss

LONDON — (AP) — British Prime Minister Liz Truss described herself as "a fighter and not a quitter" Wednesday as she faced down a hostile opposition and fury from her own Conservative Party over her botched economic plan. Yet the grim faces of Conservative lawmakers behind her in the House of Commons suggested that Truss faces an uphill struggle to save her job. Truss faces another test in Parliament later Wednesday when lawmakers vote on a Labour Party motion seeking to ban fracking for shale gas — a policy that Truss recently approved. Truss' press secretary said the prime minister was “not resigning” and was in a “determined” mood. Cleverly said he understood why colleagues were angry, but said “defenestrating another prime minister” was the wrong thing to do.

Shaken UK Conservatives seek unity after Truss' rocky start

LONDON — (AP) — U.K. government ministers implored Conservative colleagues to rally behind Prime Minister Liz Truss after a disastrous start to her premiership that has left the governing party demoralized and divided. A misfiring economic plan that sparked turmoil on financial markets marred Truss’ tumultuous first month in office and threw her party into disarray. Truss was elected Conservative leader on Sept. 5 and asked to form a government by Queen Elizabeth II the next day, two days before the monarch's death. She wants to reshape Britain's economy through tax cuts and deregulation in a bid to end years of sluggish growth. Lawmaker Nadine Dorries, a backer of the former leader, told the BBC that Johnson's return was “extremely unlikely,” but not impossible.
