We have prepared for this Sunak announced a ramping up of the judicial system to quickly deal with any legal challenges British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak pledged Mon- day that flights carrying asylum seekers would take off for Rwanda in July no matter what as Members of Parliament were set to return a bill legalizing the deportations back to the House of Lords for a fifth time. Flights had been char- tered and will take off in 10-12 weeks, ifs, no Sunak told a news conference, warning that both houses of parliament would sit until his Safety of Rwanda Bill passed, all brought by deportees or human rights groups with block booking of 25 court- rooms and 150 judges with 5,000 sitting days capacity. Detention spaces for potential deportees have been increased to 2,200 and 500 officials assigned to details tasked with escorting asylum seekers to Rwanda. Since being sent to the House of Lords in late January, peers have re- peatedly amended the bill only for the House of Commons to overturn their changes, with the deadlock threatening pledge to the used by people- smuggling gangs to bring tens of thousands of asy- lum seekers to shores annually.
Sunak attacked opposi- tion Labor and Lords for the hold-up saying they had conspired to do every- thing possible to delay the Rwanda scheme under which it is hoped the pros- pect of being sent to the East African country would deter asylum seek- ers from trying to enter Britain without advance permission. Labor peers had not spent weeks holding up the bill in the House of Lords to try to block these flights altogether, we would have begun this process weeks Sunak said. However, Sunak denied he had failed to deliver his promise that flights would begin in the Spring, saying that rather than getting off a single flight that would enable him to say he had met the target he wanted to establish a sustainable pattern of flights regularly taking off for Kigali. A major sticking point is the inclusion in the depor- tation scheme of Afghans who fought alongside British forces, mostly serving as interpreters, during the 15 years they were in Afghanistan from 2001 through 2014. Under the legislation, these men and their fam- ilies are treated like any other asylum seekers or migrants if they arrived in Britain via unofficial, irregular routes.
Labor pledged Monday to fight on and keep send- ing the bill back to the House of Commons until Afghan veterans were exempted. whip voting will be on until an unnamed peer said. The Safety of Rwanda Bill was introduced to parliament in December on the back of a hastily re-negotiated treaty with Rwanda implementing new safeguards after the Supreme Court ruled the previous month that the $175 million deportation scheme was illegal be- cause Rwanda was not a safe country.

Papua New Guinea PM criticizes comment BY NICHOLAS NEHAMAS NYT News Service The Federal Aviation Administration issued a set of new regulations Monday, requiring charter airlines, commuter airlines and air tour operators to implement a Safety Man- agement System. The new rules also apply to certain aircraft manu- facturers.

The Aircraft Certifica- tion, Safety and Account- ability Act passed in 2020 only mandated an SMS for aircraft manufacturers. ruling goes a step further, including the three types of smaller operators. more avia- tion organizations to im- plement a proactive ap- proach to managing safety will prevent accidents and save FAA Adminis- trator Mike Whitaker said in a statement Monday. The new rules also stip- ulate companies with an existing SMS are required to share hazard informa- tion with other aviation organizations in an effort to identify and address potential safety issues.
The regulation comes after the FAA last week implemented safety-relat- ed changes to the rules governing air traffic controllers. Air traffic controllers will now be required to take 10 hours off in be- tween shifts and 12 hours off before a midnight shift, effective in 90 days. A report issued last December recommended controllers be forced to take more time off in be- tween shifts in order to reduce fatigue-related accidents. The administration also expects to hire 1,800 more air traffic controllers by the end of this year. New FAA rule requires safety systems for smaller operators BY SIMON DRUKER UPI.com macon.com/.
