"UK's Sunak Defends Controversial Rwanda Migrant Plan Amid Party Divisions"

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is facing a challenge from his own Conservative party over his plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda, with his immigration minister resigning and doubts over whether he can get the legislation through parliament. Sunak appealed to his party to support the bill, stating that going any further would risk Rwanda abandoning the deal. The plan is part of the government's strategy to deter illegal migration, but it has faced legal challenges and criticism over human rights concerns. Some Conservative lawmakers have suggested a leadership challenge against Sunak, who is already trailing in the polls ahead of an expected election next year.
