Germany considering copying Britain and doing its own Rwanda-style migrants deal
GERMANY is considering copying Britain and doing its own Rwanda-style migrants deal.
It comes as MPs in the Commons will tomorrow vote on Rishi Sunak’s landmark new Bill to “stop the boats”.
As Europe plunges deeper into a migrant crisis, German politicians are calling for their own version of the Rwanda migrants deal to combat the chaos[/caption]

Sir Keir Starmer is set to order Labour MPs to vote against it.
But senior German politician Joachim Stamp said Berlin should consider a similar plan.
Deporting migrants to countries in North Africa might be the only way for Europe to cope with the migration crisis, he added.
A Home Office source said: “It is understandable our plans are being looked at by European countries.”
A Home Office source said: “All of Europe is struggling with the same migration crisis. The numbers arriving are spiralling.
“It is understandable our ground-breaking plans to send illegal immigrants to safe other countries – like Rwanda – are being looked at by European countries.
“And it appears they are already looking at it in Germany.
“The people of Europe will not stomach mass illegal migration and chaos at their borders for much longer.”
Mr Sunak has staked his political career on stopping the boats.
Over 45,000 migrants arrived on dinghies last year and there are predictions it could rocket to 80,000 this year.
The Bill would deport all Channel migrants and ban them from claiming asylum.
Keir Starmer refuses to rule out copying Nicola Sturgeon’s gender self-ID plan if he gets into No10
SIR Keir Starmer yesterday refused to rule out copying Nicola Sturgeon’s gender self-ID plan in England if he gets into No10.
The Labour chief insisted it was “not a priority” but declined to say whether he would echo the controversial Scottish bid to make it easier for people to change their legal sex.
It came as Sir Keir swerved trying deep-fried Mars Bar on a trip to Scotland – in a bid to avoid an Ed Miliband-style bacon sandwich meltdown.
Critics of the planned SNP law say it would allow predators to take advantage of the looser rules to gain access to female-only spaces like changing rooms or prisons.
Rishi Sunak has halted the Scots bid and pushed SNP chiefs to change it.
Labour is split over the trans policy, with some fearing a voter backlash if they pursue it in England.
Asked by The Sun for a Yes/No answer on whether he’d introduce self-ID for England if he gets into No10, Sir Keir said: “It’s not a priority for the Labour Party.
“I’ve made absolutely clear what my priorities are, the five missions that I set out.
“We will inherit a very badly damaged United Kingdom, a badly damaged economy, public services absolutely on their knees, if not on their face, and living standards that have been at best stagnant for well over a decade here in Scotland, and across the United Kingdom.
“So I’m very clear what my priorities are going into government.” But his aides cut off further questions about whether he would push ahead with the policy.
The fallout from the SNP gender move – and male-bodied trans rapist Isla Bryson initially being sent to a women’s nick – is widely credited with Ms Sturgeon’s decision to quit last month.
The Scottish Bill aimed to allow anyone aged 16 or over to change sex on their birth certificate in a six-month process, simply by signing a legal declaration.
Sir Keir also claimed the SNP was “falling apart” following Sturgeon’s shock resignation – and insisted only Labour could bring real change.
But he said he wouldn’t make the mistake of scoffing a deep fried Mars Bar on camera – in a nod to Ed Miliband’s infamous bacon roll incident in 2015.
He said: “The first day I became Labour leader, I was given very good advice, which is: Never eat on camera. And I’m not going to break that advice today.”

Boston Dynamics sues rival Ghost Robotics for allegedly copying its robot dog
Competition in the robot dog market is getting ugly. As The Robot Reportexplains, Boston Dynamics is suing Ghost Robotics for allegedly infringing seven patents linked to its Spot quadruped. The Spirit 40 and Vision 60 (shown above) purportedly borrow key technologies from Spot, including systems for self-righting and climbing stairs.
Boston Dynamics says it asked Ghost Robotics to review Spot-related patents in July 2020, five months after the launch of the Spirit 40. After that, Boston claims to have sent two cease-and-desist letters asking Ghost to stop marketing its robot canines. Ghost was thus well aware of what it was doing, according to the lawsuit.
We’ve asked Ghost Robotics for comment. In a statement, Boston Dynamics claimed it “welcome[s] competition” but would crack down on companies violating its intellectual property rights. The Hyundai-owned firm is seeking unspecified damages as part of the suit.
A lawsuit like this isn’t unexpected. Boston Dynamics initially focused on research, but it has increasingly turned to commercializing robots like Spot and Stretch. Rivals like Ghost Robotics could pose threats to Boston’s still-young business, whether or not they’re copying technology in the process. Even if the suit fails, it could deter other companies from making robot dogs of their own.
