Asked by the BBC if the UK's plan was working and if Rwanda was a safe country for refugees as he attended the World Economic Forum in Davos, Paul Kagame said: "It's the UK's problem, not Rwanda's problem."

Some £240 million has already been committed to the Rwanda plan, with a further £50 million earmarked for next year.
