Video: After being shut out of 10 Downing Street, see what transpires


British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his Dutch counterpart Mark Rutte encountered a somewhat awkward moment on the steps of Downing Street, the official residence of Rishi Sunak. The incident unfolded as the leaders, engaged in discussions covering a spectrum of topics, including the Middle East, Ukraine, and the issue of illegal migration, seemed momentarily locked out of Number 10.

A video captured the scene, revealing Rishi Sunak welcoming Mark Rutte, followed by the two leaders posing for photographs. Subsequently, they found themselves facing the closed door, awaiting its opening. A slight confusion arose, prompting Rishi Sunak to place his hands on the door, symbolizing their temporary inability to access the premises. The duo then exchanged positions on the doorstep, attempting to peer into lower-level windows in hopes of attracting attention from the inside, all while the media continued capturing the moment.

After a brief delay, the door was eventually opened from the inside, resolving the amusing yet inconveniencing episode. Throughout this unexpected pause, the leaders had intended to delve into discussions on pressing matters, including the challenges posed by illegal migration, the UK's Rwanda policy, and geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, according to Sky News reports.
