Are some of those pictures from one attempt that happened just after dawn. The Uk Border Force has brought around 70 migrants to shore, and a dover lifeboat has been launched to reports of another migrant boat in the channel. Andrew harding was on the beach where a boat ran aground and left five people dead. We will speak to him in a moment. First, lets look at what he witnessed as that ill fated crossing began. Shouting. As i said, we canjoin our correspondence now. Andrewjoins us from the north french coast. We just saw some pictures of migrants running towards a boat. They look to be some sort of firecrackers going on at the same time. Can you explain what was happening at that time in the morning . 50. What was happening at that time in the morning .

We have been waiting on the beach for many hours overnight, anticipating that there might be migrants trying to get to see in that area from that speech, and suddenly we heard a noise, and it was the Police Shouting that they had spotted some migrants. We ran with the police and saw about 100, perhaps more, migrants running across the beach. It was damp, the tide had just gone out and they had several hundred metres to run and they were dragging an inflatable. As they were dragging an inflatable. As the police got closer, a fight began as the smugglers and the migrants started bringing out sticks and rods and essentially forming a protective curtain around the migrants to allow them to continue advancing towards them to continue advancing towards the sea, to take their boat into the water. They were Throwing Firecrackers as well, so there were explosions and smoke. The police seemed unable to do anything. They said later that they did not want to interfere. They were children there and it was dangerous. The migrants were already in the water. What happened then was that they got into a boat and we saw it drift slowly just ate few yards off the shore. Some people failed to get onto the boat, failed to clamber into it and came back to shore and walked away. We could quickly tell that there was trouble going on in the boat itself. There were just far too many people trying to squeeze inside this inflatable dinghy. You could see people standing in the middle and what we have since learnt is that we were watching people being crushed underfoot, being suffocated and trampled to death. We heard reports that some people may have drowned but that is not clear. We saw some life jackets in the water and we heard cries. At that time it was not clear what was happening. The boat drifted further out to sea and at the at the moment the police and at the at the moment the police and migrants that had not made onto the boat started to walk back towards the car park and their vehicles. There were rescue boats approaching the boat but at that point we had no sense that anyone was injured. We assumed that they were simply trying to offer help and perhaps push the boat back to shore if it was required, because the boat was not under power. It if it was required, because the boat was not under power. If it was required, because the boat was not under power. It was stalled and drifting was not under power.

We later found authorities that there had been deaths. We laterfound out authorities that there had been deaths. We later found out that it had been the boat that we were filming and we understand that those bodies will have been taken on to the rescue ship. The death toll for migrants is rising sharply this year, and also dangerfor the police. Authorities tell us that over a week ago ten officers were injured in a similar incident to this, which i suspect explains why the police did not try and intervene more aggressively in what we saw. Yes, we were watching pictures earlier of alcoholic who was on the beach further up and the police were keeping their distance at of our colleague. These pictures show the difficulty for the authorities at stopping people getting onto these boats. The stopping people getting onto these boats. ,. ,. Stopping people getting onto these boats. ,. , boats. The police are saying to us we have got boats. The police are saying to us we have got more boats. The police are saying to us we have got more men, boats. The police are saying to us we have got more men, more we have got more men, more equipment, we have got drones and thermal imaging cameras, but we still dont have enough. A lot of that has been supplied by britain with a half £1 billion three year grant that the British Government has been using to support the french police, but the police say that is still not enough, that the numbers of people coming to the coach is sharply rising coming to the coast. Partly this is connected to vietnamese migrants who are suddenly appearing in large numbers, a bit like a few years ago when albanians started to turn up on the coast, pushing the numbers up. That was settled with a diplomatic agreement between albania and britain. It is not clear yet how this vietnamese issue might be solved, but its clearly putting more and more pressure on the authorities here. I should say we are looking at pictures at the moment from dover. There is an Rnli Coastguard Boat which has docked there and there are people being off loaded there, which we understand people who have been rescued by the rnli. Gives a sense that both on the french side and the british side of the channel there is a huge operation ongoing the moment. Indeed. The weather is supposed to get worse in the coming hours, so this was a window, which is why we are here, frankly, because we knew about the window of calmer seas and, weather and we knew there would almost certainly be a push to cross the channel tonight and early this morning. Of course, summer is coming and the weather was likely to improve, and we are likely to see more of these incidents, and as the police here warn many more deaths because of the numbers and the pressure, and critics say because of the increasing militarisation of the coastline, which is pushing migrants to take ever greater risks in their absolute determination to get to the uk, come what may. Absolute determination to get to the uk, come what may. Andrew harding, our correspondent uk, come what may. Andrew harding, our correspondent from uk, come what may.

The Row Safety Bill aimed at sending some Asylum Seekers to the african country was finally backed after a Marathon Tussle between mps and members of the House Of Lords. Rishi sunak said it marked a landmark moment in the efforts to deter illegal migration and end people smuggling. Human Rights Groups have condemned the policy. Rishi sunak said he hoped barring any last minute legal objections that flights to rwanda could begin within 1012 flights to rwanda could begin within 10 12 weeks. The United Nations has subsequently called on the uk to rethink the plan. Un leaders say the legislation would harm human rights and refugee protection. 0fficial and refugee protection. Official figures showed that the backlog of people waiting to leave the uk rose from 1800 injuly last year, up to more than 50,000 a week ago. Henry, i dont know if you saw those pictures but really stark pictures there, emphasising why this has become such a huge political issue and rishi sunak believes this Rwanda Policy is the answer. Policy is the answer. Thats right, and this is policy is the answer. Thats right, and this is why policy is the answer. Thats right, and this is why it policy is the answer. Thats right, and this is why it is policy is the answer. Thats right, and this is why it is a policy is the answer. Thats right, and this is why it is a huge policy is the answer. Thats right, | and this is why it is a huge debate in westminster and in the country at large, it is because nobody believes that the situation with people making that perilous and in some cases fatal journey is making that perilous and in some cases fataljourney is an adequate state of affairs. But where people differ, really quite profoundly, is how to address it. It has been the Policy Notjust of rishi sunak, but of consecutive Prime Ministers, for more than two years now that the way to solve this problem is to have a firm deterrent that makes people not set out on thatjourney across the channel, and the view of rishi sunak, that deterrent is this Rwanda Policy. In the view of the labour party and other opponents of this policy, all that this Rwanda Policy will do is soak up money without actually acting as an adequate deterrent. And that is where the debate is. Yesterday, parliament, via the conservative majority in the house of commons, said that they believe they want to press ahead with the Rwanda Policy and rishi sunak now believes that he can get a flight off, at least one flight, but he hopes many more, to rwanda with an 8 10 weeks. So all the focus now is on whether he is right, whether that plane will take off. If that plane does and you get what we call a regular rhythm of planes taking off to rwanda, does the policy work because why is it a deterrent to situations like we saw today . Exactly, and we were giving figures there are now more than 50,000 people are waiting to have their asylum seeking application looked at. This policy, in terms of flights, we are saying 10 12 weeks for the first like to take off, but even when they do take off, what numbers are we expecting . Its a numbers are we expecting . Its a ve aood numbers are we expecting . Its a very good question numbers are we expecting . Its a very good question to numbers are we expecting . Its a very good question to which numbers are we expecting . It� s. Very good question to which the government has not given a clear answer. There have been some reports that the rwandan capacity to take these Asylum Seekers is really limited. It is notjust limited in the sense of where they would house these Asylum Seekers, although that is one element of it. There is a hostel that is ready for them in kigali and i have actually been there, and it is quite small. It is small compared to the volume of people making the journey across the channel. And then there are some suggestions as well, the Rwandan Government doesnt want too many flights to come too quickly as they get this scheme up and running. Time will tell, really on that. At the view of the government, of course, is that by dint of sending at least some Asylum Seekers to remember, you will stop others making the journey in small boats across the channel. By in small boats across the channel. By the government � s own logic, the goal would be that merely sending some to rwanda should stop the problem more generally and that is going to be one of the tests of this policy if and when those flights do start to take off. It is policy if and when those flights do start to take off. Start to take off. It is a busy day for the prime start to take off. It is a busy day for the Prime Minister. Start to take off. It is a busy day for the Prime Minister. A start to take off. It is a busy day for the Prime Minister. A late i start to take off. It is a busy day i for the Prime Minister. A late night for the Prime Minister. A late night for him last night, but we have seen that he has landed in warsaw. What are we expecting to hear today . The prime are we expecting to hear today . Tue Prime Minister are we expecting to hear today . He Prime Minister has are we expecting to hear today . Tt2 Prime Minister has been speaking to journalists on the plane over there, and im sure he will have said something about the romantic legislation, but also no doubt he will have been asked about what has happened in the channel this morning. More generally, his visit to poland is to underscore the uk � s approach to the war in ukraine. It is about advertising that the uk government and the Western Alliance more generally as the government would see it, stands behind ukraine and i think it is time to partly in response to the massive aid package that the united states, the House Of Representatives finally approved after a long period of parliamentary wrangling over there, just like there has been over here. That, i think, is what this visit is about, but im sure we will hear rishi sunak asked about reminder. Aha, but im sure we will hear rishi sunak asked about reminder. A Busy Da For The Sunak asked about reminder. A busy day for the prime sunak asked about reminder. A busy day for the Prime Minister sunak asked about reminder.

Whether he can talk about the prosecution. The prosecution in this case once donald trump potentially to be held in contempt of court, and to be held in contempt of court, and to be held in contempt of court, and to be fined because he has issued a blizzard of social media posts critical of this case. For donald trump, this is an important moment because he is a federal candidates running for the white house once again, and if Thejudge Today Running For The White House once again, and if the judge today says he is limited in what he can say about this case, he will surely be frustrated, according to sources close to him.
