Of calais on tuesday morning. Authorities have also been carrying out several search and rescue operations at sea, linked to other attempts to cross the english channel. Within just a few hours of the bill going through, the bbc witnessed migrants on multiples beaches trying to get onto boats to cross the english channel. These are some of the pictures from one attemptjust after dawn. The Uk Border Force has brought around 70 migrants to shore and a dover lifeboat has been launched after reports of another migrant boat in the channel. Our correspondent Andrew Harding was on the beach where a boat ran aground and left five people including a child dead. Lets ta ke lets take a look at what he witnessed as that elevated crossing began. Ill fated crossing began. That does give you a sense of what it must have been like in the early hours of this morning when those migrants were going towards that boat. A short while ago i spoke to andrew about what he witnessed on the beach. This andrew about what he witnessed on the beach. ,. , ,. ,. , the beach. This was before dawn, we had been waiting the beach. This was before dawn, we had been waiting on the beach. This was before dawn, we had been waiting on the the beach. This was before dawn, we had been waiting on the beach the beach. This was before dawn, we had been waiting on the beach for i had been waiting on the beach for many hours overnight anticipating there might be migrants trying to get to see in that area on that beach, and suddenly we heard a noise. It was the Police Shouting that they had spotted the migrants and we ran with the police and so about hundreds, perhaps more than 100 migrants running across the beach. The tide had just gone out, they had several hundred metres to run it the sea, they were dragging an inflatable and as the police got closer, a fight began as the smugglers of the migrants started bringing out sticks and rods and essentially forming a protective coating 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. There were explosions and smoke, the police seemed unable to do anything. They said they didnt want to interfere, that was children there, it was too dangerous and the migrants were already in the water. What happened then was they got into a boat and we saw it drift slowly, just a 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. But we could very quickly tell there was trouble going on in the boat itself, there were just far too many people trying to squeeze inside this inflatable only and you could see people standing in the middle, and what we since learnt is we were seeing people are certainly being trampled to death. We have heard reports some people may have drowned, that is not clear. We saw some life jackets in the water. We heard some cries. At that time it was not clear to us what was happening, it felt likejust time it was not clear to us what was happening, it felt like just a melee of people trying to fight for a spot on the inflatable. And the boat drifted a bit further out to sea, at which point the police and the migrants who had not made on the board the boat started to walk back up board the boat started to walk back up the beach towards the car park and their vehicles. We could see some small rescue boats from a much bigger french rescue ship starting to approach the boat, but at that point we still had no sense anyone was injured. We assumed they were simply trying to offer help, about to push the boat back to shore because the boat was not under power. It was installed and drifting. Power.

I think the bill is a radical approach to try and deal with what happened approach to try and deal with what happened in the Supreme Court last year, happened in the Supreme Court last year. We happened in the Supreme Court last year, we are in essence the court said there year, we are in essence the court said there was a problem, that peopie said there was a problem, that people could be sent back to their country people could be sent back to their country of people could be sent back to their country of origin from reminder. I think country of origin from reminder. I think a country of origin from reminder. I think a lot country of origin from reminder. I think a lot has happened since then, there think a lot has happened since then, there is think a lot has happened since then, there is no think a lot has happened since then, there is no treaty that the British Government have agreed with rwanda, which i government have agreed with rwanda, which i think commits a reminder to a lot of which i think commits a reminder to a lot of changes that should stop that risk, a lot of changes that should stop that risk, and i think answers the points that risk, and i think answers the points that that risk, and i think answers the points that are being raised today about points that are being raised today about alleged breaches of international law. I think it was the Duty International law. I think it was the duty of parliamentarians like me to give the duty of parliamentarians like me to give this the duty of parliamentarians like me to give this bill a good look and to make to give this bill a good look and to make sure to give this bill a good look and to make sure it was in a sound place possible make sure it was in a sound place possible legally in order for it to work possible legally in order for it to work i possible legally in order for it to work. I was concerned about making sure the work.

That is the former conservative justice former conservative justice secretary. 0ur chief Political Correspondent had this update from westminster. That is why this is such a huge debate in westminster and of course in the country at large is because nobody believes that situation with people making that perilous and in some cases fatal journey people making that perilous and in some cases fataljourney is an adequate state of affairs, but where people differ really quite profoundly as how to address it. It has been the Policy Notjust of rishi sunak but successive conservative Prime Ministers for more than two years that the way to solve this problem is to have a firm deterrent that makes people not set out on that journey. Deterrent that makes people not set out on thatjourney. In the view of rishi sunak that deterrent is this policy. In the view of labour, all this policy will do is soak up money without actually acting as an adequate deterrent. That is where the debate is. Yesterday Parliament Via the conservative majority in the House Of Commons said they believe they want to press ahead with rwanda policy. Rishi sunak believes he can get a flight off, at least one flight, but he would help many more to rwanda with an 8 10 weeks, and so are the focus now is on whether he is right and whether that plane will take off, and if that plane does and you get what he called a regular rhythm of planes taking off, does the policy work and do what rishi sunak wants it to do . Is it a deterrent to situations like today . We were given the figures that have risen sharply, more than 50,000 people are waiting to have their Asylum Applications looked at. In this policy, 10 12 weeks for the first like to take off, even when they do take off, what numbers are we expecting . It is they do take off, what numbers are we meeting . They do take off, what numbers are we expecting . It is a good question to which the we expecting . It is a good question to which the government we expecting . It is a good question to which the government has we expecting . It is a good question to which the government has not i to which the government has not given us a clear answer. There has been some reporting that the rwandan capacity to take these Asylum Seekers is really limited. It is not just limited in the sense of where they would house these Asylum Seekers, though that is one element. There is a hostel that is ready for them in kigali, which we have seen lots of footage from. I have been there. And it is quite small, it is quite small compared to the volume of people Making Thatjourney across the channel, and then there are some suggestions the Rwandan Government doesnt want too many flights to come too quickly as they get the scheme up and running. Time will tell on that, but the view of the government of course is that by dent of sending at least some Asylum Seekers to reminder, you will stop others making the journey in small boats across the channel. By the logic of the government, the goal would be merely sending someone 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 start to take off. , and when those flights start to take off. , and when those flights start to take off. ,. ,. , off.
