Our lives. Gbviews gbnews. Com gbviews gbnews. Com throughout the course of the show, well be unpacking all the different ramifications of the absolute farce that has been going on in channel for the going on in our channel for the last years , not least how last few years, not least how many of them absconded and many of them have absconded and what some of the possible solutions are, including very shortly, actually shortly, whether it is actually legal the boats back. Legal to turn the boats back. But gb Home Security editor but gb news Home Security editor mark white us now. And, mark white joins us now. And, mark, has been a bad mark, it has been quite a bad day the channel, least day in the channel, not least because number because of the number of arrivals, issue arrivals, but also an issue involving you know, involving a drone. You know, i mean, an incredible day, of course , its because of this course, its because of this milestone that was reached. It was reached very early this morning with the first of these small boats that came across and very soon after, we got an indication that actually this was going to be a bumper day for arrivals. And indeed, so day for arrivals. And indeed, so far , according to our producer , far, according to our producer, 11 small boats have crossed the engush 11 small boats have crossed the English Channel with about 550 people to add to that tally. So now quite a bit over 100,000 at and during the day. Well, astonishing scenes because as these boats were coming over, one of the Border Force Vessels volunteer a catamaran that normally zips from one boat to the other, picks the occupants up and takes them to dover harbour , where it broke down harbour, where it broke down lifeboats had to be called to in act as those rendezvous pick up migrant taxis, as some people are called them. But they picked up the migrants and taken them back. And while they were doing that , there was an incident that that, there was an incident that unfolded off dungeness in which a migrant boat got into trouble. A number of people were in the water for lifeboat boats attended that they pulled a few people from the water. They were then taken to dover harbour as well. And then on that drone , well. And then on that drone, that border force drone you were talking about operating from from lydd airport in kent, one of a number of Aerial Assets s that the border force and coastguard have to monitor from the sky. Those coming across so they know where to put their assets that developed some kind of technical problem and ditched in the sea the very latest as i understand that authorities have now recovered that drone and it will obviously be taken away for examination , whether its still examination, whether its still operational again or whether its just, you know, completely defunct as a sort of an operational drone. Again we dont know. But yeah, an astonishing day on top of just the milestone of 100,000 who have crossed since 2018. Absolutely. And just before i absolutely. And just before i go to my next guest and were going to have a conversation about whether it is legal to turn boats back and what that situation would look like, it is quite difficult to get hold of accurate data when comes to accurate data when it comes to how channel migrants we how many channel migrants we have deported. Have actually deported. Isnt it . Isnt it . Isnt it . Dont think its very yeah, i dont think its very many, to be honest. When we get many, to be honest. When we get reports out from the home office about the people that theyve returned , it tends to be the returned, it tends to be the foreign criminals. So you hear about a thousand or more albanian who have been returned. Will these are the vast majority of them are albanians who have beenin of them are albanians who have been in jail here, who served their sentence and then whove been deported back to albania. The fact is, the vast majority of the 100,000 people whove come across in small boats since 2018 have not yet had a decision on their asylum claims. They are stuck in the system. They are in stuck in the system. They are in the hundreds of hotels right across the country. Some of them are going on the bibby barge, others are going into wethersfield and eventually perhaps to scampton. If the government ever gets out past the courts. So yes , not many the courts. So yes, not many have been sent back. The government say its our aspiration. Of course , to have aspiration. Of course, to have those who are coming across the channel from now on declare it Illegal Immigrants. They passed the law , but they need a third the law, but they need a third country to send them to. If they cant send them to their own country and that third country at is rwanda. At the moment is rwanda. Its rwanda or bust for the government. They bet the house government. They bet the house on it. So they need rwanda, which is currently stuck in the courts to go in their favour. Mark, thank you very much. Mark, thank you very much. Mark, thank you very much.

Richard, thank you very much. In of reform uk. Richard, thank you very much. In your of reform uk. Richard, thank you very much. In your view, of reform uk. Richard, thank you very much. In your view, is it illegal to turn boats back . Illegal to turn boats back . No, completely the opposite , actually. Patrick, good afternoon. It patrick, good afternoon. It is perfectly legal to turn the boats back under a series of different clauses of Different International treaties. And i International Treaties. And i would remind everybody that , of would remind everybody that, of course, one great nation, australia , did back in 2013, australia, did back in 2013, they did exactly that. They pushed the boats back. They had pushed the boats back. They had a frankly, a relatively small illegal migrant crisis compared to that which weve got. They pushed the boats back. Yes, all the usual International Institutions were a bit grumpy and upset and they got a bit of grief from the lefty lawyers. But they did it. But they did it. They sent a clear message. They sent a clear message. And guess what, patrick . The problem has basically gone away. We can use a couple of Key International treaties. First of all, there is the 1974 safe of life at sea treaty. And we can use that. And the second key one is the 1982 United Nations convention of law at sea. What you need, though , at sea. What you need, though, is you need a combination of two things. Patrick first, you need bold leadership from the people who run the country. And who run the country. And secondly, they need alongside them bold
