Migrant Channel crossings resume after four-week gap
Migrant Channel crossings resume after a four-week gap, with a group of migrants brought to Dover in Kent by the Border Force. December is usually quiet for crossings due to winter weather. The UK government has seen a record number of migrants arriving this year, with ongoing efforts to tackle small boat crossings and discussions on reforms to the European Convention on Human Rights.
