Small boats situation getting worse, says No 10
The UK government expressed concerns over the increasing number of migrants crossing the English Channel in small boats, with over 1,500 crossings reported last week and a total of 16,000 so far this year. Amid growing tensions, a summit between British and French leaders is planned to address border security issues. The French government is being urged to implement new regulations for intercepting boats, as Labour faces criticisms over its handling of the migration crisis.
