US EditionPublic Has ‘Every Right to Be Angry’ About Small Boats Crossings, PM Says
- On Saturday, more than 1,190 migrants crossed the English Channel to the UK in a single day, marking the highest arrival this year.
- This surge is partly driven by a loophole in French law that restricts police intervention once migrants are afloat, which the UK is urging France to close.
- British Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said discussions are ongoing with French authorities, who intend to amend the law to allow intervention within 300 metres of the coast.

- This data and diplomatic efforts suggest the UK faces growing border challenges that require swift legal and operational changes on both sides.
