On the beach with migrants determined to cross Channel to UK
Sunny weather and calm seas have led to a surge in migrant crossings from northern France to the UK via small boats. The UK has pledged 767 million euros to France over three years to bolster coastal policing, but migrants continue to attempt the journey, having already traversed multiple borders in pursuit of a better life in the UK.
