In a groundbreaking move, the UK has returned migrants rescued in the Channel back to France, highlighting increased Anglo-French cooperation on the small boats crisis.

On Wednesday, after a call for help from France, a Border Force Ranger catamaran and an RNLI lifeboat were dispatched from Dover. The French ship PSP Cormoran picked up 59 people, while the British vessel rescued another 13.

Tragically, one migrant died after their small boat deflated near Calais, but the remaining 71 were safely returned to France.

This makes it the first time a British vessel has rescued migrants in French waters and taken them back to France.

Ian Collins speaks with political commentator Theo Usherwood.

    If they were in British waters there's absolutely zero chance they would have been returned to France. Nice spin though
  • @northnsouth6813
    Voters have been saying this is the answer to illegal immigrants for years but politicians are deaf to the wishes of the people.

    REform UK would have been far better in office than labour, at least the country would have stood a chance then
  • @tinamurphy3070
    They weren't in British water, and their boat was sinking . That's why they returned to France, not because of our government
  • @DavesGarden1714
    Border force rescued the immigrants from the channel and returned them to the French boat, and they were returned to France

  • @misteek-55
    They returned 12 people because of a death ...come on ..whilst 100's more were brought across
  • @user-fu5wx1fn6y
    The boat was in French waters. The RNLI got a lot of backlash the last time they picked up migrants in French waters and brought them to England. So well done RNLI for returning them to France
  • @lesley5723
    This might only be a one off, as the border force were closer to France, they had no choice, can't see this happening again.

    God same fake story they were in French waters they asked for help 😮what about the other 317 that landed here 😮
  • @nheather
    We are often told that the UK cannot return immigrants to France because we left the EU - this is true but it is conveniently overlooking another law - International Maritime law which states that a vessel MUST go to the aid of those in distress on the sea and MUST return them to the nearest safe harbour. This is the issue I have with the RNLI and Border Force vessels, not that rescuing immigrants in trouble at sea, they have to do that by law, but that they rarely take them to the nearest safe harbour. If the immigrants are in UK waters then the EU law kicks in and International Maritime Law is consistent. But if they are in French or International waters then they can be returned to France, because it is not conflicting the EU law and may be legally obliged to do so if France is closer. The RNLI, in particular, have been contravening the International Maritime Law, in one case they rescued migrants just a mile off the French coast and then instead of taking them the 1 mile to Calais they brought them 20 miles to Dover.
