ms meloni dismissed suggestions that sending migrants to albania was a breach of their human rights.ania is italian and european jurisdictions. so either that you believe that european jurisdiction violates the human rights of migrants or i don't know, these accusations i think are completely groundless. what we have done in albania means that these migrants will enjoy exactly the same rights and will have the same treatment that they would have had in lampedusa, for instance, or any other hotspot here in italy. but this will happen in a territory that is not physically located in italy. keir starmer said that the uk would share intelligence with italy in an attempt to stop people—smuggling, and congratulated ms meloni on her success. you've made remarkable progress working with countries along migration routes as equals, to address the drivers of migration at source and to tackle the gangs, and as a result, irregular arrivals to italy by sea are down 60% since 2022. a so i'm pleased that we're deepening our cooperation here, led on the uk side by our new border security commander, w

and also, britain is said to be very interested in the italy albania scheme.in would send asylum—seekers to rwanda where they would make an asylum claim and, if successful, they would be given asylum in rwanda. this scheme is different because it's run by italy — so even though the counsellor and albania will come under italian law, and if the asylum claim is successful, they would be given asylum in italy, it is an attempt by countries to sort of be outside the box to some extent, to solve this problem, and the parish government is said to be extremely interested in how it works. so i think possibly there might be some attempt by britain to try to move more towards this off shoring model, and also britain is clearly interested in how italy has been working with the transit countries, tunisia and libya to try to stop migration at the source. that said, the deals that italy has struck particularly with tunisia to give them more than 100 million euros to try to stop migration has been heavily criticised, even by members of the european parliament who have said t

well, they have a comprehensive scheme with albania, understanding that that balkans route, as well as the channel and the southern mediterranean, are routes which migrants use, so of course, because it has reduced the numbers, we are actually discussing with italy the schemes that they have developed not just with albania but upstream schemes with syria and libya as well. his comments were met with criticism from the shadow home secretary. we've seen fatalities of illegal channel crossings going up, we have seen the numbers coming up, because the very first action of this labour government was to scrap an international partnership which was deterring migrants, we know this because those migrants told us so. this latest incident comes less than two weeks after 12 people including six children and a pregnant woman died when a boat carrying dozens of migrants sank in what was the deadliest loss of life in the channel this year. as the investigation into what happened last night continues, so do the ongoing discussions as to what can be done to prevent further deaths. leigh milner, bbc ne

of course, with albania.o what can our prime minister learn from italy's approach to illegal migration? well, to discuss this, i'm pleased to be joined by the former director general of the uk border force, tony smith. tony, welcome to the show. always an absolute delight. here's my problem with sir keir starmer going to italy. he's already been to germany. they closed their borders and they decided to nick the rwanda deal they decided to nick the rwanda deal. france we pay them half £1 billion every year. we don't seem to get much out of that. and the point with italy , tony, and the point with italy, tony, is that they actually turn boats back. is that they actually turn boats back . they gave ,100 million to back. they gave ,100 million to tunisia. the same to libya. and they've got a 60% reduction in their illegals arriving because they actually tow boats back to africa. i put it to you, sir keir starmer has no appetite to do anything similar with the country where most of our illegals come from. that is

it comes after italy's recent controversial deal with albania to handle asylum claims. in a joint press conference, both leaders underscored their commitment to supporting ukraine and pledged to work together to fight human trafficking and in the us, the suspected gunman in the us, the suspected gunman in the apparent assassination attempt of former us president donald trump, has appeared before a court in florida. ryan routh is charged with federal gun crimes, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and possession of a firearm with and possession of a firearm with an obstructed serial number, reports suggest a secret service agent saw the barrel of a rifle sticking out from bushes on the perimeter of trump's international golf course in west palm beach, according to phone records. routh was in the wooded area near trump's golf course for about 12 hours. trump, who is unharmed , has trump, who is unharmed, has posted on social media saying it was certainly an interesting day . was certainly an interesting day. those are the latest gb news headlines. now it's back

illegal migration, and to see what lessons can be learned from italy's scheme of sending migrants to albania. so far this year, 45 people have died trying to make the journey across the channel. that's the highest number since 2021 and nearly four times last year's figure. just yesterday alone, 800 migrants crossed the channel on 14 boats. the boat got into difficulties off the french town of ambleteuse and was driven onto rocks where it came apart. the rocky shore made the french rescue effort difficult. leigh milner has the latest. it's here on this beach, near the town of ambleteuse, where eight people were declared dead last night after a small boat started to sink not long after leaving the coast of france. translation: the vessel - departed from the slack sector near the town of wimereux. it quickly ran into trouble and appears to have crashed on the rocks directly in front of where we are now. including the eight latest victims, a total of 45 people have now died in the channel this year, the highest reported number since 2021, according to the un's international organisation for migr

will happen in albania. and potentially a scenario is failed. asylum seekers will remain in albania and at the 3rd country . so it's certainly going to look like there's going to be a hodge in stones when it comes to migration into your opinion. because of the, as far as influence and how the mainstream parties are sort of feeling that they need to respond to that by themselves. taking honda positions on the issue, they'll some of your ups, fluoride parties or sympathetic to rush shot. could that impact european support for you crate and christine. so there are huge concerns about that siri, and we're certainly seeing it in the rhetoric a lot of these policies oppose, for example, sanctions on russia. they are vocal about that. they're also questioning the financial commitment that the european union has made to ukraine. this long standing support that europe is really championed in the way of financial support sending weapons. this is something that they're questioning at a time that it resonates with a lot

in a parallel match, georgia beat albania 1:0 on the road.s , after two rounds, georgia leads this quartet with six points. albania and the czech republic have three points to their credit, and ukraine is the last with zero. in... in the third round of the league of nations, ukrainians will most likely play against georgia with rebrov on october 11. if you want positive emotions, watch the games of the youth football team, which quite confidently defeated northern ireland in the match of the eighth round of the qualifying tournament for euro-2025. the first half started with a quick goal by dynamo kyiv winger nazar voloshyn. he brought his team ahead already in the 10th minute, inside the half in the 30th minute, another dynamic player maksym bragarov doubled advantage of the youth team. simply. rate this combination and transfer from yehor yarmaluk. even despite conceding a goal at the end of the match from a penalty and sending off arseniy batagov, the blue and yellow picked up their eighth win in eight matches. this victory means that ukra

first, ismaili equalized in the 66th minute asani brought victory to albania - 2:1.he fact that rebrov's team definitely united the nation is that everyone played badly, both the dynamo players and the shakhtar players, and the legionnaires. we didn't have enough sharpness in the penalty area, that's the problem we had in our game against... romania, we controlled the ball, but we didn't create chances, we didn't load the penalty area, probably because of that i think that albania, as in the euros, they defended very organized, today it was very difficult to break this defense, but even now it is not a question of attack, but of defense, how can we concede two goals out of three counterattacks in the second half. already tomorrow we will play with another devdakh of the first round , the czechs. who lost to georgians 1:4 in tbilisi. we will remind you that the league of nations is another chance to get to the world cup. we hope for the right conclusions after albania. but who advises, this is our youth team. seven games, seven wins and 21 points. 2:1 over serbia with

that is not attributable to the albania scheme because that hasn't started, that is more likely attributable to the work the prime minister has done upstream, with some of the countries where migrants are coming from, the particular details and approach that has been taken. i have made the argument that preventing people leaving their country in the first place is far better than trying to deal with those that arrived in any other countries, so i was very interested in that. in a sense, today was a return to british pragmatism. we are pragmatists first and foremost. obviously a challenge we discussed i have explained at length at the centres in albania, it is italian european jurisdictions so either you believe that european jurisdictions so either you believe that europeanjurisdictions if so either you believe that european jurisdictions if the human rights or i do not know this accusation i think it is completely groundless what we have done with albania means that these migrants will enjoy exactly the same rights and have the same treatment. for instance... this will happen in a territory
