i have already improved maritime tactics including boat turnarounds for border force to deploy.onal crime agency are taking every level to take down the people smuggling gangs, and once again, however, we cannot do it alone. we continue to work closely with the french to prevent crossings. more than 20,000 have been stopped this year, which i think are members of this house should recognise the magnitude of the illegal migration crisis we are seeing. we have dismantled 17 organised criminal groups and secured over 400 arrests and 65 convictions, but this crisis continues. clearly demonstrating we need to do more together. this is a complicated issue when there is no simple fix. it does mean a herculean effort and it will be impossible without close cooperation between all international partners and agencies. i also urge colleagues to reconsider their opposition to the nationality and borders bill, because it's an essential element in finding a long—term solution to what is a long—term problem that successive governments have faced over decades. as we mourn those who have died in

there are check points earned by military border force and police. and throughout this friday you can see signs that people have passed through very recently. here is a thermal blanket on the floor. next, just over there, we have her some medicine. we have some clothes that people have changed out of. and what it shows is that no matter how many forces and how many are, are border forces are on that, are on that border with better roost. people are still making it across, they're determined to get into poland and the european union. and across this forest, we could take, 020 steps in that direction or to the right of me. we found clothes, paperwork, medicines, thermal blankets and signs that people are continuing to make it through. sometimes it's spent a week, a few days, a number of weeks hiding inside the forest as they attempt to make it in to the european union. we've also heard from nato's secretary general, who says the situation is deeply concerning. the situation out the border o belarus with polen, but also littering are and the latter is d

now the book polish border forces said that some, all the groups have been trying to get in to poland overnight. and in fact we were standing now. we had visited this area just a few days ago and we had found belongings of people that clearly pass through here are managed to get past a border. now, there are some military behind the desk because a group of individuals that had managed to cross the border from by the route into poland. and there had been found not so far from here in the forest. now, so far, politically, what's taking place is that the russian president, vladimir putin has had a conversation with his brother russian counterpart to alexander lucas shanker and he has dressed a need for minsk to cooperate with the european union. now the president of valerie's is also had a conversation with german chancellor angler merkel. and what he offered was for the european union to create a humana carrion pathway from by the roost to germany. and then by the roost would help sent back 5000 people that were willing to do so. now the european union rejected that along with germany.

the french today ruled out the idea of having british police or border force officers operating on theirnty. progress has been made, 20,000 crossings have been stopped so far this year. but we will continue to work with the french in partnership to ensure that we can avert tragedies, as we saw yesterday. once the dinghies are in the channel, the options become much more limited. spotter planes and patrol vessels can monitor the boats, but without the cooperation of those aboard, intervening at sea could be extremely dangerous. a uk tactic, trialled this year, is to push migrant boats back into french waters, but given yesterday's deaths, that's unlikely to be a solution. people who voted to take back control have every right to ask the question, if you can't protect the integrity of your borders, what can you control? police on both sides of the channel have been working to break the smugglers' chain. earlier this month, french and uk officers arrested 18 people for supplying boats to the smuggling gangs. we've got to improve our law- enforcement here because the people smugglers, the tr

many people ask whether border force can turn migrant boats around in the channel.r that lives won't be put at risk. it strikes me that it's potentially in breach of maritime law. and if i was a captain of a ship or a border force official trying to attempt this sort of manoeuvre, i'd be very worried that if a boat capsized and someone drowned, i'd be potentially gripping the brass rail in the dock. some people have questioned why the uk isn't processing asylum—seekers in another country, as is the case in australia. the home office has introduced new legislation to make this possible, but so far, no agreements have been made. all of these solutions take a lot of money, i land it would take a lot of money| to pay the receiving government, to build the infrastructure, - to staff it, but it's certainly not a quick fix, it's not an easy fix and it's not cheap. - 0thers ask why we don't set up new legal routes for people to reach the uk safely, without having to take to the water at all. the government argues france is a safe country and says people should claim asylum

border. at the same time, there are evidence that belarus and forces are beating up people at the border. are forcing people to stay at the border and not allowing people to go back to minsk or return home if they wish. unfortunately, it looks like migrants are trapped between the two sides. there are a lot of women and children among them. the eu tried to pass some humanitarian aid but unfortunately, the belarus inside is not very cooperative. on the others, belarus tried to provide very limited assistance but definitely it is also in the interest of alexander lukashenko to make sure the situation is as bad as possible to pressure the european union to give him some political concessions. unfortunately, he is not very much concerned about the plight of the migrants and potential laws of human rights. there are reports that some people have been moved to some makeshift facilities to provide coverage. the eu is also trying to work with the international organization currently in belarus. >> three people have been killed in a double suicide bombing in the ugandan capital. an explosion took

polish border forces and polish military are saying they do believe some of the migrants in those campsnd tried to cross the border into poland, they've gotten help from the belorussian security forces and being instigated by the belorussian security forces. we've seen text messages saying belorussian security forces were trying to get them to attack the border fence and also army men with the goods to do that as well. so certainly some of those claims that poland has put out there seem to be bolstered by some of the information that we are get thissing as well. the polls are also saying belorussian security forces are actively involved in trying to get some people to break through the border wall. it shows a belorussian military vehicle tried to tear down the fence and using strobe lights on people on the other side of the border. the poles say they are taking it seriously and are continuously bringing assets in. there are a lot of military bases that have strung up here. the poles remain firm and then you can see that the european union has scored what might be some smaller victories

are beat to not the people at the border that they're forcing people to stay at the border and not allowing people to go back to me and to return back home if they wish to. so unfortunately, it looks like cra, migrants are trapped between the 2 sites. now, the europeans have expanded sanctions imposed on the regime of better russian president, alexander lucas shanker. but is this likely to make any difference to his behavior? suggestion is that flights will possibly increase in less that i stopped in the home countries, but basically there are likely to be more people heading to the border in the winter months. and could that mean, could that mean more das, the european union definitely knows that it needs to address to situations at the same time. on the one hand, it knows that it needs to leave a human suffering and provide for money or in a humanitarian assistance to people who ended up in this very unfortunate situation in this atrocious succession. that over the lead for the loss of life. and what your opinion is trying to do is exactly to

border. what is the significance of the poland side here deciding to use force to stop these migrants from crossing over the border? >> well, this has been brewing for sometime. and as you could see from matthew's report, it's gotten pretty chaotic. behind that is a pretty deeply cynical ploy by alexander lukashenko, the leader of belarus. you will remember that last summer he lost an election, then exiled the -- his opponent who would have won, has jailed journalists, opposition leaders, and has been subject to a lot of western sanctions. and so what he appears to have done is invite a number of middle eastern migrants, about 2,000 or more, to these camps and literally flew them on belarus airlines into minsk. dumped them on the border of the european union. if you don't loosen the sanction on us, we will be a conduit for migrants to come your way. it's eventually -- >> obviously the migrants are the ones caught in the middle of this. >> yes. >> there are small children there, there are babies, there are toddlers. but what's the off ramp? it doesn't seem there is any side backing down here. it see

but the home office won't expecting numbers anything like that, and the border force. 1000 people traumatised, vulnerable, and desperate, including, i am told, at least one pregnant woman, forced to sleep on the floor. cooking, washing, and toilet facilities have proved totally inadequate for the demand over the last week. these migrants appear to be complaining they haven't had enough to eat. we have hundreds of people sleeping on a concrete floor overnight. there is limited sanitary facilities. there is no way to get them hot food. it was never designed to be used in the way it is now, but there is no way to move these folk onto their next destination. the entire system is broken from end to end. the home office had expected the numbers making the perilous journey across the channel would fall in the autumn, but calm and mild conditions have actually seen record numbers attempt to reach the kent coast in small vessels. yesterday, french authorities stopped seven boats but 33 reached uk waters despite a government commitment last year to make the route unviable. we've
