the mp for dover, charlie elphicke, has called on the home office to better control the situation as ban on "unfair" fees charged by lettings agents in england comes into force today, two—and—a—half years after the plan was first announced. it means tenants will no longer be billed for things like viewings or credit checks. but there are warnings rents could be pushed up as a result, as landlords try to make up their lost income. our business correspondent, katy austin, reports. kirsty is happy to call this rented house in coventry home. when she and her partner signed the tenancy, though, there wasn'tjust the first months rent to pay. application fee was 300, deposit 895, i think it was, and then we were put on a six—month contract initially, so £120 to then renew the contract to stay for another 12 months. that's a fairly typical amount, but there have long been complaints about some agents charging far more. there's already a ban in scotland and, from today, there is one in england too. charges like application and referencing fees are now banned. deposits are capped at five weeks

crossing and they are trying to deter migrants from making that crossing from france, but local mp charli elphickehat is what the home secretary sajid javid said he would start to do in december, a new year's day, he cut short his family christmas holiday to return. he declared a major incident and he brought back two border force vessels patrolling the waters between greece and turkey on that very dangerous mic —— dangerous migrant treat and brought it back to the channel behind me to try to deter migrant —— migrants and he said there would be greater cooperation in the waters to dissuade migrants from making that dangerous crossing, and also to disrupt the criminal gangs taking their money and stealing boats and facilitating these very dangerous journeys. from those numbers we saw last month and today with the coast guard saying there are 13 incidents and we know several men have already been brought ashore at dover and are being spoken to by immigration officials, with those numbers starting to climb again, it is safe to say this operation still has some way to go. from dover, thank you. in the

the mp for dover and deal, charlie elphicke, says the government isn't doing enough and needs to getn powell. hello. a quick glance and you could be forgiven for thinking it is the med, glorious blue skies, but it is our own beautiful st ives in cornwall this morning. some sunshine and mediterranean warmth across the southern half of the uk. through the first part of the weekend, at least, that warmth feeding up from iberia. to the north, you can see the paler colours on the chart behind me. rather more average temperatures. and by sunday, we see cooler weather pushing into the west, as low pressure begins to take an increasing influence. however, this afternoon, plenty of sunshine for south wales, through the midlands, perhaps increasingly even into the north east of england too and the temperatures shoot up in that sunshine, perhaps up to 27 across eastern england in the afternoon. that will make it the hottest day of the year so far. further north, much more cloud, drizzly rain, showers for the north—west of scotland and temperatures capped in the high teens. not a bad evening, th
