there are warning signs but dorset council says they often get washed or blown away and not everyones. the marshall family from gloucester are here for their summer holidays, but they�*re keeping their kids away from the cliffs, seeing bits dropping off all the time. did you see that landslide as you were, a few minutes ago? yeah, part of it, yeah. i thought it was going to be, like, fenced off so you couldn�*t go past it, but i guess there isn�*t anything like that. and that�*s partly because the coast is constantly changing. but this kind of landslide, while large, is neither unique nor unexpected. and it�*s not the only place it�*s happening either. hemsby in norfolk has lost metres of coastline this year with homes having to be demolished. the british geological survey says extreme weather means we could see more of this and it�*s working on plans to mitigate the risks for people. here in dorset, the cracks started appearing months ago. these pictures were taken back in january and experts say the risk doesn�*t disappear even after a big landslide. even this low cliff of loose ma

there's a welcome meeting that's been planned by the home office and dorset council that's supposed toll happening, which is quite strange considering as the asylum seekers aren't actually arriving today at all. originally they were supposed to be 50 of them arriving. then we heard it was 25. and then fairly late last night we were told that there are none at all coming today, although apparently they are still coming this week, possibly as early as tomorrow. delay has tomorrow. well, the delay has been with fire safety . been to do with fire safety. we're not exactly sure what the issue is, but we do know that wiltshire and dorset fire service have been providing the home office with various bits of guideline and various advice around this issue. and that really is all we know at the moment. one of the more sensational , sensational moment. one of the more sensational, sensational media outlets said that the problem was that people are very wary, very wary that this could become another grenfell and that putting that many men on one boatis putting that many men on one boat is a recipe

they're following their advice in terms of public health processes, ensuring dorset council's environmentworking with lots of different groups, various public bodies and it must be said, the solution here the uk is amongst the best in the world for scanning these sorts of things. >> we've got a lot of infrastructure left over from covid and during the pandemic the kingdom really the united kingdom was really amongst the best in the world in terms of countries that can terms of the countries that can detect pathogens in water supplies, in sewage, in all sorts of other areas . we do have sorts of other areas. we do have this world class sort of infrastructure. so it could be the and this is purely the case and this is purely pontification, it could be the case that there was this problem with this boat in terms of when it was used by the netherlands, but they didn't detect it. it could be case that the could be the case that the united kingdom just very, could be the case that the unit

we know that dorset counsel to the met council received test results last monday, the day those firstrants were put onto the barge. testing had happened the previous month on the 25th ofjuly put up the water systems were tested for the bacteria. there was already a question over the potential presence of this bacteria when those migrants will put on board on monday. the question is, how quickly did this information that there was the bacteria present and escalate up the chain? on tuesday a home office official was on call with contractors and they were told that tessa come back indicating low levels of the bacteria. government sources say it was a junior official who just sources say it was a junior official whojust happen to sources say it was a junior official who just happen to be on a call and a home office wasn't notified formally. wednesday day uk health security got involved in further tests proved there was sufficient bacteria to justify concern for them on friday the decision was taken by the government to take those 39 migrants off the barge. a complicated and contestant tim

we are protesting the government, the port and the dorset council, and we're protesting their plan. um, there's been inconsistent information throughout this. so many changes is so many. yes, we're doing it. no, we're not. um and now there's only 15 men on the barge when was supposed to be 50. i think that says it all. really um, some of them don't want to come on to the barge, some of them being prevented from , um , them being prevented from, um, um, getting on the barge by my human rights lawyers and people just. the migrants are completely refusing to step foot on there, and i can't really blame them , to be honest. um blame them, to be honest. um this is just, again, just the result of a really shoddy plan. >> but i guess the problem with this is and then some would say against your position is yes, you may very well have a point that this immigration system is not working correctly . we've got not working correctly. we've got this huge backlog . it's got to this huge backlog. it's got to be sorted out . but this huge backlog. it's got to be sorted out. but in this huge backlog
