president macron has said france _ in this way. president macron has said france will— in this way.s way. president macron has. said france will not let the channel become a cemetery. the dangers of these crossings have long been known and yet for some, the risks are still worth taking. these are people getting into boats in france this week. we know the number of crossings has gone up sharply this year to over 25,000 so far. and earlier this month a new record was set when over 1100 people across the channel on a single day. the uk government has repeatedly promised to make this route unviable. so far it has been unable to and some british mps think france needs to do more. it’s british mps think france needs to do more. �* , , , , british mps think france needs to do more. i, _ ., british mps think france needs to do more. _ , ., more. it's simply not credible that 1000 people _ more. it's simply not credible that 1000 people can _ more. it's simply not credible that 1000 people can muster - more. it's simply not credible that 1000 people can muster on i more. it's simply not cred

the french president, emmanuel macron, has accused the uk of not being serious about tackling the migrant crisis. it comes after the uk's prime minister, borisjohnson, suggested france should take back people crossing the english channel. and the england and wales cricket board has published a 12—point, game—wide action plan to tackle racism and all forms of discrimination in the game. it's in response to the azeem rafiq scandal. at ten o'clock, reeta chakrabarti will be here with a full round up of the days news. first, it's time for newscast. so, no adam fleming this week. no, but we have got two very exciting guests. we have. we have got boris. yeah. and the speaker of the house of commons. we have got the prime minister and the speaker of the house of commons. better than that, arguably. we have got a parrot! boris the parrot. so, lindsay, one of many of sir lindsay's pets, perched there upon laura's microphone. i don't know if he is more nervous or i am, what do you think? i can hear it in your voice, laura. you are! he is properly eyeballing me. so, lindsay, boris is a well travelle

in turn, the president thanked macron thank you on behalf of the people and said the restitution of 26orks could only be a first step. the treasures return is the fulfillment of a promise that macon made to africa in 2017. she advised the french government on the restitution project p. >> it's a huge step because it's the first time a colonial power is returning something important and we'll see what the next steps are. what is clear is that this event is comparable to the fall of berlin wall. there will be a before and an after. >> the french public came in droves to say goodbye to the treasures on display in paris over the past weeks. >> it's a big step for france in its dealings with former colonies. >> i think it's very important that africa recovers its heritage stolen in the 19th century. >> with the final formalities concluded, it will arrive later this month 100 years after it left the country. brent: a look now at more stories making headlines this hour. at least 18 people have died in a gold mine collapse in southern niger, the death toll is likely to increase. the incident o

macron's office in their release, press release concerning the meeting saying that macron urged johnsonare banging against the french were not doing enough simply to divert attention from their own problems. but of course is indeed the british position that the french aren't doing enough, and so one detects even in the midst of this tragedy there is a certain degree of tension between the two sides. everyone knows that more has to be done and can agree very easily that the criminal gangs need to be hit harder, but how to go about it is not obvious. 0ne hit harder, but how to go about it is not obvious. one suggestion that we have been hearing about isjoint proposals on french beaches but that has been turned down in the past and i don't see any particular sign the french position that this is a breach of sovereignty, that french police can do it themselves, that thatis police can do it themselves, that that is going to change.- police can do it themselves, that that is going to change. there are some people _ that is going to change. there are some people who _ that is going to change.

borisjohnson and emmanuel macron had what diplomats call a "brush past" at the g20 summit at the weekendbe more accurate. the two leaders were at loggerheads over fishing. unless the uk issued licences to french boats which had been denied them post—brexit, declared president macron, from tuesday, british boats would be banned from landing their catch. the british government warned this would breach its trade and cooperation agreement with the eu. yet, on monday night, paris backed off. stefanie, i was in the studio monday night, when i suddenly saw that the elysee palace had announced it was suspending the deadline and there won't be any action on tuesday. what's the explanation that lies behind that, do you think? it's not quite clear. there have been briefings and counterbriefings. - but what the french were threatening was a pretty big thing. _ not only that they would ban british ships from french - waters, but also that they- might make trade between calais and dover, where most of- the trade goes between britain and ireland and - towards the continent, they might not block it _ bu

obviously i'm scared about the um macron variant. san mateo county supervisor david canopus says those callers have asked about getting boosters after the news of this all macron variant. he says that the next december 7th board meeting, the county should begin preparing in case there's a spike in demand for vaccines or need for a new r macron booster shot. the all macron cases in south africa have mostly been among unvaccinated people on a continent with the vaccination rate of less than 10% we really need to get more of the world vaccinated. new variants come about when there's a low vaccination rate because the virus is allowed to make many copies of this stuff, and it's just essentially gives more chances to develop these kinds of mutations. and so i think it really highlights that we need to get much more of the world vaccinated. and one bit of good news professor rowan says that the current covid pcr tests do appear to be effective in detecting the omicron variant, which makes it easier for health officials to identify and trac
