the home secretary sajid javid's announcement comes after he met with border force and national crime plan to tackle the growing number of migrants attempting to get to the uk. 12 more migrants, including a 10—year—old child, arrived on the kent coast on monday, bringing the total who have attempted to get here since november to 239. this report from vicki young contains some flash photography. kent police examining a vessel bringing the latest group of migrants to the english coast. nine men, two women and a child landed here this morning, saying they were iranian nationals. almost 100 have arrived in small boats over the christmas period. morning, home secretary. the home secretary has been forced to swap his south african holiday for meetings in whitehall, promising to take personal control of the situation. i'm working out ways, with the french, to increase the number of returns that we can make, to also send a very strong message that we will do all that we can, notjust to protect human life, because of course that's the right and responsible thing to do at all times, but also to

sajid javid spent half an hour on board in the kind of calm conditions that many migrants use to makeheir crossing. but mrjavid questioned whether those coming were actually fleeing persecution. if you are a genuine asylum seeker then why have you not sought asylum in the first safe country that you arrived in? because you know, france is not a country where anyone would argue it is not safe in any way whatsoever. but some migrant support groups say those comments from the home secretary are deeply concerning. and that these people should be treated as genuine. they also say that although more than 200 have landed since november, the numbers are minuscule in comparison to those trying to cross the mediterranean. my feeling is that it has been blown out of proportion. in the grand scheme of things, these are small numbers of people arriving from northern france. and they have their reasons for wanting to come to the uk. but although migrant numbers remain small, we flew along the kent coast today to see just how difficult it is to patrol the english channel. this cutter will soon be on
