Home Secretary Suella Braverman and French minister pledge to tackle people-smugglers
BBC South East reporter
The UK and France have pledged to "destroy" the business model of people-smuggling gangs after at least four people died when a migrant boat got into difficulty in the Channel.Thirty nine people were rescued from freezing waters on Wednesday. Home Secretary Suella Braverman and her French counterpart Gérald Darmanin said this highlighted the need to jointly prevent the crossings.
A charity which offers support to migrants in Calais, Utopia 56, said on Wednesday it had received a voice message from a man believed to be on the sinking boat. As babies could be heard screaming in the background, he pleaded: "We have a problem. Please help. We have children and families in a boat. We are in the water."
