At least five are dead only hours after the passing of the UK’s controversial migrant deportation bill.
Approximately 100 migrants were rescued while crossing the English Channel, placed abroad a French Navy ship to be taken to the port of Boulogne.
The approved bill aims to deter situations like this, deporting illegal immigrants to Rwanda as a deterrent to those seeking asylum.
UK Correspondent Gavin Grey told Mike Hosking that so far, some 52,000 people have been earmarked for deportation, Rwanda looking to take in only a few hundred.
He said that if the deterrent works, this will be good for the UK, however, there is a backlog and time is running out for Rishi Sunak.
