Over in the UK, the Government has launched a crackdown on illegal immigrants.
The Labour-led Government has revealed that since they came to power, they have deported 19,000 people out of the UK - including failed asylum seekers and illegal immigrants.
UK correspondent Enda Brady says this may have been inspired by Nigel Farage's Reform Party - which is seeing a significant boost in the polls.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now again to Inde Brady, a UK correspondent in the
good evening.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
To you, Hey, Ryan, good to speak to you again.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
Good to speak to you too. So the UK getting
even taffer on deporting illegal immigrants, what's the lightest there?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
So what's behind this is the rise of the Reform
Party led by Nigel Farage and he obviously every time
he speaks pretty much speaks about migrants, immigration, the state
of the country and how the government is failing on this.
So what really I think is driving Starmer and pushing
their hands the fact that Reform in the most recent
(00:33):
national poll went one percent above Labor reformerund twenty five percent.
Now this is a party with only five members and
yet everyone's talking about them. They get a lot of
media coverage. So overnight what we've seen is the UK
government announced that since Labour came to power last July,
they have deported nineteen thousand people out of the UK,
(00:55):
from failed asylum seekers to illegal immigrants, people who've come
across those dinghies from France and foreign criminals who've been
released from prison, and Labor are saying that this is
the highest this figure has been in this short space
of time for about eight years, so they're claiming the
credit for that. And in addition, they've also released a
video on social media showing someone arriving in the UK,
(01:19):
someone getting detained at a property and then put on
a jet back to their home country, basically the journey
of an illegal immigrant. So Labor making the point that
they are making progress on this but obviously not quick
enough for Nigel Farage.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Now calling it feeble. And because I was writing an
article the other day, they were around six hundred thousand.
Were in estimates of six hundred thousand illegal migrants in
London alone at the moment.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yes, yes, And what we're seeing is, you know, the
government going rounding up a couple of dozen people who
work in nail bars and then releasing this in the media.
You know, yeah, it's a huge, huge problem here. But
I think what they need to be doing is cracking
down on the businesses and the criminal enterprises who are
making money off these people's backs. You know a lot
of these people are it's modern slavery in some cases,
(02:10):
and what we need to see is a far more
joined up approach from all the authorities to crack down
on the people who are making millions and millions every
week off the back of these people.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
The EU's saying they're going to fight back against Trump's
terraces and kiss Damer you're saying, well, we're not joining you.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
You're on your own, Yes, precisely that. So this is
a very awkward situation now where France and Germany are
very much on the same page. Schultz and Macron have
both come out this morning and said, okay, you put
twenty five percent tariffs on European steel, and our steel
going into America will do the same, and everything that
comes out of America with stealing it. A Starmer has
(02:48):
been trying to build bridges, build a relationship with Trump
and not fall out with him. British steel, with the
British steels on its knees as it is, I mean,
this would be not the final nail in the coffin.
This will be pushing the coffin into the incinerator in
the crematorium if we end up with twenty five percent
tart some British steel. So Starmer is at pains to
(03:10):
avoid upsetting Trump and hoping that they can negotiate some
sort of exemption. Apparently Australia is getting an exemption because
Trump fields they have a trade surplus and that the
Australians are not causing the Americans a problem. So I
think Starmer will be doing anything he can to avoid
twenty five percent tax being whacked on British steel.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Yeah. Absolutely, And you can understand why still mystery around
the deaths of this British couple have been found in France.
What do we know about what's happened or the latest theory.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
So this is Andy and Dawn Cyle. They were living
in a tiny little hamlet, not even a village, tiny
beautiful little hamlet about two hours north of Toulouse in
southern France, and they were both found dead over the weekend,
huge police investigation. Dawn Cerl was found beaten to death
outside the proper and her husband was found dead inside
(04:02):
the property. Now the police theories range from was it
a murder suicide? Their friends are saying there's categorically no
way they killed each other, or one or the other,
you know whatever. Their friends are saying they were happy,
very very happy, no financial problems, and they were living
their best life in France. They'd learned French. They had
many friends in the area and they've completely integrated themselves
(04:25):
into a beautiful part of southern France. So their friends
are saying that quite clearly they've been murdered. Now one
theory police are looking at in France. Andy Cerrle, when
he worked in the UK, was a financial crimes investigator
and French police are wondering is it some criminal in
the UK who has tracked him down. But people in
the banking world they're saying, actually, all this kind of
(04:48):
financial crime investigation is quite anonymous and criminals would never
know who was investigating them anyway, because it's all done
behind computer screens. So right now it is a mystery.
Areas sealed off and French police in charge of the investigation.
But families devastated at the loss of two fine people.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
It's awful and you did you would hope for some
quick answers for those family members too, and to thank
you very much for that love you To have you
on as always into Brady are UK correspondent.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
