Published 1 week, 2 days ago
Description
More than 170 migrants have been rescued after a boat crossing the English Channel caught fire.
The vessel left France on Monday night before bursting into flames on Tuesday morning.
Eleven people suffered minor injuries, while an Egyptian national has been arrested.
UK Correspondent Gavin Grey told Ryan Bridge the Government believes its measures are working, with crossings down on last year.
But he says two thousand migrants have successfully crossed the channel in the last fortnight, which Reform UK says is too many.
