The UK and France came together today to seal a historic deal that aims to target the small boats crisis placing pressure on the British immigration system.
So far this year, Channel crossings are believed to have reached over 40,000. The deal today is expected to help prevent people from making the dangerous journey to the UK across the channel - often by small boats.
As part of the deal, British staff will be placed in French control rooms for the first time ever. Further measures signed off by Paris include more investment in CCTV, dog detection teams to help keep tabs on ports, and better equipment for officers including drones and night vision devices.
