policy inertia. we really need that money out this week, and the government has got to tell us exactly how it will be spent. loath? government has got to tell us exactly how it will be spent. why do ou think exactly how it will be spent. why do you think it exactly how it will be spent. why do you think it has exactly how it will be spent. why do you think it has taken exactly how it will be spent. why do you think it has taken them - exactly how it will be spent. why do you think it has taken them so - exactly how it will be spent. why do | you think it has taken them so long? i don t know. we have been told that the money will primarily go to top up the money will primarily go to top up the wages of domiciliary care workers. let me be clear. i represent the health service, most of this money will end up going, i think, to people who work for local government, but that s fine because we need our local government partners to have greater support so that they can help us. so we th
force itself is in meltdown. the border force, notjust with this problem, but other problems, are having a torrid time and the staff are demoralised and there is the problem of retention and it is not just this issue, there are issues about people coming to the country legally and not leaving. tens of thousands a year, that is happening. so we have problems across the board and it will need a huge effort by the home office and by the home secretary, whoever it might be, in the months to come, to deal with the problem. i can t think of any easy solutions, but the crime networks have to be tackled. have to be tackled. chris hobbs, thank ou have to be tackled. chris hobbs, thank you for have to be tackled. chris hobbs, thank you for coming have to be tackled. chris hobbs, thank you for coming on - have to be tackled. chris hobbs, thank you for coming on the - thank you for coming on the programme. the headlines on bbc news: bbc news has obtained pictures of the conditions inside the m
the united kingdom has left the dublin convention but there are nonetheless ways in which through negotiation with the french, with the belgians, there may be ways to address this particular albania problem. albanians enjoy visa free travel for 90 days across the eu. so this is something that must be raised with our european partners. what is your message, if you have one, to the home secretary today? that she needs to show up and answer some questions. these questions have already been put to her by yvette cooper and by sir roger gale. we know that this is a crisis in part of the home office s making and she needs to tell us how she is going to go about addressing those problems. it s been good to talk to you, thank you, professor.
despite the much colder conditions. this is not a problem that is likely to go away. it is very, very unlikely that anyone will be able to turn off the numbers of people leaving the beaches of france for dover. that doesn t seem to be something that is in control at the moment. in a way, the petrol bomb attack highlighted issues that were very much already there. that s right. the petrol bomb attack in many ways is irrelevant to the crisis at manston. that was already something that was being talked about in the house of commons last week. yes, there were 700 people in the very short term holding facility here at dover when it was attacked by a petrol bomb and they had to be more quickly moved across to manston. but those 700 people just took the numbers at manston from 3300 to 4000. it was designed to take 1600, so it was already more than double capacity.
these are photos that the bbc has obtained of the processing facility where it is believed that around 4000 migrants are currently being housed, although the conservative mp sir roger gale has said he has been assured that 650 will be moved out of manston into hotels and temporary accommodation this week, but that still leaves much more, about 3350 in the processing facility which is about double the number that should be in there at any given time. i m joined now by the former border control officer chris hobbs. very good to speak to you and thanks for coming on the programme. what is the problem here? you had 30 years experience. what is happening? basically the human traffickers are holding sway. it started as a movement from war torn countries, getting them across europe, getting them to france and doing that last step, i call it the last stop on the
