massively overloaded. i mean, even a dinghy of that size, it's really playing with danger. when the weather is calm, you can stand on top of those famous white cliffs of dover and see the border force and rnli bring groups of migrants to shore. some channel watchers even have clickers and literally count people in. it's become a very visible thing, which helps explain why politicians have become so exercised by the issue. so far this year, around 13,000 migrants have arrived by small boat, but that figure is dwarfed by the number of migrants coming legally. last year, net migration, the difference between the number of people arriving in the uk and leaving, stood at 685,000. at this cafe in dover, migration in all its forms is certainly a hot topic. if they didn't let them in the country, you wouldn't have the problems we got. what problems? erm, housing, cost—of—living and everything like that. there's too many of them being brought in on our money, really. it's been going on for such a long time and nobody�*s solved it. the cafe�*s owner, heather horne, used to work looking after child asylum—seekers. she thinks politicians are too quick to scapegoat. i think they use the immigrations to deflect real problems that we have in england. such as? as homeless people, rates, the price of everything. rishan, who came to the uk in the back of a lorry aged 17 and now has uk citizenship, is preparing to vote for the first time in a general election. now training to be a nurse, she says all the focus on immigration, particularly illegal immigration, can be dehumanising. it's always on the negative side. it's always in the way of the illegal, illegal, as if someone comes as a refugee is being like a criminal or trying to do something different than what it's supposed to be, rather than human, basic things than just someone seeking safety in this country. so i guess it gives me a feel of upsetting and annoyed. the main political parties agree that people should not be risking their lives in the channel on small boats. immigration is an issue, perhaps more than most, where there appears to be clear blue water between the parties. simon jones, bbc news. air travel is booming again and, this summer, passenger numbers are finally expected to be similar to those before the pandemic. but there has been significant disruption in recent years, including air traffic chaos on the uk's august bank holiday last year. 0ur transport correspondent katy austin has been looking at what the industry's doing to ensure it can cope with the number of travellers expected in the coming weeks. everyone wants to make memories on holiday, but not ones like these. we've just been told that our flights have been cancelled. just not being given any information as to whether or not we're even flying today. last august bank holiday, an it failure at the uk's main air traffic services provider, nats, left three quarters of a million passengers facing cancellations or delays, there was a power cut at manchester airport last weekend. after the quiet pandemic times, air travel this summer is expected to be pretty much as busy as it was in 2019, despite higherfares. most flights happen absolutely fine, but there's not much spare space in the system, so if something does go wrong, it can have a big impact very quickly. this place plays a crucial role. the control centre in hampshire, where much of the uk's air traffic is managed. so over here we have heathrow airport. final approach. it was here that the it failure happened last august. nats insists the same problem won't happen again. with airlines and airports, and it's as well—resourced as it can be for the summer. it is as well resourced as it can be for the summer. the priority has absolutely been in making sure that we're ready for the demand that's coming in the summer. there is no organisation that can confirm nothing will happen, whether it's a weather event or a technical event or somebody else�*s technical event. but what i can say is communication is absolutely key to make sure people know what's going on and that we manage the recovery of any issue or event as quickly as possible. for airlines, strengthening their operations to minimise the impact of any problems, whatever the cause, is the big focus. including easyjet. we control all of our flying from here. so for all of the uk, all of europe, all of switzerland, it's all controlled here. we were allowed in to its new control centre at luton, where several teams, including crew rostering and maintenance, have been brought together. putting in every kind of resilience measure we can think of. so everything that we've learned from the past, everything that we learned from last year, things that we learnt from pre—covid. so looking at making sure we've got enough standby crew, making sure we've got plenty of standby aircraft and they're in the right places, making sure we've got gaps in the programme so that we can pick up any delays that are happening. extra customer service staff are also being introduced at bigger airports. it's impossible to prevent any problems happening. the industry hopes it's done enough to cope with whatever comes along and recover quickly, so it can be a summer to remember for the right reasons. katie austin, bbc news. a new portrait of king charles wearing military uniform has been released to commemorate armed forces day. the publication of the image coincides with a video message from queen camilla, who's released a rare national statement paying tribute to the efforts of the

impact military life has on your loved ones. you too are heroes. in times of war and in times of peace, whether seen or unseen, our armed forces support and strengthen our nation. you're a source of
