The french Interior Minister says at least 12 people have died and two are still missing, after a Boat Carrying migrants capsized in the english channel. Ten of them were female, six of them said to be young girls. Theres been a large Search And Rescue operation under way since this morning. A spokesperson for the french coastguard says 50 people have been saved. All of them were in the water when they were rescued and are now being treated at french hospitals, several in critical condition. The french authorities said many of them are thought to be Asylum Seekers from eritrea. Its understood to have happened off a stretch of coastline between boulogne and calais, the shortest distances from the english coast. Our correspondent Andrew Harding is in boulogne, where an Emergency Care Centre has been set up. French Rescue Helicopters busy once again today, bringing casualties from the sea to the shore. This the scene this afternoon at a harbour in the big Port CityOf Boulogne bodies of stretchers, Port CityOf Boulogne bodies on stretchers, many survivors already taken to hospital for emergency care. This is now the deadliest incident in the channel since november 2021, when 27 people died. Todays incident happened in choppy seas halfway between boulogne and calais, near a headland that juts out towards dover. It appears that a flimsy boat simply tore apart. Earlier this morning, other small boats made it across the channel, people landing here in dover a voyage both illegal under british law and increasingly dangerous. Earlier this year, five people died in one overcrowded boat, including a young girl trampled to death. So far this year, over 20,000 migrants have reached the uk in small boats thats slightly more than at the same point last year. Just last week, the french and British Governments promised tougher and better coordinated action to break up the smuggling gangs. The french authorities have warned that their forces patrolling the beaches are facing growing violence and charities say a more nuanced approach is needed. It needs a much more multipronged approach that of course includes policing and smashing the gangs but critically also includes safe ways for people to reach the uk or to have their case heard before they have to take a dangerous crossing. Meanwhile, the Death Toll this year is already more than double last years a grim trend, but not enough to stop Tens Of Thousands of people from attempting to cross the channel. Andrew harding, bbc news, on the french coast. Tonight, the minister for Asylum And Border security, angela eagle, said that, increasingly, the boats are being filled with many more people than weve seen in past times and that the quality of those boats is deteriorating. You will recall that the Prime Minister was in germany last week to discuss measures to tackle the criminal gangs with the german chancellor. Many of the boats are coming from germany. Nina haase is deutsche welles chief political correspondent. Good to have you on the programme. Why is there a link with germany . What intelligence is there that these boats are coming from germany . {iii is there that these boats are coming from germany . Of course, germany is coming from germany . Of course, germany is a coming from germany . Of course, germany is a country coming from germany . Of course, germany is a country that germany is a country that shares a border with nine countries. We have a long stretch of a green border, if you will, so germany is increasingly also dealing with people who come here via other eu countries, from the balkan route or via the south. So we have temporary Border Controls in place at the moment. It is also because we hosted the arrows, and there is a Pic Discussion at the moment about whether or not these current temporary measure should in fact also be turned into something that is more permanent, because germany is very aware that it is at the core of the European Continent and Keir Starmer, when he was in berlin, he actually talked to 0laf Scholz about their joint efforts to tackle irregular migration and that Britain And Germany need to work more closely together on that. I work more closely together on that. ,. , that. I wonder if there is a political that. I wonder if there is a political moment, that. I wonder if there is a political moment, approaching, because the Prime Minister when he was in berlin last week was saying that tackling these Channel Crossing is critical for him, to seeing off the challenge from reform uk, and of course the chancellor is facing a similar challenge with the afp as We Saw with the election that the weekend. How do you think he is working with a Labour Government on this Post Brexit was yellow i think germany has gotten the message that the uk is not going to return to the eu soon. He said Keir Starmer stress again britain will not rejoin. However, having said that, these two leaders of people were very similar in style, they come from the same political family, from the social democrats, they are very few and far between on the European Continent at the moment so they do get on, so this is a good moment in time to say, ok, lets see what we can do outside of Eu Rules about what we can do in terms of bilateral deals that we can find and lets start by increasing intelligence and Data Sharing for example and lets get down to the bottom of the problem where people exchange information for they embark on those dangerous routes. This is something we Britain And Germany have not worked together in the past, now they have said they want to work on what they call a landmark economic and defence agreement, bilateral one, and of Course Migration is also an issue when it comes to security.

That is a big deal. They campaigned very strongly on that anti Migration Topic and also another party, a new party on the horizon, took away a lot of votes as well, they are also on the anti migration platform, so this is something 0laf Scholz feels he and his partners need to do a lot more, they have already tightened asylum policies, but tonight for example they held Cross Party Talks with the Opposition Parties of that with the conservatives, saying, we need everybody to get on board, there are some a4,000 people here in germany who were actually supposed to leave the country, but Germany Cant Deport 80 of them for various reasons, simply because afghanistan and syria are not countries we want to deport people to, or you can stop having said that, last friday, the very first Partition Flight to afghanistan directly from germany to miss of the government is trying to show they are doing a lot to curb irregular migration very first deportation flight.
