Failed Iraqi migrants to be sent back under new returns deal
Failed Iraqi migrants are to be sent back to their home under a new returns deal. The new agreement signed by Dan Jarvis, the security minister, will establish formal processes to fast-track the return of Iraqis with no legal right to be in Britain. It will also apply to convicted Iraqi criminals. Attempts to return Iraqis have been hampered in the past by asylum seekers claiming to have lost their ID documents, which appeals tribunals have accepted makes their repatriation too dangerous. Even when the substantive basis of their claim has been dismissed, they have been allowed to stay in the UK because of the risks to their lives if they tried to travel across Iraq without documents. The new deal follows an agreement negotiated in the autumn by Yvette Cooper, the Home Secretary, for British crimefighters to be stationed in Iraq to target the heart of the Channel people-smuggling gangs' operations. Iraqi-Kurdish gangs control most of the beaches and camps in northern France, meaning the National Crime Agency (NCA) wanted to ramp up its operations in the people smugglers' home towns. The agreement committed the British, Iraqi and Kurdish regional governments to joint operations to arrest and prosecute the kingpins behind the smuggling gangs based in Baghdad, Erbil and other towns. The gangs control the smuggling networks from Iraqi Kurdistan through Turkey, where the boats and engines are put together after being imported from China, to Germany, where the dinghies are stored, to the beaches in northern France from which they are launched. The Home Office said the number of Iraqi nationals arriving by small boat to the UK had fallen substantially to 1,900 in the year ending this March, down from 2,600 in the previous year, Officials said this demonstrated the effectiveness of upstream cooperation and efforts to tackle illegal migration at source through diplomatic engagement. 'Trust and cooperation' with Iraq Mr Jarvis sealed the new deal during a two-day visit to the UK by Iraq's deputy foreign minister. The British minister said: 'This visit reinforces the strength of the UK-Iraq partnership and demonstrates our government's commitment to serious diplomacy that delivers real results. 'As someone who served in Iraq, I understand first-hand the importance of building enduring relationships in the region, and the new agreement we have signed is a testament to the trust and cooperation we've built with our Iraqi counterparts. 'By working together on security, development and migration challenges, we are building stronger relationships that benefit both our countries whilst tackling shared challenges like organised crime and irregular migration.' The Home Office said the Iraqi minister's visit also highlighted opportunities for expanded economic cooperation, and the UK's continued support for Iraq's stability and development, reinforcing Britain's commitment to constructive engagement in the region. The UK reiterated its support for infrastructure development projects in Iraq, building on a trade package worth up to £12.3bn for UK business announced during a visit by Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani, the Iraqi prime minister, to the UK in January.

Micklesham village launches petition against noise from bikers
A parish council has launched a petition to install "acoustic cameras" in a Surrey village plagued by nuisance road Parish Council said the extended opening hours of a local biker cafe was causing "intolerable" noise levels in the village and impacting residents' quality of petition, which has more than 1100 signatures so far, also asks for Mole Valley District Council (MVDC) to enforce a public space protection order (PSPO) in the said it would consider a PSPO and was due to hold a public consultation into the issues. Will Dennis, parish council chair, said: "Bikers have been coming to Rykas [biker cafe] for years and nobody has a problem with that but when new management extended the opening hours to 9pm a few years ago it brought a new cohort of younger riders who rev their bikes and pop their exhausts."The noise levels through our village and up the A24 has become quite unacceptable."He added that a local speed watch group had also had abuse hurled at them. Richard Brown, who runs The Running Horse pub in the village, said: "We've got lots of young families and older people living in this community and I think that's where the biggest issue is."They're getting disturbed at quiet times maybe late at night or early in the morning. It's not a nice environment to be around."Rykas in nearby Box Hill, which claims to be Britain's oldest biker cafe, has been contacted for comment. Tony Bland, 67, a biker from Meopham in Kent who visits the cafe, said: "I actually agree that it [noise] is a problem and I'm a biker. "You get the cars on the custom scene and they time their engines to make this really loud back popping noise on the exhaust."It's a fad or a craze that's going through the custom car scene and it's a massive problem. Something needs to be done about that." Caroline Joseph, MVDC's cabinet member for services and security, said: "We are considering whether to put in place a public spaces protection order (PSPO) in this area, which would specify certain prohibited anti-social driving behaviours."We need to first understand the reported issues further and are in the process of developing a seven-week public consultation due to launch in mid-September."Surrey Police said it was aware of nuisance noise, anti-social behaviour and traffic offences in the area in the summer months and it had increased targeted patrols in the area at peak times.
