First small boat migrants detained for return to France under new deal
First small boat migrants detained for return to France under new deal The Government has warned people considering travelling to the UK this way to think again, as they risk being returned and losing the money they pay traffickers The first small boat arrivals have been detained, the Home Office has confirmed (Image: PA) The initial small boat arrivals have been detained for deportation to France under a "groundbreaking" new returns agreement. Detentions started for migrants who reached Kent on Wednesday with those being held anticipated to be sent back within a fortnight. This follows the implementation of a new 'one in one out' agreement with France designed to address perilous crossings. The Government has cautioned individuals contemplating this route to the UK to reconsider, as they face the prospect of being returned whilst forfeiting money paid to traffickers. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper described the initial wave of detentions as an "important step forward". This development follows Keir Starmer's praise of a significant UK-France deal to address Channel small boat crossings. For our free daily briefing on the biggest issues facing the nation, sign up to the Wales Matters newsletter here . Ms Cooper stated: "Yesterday, under the terms of this groundbreaking new treaty, the first group of people to cross the Channel were detained after their arrival at Western Jet Foil and will now be held in detention until they can be returned to France. "That sends a message to every migrant currently thinking of paying organised crime gangs to go to the UK that they will be risking their lives and throwing away their money if they get into a small boat.", reports the Mirror. "No one should be making this illegal and dangerous journey that undermines our border security and lines the pockets of the criminal gangs." The Government maintains that the returns agreement - the first with mainland Europe since Brexit - represents a breakthrough in its efforts to tackle smuggling gangs. The fresh initiative will operate until June of next year initially, with sources indicating that as many as 50 individuals weekly could be sent back - approximately 2,600 annually. In return, those with valid claims to reside in the UK will be permitted to travel from France. Ms Cooper added: "Criminal gangs have spent seven years embedding themselves along our border and it will take time to unravel them, but these detentions are an important step towards undermining their business model and unravelling the false promises they make. "These are the early days for this pilot scheme, and it will develop over time. But we are on track to do what no other government has done since this crisis first started - sending small boat arrivals back to France and strengthening our borders through the Plan for Change." The Home Office declared in a statement: "Border Force, Immigration Enforcement and Home Office officials will continue to work round the clock over the coming weeks to identify and detain individuals under the treaty, and undertake the necessary processes to prepare them for their return to France." According to the arrangement, which was established during a UK-France summit in July, individuals permitted entry to the UK will undergo prior screening to determine whether they might present a security risk. However, these measures have been criticised by human rights organisations, which are urging the Government to create more safe and legal pathways. Steve Valdez-Symonds, Amnesty International UK's refugee and migrant rights director, remarked: "A returns deal with France that makes access to safety in the UK - even for those with close family or connections here - dependent on someone else risking their life to cross the Channel only cements the role of smugglers in how people fleeing war and persecution must seek asylum in the UK. "Once again, refugees are treated like parcels, not people, while the public is left to pay the price for, yet another cruel, costly failure dressed up as policy." Louise Calvey, executive director at Asylum Matters, condemned the move as "yet another attack on the human right to seek sanctuary". She commented: "It's a grubby trade in human lives that will do nothing more than remove people from this country back into the hands of people smugglers. "It will send them back to French shores where they'll face escalating police violence: boats being slashed with families onboard, children being teargassed, violence which we know makes Channel crossings even more dangerous." The Home Office also disclosed on Monday a £100 million enhancement to border security, which includes funding for up to 300 additional National Crime Agency Officers. This investment will also support a trial of the 'one-in, one-out' returns agreement with France. Article continues below

2 Pennsylvania state troopers have been shot, governor says
Two state troopers were shot Thursday in a rural area of Pennsylvania, Gov. Josh Shapiro said at an event outside Philadelphia. Shapiro said that in the late morning in Susquehanna County, 'two state troopers were shot. Lori and I are praying for those troopers. I want you to know I've communicated with Col. Paris. He is on the scene." Christopher Paris heads the Pennsylvania State Police. An aide said Shapiro headed to the shooting location in the northeastern Pennsylvania county, which borders New York state. A state police spokesperson, Trooper Logan T. Brouse, said the location was along Route 171 near the village of Thompson. That's about 163 miles (262 kilometers) north of Philadelphia. Angelica Howell, a deputy coroner in Susquehanna County, said shortly after 3 p.m. that she was on her way to where the shooting occurred. Howell said authorities did not indicate whether there was more than one person dead when they asked the coroner's office to respond. Pennsylvania U.S. Sen. Dave McCormick said in a social media post that he was monitoring the developing situation. He also expressed empathy for the troopers who were shot. 'Dina and I are praying for our brave state troopers in Susquehanna County and monitoring the situation closely as more details emerge,' McCormick posted. U.S. Rep. Rob Bresnahan said on X that he was 'relieved to hear the troopers involved in today's incident in Thompson Township are expected to be in stable condition.'

ITV commissions true crime series about one of Britain's 'most prolific sex attackers'
A new true crime series about the victims of 'one of the most prolific sex attackers in British history' has been commissioned by ITV. The four-part drama, Believe Me, will recount the story of three victims who were assaulted by John Worboys after he went under the cover of a licensed taxi-cab driver and later given the name Black Cab Rapist by the media. Advertisement Written by Bafta-award winning screenwriter Jeff Pope, the series features Slow Horses star Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Industry's Miriam Petche and Bloods actress Aasiya Shah, who will play the women Worboys sexually assaulted. Writer, director and producer Jeff Pope (Lucy North/PA) Worboys will be played by English actor Daniel Mays, who is best known for A Thousand Blows. Pope said: 'The series goes on an emotional journey with the victims of Worboys' attacks, showing what happened to them when they reported being raped and assaulted, the pain and indignity of the process and how this dehumanised them. 'But most shocking of all is how they felt that not being believed by the police and having the attacks recorded, essentially, as non-crimes, was as traumatising for them as the actual assaults.' Advertisement The series follows two women as they report sexual assaults by Worboys and their fight to have their allegations believed and investigated by the Metropolitan Police, leading them to take legal action against the force under the Human Rights Act. Aimee-Ffion Edwards (PA) Directed by Julia Ford, the series is filmed in Cardiff and will be produced with support from the Welsh Government via Creative Wales. Polly Hill, director of Drama at ITV, said: 'We are really proud to be working with Jeff Pope to bring this important story to screen. 'For too long, the women were not heard by the police, resulting in more victims and ultimately resulting in a landmark case brought against the Met. Advertisement 'Jeff's scripts, as always, are brilliant in bringing this difficult but important story to screen, and I am delighted that Julia Ford will be directing the piece.' The drama will air on ITV1 and STV and be available for streaming on ITVX and STV Player.
