AT SEA, ENGLAND - APRIL 27: An inflatable 'small boat' carrying migrants crosses the channel after leaving northern France on April 27, 2026 in Dover, England. Last week the UK and France signed a £662 million, three-year deal to curb small boat crossings, featuring a first-of-its-kind £160 million "results-based" payment conditional on a reduction in arrivals. The agreement funds a 42% increase in French coastal personnel, a new removal centre in Dunkirk, and advanced surveillance technology. While designed to disrupt smuggling gangs and secure beaches with riot-trained officers, early reports show smugglers have already begun shifting launch sites further south to bypass the intensified patrols.
