French police to use nets to stop small boats crossing Channel
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"French police will use large nets to stop small boats crossing the English Channel despite warnings that such tactics could lead to deaths. France has been under mounting pressure from the UK to intercept migrant vessels at sea amid growing public anger over illegal migration, as Labour ramps up its efforts to deter people from making the crossings in a fresh crackdown."
The Independent seeks donations to fund frontline reporting on reproductive rights, climate change, Big Tech investigations, and documentaries like 'The A Word'. Donations enable reporters to be sent to gather facts, interview both sides, and keep reporting accessible without paywalls by relying on reader support. French authorities plan to use wide arresting nets to intercept small migrant boats crossing the English Channel amid UK pressure and rising public anger over illegal migration. Authorities have equipped law enforcement with arresting nets reportedly up to 30m wide since spring, raising concerns that the tactic could endanger lives.
