- British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is meeting his Italian counterpart Giorgia Meloni in Rome to discuss tackling illegal immigration, a day after another Channel migrant shipwreck claimed eight lives. Starmer, whose centre-left Labour Party was elected with a crushing parliamentary majority in July, has vowed to fight illegal immigration, a hot-button topic in British politics for years. Far-right riots shook cities and towns across England and Northern Ireland shortly after Starmer's election, the UK's worst unrest since 2011, with mosques and migrant accommodation centres often targeted. The perilous cross-Channel journeys migrants attempt from northern France have posed a fiendishly difficult problem to solve for successive British prime ministers. Starmer's trip to Italy has already spurred criticism, even within his own party. Labour MP Kim Johnson told The Guardian newspaper it was "disturbing that Starmer is seeking to learn lessons from a neo-fascist government, particularly after the anti-refugee riots and far-right racist terrorism that swept Britain this summer". As Starmer and Meloni seek to significantly curb migrant boats reaching UK and Italy, FRANCE 24's Gavin Lee is joined by award-winning Author, Journalist Sally Hayden and Andrew Geddes, Professor, Political Scientist, Chair in Migration Studies and Director of the Migration Policy Centre (MPC) at the European University Institute (EUI).

"Fleeing devastating crises" by traversing a dozen safe countries. Okay, whatever you say.
Right! These boats are coming from France, not exactly a war zone. These commentators seem to imply that it's wrong to tell people they don't get to choose any country they like.
@@caseyyork833they think that common people and popular sentiment should not be deciding. I think citizens should vote directly on number ranges of newcomers. Politicians should need to make the case.
Majority are economic migrants. Statically speaking majority of these so called “Asylum seekers” go to holiday to their own countries, The same countries they claim they’re being prosecuted in.
And that’s only after they’re granted asylum/Refuge, They pick and choose where to stay I’ve spoken with many whom have been granted asylum in 2 or 3 countries and they hide all their documentation before entering a new country try to be granted asylum
The strange ethnic cleansing of GB
Citizen action to protect their property is needed.
this must stop
Useless politicians
Why do you never invite the people who has seen their islands and businesses destroyed or victims. Bring a panel in a stadium of the girls who tried to enjoy new year in Cologne or wanted to watch a game of football in Paris
Tony Abbott did it successfully in Australia
All sides should join hands to solve this problem.
Still blaming the people smugglers, nothing mentioned by the EU or UK actually taking away the incentive for illegal migrants paying the smugglers in the first place.
More drownings might discourage these crossings?
How exactly do you plan on keeping them in Albania? if that comes to fruition!
10:31. Excuse me, but we must use a word to denote them. Migrant is a term that has been effectively imposed on people in public discourse, we used to use more descriptive ones. I know that they are human and matter, but that does not mean a broad spectrum discussion cannot be had.
Set up factory in Africa, if there are jobs there, maybe they don't need to cross borders?
Oh yeah, when China did that Europe accused them of debt traps.
Why would we treat the as if they are our own teenager kids!? Why would they be our problem? We sent them enormous money for decades to develop. Nothing happened.
As far as I'm concerned they are on their own, and we have to take care of our people
Do you know what the average total fertility rate of African countries? It’s somewhere around 5 kids per couple. How would you able to provoke jobs for their exploding population?
@@TheGreatVivek7 Why would anyone else have the burden of finding jobs for Africans in the first place!?
@@MilenaBlazanovic-oq2iy Few of those countries were colonised by France, hence France cannot behave indifferently. My question is, where does the buck stop
Sally Hayden makes a very good point. It's a bit myopic to only consider the problem at the borders. The issue is several people are facing real danger in their homes and need help. So better solutions would perhaps require a discussion on better coordination of food aid, peace keeping missions, perhaps trying to stop the flow of arms to these dangerous groups, etc. That might be a better use of money than throwing it at short-term, patchy solutions. Surely, we can't only be interested in other territories when it comes to plunder.
There ere enormous amount of money that have been sent to Africa from the western countries for decades, not to mention medicine vaccines and etc. We can't continue to treat them as teenagers, Africans should have their own responsibility for their societies
Hong Kong and Singapore were both British colonies, still, both are prosperous now. There are no excuses for such a long failures of producing their own successful societies
@@MilenaBlazanovic-oq2iyFrance and Europe are still sucking Africa dry through the IMF and multinationals. Stop being thick.
