On the final day of his UK state visit, French President Emmanuel Macron unveiled a new initiative to tackle small boat crossings, hand-in-hand
with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

As more than 250 migrants took advantage of calm seas to arrive in Dover, Starmer unveiled a "one in, one out" policy for new arrivals, which he
hopes will take effect within weeks.

This will see migrants arriving on small boats returned to France, in
exchange for asylum seekers who have not tried to enter the UK illegally -
our correspondent says this is an "experiment", but one the government
thinks is worth trying.

Conservative shadow home secretary Chris Philp, however, says the deal
offers "no deterrent at all", while Reform leader Nigel Farage - who spent
the day on the seas near Dover - calls it a "humiliation for Brexit
Britain".

We're still awaiting details of how exactly the new plans on immigration
will work, but our home editor writes that it is just the first step in a potentially perilous journey.

Amid the agreement on immigration, Macron also declared that the UK and
France will coordinate nuclear deterrence for the first time, after also aligning defence interests to buy more cruise missiles.

As Macron heads back to Paris, we're ending our live coverage here for the
day. For more on the details of the new migration deal, you can check out
our news story, which will be kept up to date with all the developments.

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
forward to America being great again.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.

Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.

Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama
/ Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
