We are linking up with 蜜芽传媒 Radio Five Live to focus on the deaths of at least 27 people who were trying to cross the English Channel to get to Britain. Nuala McGovern and Tony Livesey speak to people with first-hand experiences of making the journey into the UK and hear voices from the countries of those who died yesterday.

We鈥檒l also explain why the UK is a popular destination, what happens to people who arrive in the country, and what is known about the people who smuggle thousands of people across the Channel in small boats.

And we look at the numbers of people trying to cross into the UK, and how that compares to other parts of the world.
