morning, the french authorities picked up five migrants from a small boat just off the coast southwest of calais. on friday, eight iranians were brought ashore after their dinghy was spotted off the coast of kent. it brings the total number of suspected migrants to have reached the uk this month to 101. 0ur reporter keith doyle has more. these men were found in a dinghy by a border force patrol boat in the channel yesterday. the eight men, who say they are iranian, were taken into custody and interviewed by immigration officers. the day before, 1a people were found in two dinghies in the channel. french authorities found another 11 suspected migrants on the same day. there has been a huge rise in the number of people trying to cross the channel in small boats. in the past month, 101 suspected migrants have been found, including nine people found on rocks at folkestone. three boats with 2a suspected migrants, including a toddler, were picked up off ramsgate. and seven men were rescued from a dinghy after making a distress call. we need to see the home office and french authorities work together t

jason: uber, left calais act, topping a lineup of listings that most american tech listings of any year this century. >> uber, lift, slack, airbnb falls into the maybe pile. when you run the numbers there hasn't been more than three companies listed that have a valuation of bigger than $10 million since 2000. that is when palmpilot was lifting. it has been a really long time since we have had such a group of very, very large companies looking to those public markets. carol: speaking of, what are we talking about in terms of valuation? they are valued around $75 billion in private funding rounds. the banks that they haven't talking to started around $120 billion and i think there should those exactm over numbers but it gives you a decent range between $75 billion in $100 billion in market value, -- franklyankly how huge. softbank mobile is going public and they might be the biggest deal ever. uber could be the biggest alibaba, maybe bigger than alibaba, with good reason. carol: so impressive you mentioned though that we haven't seen three or four tech companies go public at this magnitud

the produce is mostly brought through the dover calais route and calais is likely to be the worst affected through brexit. that will have a significant impact on the products on our supermarket shelves. what sort of impact? if you think about we are importing about 90% of letters and 70% of soft fruit from europe. you can immediately see if you wander down the fruit and veg isle, what the impact may be through problems of availability, shelf life might be shorter and prices are likely to rise. we have been talking about the queues this side of the tunnel, lorries trying to get out, presumably when imports are that big, the number coming back will be horrendous? it is a circular system and it works well at the moment and the supplied chain to europe is integrated. you put any blockage in that system, which will be calais, and that is back in to dover and you will see how quickly the system brea ks will see how quickly the system breaks down. let's talk about what we are seeing at the moment, adam fleming in brussels hasjust tweeted, at the eu 27 are meeting in brussels tomorrow evening. tha

there are a lot of reports of what would happen if there is a hard brexit for the port of calais and across the channel. give us a sense of how destructive it could be, given the relationships right now where it is smooth and easy. how much of an impediment is customs goods coming into your report? mario: i am of the belief that free trade facilitates trade between countries but in terms of a political agenda, it brings countries together as opposed to a geopolitical discussion, which whether it is the eu or britain, the brexit issue, impacts free trade. for us, whatever happens in the other parts of the world regarding the disruption of free trade and opportunities facilitates and comes down the pipe with regards to other regions of the world. david: given the amount of cargo, how is it clear through theirs was to mark is preclearance overseas, or to customs people have to inspect though shipments? mario: i am pleased to say that with customs bureau protection they do a good job of making sure that for security perspective, we have a good clearance infrastructure. to answer your que

the brexit secretary was not aware of the importance of calais. iu as taoiseach aware of the importance of that route —— are you aware. the big question now about the detail of avoiding a hard border in ireland, u nless avoiding a hard border in ireland, unless something gives here, we are potentially looking at a no—deal brexit and we are potentially going to need a hard border in ireland. do both sides need to give something here? to the cabinet office minister, i want to ask about a statement made by the first minister today. he has blamed the decision of a german automobile manufacturer to close a plant saying that it is your shambolic handling of the brexit negotiations that is to blame on that. could you elaborate on that point? i will take the first one, as he asked me first. yes, i'm very much aware of the dublin— holyhead link. i have had the pleasure to be minister for transport for 3.5 years in ireland, dublin port fell under my remit and i had the pleasure to visit and see those operations on many occasions. it is notjust the a

secretary of state, recently say in an strawberry admission, that he didn't know how important the dover calais crossing was. —— in an extraordinary admission. we also have someone say if we damage the speed of what goes through that crossing it could put medical supplies at risk. we have had a surgeons say that you could see operations halted because many of our operations require real just—in—time delivery of crossings and equipment. there is a lot at sta ke and equipment. there is a lot at stake here. we could stop it if there was a man on the labour side who wanted a second vote. jeremy corbyn says quite clear that brexit can't be stopped, although keir starmer, the shadow ministers, says that can. not that clear on the labour side either. actually it is clear, and there is a mission and policy, and that has been discussed against it. i have heard jeremy supporting that notion. the key point is this. we have agreed as a party that if there is not a deal thatis party that if there is not a deal that is going to meet the tests that will be supportive of our economy, make sure we get t

clearly uprise ina trade to continue, and that clearly uprise in a significant way to the likes of the calais/dover route and holyhead/dublin at the other end of the uk. this gives businesses breathing space to continue to deliver to those lines of logistics that are based on the just premise, which the manufacturing industry relies on heavily, as do businesses more generally and the consumer. we heard from andrew mitchell, former chief whip, earlier, and he says this leaves the uk in the position of being rule—taker is. does that bother you on a political level, or do your think the deal allows you to carry on business in a way you would find acceptable? with the click at the deal on the table at the moment separately from the future trading arrangements. we see this as a temporary measure and the start of a longer process and one that would be challenging to breach to a successful conclusion. but in the first instance it gives the shipping community the certainty it needs to flourish and continue servicing businesses and consumers. in the longer term, the nature of the future relationship

risks of leaving the eu without a deal and specifically the amount of trade going between dover and calais every year. just have a listen to what he said in the short clip. we make clear that we want a range of goods that recognised a peculiar geographic economic entity that is the united kingdom. we are and i have quite understood the full extent of this but if you look at the uk and you look at how we trade in goods, we are particularly reliant on the dover calais crossing and that is one of the reasons why there's been a lot of controversy about this but we want to make sure that we have a specific and approximate relationship with the eu to ensure fresh in the street at the border. a lot of people are picking up on the press is secretary'sjoyce award said that he had not white understood the final trade between dover and calais. it is the main trade group between britain and eu, something like 2 million units or lorries crossing the crossing every year and has been a bit of reaction from the freight transport association saying that they are relieved to learn that the brexit secretary

matt baker and six young people cycling from calais to salford. i think that is quite good at the moment, a piece of good news. since the telephones began in 1980 children in need has raised over £1 billion now. people mostly raised over £1 billion now. people m ostly fro m raised over £1 billion now. people mostly from the uk giving to children in need and that is very moving. thank you very much and congratulations once again with that success. let's take a look at the weather details now. sunshine is on the way — is on the way. and we will see more sunshine developing into the afternoon. if we ta ke developing into the afternoon. if we take a closer look at the detail, parts of cornwall towards the isles of scilly still seeing some of that crowd. across the people district and the pennines we could also hold onto low cloud in the afternoon. breaking up at times in northern ireland. but for the majority sunshine overhead in many places. going into tonight the cloud is still in the north—east at times but for most it is clear skies around.

you look at the uk and you look at how we trade in goods, we are particularly reliant on the dover—calais crossing. but before trade talks can start, ministers need to finalise the withdrawal agreement. it is an excellent document. we should be really proud of what the prime minister has achieved to get this far, and i'm looking forward to supporting the final deal. and no one knows how long that will take. vicki young, bbc news, westminster. the headlines on bbc news: a man who opened fire at a bar in california killing at least 12 people has been named as 28—year—old ex—marine ian david long. it's suspected he was suffering from mental health issues when he carried out the attack. the prince of wales tells the bbc he will no longer comment on topics he feels strongly about when he becomes king. he was speaking ahead of his 70th birthday. a sharp rise in the number of prescriptions for diabetes is now costing the nhs in england more than £1 billion a year. an update on the market numbers for you — here's how london's and frankfurt ended the day. and in the united states, this is

well i think what we are seeing is displacement, we've done quite a lot of good work in calais in the last couple of years stopping penetration through by lorries, there was a report by the independent chief inspector of immigration which shows more work is being done on french feeder ports to off—load people, but the people traffickers would give up, they will continue to try and find a way at what we haven't seen before it is this unprecedented number of small olds carrying honourable people across the english channel, derry orient. —— small boats. what's being done to stop it? orderforce will boats. what's being done to stop it? order force will have border control vessels and cutters alongside other agencies working hopefully with the french, certainly with the national crime agency to stop the smuggling gangs at source. what we need to do is stop the boats at source because this is highly dangerous, these waters are busy shipping lanes, this is not a good time of year, people will die of hypothermia or drowning, that's a real array, there will be deployment under way to try

the third article that we talk about, the physical border, the discussion between calais and dover. 0n the fourth article is the ratification, the end of the discussion. briefly, do you think it could all be sorted by sunday? for this summit?” do you think it could all be sorted by sunday? for this summit? i don't know if it will be all sorted by sunday. i hope that we will, of course, find a deal. i hope european citizens and british citizens will be protected. so, we campsa for the consequences for the different situations. the new ministerfor work and pensions, amber rudd, has said this morning she'll look again at the five—week wait people face in getting their universal credit payments. she was speaking to the today programme earlier. think that is something i should look at, and i will. when you say it is our defence, it's notjust a defence, it's a practical approach to trying to help people get the best out of the system that the state is providing. so, the end of each month, if their wages have gone down, or if they have had additional housing costs, hopefully universal cre

it's roughly 31 km from dover to calais, and this is the busiest international seaway in the world. this is footage of one dinghy being intercepted by a uk border force boat on friday with eight men aboard. police say they were lucky to survive. the reason why it may be happening is to be found 1,900km away in the serbian capital of belgrade. last year, serbia began offering visa—free entry to iranians. since then, accroding to a refugee support centre in belgrade, over a0,000 people have come from iran — and not all have gone back. the bbc‘s william mclennan has more on this on our website — he came in earlier, and i asked what we knew about where they were from. so it is impossible to say for certain where they left from, because they are arriving on small rigid hold unbeatable boats known as zodiac ‘s, and they don't —— inflata ble zodiac ‘s, and they don't —— inflatable boats, they don't carry gps transponders so authorities are not able to track them from somewhere in northern france, and they are hiding somewhere in kent khamidova or folkestone, somewhere a
