London:

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Thursday demanded that France take back all migrants who have crossed the English Channel, at least after 27 migrants trying to reach UK drown off the north coast of France.

“I suggest we come up with a bilateral agreement to allow all illegal migrants to cross the Channel to return,” he said.
