00:00We have this dangerous situation. The criminal gangs are undermining border security. They are
00:04putting lives at risk. In the first half of the year, the numbers of crossings that we inherited
00:10from the previous government were a record high for spring crossings. Those gangs should not be
00:16able to get away with it and that's why we're determined to go after them with the National
00:20Crime Agency, working with Europol, expanding the additional investigators that we're recruiting for
00:27here at the MCA, but also that much stronger partnership with European law enforcement
00:33to stop those gangs and boats before they reach the French coast.
