Headline: UNCAPTIONED: UK and France Launch 'One In, One Out' Migrant Return Scheme

Caption: UK and France Launch 'One In, One Out' Migrant Return Scheme. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron have unveiled a new pilot scheme aimed at tackling illegal Channel crossings. Speaking during Macron’s state visit to the UK, Starmer said migrants arriving in small boats will be detained and swiftly returned to France. In return, the UK will accept a different individual through a legal and secure route—one who hasn’t attempted to enter the country illegally. Macron pointed to Brexit as a factor in the UK’s reduced border control, contrasting it with promises made during the 2016 referendum. The new agreement comes as the UK government faces growing pressure to curb undocumented migration, amid rising support for the far-right Reform UK party. Starmer called the policy a “new deterrent” aimed at restoring order to the country’s asylum process. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
