(BBC) The coastguard says it is dealing with “multiple” small boats with migrants on board off the Kent coast.
Dozens of people wrapped in blankets and wearing lifejackets have been seen being brought into the port of Dover as migrants take advantage of calm seas.
On Friday 319 people were picked up as they crossed the English Channel.
Clandestine Channel Threat Commander Dan O’Mahoney said the UK was working with French authorities to “make the route completely unviable.”
He added: “This morning I was out on a cutter in the Channel working with Border Force officers dealing with these boats.”
