(BBC) The UK will give France almost £500m over three years to help stop migrants crossing the Channel in small boats.
The cash was announced at a summit in Paris between UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and President Emmanuel Macron, who said France would also contribute.
The money will go towards an extra 500 officers and a new detention centre in France, but this will not be fully operational until the end of 2026.
The UK had planned to pay France around £63m this year to tackle the problem.
This new package appears to at least double that amount, with the UK pledging £120m in 2023-24.
