France to Intercept Boats in English Channel

France to Intercept Small Boats in English Channel: A New Approach to Deter CrossingsFrance has agreed to intercept small boats in the English Channel, a significant policy shift after pressure from the UK. French maritime police will now stop boats before passengers board, aiming to safeguard human life. However, they will not use nets to disable boat propellers. This new approach follows a brief, aggressive attempt earlier this summer that was quickly abandoned. People-smuggling gangs are expected to adapt their tactics to avoid interception.
