In a special edition, we focus on the plight of migrants, particularly women and children who make the perilous journey from French shores to the UK. It is an issue that has redrawn Britain's political landscape. This as the number of migrants arriving on the UK southern coastline reach unprecedented levels. Britain and France have finalised a deal on how to reduce the numbers, with the UK accepting some asylum seekers but returning others to France.
We report on what conditions women and children face as they seek to make that incredibly risky crossing.
Annette Young also talks to Lucie Feutrier-Cook, a migration specialist, on the steps European governments need to take to deal with the crisis.
Plus we look at the difficulties migrant women have in reporting sexual violence.
