Transcript

00:00 The news this morning is just devastating. We've just had 26 days, I believe, over Christmas

00:05 where there were no recorded small boat crossings. That ended yesterday morning. I believe a boat

00:11 reached Dover yesterday morning on Saturday. Obviously this first thing Sunday morning has

00:16 now happened. It's just awful. You know, there was not even any Coast Guard involvement because

00:21 it happened so close to the beach and it just goes to show when it's so cold and just so dark

00:26 in a place like that, even before you've even left, it's dangerous. You know, you don't have

00:30 to be in the middle of the channel for it to be a risk to life.
