Over 23,000 migrants have made the journey from France to the UK this year.

Last week, 27 people lost their lives when they travelled across the Channel.

A fisherman saw the boat.

He called the emergency services and they rescued two people.

Migrants use people traffickers because they can't get UK visas.

These criminals put lots of migrants into tiny boats.

The dangerous boats cross the Channel, the world's busiest sea.

They are killing people, says French politician Gerald Darmain .

The migrants have to sleep outdoors in Calais.

Then, people traffickers take them to the boats.

The British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, wants to end these dangerous journeys.

He thinks countries should cooperate.

French police have arrested four traffickers who may be responsible for the deaths.

Already this year, they've arrested 1,500 traffickers.

European countries have promised to work together.

They're looking for a solution to the problem.

But they don't agree with Johnson's ideas, which he tweeted to the French president.

Calais resident Mehdi Dimpre is angry.
