 SOCIETY:  Channel migrants: UK calls for smuggler crackdown after migrant deaths ( BY SENSI FROM ADM3)

The UK is determined to smash the "evil" business model of people traffickers, an immigration minister has said, after 27 people drowned crossing the Channel on Wednesday.

Kevin Foster said the UK, France and rest of Europe must tackle the problem together, following the biggest single loss of life in the Channel on record. A fifth person has been arrested in connection with the fatal crossing. Five women and a girl were among the dead, France's interior minister said. Gerald Darmanin also said two people had been rescued and one was missing. It was earlier reported 31 people had died, but the total was revised down overnight into Thursday
