UK-Italy illegal immigration talks

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer met his Italian counterpart Giorgia Meloni in Rome on Monday. Starmer said he was seeking to discuss how to deal with “unlawful migration” during a visit to Italy.  He was speaking while touring a national immigration coordination center with the Italy's Interior Minister.

The perilous cross-Channel journeys migrants attempt from northern France have posed a fiendishly difficult problem to solve for successive British Prime Ministers. Eight migrants died on Sunday after their overcrowded boat capsized in the Channel between France and England, bringing to 46 the number of people who have lost their lives this year trying to reach British shores.
