00:00GB News has obtained an audio recording that seems to confirm the French authorities are
00:06giving migrants life jackets. Yes, and in so doing that, it raises obvious questions about
00:11whether the French are now enabling these small boat crossings. Joining us in the studio is our
00:16very own Home and Security Editor, Mark White. Mark, tell us more. Well, this is an audio
00:22recording that we've obtained. It's basically a conversation between a border force vessel,
00:29the typhoon, and also a French patrol boat. And what it seems to confirm is that the French
00:38are handing out life jackets to the migrants, probably at sea, when they intervene to try
00:45to get these migrants on board these boats to return to France, to get on board the French
00:51ship and return to French waters. Of course, the migrants very rarely do that. But it seems
00:59that they're actually handing out these life jackets to the migrants that don't have
01:05them. Let's just take a listen to that audio recording of the radio transmissions.
01:10We can arrange to return your life jackets. Can you confirm how many persons are on board?
01:18Over. 34. 34, sir. Thank you very much for life jackets. We will, with us here, we're
01:27rebirth. You will be able to give them the life jackets after they come back. French warship,
01:36typhoon. Yeah, that's all understood. Once everyone's on board, we'll return our jacket, either via our
01:43red, or via your red. Can you confirm all the life jackets, yours? Over. All the life jackets
01:50are ours. It's also life jackets we had kept before with the order of other horses. Yeah, that's all
02:03understood. I'll make contact once we complete the rescue to return your life jackets.
