Migrant crossings: 'I jeopardised my life to live in peace'

A man from Yemen says he paid people smugglers in Calais twice in a bid to cross the English Channel to reach the UK.

Muhammed, not his real name, said the boat he was in sank on the first attempt.

After paying another £3,000 to people smugglers, he finally reached the UK but now faces deportation.

A government spokesperson said criminals "willing to risk people's lives" were responsible for the illegal crossings, adding: "We continue to return those who do not have a legitimate claim."
