Rishi Sunak has announced a new agreement with Albania which will embed Border Force officers at Tirana airport aimed at stopping people traffickers.

The prime minister has come under increasing pressure to deal with channel crossings.

With more than a third of the 33,000 migrants who crossed the English Channel being from Albania in the first nine months of the year.

Mr Sunak also unveiled a new dedicated unit, called the "small boats operational command" to tackle Channel crossings, adding policing of the Channel "has been too fragmented".
