British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Thursday that the navy would take over patrolling the Channel for migrants trying to cross from France. "From today, the Royal Navy will take over operational command from Border Force in the Channel with the aim that no boat makes it to the UK undetected," Johnson said in a speech announcing a plan to send those who made the crossing to Rwanda.

Goma, DR Congo – Rwandan drone strikes hit targets near the besieged town of Goma as Rwanda-backed M23 forces pursued their offensive in the east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, according to UN and local security forces.

“A TB2 drone of the Rwandan army hit one of our positions near Kibati”, about six kilometres (4 miles) north of Goma, a source close to the DRC armed forces told AFP. According to several sources at the UN’s peacekeeping mission, at least two people were injured in the attack.
