A new political clash has erupted between France and the UK after France condemned Reform UK’s proposal to use Royal Navy vessels to intercept migrant boats crossing the English Channel and return them to French ports.

The party, led by Nigel Farage, says military-crewed boats, Border Force officers, and police would be used to stop crossings and return migrants to France or Belgium. French officials argue the proposal would violate national sovereignty and breach international maritime law.

The debate comes amid continued pressure on both governments to address illegal Channel crossings, border security, and migration policy. Could the plan ever be implemented, and what would it mean for UK-France relations?

Europe is battling a severe wildfire crisis as another heatwave intensifies conditions across the continent. Fires in France have approached strategically important facilities linked to the M51 nuclear missile programme, Rafale fighter production and missile manufacturing. Sensitive equipment has been moved and some facilities evacuated or closed as a precaution. In Britain, a major wildfire near Sizewell B nuclear power station has also triggered evacuations in the surrounding area. Meanwhile, three firefighters have died battling wildfires in Greece. The European Union is warning that the threat could shift towards Greece, Italy and Central Europe as extreme heat, drought and strong winds continue to fuel fires. The fires have not destroyed the strategic facilities, but their proximity highlights a growing challenge for Europe: protecting critical infrastructure as extreme weather becomes increasingly severe.

France will now play last-16 match against Paraguay, which shocked four-time winners Germany to advance. Mbappe broke the deadlock just before half-time, capping a slick move after France had already rattled the woodwork twice. Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola doubled the lead in the 53rd minute, teed up by an inspired Olise, before the France captain added his second late on to seal a comfortable win. It was a one-sided last-32 tie in which Les Bleus dominated possession and territory from start to finish.<h2>Mbappe brace put France in R16 with ease</h2>Mbappe's brace took him level with Lionel Messi on six goals in this tournament's Golden Boot race, and his 18th World Cup goal overall leaves him just one short of Messi's all-time record of 19 - a mark the 27-year-old will keep chasing in the knockout rounds.

He celebrated his opener by sprinting to embrace coach Didier Deschamps, who had missed France's final group match against Norway to attend his mother's funeral. Deschamps, who captained Les Bleus to their maiden World Cup triumph in 1998 and coached them to a second title in 2018, will step down once this campaign ends after 14 years in charge, making an early exit unthinkable for a side chasing a fitting send-off.Fittingly, France's route to victory on home soil in 1998 ran through a 1-0 last-16 win over Paraguay, settled by Laurent Blanc's golden goal in extra time, and the two sides will meet again at the same stage in Philadelphia on Saturday (Jul4 ). Olise, expected to be at the centre of the buildup once more, was denied an early opener when Mbappe was flagged offside after being played through, though the disallowed goal only sharpened France's intent before the deadlock was finally broken.
