Bonjour and welcome to Coffee House Shots. I'm James Hill and I'm joined today by Freddie Gray and Tim Shipman.

Ooh-l-la-la. Absolutely. Absolutely. So now, Tim, obviously the reason we're talking in

bad French is because, of course, Emmanuel Macron has come to town. You've written an excellent piece for coffee house talking about

why it's going to be an Entente-Gla-Calle when he meets with Kirstama later today. Tell us

more about this big state visit. Well, look, we've got two days of it. The first day is with the

King and the second day is with the Prime Minister. And the morning papers were full of, you know, the excitement of whether or not a migration deal will be signed.

And the idea is that the French will start taking back some of the people who've come illegally on small boats.

And in return, we will take people who have a family connection to Britain.

So that's not going to make much of a dent initially in the migration net numbers.

But the hope is if this deal comes off, that in time,

it will look at least like we're in control of who's coming in a little bit more,

and will that begin to act as a deterrent?

If people think if they come over on a boat, they're going to get sent back,

then if it works, that could have some kind of effect in the same way

that the Rwanda deal appeared to last year. It's one of those ones where there's a summit and

everyone's pretending that it's all going down to the wire and will, will, they or won't they sign this

deal and presumably they will sign the deal otherwise. I mean, if they don't, it will be

pretty embarrassing humiliation for the prime minister.
