May, Macron strike border security deal

Prime Minister Theresa May and her French counterpart Emmanuel Macron agreed a new border security deal on Thursday, through which the UK will pay more to France to stop migrants trying to reach British shores.  While the two countries cooperate closely in numerous areas, including intelligence and defence, differences over migration have often strained ties.  The UK-France summit came as Britain tries to strengthen bilateral ties before leaving the European Union in March 2019.
