		</div><p>French president Emmanuel Macron has urged the UK to make it easier for people to apply for asylum and harder to work illegally, in a bid to stem risky migration efforts across the English Channel.</p>
<p>Mr Macron also accused the British government of reneging on promises over fishing licences and of betraying French-British friendship by signing a secret submarine deal with the US and Australia that scuppered a rival French contract.</p>
<p>The British government “doesn’t do what it says”, Mr Macron told a news conference.</p>
<p>The two countries “need to work together in good faith”, notably on migration, he said.</p>
<p>Thousands of migrants have departed from the French coast in recent months in small inflatable boats to try to reach Britain.</p>
<p>“Why are these women and men in these terrible conditions? Because they don’t want asylum in France,” Mr Macron said.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>He urged Britain to create clearer paths to asylum to deter people from making the dangerous crossing.</p>
<p>He also said some migrants are attracted by a British economic model that “depends on illegal work by foreigners”.</p>
<p>Britain and France have accused each other of not doing enough to prevent the deaths of at least 27 migrants whose boat sank last month off the coast of Calais.</p>
<p>Mr Macron also said that France will decide with European Commission on Friday on the next steps in France’s fishing dispute with Britain.</p>

<p>French fishermen are angry at the British government for not granting more licences to fish in UK waters after Brexit.</p>
<p>The fishing industry is economically tiny, but symbolically important for both Britain and France.</p>
<p>“I like Great Britain. I like its people,” Mr Macron said.</p>
<p>“I want terribly to have a government that wants to work simply in good faith.”</p>
