There's anger after thousands of people turned up on a beach in Kent for a 'cook out' event which organisers have now admitted 'got out of hand'.

Coaches and minibuses arrived from London for the gathering on Greatstone Beach in New Romney after it was banned from happening at nearby Camber.

This morning, the coast was covered in litter and it's emerged a number of police officers were injured.

Also in the podcast - a request is made to the Royal navy to patrol the Channel as migrant crossings continue.
