The reason they're there is, you know, that's how the criminal gangs do an awful lot of their advertising, both in terms of getting people to think, yeah, it would be a good idea to try and leave my country, and oh yeah, and I can do it via this particular route. So it's saying to the social media companies, please don't make the job of criminal gangs any easier.

Very briefly, yes. I mean, slightly less briefly, absolutely. The UK is not a member of the EU. It can no longer return migrants back to the European Union countries. And it's not part of the EU law enforcement agencies like Europol anymore.

It's a chilly spring morning in the Brdy Protected Nature Reserve, about an hour south of Prague, and I'm getting a much-needed crash course in zoology from Environmental Protection Officer Bohumil Fischer.

The meadows here are now waterlogged. There are little freshwater pools which will soon be home to hundreds of frogs. And the stream is now pure and free of sediment, creating a haven for the endangered stone crayfish, which Bohemil soon expects to see in these wetlands. In fact, these were the three main goals of a project first conceived in 2018.

But that got, well, bogged down in a dispute recently. between two state enterprises over which one of them would own the land. Then, two years later, came the beavers and solved the problem for them, saving the Czech taxpayer about a million pounds.

Bohemil Fisher appears unfazed by the creative embellishments in some of the reporting. One paper claims the beavers had built these 20 dams overnight. For him, the story of the Burdi beavers has been fantastic PR, both for this wild area of forest and rolling hills, and for this industrious nocturnal animal, which many wrongly assume is a pest.

What she does is she picks up a baby wombat that's walking with its mother, shows it to the camera. It's hissing in distress, clearly. And in the background, you can see the mother coming towards, trying to find its Joey. And the person filming this whole scene is laughing, saying the mother's really cross. And then she goes and puts the wombat back.

But clearly, I mean, this has caused a massive outrage on social media. Even the prime minister said, weighing in on this. And the foreign minister has been talking about this. It's been a big discussion point. Australia obviously takes the protection of its animals very seriously. It's got a massive amount of protected and very, very unique animals.

The wombat itself, this wombat, I don't believe is endangered. But nevertheless, there have been animal protection experts, you know, saying that this is unacceptable. This obviously caused distress. There's a very tight bond with wombat joeys and their mothers.
