PARIS - France is prepared to talk about migrants with Britain if it wants to hold serious discussions, French interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said on Monday.

Seventeen men, seven women and three teenagers died on Wednesday when their dinghy deflated in the Channel.

The deaths have deepened animosity between Britain and France, already at odds over Brexit.
