French navy accused of intimidation after live fire during BBC interview

Prominent Tory MP Chris Philp vows to raise incident with the French ambassador — but authorities on both sides of the Channel point to routine training exercise.

Captain Chris ‘Hunter-Killer’ Philp had been on patrol since first light in the Channel.

Chris Philp MP was being interviewed about small boat crossings by BBC South East when what he believes to be a French warship passed by.

A warship fired live bullets in an attempt to "intimidate" UK Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp as he covered the crisis.
