Daniel Thomas, a far-right activist, was arrested over livestreamed video apparently showing him slashing an inflatable dinghy in the Channel. The suspected charge is criminal damage with intent to endanger life, which covers property damage that risks lives. Police say asylum seekers had left but a French rescue worker was aboard. Prosecutors' view of that risk will shape the case.
