 Four migrants have died after a boat capsized during an attempt to cross the English Channel. An inflatable boat with nearly 70 people on board was reported to be in difficulty at around 4 o'clock in the morning. A fishing boat and a rescue vessel were quickly at the scene, followed by a Navy patrol boat and a helicopter. Most of the migrants were brought to safety, but the helicopter pilots spotted three people floating in the sea and a fourth on the inflatable dinghy. They were brought on board the Navy vessel where they were pronounced dead.
