Several people have died while attempting to cross the Channel, French authorities say. The deaths have been reported near Ambleteuse which is 18 miles south of Calais. It comes after 200 asylum seekers were rescued from the French coast on Friday and Saturday night. In July, four people drowned when their boat capsized as they tried to reach the Uk from the coast of Boulogne-Sur-Mer. More as we have it.
