5:47Now PlayingAn attempt by migrants to cross the Channel from France has ended in tragedy, with two adults and two children losing their lives when their boat sank off the French coast.
The boat capsized near Dunkirk and the French authorities mounted a major search and rescue operation. 15 people were rescued and taken to hospital. Those on board were from Iran.
More than 7,400 migrants have reached the UK in small boats this year, a ib increase on 2019.
Reeta Chakrabarti presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Nick Beake in Dunkirk and home editor Mark Easton.
