Four people die on migrant boat crossing from France in freezing cold

Four people have died after a boat carrying migrants got into trouble after attempting to launch from a beach south of Calais, according to reports in France. French paper La Voix du Nord said 72 people, including 10 children, were rescued and taken to Calais while one person was taken to hospital in Boulogne. The latest tragedy came the day after former home secretary Suella Braverman took another shot at Rishi Sunak, accusing the prime minister of relying on “bad weather” to stop small boat crossings.
