Headline: Four Migrants Die Attempting to Cross English Channel

Caption: Four migrants have died after a boat capsized during an attempt to cross the English Channel, according to the French coastguard. Overnight, a navy patrol boat reported that migrants had fallen into the sea off the coast of Boulogne-sur-Mer in northern France. Four people found "unconscious" could not be saved, police added, while 63 were rescued. A helicopter and fishing vessel also helped in the rescue effort. UK Home Secretary Yvette Cooper described the incident as "truly awful". The coastguard said several people fell into the sea after part of their boat "deflated".
