Heres his report. A skirmish early this morning on a french beach. 0k, werejust running to catch up with some migrants here. The police are trying to stop a small boat from leaving the shore. It turns violent. And the police are failing. The boat is dangerously overloaded. It looks like the migrants who did get onto that boat are in trouble. But as we watch, we have no idea that people on board are dying, including a seven Year Old Girl.

Arsenal manager mikel arteta says they will give it a real go, as they attempt to win the Premier League title for the first time in 20 years. They can go three points clear at the top of the table if they beat chelsea later. With five to play, arsenal are level on points with liverpool, but Manchester City are lurking just one behind, with a game in hand. The two managers mikel arteta and Mauricio Pochettino first met more than 20 years ago, as team mates at p56. Arteta received a warm welcome from the argentine all those years ago.
