What weve mika master is somewhere in the region of 50 people rescued, six people were taken from the water and have since been pronounced dead.

Therapy repeated warnings over three months and was only a matter of time before we saw another tragedy out there in the channel in the early hours of this morning, six more people lost their lives. In terms of the sequence of events, a passing ship spotted a Boat Carrying Migrants in difficulty and it was reported that the people on board that boat were actually trying to bail out water using their shoes. And Emergency Response was activated, several lifeboats were sent to the scene and by the time they arrived to, it was a pretty catastrophic picture. Numerous people were in the water, screaming for help. The rescuers did what they did, one person airlifted to hospital in calais where that person was pronounced dead. Five other bodies were taken to be sure by the lifeboat. Survivors, around 50 people, branch approach here to dover and on the other side of the channel in calais. What is concerning for the authorities, speaking to rescuers, they say over the past week this is the seventh time people had been pulled from the water. There is a fear that the smugglers who are organising these crossings perhaps have a defective batch of boats and that is putting lives very much at risk. In terms of a Rescue Operation, that is continuing out in the channel because these boats are often dangerously overloaded and it can be difficult to surmise how many people are on board, so the authorities are continuing to scour the water in case there could potentially be any more survivors or perhaps even more bodies.

We have had several other boats from the uk sent out into french waters because although officially it is french territorial waters, when there is an incident like this it is effectively all hands to the pump and you will often get coastguard from the uk getting involved in sending lifeboats over. Certainly the lifeboat from here in dover managed to rescue ten people and they were brought back to dover. Thatjoint operation is continuing. Thank you. We will bring you more on that moving the story as and when we the information. Now we take you to the information. Now we take you to the womens world cup in australia, with the drama continues in sydney. And englands Quarterfinal Game against colombia at, they are leading 2 i against colombia at, they are leading 2 1 after one goal each in the first half, Alessia Russo has scored for england to take the lead with 20 minutes to go. And that was a reaction to that goal, thousands of fans gathering across the country in england to watch this match. Of this was in knaresborough. We speak to our corresponding to shaimaa who is in a fan zone in sydney. You are surrounded by fans there, are they pro england or pro colombia . I surrounded by fans there, are they proengland or procolombia . I would sa it is a proengland or procolombia . I would say it is a colombia proengland or procolombia . I would say it is a colombia crowd proengland or procolombia . I would say it is a colombia crowd for proengland or procolombia . I would say it is a colombia crowd for sure say it is a colombia crowd for sure but there are many england fans. The cheers were hurt when england equalised in the first out and then when they got the second goal. But now is a nice chartering is because Mentor Caicedo for colombia is on the attack and every time the 18 year old colombian player touches the ball at the crowd just goes mad. This is definitely a colombia crowd but i must say, england has delivered quite a performance this evening. We talked about how fans were expecting an entertaining game, a game where the two team is pushed each other, and colombia came out pressing from minute one, it was very equal first half. Colombias first shot on target translated into that goal from leicy santos and then it within minutes, lauren hemp equalised. In the second half, we talked about how physical colombia are. England have taken a leaf out of their book and they have gotten very physical in the second half, their defence was more solid and i think the two players that have been dangerous for england, whether its Linda Caicedo or Mayra Ramirez have been well handled. Another attack by colombia that has been saved by england six defence. But can see the nerves at, excitement and entertainment. As it stands, inventor in the lead to one that but colombia continued to press. We are in a Strange Colombia continued to press. We are in a strange situation colombia continued to press.
