A mega-dinghy has capsized in the English channel this morning, killing multiple migrants.
At least three people died and dozens of others were severely injured off the coast of northern France today.

Smugglers are actively taking advantage of calm seas and good weather to pack people into these fragile boats.
People are not just drowning in the freezing water. Others have been crushed to death in the sheer panic of overcrowded dinghies.
A spokesman for the Pas-de-Calais confirmed the devastation, stating there is "a provisional total of three deaths and many more injured."
This comes just days after three other people died simply scrambling to get a place on board a boat last week.
French prosecutors have officially opened criminal enquiries into all of these recent tragedies
