At least five migrants feared dead trying to cross English Channel
At least five migrants died in an attempt to cross the English Channel from an area near the French town of Wimereux on Tuesday, police said.
The French coast guard confirmed a police rescue operation had found several "lifeless bodies" following a failed attempt to cross the Channel.
A coast guard spokesperson said its agents were still operating at sea after what the official called a "busy" morning, with several crossing attempts.
The attempts took place after Britain's upper house of parliament passed legislation on Monday night that will allow the U.K. government to send asylum-seekers to Rwanda rather than stay in Britain for processing.
