Fishermen pull 31 people from Channel as boat capsizes

A group of fishermen pulled 31 people alive from the English Channel after a migrant boat capsized on Wednesday.

Ben Squire, who owns Plymouth-based boat Oceanic Drifter Fishing, says a โ€œrigid inflatable boatโ€ was โ€œsinking very, very nearโ€ to where the skipper of his boat was fishing.
