[
Eight people have died overnight while
trying to cross the Channel from
France to England, French police say.
Rescue services were alerted after the
boat got into difficulty in waters north
of Boulogne-sur-mer in the
northern Pas-de-Calais region
after 01:00 local time (00:00 BST).
The rubber vessel had around 50 people
on board and started to sink not long
after leaving the coast.]
