Four migrants have died after attempting to cross the English Channel from Boulogne-sur-Mer in Northern France.
It is understood that rescue efforts, which reportedly included a fishing vessel, saved 63 lives.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said she would appoint a leader of the UK's new Border Security Command within weeks.

Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage posted to X earlier this morning: "4 deaths in the Channel this morning, the new Government had better start moving fast."
