Suspects arrested after migrants drown crossing English Channel - Shamzaib786
Four people have been arrested and charged with manslaughter in France after a boat carrying migrants sank in the English Channel.
Six men drowned when the boat went down near Calais, as they attempted to reach the UK. More than 50 other people were rescued by French and British coastguards. Most of those on board are believed to have been from Afghanistan.
Rescue workers said it was the seventh time that week that they had pulled people from the water. At least two of those detained are reported to have links to human trafficking networks.
The English Channel is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world. More than 17,000 migrants have arrived in the UK so far this year after crossing the Channel in small boats.

Iranian women reject hijabs despite morality police return - BBC Newsnight
In September it will be the anniversary of the death of Mahsa Amini, who was arrested by the Iranian Revolutionary guard for allegedly not wearing the hijab properly.
Last year the movement for "Women, Life, Freedom" exploded onto the streets of Iran, and beyond, but in the country it was met with breath-taking brutality.
More than 500 were blinded deliberately, thousands more arrested. But women are still defying the morality police, despite a renewed crackdown involving mass surveillance, risking violence and incarceration.
The BBC cannot operate in Iran. The internet too, is restricted, and for many its a crime to talk to Western media, but Newsnight's Emir Nader, and producer Ali Hamedani talked to people inside the country to give us this virtual tour of Iran after the Women, Life, Freedom protests.
