Five migrants including a child have died during an attempt to cross the English Channel in a small boat.
A seven-year-old girl, a woman and three men died in the incident off the coast of Wimereux in northern France, local official Jacques Billant said.
The French coastguard said there was a failed attempt to cross the Channel and there were several "lifeless bodies".
The tragedy came just hours after the UK government's controversial Rwanda bill - intended to deter migrants from crossing the Channel in small boats - was passed.
Some 112 people were on board the overcrowded boat, Mr Billant said.
A total of 47 people were rescued, with four taken to hospital, while more than 50 others chose to continue on their journey, the official added.

SIGH.
I fear you are right.....
Good daddy. Left a life of work and faith for the land of grift and prostitution.
Play stupid games...
Yes the comparison is fair.
The Conservatives have done little in 14 years in fact they’ve encouraged it. Similarly the GOP House has done little.
Both will get crushed because they have disenfranchised their voters and p*ssed off the middle of the road “independent” voter.
The irony is they will vote in the Left who are waiting in opposition. Hardly a solution.
It’s going to get worse before either someone rises among the ranks kind of like Thatcher (I dont see anyone apart from Nigel Farage) or a new party emerges.
I see nothing but political turmoil for years. At least if Donald Trump gets elected it will be interesting.
*womp womp*
You killed her, Dad.
Maybe don’t “migrate”.
