Second person in two days dies trying to cross Channel

THE government faced fresh calls to take real responsibility for those seeking safety after another person died crossing the Channel today.

It comes just a day after another person tragically lost their lives making the same journey.

A boat initially set off without 40 people on board, but then came back to shore three hours later and picked up more people from the coast of Gravelines, in northern France.
