Just a day after 12 migrants tragically died in a failed attempt to cross the English Channel, another boat carrying several dozen people is making a similar journey from northern France on Wednesday, seemingly heading toward Britain.

Associated Press journalists on a beach in Wimereux, situated on the northern French coastline close to Tuesday's deadly sinking site, are broadcasting live video footage. The footage shows an inflatable boat carrying people, presumably migrants, heading out to sea.
