#BBCNews 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. Clive Myrie presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Tom Symonds.

#Taliban #BBCNews The Taliban marked the second anniversary of its return to power yesterday with a public holiday. But few Afghans, both women and men, have much to celebrate. The Taliban, recently stopped most Afghan female staff from working with aid agencies, closed beauty salons, barred women from parks and curtailed their travel in the absence of any male guardian. In March, the UN said that “Afghanistan under the Taliban remains the most repressive country in the world regarding women’s rights.” The fall of Kabul on 15 August 2021 followed the US decision to pull troops out of the country by September that year.
