Migrant boat passengers arrive in Dover after extended sea journey

About 60 migrants arrived in Dover on Wednesday morning after more than 30 hours at sea in the English Channel. They were travelling on a small boat and refused help from the French coastguard during the crossing. British rescue boats went out on Tuesday to bring the passengers to safety. The group was then handed over to the UK's Border Security Command. Before reaching Dover, the boat moved east along the coast for several hours. The migrants were determined to reach the UK, even though the journey was long and dangerous. Separately, a group of anti-migrant protesters gathered in Gosport, Hampshire, and police arrested six people there.
