Two suspected migrants from Iran have been rescued from an inflatable dinghy off the Kent coast near Dover.
Two lifeboats were launched after a 999 call at about 02:15 BST, but were unclear of their exact position.
They were found a mile from the shore after a ferry in the English Channel saw a light from their mobile phone.

The only thing that surprises me about this is that it's the first time it's happened so far as I can see. I don't see this as a potentially significant problem but it'll be interesting to see where they actually sailed from and whether anyone else will try the same thing.
