Dozens of migrants have been rescued from a sinking ship in the Mediterranean.
German aid group RESQSHIP said it picked up 51 people from a sinking wooden boat, including two unconscious people, and found ten bodies trapped in the lower deck.
A second ship sank nearby, and 64 people total are still missing from the vessels.
Europe Correspondent Gavin Grey told Mike Hosking that the Mediterranean is the deadliest known migration route in the world.
He said that since 2014, over 23 thousand migrants have died or gone missing in its waters.
