Views over the port of Dover, south-east England, as ferries were cancelled due to Storm Ciaran. The powerful autumn storm, which hit parts of north-west Europe overnight, particularly the French coast, recorded record wind gusts before heading north and towards England. IMAGES
Border force staff go about their days and boats navigate in and out at the port of Dover after at least four people died when a small boat apparently packed with migrants capsized in freezing temperatures in the Channel overnight, according to the UK government. Dozens of others were plucked from the waters of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes in a large-scale rescue operation involving UK and French emergency services. IMAGES
Scores of lorries can be seen parked along the M20 near Ashford, on the way to Dover, as the major port is closed to outbound traffic following France’s decision to impose a 48-hour blockade on people and lorries crossing the English Channel. More than 36 countries have now begun banning flights and travellers from the UK following the discovery of a mutant strain of coronavirus that has spread across the south of England. IMAGES
