| Migrant crisis: Thirteen die in ferry collision off Turkey | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| At least 13 migrants have died after their dinghy and a ferry collided off Turkey, the coastguard there says. | |
| The accident happened close to the port of Canakkale. The boat was reportedly on its way to the Greek island of Lesbos. | |
| The coastguard said eight people were rescued, with one seriously injured, and the operation is ongoing. | |
| Meanwhile tens of thousands of migrants continue to cross Balkan borders, many of them now passing into Austria. | |
| Long queues of both people and traffic have been reported at Slovenia's borders with Croatia and Austria amid tighter restrictions. | |
| Austria, Hungary and Croatia have all accused each other of failing to deal effectively with the new arrivals. | |
| Turkey's coastguard said it raised the alarm after being told that a commercial vessel and a migrant boat had collided off Canakkale. | |
| It is believed to be the second migrant boat to have sunk between Turkey and Greece on Sunday. | |
| In the other incident, Greece's coastguard said it had rescued 20 people spotted in the water near the island of Lesbos - a further 26 people are feared to be missing. | |
| On Saturday, a five-year-old girl died and 13 people were left missing after their boat also sank off Lesbos. |
