Sept 28 (Reuters) - Three migrants, including one child, died on Monday while attempting to cross the Channel from France to Britain, French authorities said on Monday.

France’s maritime police said it received a distress call from an inflatable dinghy carrying 105 people that had run into trouble in calm seas.

The incident occurred hours before Pope Leo was due to pronounce a speech on European peace and unity.
