Ten African migrants who became stuck in the snow trying to cross the Alps illegally on foot from Italy into France have been rescued. The authorities say they’ve now been taken to a reception centre near the city of Turin.
Overnight they had called an emergency line asking for help. Four people are still missing, but mountain rescue teams say evidence they found suggests that they may have reached France. Some migrants take the dangerous Alpine route to avoid French border controls on the coast. Last week, seven humanitarian activists went on trial in France accused of helping migrants to cross the Alps illegally from Italy. BBC
