At least eight people have died in the capsizing of a boat in Saint-Louis, in the north of Senegal, on the migratory route linking the country to the Spanish archipelago of the Canary Islands, says Interior Minister Antoine Felix Diome after visiting the emergency room where three survivors lay injured. "I would like to invite those who make certain statements to check them more thoroughly before communicating them ... We already have too much emotion with the disappearance of the eight people" he says to the press gathered on the quayside where a search and rescue team has set up base. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
