More than 10, including women and children, can be seen climbing off the vessel wearing orange life vests after they were rescued in the English Channel.
The new arrivals come after a weekend of terrible weather likely halted crossings, with Keir Starmer confirming on Saturday the plan to send illegal migrants to the African nation "dead and buried".

The new Prime Minister was asked whether the controversial proposal to send those arriving in the UK illegally to Rwanda was no more.
“It was dead and buried before it even started,” he replied.
Rishi Sunak made stopping the boats one of his five key pledges during his time in Downing Street and chose to continue with the proposal from his predecessor-but-one Boris Johnson.
Mr Sunak had promised flights would get off the ground this month had he been re-elected prime minister.
However, Sir Keir pledged to scrap the scheme during Labour’s election campaign, saying it was unworkable and would only deal with 1 percent of illegal arrivals.

He called it an “absolute waste of money” and said that instead of “throwing good money after bad”, he would spend the money on tackling illegal gangs transporting migrants across the Channel.
