Seven migrants drown as boat capsizes at Spain's Canary Islands dock
Spanish emergency services say four women and three girls died when a small boat carrying migrants capsized while arriving to port at one of Spain's Canary Islands on Wednesday. Spain's maritime rescue service, which located the boat some 6 miles (9.6 kilometers) from the shore, said the boat tipped over as rescuers started removing minors as it arrived at a dock on the island of El Hierro. The movement of people on the boat caused it to tip and then turn over, dumping the occupants into the water, the service said. Emergency services for the Canary Islands said four women, a teenage girl and two younger girls perished in the accident. One of the girls was found by a rescue diver. A helicopter evacuated two more children, a girl and a boy, to a local hospital in serious condition after they nearly drowned, the service added. Local media reports said the small boat appeared to be packed with over 100 people. Spanish rescuers and members of the Red Cross pulled people out of the water. The Spanish archipelago located off Africa's western coast has for years been a main route for migrants who risk their lives in dinghies and rubber boats unfit for long journeys in the open sea. Thousands have been known to die on the way to European territory. Nearly 47,000 people who made the crossing last year reached the archipelago, surpassing previous records for a second time. Most were citizens of Mali, Senegal and Morocco, with many boarding boats to Spain from the coast of Mauritania. The arrivals include thousands of unaccompanied minors. Some 10,800 people had arrived via the Atlantic to the Canary Islands by mid-May, which was down by 34% compared to the same period in 2024.

Ship that struck Brooklyn Bridge was under control of pilot from New York, head of Mexico's navy says
Mexico's Secretary of the Navy claimed Tuesday that a pilot from New York was in control at the time the ship crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge. Raymundo Pedro Morales spoke at a news conference with Mexico's president. "In particular, in New York, the ship has to be controlled by a specialized harbor pilot from the New York Government, so the entire maneuver that the ship made from the moment it left the dock until the collision was under the control of the pilot," Morales said in Spanish. Morales claimed that the pilot had very little time to act, because the distance from where the ship was docked to the bridge was very short. CBS News New York is reaching out to local officials for comment. Meanwhile, the National Transportation Safety Board is still waiting for permission from the Mexican government to board the ship. The Cuauhtémoc remains docked at Pier A on Manhattan's Lower East Side. Two sailors died in the crash. The NTSB says it will be looking at three components that could have played a role, including crew operations, the condition of the vessel, and the wind and tides. A prayer vigil is being planned for Wednesday night in Brooklyn.
