    Don't know why not - technology not my main subject!! Here's the text from the story

    Paramedics are treating several asylum seekers found in a tanker on board a ferry berthed at Dover docks.

    A total of 15 immigrants were found in the vehicle, which is believed to be carrying a powder - believed to be a food substance.

    Thirteen are in a non-critical condition, but two have been taken to hospital.

    Two lorry drivers have been arrested and are in police custody.

    The alarm was raised at 8.45am when the P&O ferry Spirit of France arrived at the Eastern Docks.

    Six fire crews and specialist equipment, together with police and paramedics, were called to the scene.

    Firefighters are checking what the powder is. It is believed to be a food substance, but the emergency services want to make sure it is non-hazardous.

    The incident is being co-ordinated by the Port of Dover police and Dover Harbour Board has confirmed the port remains open and that ferry services are not affected.
