HMS Bulwark is sailing towards Libya at top speed to take part in an operation to save thousands of migrants stranded at sea.


In an unprecedented move, all European naval ships in the region have been ordered to go the area.

Intelligence has suggested that as many as 14 migrant vessels are on the open water.

It comes as a senior naval officer says that up to half a million migrants are gathering on Libya's border to try and make the dangerous journey to mainland Europe.
