A group of Tunisian migrants onboard a small dingy in the Mediterranean ocean has told rescuers from the Aquarius charity ship "we don't want to be rescued".
The migrants were heading for Lampedusa, an Italian island. They were later picked up by the Italian coastguard and will likely be sent back from where they came from.
The Aquarius carrying 114 migrants has since docked in Malta after another standoff between EU members.
