Calais refugee camp: France prepares to demolish 'Jungle' camp More than 1,200 police and officials in France are preparing to close down the "Jungle" migrant camp in Calais. Authorities say some seven thousand people live in the camp in squalid conditions. They will be offered placements in refugee Centre’s across France. But there is concern that some migrants will refuse to go because they still want to get to Britain. The UK has begun accepting some of the estimated 1,300 unaccompanied children from the camp. The first group without family ties to the UK has arrived in Britain under the "Dubs amendment" rules, which grant refuge to the most vulnerable. BBC
