First, there are a growing number of desperate people who are trying

:00:23.:00:25.

to get to the UK from Calais in northern France.

:00:26.:00:27.

They are migrants, from places like Africa, Syria and Afghanistan, who

:00:28.:00:30.

are trying to escape from problems in their home countries, but aren't

:00:31.:00:33.

Extra security has been brought in to try to stop them jumping

:00:34.:00:38.

This is the French port of Calais, the nearest port to England and that

:00:39.:00:55.

is why it is targeted by migrants, many of them coming from war-torn

:00:56.:01:00.

countries such as Afghanistan and Syria. Many hope to head onto

lorries that will drive onto the ferry and that will head onto the

increasingly angry. The migrants say the police are heavy-handed and say

:01:29.:01:32.

they have nowhere else to go. We were in the road, to get to the

:01:33.:01:34.

truck. Each day it is thought more migrants

:01:35.:01:51.

will arrive, leaving the authorities with a big challenge to stay in

:01:52.:01:57.

control of an ever more volatile situation. The authorities have

:01:58.:02:01.

increased their presence, but they say they need more help from the

in eastern Ukraine. During peace talks the Ukrainian

army came to a deal with The Ukrainian government says it

:02:11.:02:12.

will save the lives The fighting started because some

:02:13.:02:27.

people in Ukraine want to be more closely tied with Europe while

:02:28.:02:29.

others want a stronger partnership with Russia.

:02:30.:02:32.

Now, have you got an old musical instrument lurking

:02:33.:02:34.

Pianist James Rhodes wants people to donate them to schools, because he's

:02:35.:02:39.

worried by the lack of money for pupils to learn about music.

:02:40.:02:41.

He's launched a big campaign and TV programme to try to fix the problem,

:02:42.:02:48.

The government said that lessons at the moment help people to create and

:02:49.:02:53.

learn all types of music. There are 18,000 primary schools

:02:54.:02:56.

in the UK, that's just over 4 million kids, and music man,
