Countdown to the closure of the migrant camp in Calais | :00:07. | :00:08. | |
Migrants are told to clear the camp ahead of work that will start | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
I don't know what's happening tomorrow when they take us. | :00:15. | :00:29. | |
There is growing tension in the camp with migrants lighting fires and | :00:30. | :00:36. | |
riot police deployed. We will have the latest from Calais. | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
Two more challengers put themselves forward to be | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
the next leader of UKIP - amid more infighting in the party. | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
The cost of the battle for Mosul - Kurdish families mourn their dead | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
as they capture more territory from Islamic State militants. | :00:48. | :00:55. | |
And the writer Jimmy Perry - who brought us Dad's Army and many | :00:56. | :01:04. | |
more television greats - has died at the age of 93. | :01:05. | :01:23. | |
The French authorities are tonight preparing an operation to dismantle | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
the migrant camp at Calais, known as the Jungle. | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
Thousands of migrants will be moved tomorrow to reception centres | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
across France - before demolition work begins on Tuesday. | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
Today, a small number of children from the camp, arrived in London | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
under a law protecting the most vulnerable. | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
Our Europe Correspondent Lucy Williamson is in | :01:40. | :01:40. | |
Lucy? For many migrants this is their last | :01:41. | :01:53. | |
night in the camp. Over the past few months numbers here have grown. It's | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
become harder and harder to reach the UK. Francois Hollande has said | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
he wants this camp closed completely and definitively. And inside the | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
camp today the mood was generally one of acceptance. | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
Resignation is written all around this camp. | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
The fire sale of personal possessions. | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
To governments, this was Europe's biggest shantytown, | :02:19. | :02:27. | |
But life here has become so difficult that, many say, | :02:28. | :02:37. | |
Like Ali, who arrived here two months ago from Afghanistan. | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
I don't know what's happening tomorrow when they take us | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
I want to stay in France. I like France. | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
This used to be the camp's main bustling High Street. | :02:51. | :03:00. | |
There were restaurants here serving fresh Afghan bread, hot tea, | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
Now, it's the scene of the final goodbye parties, as people's anger | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
By the time officials arrived today with leaflets and explanations, | :03:10. | :03:17. | |
aid workers say many residents had already left. | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
60 buses are due to arrive tomorrow to begin the evacuation. | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
It's meant to be an orderly week long clearance. | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
The worry is that many here won't want to wait that long. | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
And, of course, there are those who don't | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
I'll sleep on the street if they remove the camp. | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
I have just one hope. It's just to get the UK. | :03:42. | :03:50. | |
This camp was born two years ago, out of a local problem. | :03:51. | :03:58. | |
Residents angered by migrants sleeping rough in the town. | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
Its closure is the result of growing political pressure | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
on national leaders, both across the Channel | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
TRANSLATION: On both sides of the Channel, we are on the eve | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
The day of the dismantling of the jungle. | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
We've worked towards it for two months. | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
Some have said goodbye to homes and friendships many times. | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
The jungle is finished, one man told me. | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
But the stories of everyone here will carry on. | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
And Lucy joins us live now from outside the camp - | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
There is a great deal of acceptance in the camp. In the last couple of | :04:37. | :04:47. | |
hours there have been small skirmishes with migrants setting | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
fire to toilet blocks and riot police responding with charges. | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
Police do say they expect that a small group of migrants and | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
activists may resist the evictions that start tomorrow when the first | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
bus-load of migrants are taking out to centres across France. Some | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
migrants have already been processed. The UK and France have | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
been negotiating quite hard over the fate of some of the most vulnerable | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
in the camp, some of the young people under 18. In fact, the first | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
bus-load of those most vulnerable children did arrive in the UK over | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
the weekend. Something aid workers themselves are very concerned about, | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
they say that during the last clearance of the southern part of | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
the camp earlier this year many children were lost, they disappeared | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
in that process, and they don't want the same thing to happen again. | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
There is quite a bit of pressure on the government both in France and in | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
the UK to speed up that process, to get those children processed | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
quickly, and to not let them fall through the cracks. | :05:49. | :05:49. | |
Many thanks. Well last year a million | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
migrants arrived in Europe. Germany adopted an open door policy | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
towards those fleeing But other European countries | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
were less accepting - and over the past year there's been | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
a hardening of political attitudes Our Special Correspondent Fergal | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
Keane has travelled along the migrant route from the Balkans | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
to Calais, to test the new mood. On the Hungarian frontier | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
with Serbia, it feels as if a great fortress is being defended - | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
from the refugees and migrants They repeat the refrain I have heard | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
on the migrant trail for years now. I want to go to a better life, | :06:25. | :06:34. | |
because Afghanistan They made it this far before borders | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
further south started to close. Now you can see people streaming | :06:38. | :06:51. | |
towards us, across the fields. I can hear shouts of men, | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
the cries of children, Last October, 211,000 landed | :06:59. | :07:00. | |
in the Balkans. I was here a year ago to witness | :07:01. | :07:08. | |
this fence going up. That moment which symbolised | :07:09. | :07:16. | |
what you might call Politicians across Western Europe | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
have been, since then, It has become one | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
of the great defining In Budapest, the government has | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
rejected refugee quotas. Hungary, recasting itself | :07:29. | :07:38. | |
as the defender of European, And of a new continent, | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
where camps like Calais Schengen, as we have | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
announced many times, Calais cannot be sorted | :07:47. | :07:55. | |
out until you are able to defend your borders | :07:56. | :08:06. | |
in the south and east. We followed the migrant trail | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
through Austria, into Bavaria, where history's shade looms | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
over the present. Hitler had a headquarters | :08:11. | :08:12. | |
and holiday home at Berchtesgaden. And when he was defeated, | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
thousands of Jewish survivors were housed | :08:19. | :08:19. | |
in temporary camps nearby. That legacy profoundly shaped | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
Germany's initial welcome There are around 1000 | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
living in this area. Germany, too, began to impose strict | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
border controls last year. Amaar is from Syria and is the house | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
guest of Marietta, While public opinion has shifted, | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
Amaar still finds Germans tolerant. TRANSLATION: | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
It's nice to live How Germans live and what | :08:50. | :09:05. | |
we are like in Europe. But political momentum is with those | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
opposed to asylum seekers. The far right has gained votes | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
by promising a crackdown, like this grandson of | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
a German wartime refugee. TRANSLATION: | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
The people are upset. Upset because of the | :09:23. | :09:24. | |
government decisions. There are many people who say, | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
we were not asked, we want to be asked if such important | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
decisions are made. They are questioning | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
the cost of this. By the time I reached Calais, | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
with the British shore in view, the political mood in Europe | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
was vividly clearer. In the nearby Jungle, | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
people were already moving, most of them single young men, | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
ahead of the camp's demolition. This Iraqi family has | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
been here six weeks, but will soon be moved | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
elsewhere in France. TRANSLATION: | :09:58. | :09:59. | |
We are only There is no other | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
country in our minds. We don't want to go anywhere else, | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
for the sake of our Closing The Jungle will not | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
deal with the problem, And in Africa, the Middle East, | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
and large parts of Asia, there are vast numbers of people | :10:16. | :10:27. | |
who believe that getting to Europe As long as conflicts and endemic | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
poverty in these parts of the world continue, then, | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
however hard a line Europe takes, it won't be enough to stem the flow | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
of refugees and migrants. Fergal Keane, BBC News, | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
Calais. Meanwhile nearly 2,500 | :10:41. | :11:07. | |
migrants were rescued from the Mediterranean yesterday - | :11:08. | :11:08. | |
according to the Italian coastguard. Twenty separate operations | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
were carried out on routes Some of those rescued have | :11:12. | :11:13. | |
been taken to Sicily. Paul Nuttall said he'd | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
unify the different factions within the party, | :11:17. | :11:18. | |
while Suzanne Evans said UKIP must shed what she | :11:19. | :11:20. | |
called its 'toxic image'. The party has been in turmoil | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
since the vote to leave the EU, and the previous leader chosen | :11:23. | :11:24. | |
to succeed Nigel Farage lasted less Here's our Political Correspondent | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
Ben Wright. Ukip's moment of triumph | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
just four months ago. But since the referendum the party | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
has unravelled in a blaze of Diane James resigned | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
from the leadership One of the front | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
runners to replace her, Steven Woolfe, quit the party last | :11:47. | :12:00. | |
Monday following an altercation at the European Parliament that | :12:01. | :12:02. | |
left him in hospital. Steven Woolfe claimed the party | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
was in a death spiral. Today, Ukip's latest leadership | :12:07. | :12:08. | |
contender pledged to make the party less toxic, | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
accusing arrival of wanting to mimic the | :12:12. | :12:13. | |
politics of Donald Trump. I don't see a groundswell of opinion | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
in this country for more far I don't see a groundswell | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
of opinion for the right You know, all those, | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
kind of, Trump Tea Party... Do you think Raheem Kassam, | :12:23. | :12:29. | |
who looks to be like the front runner at the moment, | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
is going to take the party in the far right direction | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
as you would characterise it? Yes, yes, absolutely, | :12:36. | :12:37. | |
I don't think there's But within an hour Ukip's | :12:38. | :12:39. | |
caretaker leader had tried to torpedo | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
Suzanne Evans' campaign. For her to talk about the party | :12:43. | :12:43. | |
being toxic, for her to already declare one of the candidates | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
who is running, Raheem Kassam, as being far right, I don't view | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
this as being a very good start. Raheem Kassam was a former chief | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
of staff to Nigel Farage. Today he brushed aside | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
the criticism from Suzanne Evans. I certainly do not | :12:56. | :12:57. | |
consider myself far right. I think she never considered me far | :12:58. | :13:06. | |
right when she asked for my help Hoping to rise above | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
the fray is another new candidate, Ukip's | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
former deputy leader. I've made the decision that I'll | :13:15. | :13:15. | |
put my name forward to be I have huge support out | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
there across the country. Not only amongst people | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
at the top of the party in Westminster and with the MEPs, | :13:22. | :13:23. | |
but also amongst the grassroots. And I want to stand on a platform | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
of being the unity candidate. With Britain on its way out | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
of the EU, Ukip is left searching The animosity at the top | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
of the party runs deep. Its future has never | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
looked so uncertain. It's now a week since Iraqi | :13:41. | :13:41. | |
and Kurdish troops launched their offensive to recapture | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
the city of Mosul from Today Kurdish forces have been | :13:46. | :13:47. | |
