Newsround here with all of Thursday's top stories.

:00:00.:00:07.

I'm Ricky with some of this on the way.

:00:08.:00:09.

No brakes, no steering wheel - the car that drives itself.

:00:10.:00:12.

And the world's biggest boy band kick off the UK leg of their tour.

:00:13.:00:21.

First, to the city of Calais in France where hundreds

:00:22.:00:24.

of people living in makeshift camps have been made to leave.

:00:25.:00:28.

The people are migrants who have come from the Middle East, Asia and

:00:29.:00:31.

But French authorities say the camps are a danger to people's

:00:32.:00:37.

For months, these people have been living under

:00:38.:00:44.

sheets and plastic bags, with no power, water and little food.

:00:45.:00:47.

They've now packed everything up and left.

:00:48.:00:50.

Many people who've been living here want to come to the UK to start

:00:51.:00:56.

Some of them have fled war torn countries

:00:57.:01:00.

The camps are all close to the port in Calais

:01:01.:01:05.

in France where ferries cross the English Channel to Britain.

:01:06.:01:08.

French authorities say the camps needed to be cleared because of

:01:09.:01:11.

a contagious skin condition called scabies, which they say is spreading

:01:12.:01:14.

A deadline was set for people in the camps to leave this morning

:01:15.:01:19.

and the police arrived to make sure they had gone.

:01:20.:01:22.

This was despite protests from some migrants who wanted to stay.

:01:23.:01:28.

This is the Syrian camp next to the port and the police are working

:01:29.:01:35.

their way through tent by tent, looking inside, seeing who is in

:01:36.:01:39.

there. There has been announcements on a loud speaker, telling people

:01:40.:01:44.

they need to move on. No one knows where they're supposed to go. There

:01:45.:01:48.

are buses parked on the road behind the camp. No one seem to know where

:01:49.:01:52.

the buses will take them. At some point we expect this whole camp to

:01:53.:01:56.

be bulldozed. Since then makeshift camps have

:01:57.:02:06.

sprung up around the port. Local officials in Calais say

:02:07.:02:08.

the migrants were offered buses to take them to new accommodation,

:02:09.:02:11.

but many didn't want to get on. It's not clear now where

:02:12.:02:15.

the migrants will go, but what is clear is that this camp

:02:16.:02:17.

is no longer an option. Next, many of you have been looking

:02:18.:02:21.

forward to this for months and now One Direction are just hours

Now imagine a car that drives you to school,

:04:29.:04:31.

or takes you to see your mates without anyone behind the wheel?

:04:32.:04:34.

Well it may not be that far off, because Google has announced it's

:04:35.:04:38.

going to start building self-driving cars.

:04:39.:04:40.

The company plans to build 100 vehicles

:04:41.:04:42.

which won't have steering wheels or pedals, simply stop and go buttons.

:04:43.:04:45.

Some people say driverless cars could reduce car crashes,

:04:46.:04:47.

but some researchers believe they could make traffic worse.

:04:48.:04:50.
