More political pressure to rewrite the agreement which allows UK

A French official calls for migrants in Calais to be allowed to apply

Migrants in Calais who want asylum in the UK should be allowed

to lodge their claim in France, according to the president

Xavier Bertrand told the BBC that people living in the camp known

as "The Jungle" should be able to apply for asylum before

His comments come after two leading contenders for the French presidency

in next year's election - Nicolas Sarkozy and Alain Juppe -

also called for changes to the treaty which allows UK border

Welcome to Fortress Calais, where fences and barbed wire stretch

along the roads and railways that lead to the ferries,

Every day, more are put up to stop people living here illegally

But there is only so much a fence can do.

Calais's shanty-town camp known as The Jungle is growing.

Many here believe part of the problem is the bilateral

agreement known as Le Touquet that sees British border guards

The president of this region says Le Touquet must change or end.

It's not possible to keep the border here without a new cooperation

If the British Government does not want to open this discussion,

we will tell you - Le Touquet agreement is over.

That's a threat, but he has a solution.

Migrants hoping to claim asylum in the UK should be able to do

That is a terrible idea partly because that is not how

You are supposed to apply in the country that

Secondly, I think it would be a huge magnet to draw thousands

more migrants to Calais, who would come to chance

their arm that they might get through to the UK.

Mr Bertrand's intervention highlights how important

the issues of security, of borders, of migration,

He does not have the power to change the Le Touquet accord,

but the French president will have that power.

Elections are due to be held next year and already,

two of the leading contenders for the post have said

One of them, the former president Nicolas Sarkozy, spoke this

He said border controls should be shifted to Britain.

The current French President, who recently met the Prime Minister,

He says the accord is in the interests of both their countries.

But it doesn't feel like it on the roads leading to Calais,

where smugglers block the route so migrants can stow

Tomorrow, the Home Secretary, Amber Rudd, will be in Paris

to meet her opposite number and Calais will be on the agenda.

Our political correspondent, Carole Walker, is here with me now.

Tell us more about the British government's response to this. Amber

Rudd will be having her first meeting with her French counterpart

in Paris tomorrow. Sources close to her are dismissing in some pretty

strong language this whole idea that migrants still in France could claim

asylum in the UK, a complete nonstarter is how one source close

to her described it and said she would be making it crystal clear

that she believes that migrants who are thinking of being refugees

should claim asylum in the first safe country they reach. This is an

internationally recognised principle and as one put it to me, "We are

sticking to it". At the moment, there is no proposal from the trench

government to change these arrangements but as you heard, with

both the leading contenders from the Right seeking changes to it, this

highly contentious issue could yet be reopened just as Britain is

engaged in those even more contentious talks over Brexit. Thank

you for joining us. The comic actor Gene Wilder has

died at the age of 83. One of his best-known performances

was the title role in the film Willy Wonka

and the Chocolate Factory. He collaborated on numerous

occasions with Mel Brooks, who said tonight, "He blessed every

film we did with his magic, and he blessed me

with his friendship." Nick Higham looks back

at Gene Wilder's life and career. # Come with me and you'll be

# In a world of pure imagination...# A young Gene Wilder as Roald Dahl's

fantastical Willy Wonka, a character that has delighted

children for over 40 years. He made his name in the films

like Gene Wilder. Mr Bialystock, I cannot function

he was the burned-out Waco Kid, Acting success led to a career

in private life, a funny man. When I do make jokes,

they are usually not that funny. But if I go in public somewhere,

the first thing people say... "Go on, come on!

Let's have one!" After Mel Brooks, he formed a second

partnership with Richard Pryor, notably as a pair of wrongly

convicted prisoners. I hereby sentence you to serve 125

years in the custody of the Commissioner

of the Department of Corrections. When his third wife died of cancer,

he became a high-profile campaigner for better prevention,

along with Princess Diana. He effectively swapped film roles

for television, But he will be remembered

chiefly for those classic Wilder performances,

combining his bulging eyes and wild hair with rampaging neurosis

and just a touch of sentimentality. Gene Wilder, who's died

in northern Syria to stop fighting each other and focus

on attacking militants Turkish troops moved

across the border last week But since then, they've

concentrated their fire on Kurdish groups who are a key partner

of the US. Our Middle East correspondent,

Quentin Sommerville is in Beirut. A complicated conflict getting even

more complicated. Absolutely. It's a question of priorities and a

question of who is the biggest enemy. The Turks wanted to remove

the Islamic State when they crossed the border, but they wanted to stop

the Kurds. They made that plain from the beginning. The Kurds have been

successful at attacking the Islamic State. But they've been good at

gaining Turkey. One thing -- gaining land. But the conflict between the

Kurds and the Turks is an old one. It predates the Syrian civil war and

the Islamic State. It will probably outlast both of those. What we're

seeing now is the fundamental contradiction in the United States

policy in Syria, take two blood enemies, put them together and tell

them to fight a third enemy. Right now the United States is saying turn

your guns away from each other and concentrate them on Islamic State.

That's critical, because right now so-called Islamic State is on the

back foot. It needs to be tackled from all sides. Thank you.

The suspended Brazilian president, Dilma Rousseff, has been

defending her record in office at her impeachment trial.

She maintained that she's been unjustly accused of breaking rules

Senators are due to vote later this week on whether to

remove her from power, a move she says would be a death

of Dilma Rousseff outside the Senate, as she speaks,

but millions more around the country too who feel that she's

being impeached unfairly. Small numbers and relative lack

of energy is a sign that very few have hope left that she'll

survive this process. Dilma Rousseff's been

on trial before. In her youth, she was jailed

in 2010, receiving the presidential sash from her predecessor

nuts, fish and oils be helpful to someone

who already has heart disease? New research suggests switching

for a long and healthy life. We know a diet of vegetables,

fish, nuts and olive oil is a good one but now,

the claim it can even help The balance of fruit and vegetables

means that there is extra vitamins and related compounds

which are better for you. The Mediterranean diet is genuinely,

I think, more healthy. 1200 patients who had had heart

attacks, strokes and blocked arteries were tracked

over seven years. The ones who followed

a Mediterranean diet were less likely to be amongst those

who died during the study. And healthy hearts are no surprise

here at this Italian deli. We use in our recipes

lots of vegetables and fruits, pasta, pizza, everything

is from the ground. The grilled fish, vegetables,

and lovely meat dishes. Cardiovascular problems account

like this, we may be able to prevent some of that disease and extend some

of those lives. There's a claim Mediterranean

cooking could be more effective than drugs like statins, widely

so polarised in recent decades, that presidential elections tend

all the more difficult is that Republicans, like coach Bill Timko,
