:00:07. > :00:08.Countdown to the closure of the migrant camp in Calais

:00:09. > :00:14.Migrants are told to clear the camp ahead of work that will start

:00:15. > :00:29.I don't know what's happening tomorrow when they take us.

:00:30. > :00:36.There is growing tension in the camp with migrants lighting fires and

:00:37. > :00:38.riot police deployed. We will have the latest from Calais.

:00:39. > :00:41.Two more challengers put themselves forward to be

:00:42. > :00:44.the next leader of UKIP - amid more infighting in the party.

:00:45. > :00:47.The cost of the battle for Mosul - Kurdish families mourn their dead

:00:48. > :00:55.as they capture more territory from Islamic State militants.

:00:56. > :01:04.And the writer Jimmy Perry - who brought us Dad's Army and many

:01:05. > :01:23.more television greats - has died at the age of 93.

:01:24. > :01:25.The French authorities are tonight preparing an operation to dismantle

:01:26. > :01:28.the migrant camp at Calais, known as the Jungle.

:01:29. > :01:30.Thousands of migrants will be moved tomorrow to reception centres

:01:31. > :01:34.across France - before demolition work begins on Tuesday.

:01:35. > :01:37.Today, a small number of children from the camp, arrived in London

:01:38. > :01:39.under a law protecting the most vulnerable.

:01:40. > :01:40.Our Europe Correspondent Lucy Williamson is in

:01:41. > :01:53.Lucy? For many migrants this is their last

:01:54. > :01:56.night in the camp. Over the past few months numbers here have grown. It's

:01:57. > :02:03.become harder and harder to reach the UK. Francois Hollande has said

:02:04. > :02:06.he wants this camp closed completely and definitively. And inside the

:02:07. > :02:08.camp today the mood was generally one of acceptance.

:02:09. > :02:11.Resignation is written all around this camp.

:02:12. > :02:18.The fire sale of personal possessions.

:02:19. > :02:27.To governments, this was Europe's biggest shantytown,

:02:28. > :02:37.But life here has become so difficult that, many say,

:02:38. > :02:40.Like Ali, who arrived here two months ago from Afghanistan.

:02:41. > :02:44.I don't know what's happening tomorrow when they take us

:02:45. > :02:50.I want to stay in France. I like France.

:02:51. > :03:00.This used to be the camp's main bustling High Street.

:03:01. > :03:02.There were restaurants here serving fresh Afghan bread, hot tea,

:03:03. > :03:09.Now, it's the scene of the final goodbye parties, as people's anger

:03:10. > :03:17.By the time officials arrived today with leaflets and explanations,

:03:18. > :03:22.aid workers say many residents had already left.

:03:23. > :03:27.60 buses are due to arrive tomorrow to begin the evacuation.

:03:28. > :03:30.It's meant to be an orderly week long clearance.

:03:31. > :03:33.The worry is that many here won't want to wait that long.

:03:34. > :03:35.And, of course, there are those who don't

:03:36. > :03:41.I'll sleep on the street if they remove the camp.

:03:42. > :03:50.I have just one hope. It's just to get the UK.

:03:51. > :03:58.This camp was born two years ago, out of a local problem.

:03:59. > :04:00.Residents angered by migrants sleeping rough in the town.

:04:01. > :04:02.Its closure is the result of growing political pressure

:04:03. > :04:04.on national leaders, both across the Channel

:04:05. > :04:10.TRANSLATION: On both sides of the Channel, we are on the eve

:04:11. > :04:14.The day of the dismantling of the jungle.

:04:15. > :04:17.We've worked towards it for two months.

:04:18. > :04:23.Some have said goodbye to homes and friendships many times.

:04:24. > :04:25.The jungle is finished, one man told me.

:04:26. > :04:30.But the stories of everyone here will carry on.

:04:31. > :04:36.And Lucy joins us live now from outside the camp -

:04:37. > :04:47.There is a great deal of acceptance in the camp. In the last couple of

:04:48. > :04:51.hours there have been small skirmishes with migrants setting

:04:52. > :04:56.fire to toilet blocks and riot police responding with charges.

:04:57. > :05:00.Police do say they expect that a small group of migrants and

:05:01. > :05:04.activists may resist the evictions that start tomorrow when the first

:05:05. > :05:10.bus-load of migrants are taking out to centres across France. Some

:05:11. > :05:13.migrants have already been processed. The UK and France have

:05:14. > :05:18.been negotiating quite hard over the fate of some of the most vulnerable

:05:19. > :05:22.in the camp, some of the young people under 18. In fact, the first

:05:23. > :05:27.bus-load of those most vulnerable children did arrive in the UK over

:05:28. > :05:30.the weekend. Something aid workers themselves are very concerned about,

:05:31. > :05:34.they say that during the last clearance of the southern part of

:05:35. > :05:37.the camp earlier this year many children were lost, they disappeared

:05:38. > :05:41.in that process, and they don't want the same thing to happen again.

:05:42. > :05:45.There is quite a bit of pressure on the government both in France and in

:05:46. > :05:48.the UK to speed up that process, to get those children processed

:05:49. > :05:49.quickly, and to not let them fall through the cracks.

:05:50. > :05:52.Many thanks. Well last year a million

:05:53. > :05:54.migrants arrived in Europe. Germany adopted an open door policy

:05:55. > :05:56.towards those fleeing But other European countries

:05:57. > :06:02.were less accepting - and over the past year there's been

:06:03. > :06:05.a hardening of political attitudes Our Special Correspondent Fergal

:06:06. > :06:11.Keane has travelled along the migrant route from the Balkans

:06:12. > :06:18.to Calais, to test the new mood. On the Hungarian frontier

:06:19. > :06:22.with Serbia, it feels as if a great fortress is being defended -

:06:23. > :06:24.from the refugees and migrants They repeat the refrain I have heard

:06:25. > :06:34.on the migrant trail for years now. I want to go to a better life,

:06:35. > :06:37.because Afghanistan They made it this far before borders

:06:38. > :06:51.further south started to close. Now you can see people streaming

:06:52. > :06:58.towards us, across the fields. I can hear shouts of men,

:06:59. > :07:00.the cries of children, Last October, 211,000 landed

:07:01. > :07:08.in the Balkans. I was here a year ago to witness

:07:09. > :07:16.this fence going up. That moment which symbolised

:07:17. > :07:18.what you might call Politicians across Western Europe

:07:19. > :07:23.have been, since then, It has become one

:07:24. > :07:28.of the great defining In Budapest, the government has

:07:29. > :07:38.rejected refugee quotas. Hungary, recasting itself

:07:39. > :07:40.as the defender of European, And of a new continent,

:07:41. > :07:46.where camps like Calais Schengen, as we have

:07:47. > :07:55.announced many times, Calais cannot be sorted

:07:56. > :08:06.out until you are able to defend your borders

:08:07. > :08:08.in the south and east. We followed the migrant trail

:08:09. > :08:10.through Austria, into Bavaria, where history's shade looms

:08:11. > :08:12.over the present. Hitler had a headquarters

:08:13. > :08:18.and holiday home at Berchtesgaden. And when he was defeated,

:08:19. > :08:19.thousands of Jewish survivors were housed

:08:20. > :08:25.in temporary camps nearby. That legacy profoundly shaped

:08:26. > :08:27.Germany's initial welcome There are around 1000

:08:28. > :08:33.living in this area. Germany, too, began to impose strict

:08:34. > :08:40.border controls last year. Amaar is from Syria and is the house

:08:41. > :08:43.guest of Marietta, While public opinion has shifted,

:08:44. > :08:49.Amaar still finds Germans tolerant. TRANSLATION:

:08:50. > :09:05.It's nice to live How Germans live and what

:09:06. > :09:11.we are like in Europe. But political momentum is with those

:09:12. > :09:15.opposed to asylum seekers. The far right has gained votes

:09:16. > :09:17.by promising a crackdown, like this grandson of

:09:18. > :09:22.a German wartime refugee. TRANSLATION:

:09:23. > :09:24.The people are upset. Upset because of the

:09:25. > :09:29.government decisions. There are many people who say,

:09:30. > :09:33.we were not asked, we want to be asked if such important

:09:34. > :09:35.decisions are made. They are questioning

:09:36. > :09:40.the cost of this. By the time I reached Calais,

:09:41. > :09:43.with the British shore in view, the political mood in Europe

:09:44. > :09:47.was vividly clearer. In the nearby Jungle,

:09:48. > :09:51.people were already moving, most of them single young men,

:09:52. > :09:55.ahead of the camp's demolition. This Iraqi family has

:09:56. > :09:57.been here six weeks, but will soon be moved

:09:58. > :09:59.elsewhere in France. TRANSLATION:

:10:00. > :10:03.We are only There is no other

:10:04. > :10:07.country in our minds. We don't want to go anywhere else,

:10:08. > :10:10.for the sake of our Closing The Jungle will not

:10:11. > :10:15.deal with the problem, And in Africa, the Middle East,

:10:16. > :10:27.and large parts of Asia, there are vast numbers of people

:10:28. > :10:30.who believe that getting to Europe As long as conflicts and endemic

:10:31. > :10:34.poverty in these parts of the world continue, then,

:10:35. > :10:37.however hard a line Europe takes, it won't be enough to stem the flow

:10:38. > :10:40.of refugees and migrants. Fergal Keane, BBC News,

:10:41. > :11:07.Calais. Meanwhile nearly 2,500

:11:08. > :11:08.migrants were rescued from the Mediterranean yesterday -

:11:09. > :11:11.according to the Italian coastguard. Twenty separate operations

:11:12. > :11:13.were carried out on routes Some of those rescued have

:11:14. > :11:16.been taken to Sicily. Paul Nuttall said he'd

:11:17. > :11:18.unify the different factions within the party,

:11:19. > :11:20.while Suzanne Evans said UKIP must shed what she

:11:21. > :11:22.called its 'toxic image'. The party has been in turmoil

:11:23. > :11:24.since the vote to leave the EU, and the previous leader chosen

:11:25. > :11:27.to succeed Nigel Farage lasted less Here's our Political Correspondent

:11:28. > :11:32.Ben Wright. Ukip's moment of triumph

:11:33. > :11:35.just four months ago. But since the referendum the party

:11:36. > :11:41.has unravelled in a blaze of Diane James resigned

:11:42. > :11:46.from the leadership One of the front

:11:47. > :12:00.runners to replace her, Steven Woolfe, quit the party last

:12:01. > :12:02.Monday following an altercation at the European Parliament that

:12:03. > :12:06.left him in hospital. Steven Woolfe claimed the party

:12:07. > :12:08.was in a death spiral. Today, Ukip's latest leadership

:12:09. > :12:11.contender pledged to make the party less toxic,

:12:12. > :12:13.accusing arrival of wanting to mimic the

:12:14. > :12:16.politics of Donald Trump. I don't see a groundswell of opinion

:12:17. > :12:19.in this country for more far I don't see a groundswell

:12:20. > :12:22.of opinion for the right You know, all those,

:12:23. > :12:29.kind of, Trump Tea Party... Do you think Raheem Kassam,

:12:30. > :12:32.who looks to be like the front runner at the moment,

:12:33. > :12:35.is going to take the party in the far right direction

:12:36. > :12:37.as you would characterise it? Yes, yes, absolutely,

:12:38. > :12:39.I don't think there's But within an hour Ukip's

:12:40. > :12:42.caretaker leader had tried to torpedo

:12:43. > :12:43.Suzanne Evans' campaign. For her to talk about the party

:12:44. > :12:46.being toxic, for her to already declare one of the candidates

:12:47. > :12:49.who is running, Raheem Kassam, as being far right, I don't view

:12:50. > :12:52.this as being a very good start. Raheem Kassam was a former chief

:12:53. > :12:55.of staff to Nigel Farage. Today he brushed aside

:12:56. > :12:57.the criticism from Suzanne Evans. I certainly do not

:12:58. > :13:06.consider myself far right. I think she never considered me far

:13:07. > :13:09.right when she asked for my help Hoping to rise above

:13:10. > :13:14.the fray is another new candidate, Ukip's

:13:15. > :13:15.former deputy leader. I've made the decision that I'll

:13:16. > :13:18.put my name forward to be I have huge support out

:13:19. > :13:21.there across the country. Not only amongst people

:13:22. > :13:23.at the top of the party in Westminster and with the MEPs,

:13:24. > :13:26.but also amongst the grassroots. And I want to stand on a platform

:13:27. > :13:33.of being the unity candidate. With Britain on its way out

:13:34. > :13:36.of the EU, Ukip is left searching The animosity at the top

:13:37. > :13:40.of the party runs deep. Its future has never

:13:41. > :13:41.looked so uncertain. It's now a week since Iraqi

:13:42. > :13:45.and Kurdish troops launched their offensive to recapture

:13:46. > :13:47.the city of Mosul from Today Kurdish forces have been

:13:48. > :13:51.carrying out new attacks Their commanders say they've made

:13:52. > :13:58.big advances into IS territory. Our correspondent Orla Guerin has

:13:59. > :14:06.been following Kurdish Peshmerga fighters -

:14:07. > :14:14.for the last week, and has sent us this report

:14:15. > :14:16.from Soran, in Northern Iraq. In this scenic valley

:14:17. > :14:19.they are mourning their sons. The shadow of death hangs over

:14:20. > :14:26.the town of Soran. 16 men from this area have died

:14:27. > :14:30.battling IS this week. All were fighters with

:14:31. > :14:39.the Kurdish Peshmerga. 11-year-old Hussain lost his father,

:14:40. > :14:40.Zahir Sallah Abdullah. Now a boy's wrist

:14:41. > :14:48.carries a man's watch. Farsat, a gunner, was

:14:49. > :14:57.there when Zahir died. TRANSLATION: The last time we spoke

:14:58. > :15:02.was 25 minutes before it happened. I told him, take care,

:15:03. > :15:04.twice I had to pull him back He said to me, brother, you look

:15:05. > :15:12.after yourself, I will be fine. This is the last picture of Zahir,

:15:13. > :15:15.taken two days before Relatives told us he was poor

:15:16. > :15:24.and in debt but determined I really loved him,

:15:25. > :16:03.she whispers, he was a good man, I would sacrifice everything

:16:04. > :16:06.for him, he was a son of Kurdistan, And here is Zahir's daughter,

:16:07. > :16:19.Kani, robbed of her father The grief here is fused

:16:20. > :16:29.with a yearning for revenge. Zahir's sister Herwin,

:16:30. > :16:31.vows the whole family will fight Let his sons be Peshmerga

:16:32. > :16:39.with their uncles, and the women, too, his widow and I,

:16:40. > :16:49.we will all take up arms. Zahir lies in a cemetery

:16:50. > :16:52.on a hillside, a remote corner He is buried alongside

:16:53. > :16:59.a commander who was killed Before Mosul is freed locals expect

:17:00. > :17:05.to fill many more graves. Orla Guerin, BBC News,

:17:06. > :17:13.Soran, northern Iraq. The Democratic presidential nominee

:17:14. > :17:16.Hillary Clinton has said she no longer cares what her Republican

:17:17. > :17:20.rival Donald Trump might say and that she will now

:17:21. > :17:23.focus on issues instead. With new polls suggesting a widening

:17:24. > :17:26.lead for her campaign she didn't "even think

:17:27. > :17:29.about responding to him any more." America will vote

:17:30. > :17:36.in just over two weeks' time. The American telecommunications

:17:37. > :17:38.giant AT is to buy the media firm Time Warner for more

:17:39. > :17:42.than $85 billion. With more people watching TV

:17:43. > :17:48.and films on their mobiles, the deal would allow AT access

:17:49. > :17:50.to Time Warner's content - which in turn could be

:17:51. > :17:52.distributed more widely. But regulators would need

:17:53. > :17:55.to approve it first - and critics say the creation of one
