0:00:16 > 0:00:20Welcome to a special edition of Reporters.
0:00:20 > 0:00:24I am Simon Jones, here at the Jungle camp in Calais.
0:00:24 > 0:00:30As the French authorities complete their operation to clear the site,
0:00:30 > 0:00:33we have a range of reports looking at the issues now facing France
0:00:33 > 0:00:35and Britain and what lessons Britain can learn from the crisis.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Coming up, the exodus begins.
0:00:37 > 0:00:42Lucy Williamson joins some of the thousands of migrants
0:00:42 > 0:00:46as they leave the Calais camp in search of a better life and finds
0:00:46 > 0:00:47many desperate to get out.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Their motivation for coming here to Calais was once
0:00:49 > 0:00:53all about the final destination, their dreams of England.
0:00:53 > 0:01:00Now many are ready to go anywhere just to get out.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Life after the Jungle.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Hugh Schofield reports from a reception centre for refugees
0:01:08 > 0:01:11from the camp near Paris.
0:01:11 > 0:01:12And welcome to Britain.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Daniel Sandford follows the hundreds of children who have arrived
0:01:14 > 0:01:17in the UK but finds reaction to their arrival mixed.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20It's not their doing, not their fault.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24I have got a little chap of my own.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Ultimately you want any child to be safe.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Send them back where they come from.
0:01:28 > 0:01:29Why is it our problem?
0:01:29 > 0:01:35We cannot look after our own.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38It has become a potent symbol of Europe's migration crisis.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40This week a major operation began to clear this massive migrant camp
0:01:40 > 0:01:44here in Calais known as the Jungle.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Many of its 7,000 or so inhabitants began queueing for buses before
0:01:47 > 0:01:51dawn to be resettled in centres across the country.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54They face either deportation or the opportunity to apply for asylum.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Calais's position as a gateway to Britain has given it
0:01:57 > 0:01:59an irresistible magnetism for many seeking a new life.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Lucy Williamson was here in Calais as the exodus began.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08They crossed continents to get here.
0:02:08 > 0:02:16Thousands queued to leave.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Hours standing in the cold, a better bet than one more day
0:02:18 > 0:02:19in the Jungle camp.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23The reward, a seat on one of 60 buses.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26But a ticket out of Calais does not guarantee asylum, either
0:02:26 > 0:02:31in France or in the UK.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Even those, like this man, who are impatient to leave,
0:02:33 > 0:02:35reserve the right to come back.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37I will go with the people, and maybe I will come
0:02:37 > 0:02:42back and try again.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46I like France but it is not my dream.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Next to him, this man says he is finished with his dreams
0:02:49 > 0:02:51of England and wants to settle in France.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54I hate England now, he said.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57They do not like people from the Jungle and they closed
0:02:57 > 0:03:02the border.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04People have been queueing here since 4:00am to board one
0:03:04 > 0:03:09of the buses bound for reception centres across France.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Their motivation for coming here to Calais was once
0:03:12 > 0:03:15all about the final destination, their dreams of England.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20Now many are ready to go anywhere just to get out.
0:03:20 > 0:03:25Inside the processing centre, people are split into queues.
0:03:25 > 0:03:31The vulnerable, families, lone children, and everyone else.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Their names, ages and origins noted, but not checked.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36They are 14.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39They should be there.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41They are given a choice of destination.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42French names in unfamiliar places.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46A new temporary address.
0:03:46 > 0:03:52Hours later, migrants began arriving at towns across France, watched,
0:03:52 > 0:03:55warily, by their new neighbours, here in the village of Chardonnay.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57"What are all these young men going to do
0:03:57 > 0:03:58in a place like this?"
0:03:58 > 0:04:00one said.
0:04:00 > 0:04:05There is not even a shop here.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08President Hollande said he wanted to send the message that Calais
0:04:08 > 0:04:13was not a staging post for migrants, but a dead end.
0:04:13 > 0:04:18Many here say that much is already clear.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21The UK has become harder to reach, and there was optimism among some
0:04:21 > 0:04:27of those who have decided to leave.
0:04:27 > 0:04:35But a local MP told us that did not mean Britain's role here was over.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37TRANSLATION: It is an international scandal that there are
0:04:37 > 0:04:39several hundred children, some as young as ten,
0:04:39 > 0:04:41stuck here, despite having family in the UK.
0:04:41 > 0:04:42Britain is not meeting its obligations.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Among those joining the queues were four
0:04:44 > 0:04:45siblings from Afghanistan, clinging to an
0:04:45 > 0:04:54English-speaking friend.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Their mother had asked him to take her children and make their case
0:04:57 > 0:04:58for asylum in England.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Four small lives among the thousands saying goodbye to Calais,
0:05:00 > 0:05:02unsure of what the future has in store.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03Lucy Williamson, BBC News, Calais.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11The next stop for most people who have left the Jungle will be one
0:05:11 > 0:05:15of the many reception centres for refugees across France.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18The town of Villeblevin is one of those that is taking migrants
0:05:18 > 0:05:21from the Calais camp, where they have been housed
0:05:21 > 0:05:22in an old convent.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26From there, Hugh Schofield sent this report.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30In the grounds of a former convent in rural France, Afghans
0:05:30 > 0:05:39are teaching Sudanese to play the English game of cricket.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Three days after they arrived from Calais, the 45 migrants
0:05:42 > 0:05:44are slowly acclimatising to the gentler, safer world
0:05:44 > 0:05:46of northern Burgundy.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48There are sports - before, this was a holiday camp
0:05:48 > 0:05:50for Paris schoolchildren - television, and regular hot meals,
0:05:50 > 0:06:00laid on by the Red Cross and French social services.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Talking to the people here, you get the sensation
0:06:04 > 0:06:05they are pretty shell-shocked.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07They have no idea where they are in France,
0:06:07 > 0:06:10but one thing is clear, they do want to stay in France.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12They have given up on the idea of ever getting to England.
0:06:13 > 0:06:13I love you France.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15I love you, France.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19I love you.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Once, they saw France as just a stepping stone
0:06:21 > 0:06:22on their route to the UK.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23No more.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Now it is the country that is offering them the refuge
0:06:26 > 0:06:27that was turned down by London.
0:06:27 > 0:06:32I like France.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34The government in France is very good.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36But the government in England is no good.
0:06:36 > 0:06:43They close the door to all refugees.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47For now, the migrants are staying inside the convent grounds.
0:06:47 > 0:06:52They are worried about local reaction.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Not unreasonably, because the people of the village of Villeblevin
0:06:55 > 0:06:57were highly suspicious when told of their uninvited guest.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00The deputy mayor told me that the decision to house
0:07:00 > 0:07:03the migrants here had been taken by Paris without any attempt
0:07:03 > 0:07:06to consult with the people who live here.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09It was fine for the migrants to walk around the village, he said,
0:07:09 > 0:07:12but only as long as they left the people here alone.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15The people were afraid.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17What of the children walking home from school in the dark
0:07:17 > 0:07:20and bumping into the migrants?
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Maybe they are very good people but we do not know anything
0:07:23 > 0:07:29about them and it is wrong to take this kind of risk.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32The fears are exaggerated.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Centres like this may only be open for a few months,
0:07:35 > 0:07:38the time needed to process applications for asylum in France,
0:07:38 > 0:07:42after which the migrants will be moved on.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45In the meantime, it is more of the boredom that they have grown
0:07:45 > 0:07:46so accustomed to.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Now a safer, perhaps even a happier kind of boredom.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Hugh Schofield, BBC News.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Hundreds of children from the Calais camp have now arrived in Britain.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02They include dozens of girls said to be at risk of sexual
0:08:02 > 0:08:05exploitation, resettled under an agreement to help
0:08:05 > 0:08:08particularly vulnerable children who have no links to the UK.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Daniel Sandford reports.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Journey's end for one recent resident of the Calais Jungle,
0:08:15 > 0:08:22a pizza takeaway in South London.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Haris, who says he is 16, fled the fighting in Afghanistan
0:08:25 > 0:08:27and travelled over land and sea for over a year.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Last Monday, he was brought to Britain to join his uncle,
0:08:30 > 0:08:33who owns the restaurant.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36He told me he was trying to forget everything that had happened to him.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39All the difficulties and problems should go away soon,
0:08:39 > 0:08:41now I am starting a new life, he said.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Although some new arrivals will go into care or foster homes,
0:08:44 > 0:08:49Haris will stay with his relatives.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53I am not here just to be an uncle to him.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56I am here to be his mum, his dad, his brother,
0:08:56 > 0:08:59his sister, his friend.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02I will support him emotionally, that is what he needs.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07Secretary Amber Rudd.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09The Home Secretary updated the Commons on what Britain had done
0:09:09 > 0:09:12in the last fortnight in the buildup to the closure of the Jungle.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14We have transferred almost 200 children.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18This includes more than 60 girls, many of whom had been identified
0:09:18 > 0:09:20as being at high risk of sexual exploitation.
0:09:20 > 0:09:25They are receiving the care and support they need in the UK.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29She said hundreds more children from the Jungle had been
0:09:29 > 0:09:33interviewed, and more would come to the UK in the coming weeks.
0:09:33 > 0:09:38These were some of the arrivals from Calais last week.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41The Home Office pays local authorities up to ?40,000 per child,
0:09:41 > 0:09:45but councils say the true cost is sometimes much more.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Here at a discreet location in Devon, 20 of the recently
0:09:48 > 0:09:58arrived boys are staying at a respite centre.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Decisions are being made about whether they should go
0:10:01 > 0:10:02into care or join family members.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03The local reaction, mixed.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05It is not their doing, not their fault.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08I have a little chap of my own and ultimately you want
0:10:08 > 0:10:09any child to be safe.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12If we have got the ability to do that, then why not?
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Send them back where they come from, why is it our problem?
0:10:15 > 0:10:18We cannot look after our own so why look after everybody else?
0:10:18 > 0:10:20It is disgusting.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24Back in London, Haris, who is desperate to return
0:10:24 > 0:10:27to education after his time in the Jungle, has his first meeting
0:10:27 > 0:10:29with immigration officials tomorrow, as he starts the formal
0:10:29 > 0:10:31process of claiming refugee status in Britain.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Daniel Sandford, BBC News, South London.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41That is all from this special edition of Reporters for this week.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43From me, Simon Jones, here at the now empty jungle camp
0:10:43 > 0:10:47in Calais, goodbye for now.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06Good
0:11:06 > 0:11:06Good evening.
0:11:06 > 0:11:06Good evening. It
