:01:59. > :02:03.numbers, the mayor has told a French newspaper she will ask the hnterior
:02:04. > :02:08.Minister to hold a new shelter to appease residents. That is not a
:02:09. > :02:15.popular move in Dover. I don't think a new Sangatte is the answer. It

:02:52. > :03:01.opened in 1999 to house reftgees who were sleeping rough. Numbers peaked
:03:02. > :03:06.at about 2000. Concerns it was being used as a base for illegal
:03:07. > :03:11.immigration led to its clostre. Campaigners say a new sheltdr is not
:03:12. > :03:16.the solution. Giving shelter to people in Calais will do solething
:03:17. > :03:21.but it is not the whole story. We also need to get at the traffickers
:03:22. > :03:27.who are extorting large sums of money to get people to Calahs and
:03:28. > :03:31.indeed beyond and putting their lives at risk. Now the Freight

:04:05. > :04:07.in Dover now. Simon, you've been speaking to
:04:08. > :04:19.the Mayor's office about thd plans. The idea is already causing concern
