:00:00. > :00:00.Hello, welcome to BBC World News Today.

:00:00. > :00:08.Thousands of people leave the notorious "Jungle"

:00:09. > :00:13.They're being transferred to reception centres

:00:14. > :00:15.across the country, amid preparations to bulldoze

:00:16. > :00:22.what's become a symbol of Europe's struggle to cope with the crisis.

:00:23. > :00:24.Belgium's Prime Minister says he still cannot sign off a massive

:00:25. > :00:26.trade deal between the EU and Canada, because

:00:27. > :00:33.As the leaders of Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales come

:00:34. > :00:36.to London to discuss Brexit, the Scottish leader says there is

:00:37. > :00:46.It is a legend of 1960s rock culture.

:00:47. > :00:48.Now, 50 years on, the Velvet Underground album

:00:49. > :01:08.About 2000 people have left the migrant camp in Calais

:01:09. > :01:11.known as the Jungle, on the first day of an operation

:01:12. > :01:16.People began queueing before dawn, waiting to be transferred to one

:01:17. > :01:20.of the 451 centres across France, where they face either

:01:21. > :01:24.deportation, or the opportunity to claim asylum.

:01:25. > :01:27.The site sprang up several years ago as migrants came to Calais,

:01:28. > :01:30.hoping to cross the Channel into the UK.

:01:31. > :01:34.The Jungle lies just to the east of the main road to the port.

:01:35. > :01:36.High fences have been built to separate it

:01:37. > :01:40.This is the scene currently in Calais.

:01:41. > :01:42.All day long, authorities have been processing migrants

:01:43. > :01:55.Let's cross live now to Sophie Long in Calais.

:01:56. > :02:03.Good evening from Calais. The last bus of the day carrying migrants

:02:04. > :02:06.away from the camp now known as the Jungle to new locations across

:02:07. > :02:11.France has just left. We are told by the authorities here that 46 buses

:02:12. > :02:19.have left throughout the day carrying just under 2000 migrants to

:02:20. > :02:22.new locations. It has gone very well, the French authorities say,

:02:23. > :02:26.for the first day of this operation. Suddenly, hundreds of migrants were

:02:27. > :02:30.queueing here from the early hours, as early as five o'clock this

:02:31. > :02:33.morning. By mid-morning, that you became a crowd and some migrants

:02:34. > :02:38.were told to return to the Jungle because they would not be leaving

:02:39. > :02:43.today. It has been a day of mixed and high emotions. For some migrants

:02:44. > :02:46.who want to leave, this marked the end of a nightmare and an end to

:02:47. > :02:50.months of living in cold and squalid conditions. For others, those who

:02:51. > :02:54.maintain some hope of a better life in Britain, this marks the end of

:02:55. > :02:58.their dreams, as they travelled further from Calais, they travel

:02:59. > :03:01.further from those dreams coming true. This report comes from Lucy

:03:02. > :03:01.Williamson. a better bet than one more

:03:02. > :03:12.day in the Jungle camp. The reward -

:03:13. > :03:16.a seat on one of 60 buses. But a ticket out of Calais

:03:17. > :03:19.doesn't guarantee asylum, And even those, like Madi,

:03:20. > :03:26.who are impatient to leave, and maybe I come back

:03:27. > :03:36.and I will try again, yeah. I like France,

:03:37. > :03:39.but it's not my dream. Next to him, Abdou says he's

:03:40. > :03:42.finished with his dreams of England "I hate England now,"

:03:43. > :03:49.he says, "I don't like people from the Jungle,

:03:50. > :03:56.and they closed the border." People have been queueing

:03:57. > :04:00.here since 4am to board one of the buses bound

:04:01. > :04:03.for reception centres across France. Their motivation for coming

:04:04. > :04:05.here to Calais was once all about the final destination,

:04:06. > :04:09.their dreams of England. Now many are ready to go

:04:10. > :04:14.anywhere just to get out. Inside the processing centre,

:04:15. > :04:19.people are split into queues - the vulnerable, families, lone

:04:20. > :04:22.children, and everyone else. Their names, ages and origins

:04:23. > :04:27.noted but not checked. They are given a choice

:04:28. > :04:34.of destination - French names in unfamiliar places,

:04:35. > :04:39.a new temporary address. President Hollande said he wanted

:04:40. > :04:41.to send a message that Calais was not a staging

:04:42. > :04:44.post for migrants but a dead-end. Many here say that

:04:45. > :04:49.much is already clear. and there was optimism today among

:04:50. > :04:54.some of those who decided to leave. But the local MP told us that didn't

:04:55. > :05:03.mean Britain's role here was over. TRANSLATION: It's an international

:05:04. > :05:05.scandal that there are several hundred children,

:05:06. > :05:07.some as young as ten, stuck here, Britain is not meeting

:05:08. > :05:16.its obligations. Among those joining the queues

:05:17. > :05:18.today were four siblings from Afghanistan, clinging

:05:19. > :05:20.to an English-speaking friend. Their mother had asked him

:05:21. > :05:24.to take her children and make their case

:05:25. > :05:28.for asylum in England. Four small lives among the thousands

:05:29. > :05:33.saying goodbye to Calais, unsure of what the future

:05:34. > :05:51.has in store. One of the great concerns amongst

:05:52. > :05:56.people here in Calais is that the children living in the Jungle, an

:05:57. > :05:59.estimated 1000 1200 unaccompanied children. The Home Secretary told

:06:00. > :06:04.MPs today that some 200 children have now been taken from Calais to

:06:05. > :06:09.the UK, including some 60 girls who are thought to be at risk of sexual

:06:10. > :06:11.exploitation. Some of them have been taken to a town in North Devon. From

:06:12. > :06:13.there, Jon Kay reports. It is a world away

:06:14. > :06:15.from the Calais Jungle. In the early hours of this morning,

:06:16. > :06:18.20 young migrants arrived at a respite centre

:06:19. > :06:20.here in North Devon. The exact location isn't

:06:21. > :06:23.being revealed, but the youngsters, all of them boys,

:06:24. > :06:25.are now having medical checks before decisions

:06:26. > :06:28.are taken about where they go next. In the ancient market town

:06:29. > :06:31.of Great Torrington, some feel proud that

:06:32. > :06:34.their community is hosting children It's not their doing,

:06:35. > :06:40.it's not their fault, and I mean, I've got a little chap of my own,

:06:41. > :06:44.and ultimately you just want any child to be safe,

:06:45. > :06:46.and if we've got the ability We're a local, small,

:06:47. > :06:50.close-knit community, But this man told me

:06:51. > :06:59.many locals are angry that the child migrants have been brought

:07:00. > :07:01.here without public consultation. Send them back where they come from,

:07:02. > :07:04.why is it our problem? Can't look after our own,

:07:05. > :07:07.so why look after everybody else? Apparently they won't be

:07:08. > :07:12.here for very long, Wednesday, I was told, but that

:07:13. > :07:17.is two days too long, isn't it? 200 child migrants have come to

:07:18. > :07:22.the UK from Calais in the last week. Initially, they are processed

:07:23. > :07:24.at a complex in Croydon before being sent to residential centres

:07:25. > :07:27.like the one in Devon. It's the Home Office

:07:28. > :07:29.rather than local councils Tonight the Government said

:07:30. > :07:35.the youngsters included 60 girls When children arrive in the UK,

:07:36. > :07:43.the first question is to establish whether they have family members

:07:44. > :07:45.that they could go and stay with Younger children will to go pretty

:07:46. > :07:50.quickly into the care of a foster family, because we always

:07:51. > :07:53.try to make sure they are Older children who may be school

:07:54. > :07:57.leavers may have been living independently in the country before

:07:58. > :07:59.they came to Britain, more likely to go into independent

:08:00. > :08:02.accommodation, a bit like university It's up most of the children who've

:08:03. > :08:06.arrived here in the south-west of England today may only be

:08:07. > :08:12.here for a couple of days. Either they'll be reunited

:08:13. > :08:15.with their families elsewhere in the UK or put into care

:08:16. > :08:19.as part of a national scheme. It has been seven years

:08:20. > :08:26.in the making, but it has taken just one region of one of the EU's 28

:08:27. > :08:30.member states to slam the brakes on. Ceta, or the Comprehensive

:08:31. > :08:32.Economic Trade Agreement, is a free trade deal

:08:33. > :08:34.between the EU and Canada, and is the most ambitious to date,

:08:35. > :08:37.but now might not be signed The Belgian Prime Minister said

:08:38. > :08:42.the deal cannot go ahead after he held talks

:08:43. > :08:44.with regional leaders today. Ceta aims to eliminate 98% of

:08:45. > :08:47.tariffs between the EU and Canada. But for the deal to go ahead,

:08:48. > :08:49.the agreement from all For Belgium, that means all three

:08:50. > :08:57.regions have to agree, French-speaking Wallonia has

:08:58. > :09:03.blocked the deal. The Socialist region wants more

:09:04. > :09:06.guarantees to protect its farmers and stronger safeguards on things

:09:07. > :09:19.like environmental standards. TRANSLATION: It is completely

:09:20. > :09:24.undemocratic. There are no other words. It is a treaty that has been

:09:25. > :09:29.negotiated secretly for years now, and now when a government requests

:09:30. > :09:32.to speak about some points that seem impossible to agree on, they place

:09:33. > :09:36.ultimatums and threats. It is just not democratic. We have the

:09:37. > :09:42.impression, the feeling, that there is a neoliberal steam roller that

:09:43. > :09:45.once nobody to get in his way. To me it is perfectly clear, it is a

:09:46. > :09:49.reason to be proud. Wallonia shows another part from the one that is

:09:50. > :09:53.usually taken, especially by the European Commission. Wallonia says

:09:54. > :09:54.the powers need to be that wants to, not all powers should be in trade.

:09:55. > :09:56.For me this is a reason to be proud. Donald Tusk is the president

:09:57. > :09:59.of the European Council - that's the part of the EU

:10:00. > :10:19.which represents the heads Our correspondent Damian dramatic as

:10:20. > :10:24.is in Brussels. Hopes still to meet on Thursday, what are chances of

:10:25. > :10:28.this deal getting signed? Well, very slim at this stage. The clock is

:10:29. > :10:35.ticking, because we were expecting it to be this evening as the final

:10:36. > :10:39.hour, we were told, that Justin Trudeau, the Prime Minister of

:10:40. > :10:44.Canada, could make a decision to go ahead with the summit view here on

:10:45. > :10:48.Thursday. It appears that it is a bit elastic, there is a bit more

:10:49. > :10:52.time, but at some point he has to take the decision whether to get on

:10:53. > :10:57.the plane, fly across the Atlantic and come here hoping to sign that

:10:58. > :11:02.deal or not. I think that must be in the next 24 hours, possibly just 36

:11:03. > :11:06.hours, and if he is not able to come, because of these objections

:11:07. > :11:10.from Wallonia, from this one part of Belgium, it will be pretty

:11:11. > :11:15.embarrassing for the EU particularly that it has not been able to finish

:11:16. > :11:17.off this deal. This is a deal between the European Union and

:11:18. > :11:22.Canada in this instance, but what does it tell us about what a future

:11:23. > :11:27.Brexit deal between the EU and the UK might look like? I think what it

:11:28. > :11:32.tells us is that it could be very difficult to agree. This deal has to

:11:33. > :11:35.be passed by every country in Europe and in the case of some of them,

:11:36. > :11:41.like Belgium, regional parliaments as well. This trade deal with Canada

:11:42. > :11:46.is being billed as the most significant one that Europe has ever

:11:47. > :11:50.done, but the Brexit deal, everyone is expecting, could be far more

:11:51. > :11:56.complicated than this. So, you can well imagine that once the Brexit

:11:57. > :11:59.deal has to pass a hurdle which is every country and regional

:12:00. > :12:02.Parliament as well, if it is passed in the same way, there are options

:12:03. > :12:06.to do things slightly differently, but it could well face the same sort

:12:07. > :12:11.of process. You can imagine many, many difficulties to come. For the

:12:12. > :12:17.UK to secure a deal with Europe. That could make for some difficult

:12:18. > :12:22.times. The other crucial thing to say is that it could have an effect,

:12:23. > :12:27.even before any deal comes here, because investors looking at the UK,

:12:28. > :12:32.wondering whether to put money into the UK and thinking, will there be a

:12:33. > :12:36.deal agreed in the coming years? They may look at the something, this

:12:37. > :12:40.makes them nervous, because you get may not secure a deal for some time

:12:41. > :12:44.with the EU on the basis of this. We will see how this pans out.

:12:45. > :12:46.Let's bring you up to date on the ongoing battle for Mosul.

:12:47. > :12:49.Iraqi special forces say they've gained ground in fighting

:12:50. > :12:51.with Islamic State militants east of the city, after shelling

:12:52. > :12:56.Peshmerga troops say they have cut off the town of Bashiqa

:12:57. > :12:59.and they continue to push IS fighters back from around

:13:00. > :13:04.But in an apparent attempt to divert attention and resources

:13:05. > :13:13.IS fighters on Sunday launched an attack on Rutba in

:13:14. > :13:19.Two days ago, IS fighters did something similar when they tried

:13:20. > :13:25.to take the city of Kirkuk, just south of Mosul.

:13:26. > :13:28.And if you want more on the fight for Mosul -

:13:29. > :13:31.All the latest developments there, including why other regional powers

:13:32. > :13:35.like Iran, Turkey and Saudi Arabia are so interested in the conflict.

:13:36. > :13:42.Scotland's First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, has said

:13:43. > :13:44.she doesn't think the British Government has a negotiating

:13:45. > :13:46.position yet for exiting the European Union.

:13:47. > :13:49.She was speaking after what she described as "very frank"

:13:50. > :13:51.talks with the British Prime Minister Theresa May, which also

:13:52. > :13:53.brought together the leaders of Northern Ireland and Wales.

:13:54. > :13:57.Mrs May said she would strike a deal that works for the whole of the UK.

:13:58. > :14:04.The United Kingdom voted as a whole to leave the EU,

:14:05. > :14:06.but Brexit is seen very differently

:14:07. > :14:09.in each of the four nations of the UK.

:14:10. > :14:16.Northern Ireland also voted to stay in,

:14:17. > :14:17.whilst Welsh, like English, voters chose to leave.

:14:18. > :14:19.But the leaders of the devolved nations

:14:20. > :14:23.all want the Prime Minister to listen to their concerns.

:14:24. > :14:26.They're sceptical about a new committee which will include

:14:27. > :14:29.them and the Brexit Secretary, David Davis.

:14:30. > :14:34.when the real decisions are being taken.

:14:35. > :14:36.Nicola Sturgeon wants full membership of the EU single market

:14:37. > :14:38.for Scotland and new powers for the Scottish Parliament,

:14:39. > :14:40.threatening to call a second referendum on independence

:14:41. > :14:46.The Prime Minister thinks you're bluffing about

:14:47. > :14:49.a second independence referendum, that you wouldn't dare do it,

:14:50. > :14:52.and therefore she doesn't have to listen to you on this.

:14:53. > :14:54.Well, there is nothing about what I'm doing just now

:14:55. > :14:58.This is not a game, this is not a game of chicken,

:14:59. > :15:04.that I will do whatever it takes to protect Scotland's interest.

:15:05. > :15:06.Nicola Sturgeon says she found today's meeting deeply frustrating.

:15:07. > :15:08.She came here with a clear set of demands

:15:09. > :15:10.to keep Scotland in the European single market -

:15:11. > :15:15.she's not convinced the Prime Minister was listening.

:15:16. > :15:17.Northern Ireland's First and Deputy First Ministers

:15:18. > :15:19.may not agree with each other over Brexit

:15:20. > :15:22.but share the demand to be part of the negotiations.

:15:23. > :15:27.is that we're involved very much at the heart of that process

:15:28. > :15:29.so that when issues arise during the negotiation,

:15:30. > :15:34.that we can be part of answering the issues that come to the fore.

:15:35. > :15:39.with a clear idea of what Brexit might look like.

:15:40. > :15:41.What we need more than anything else is greater certainty

:15:42. > :15:44.from the UK Government as to what exactly the principles

:15:45. > :15:47.of negotiation will be - we don't have that yet.

:15:48. > :15:49.From Downing Street to Parliament, the PM insists

:15:50. > :15:53.she will work for the best deal for the UK as a whole.

:15:54. > :15:56.There will be difficult moments ahead, and as I've said before,

:15:57. > :15:58.it will require patience and some give and take.

:15:59. > :16:00.But I firmly believe that if we approach this

:16:01. > :16:06.in a constructive spirit, we can ensure a smooth departure.

:16:07. > :16:12.to keeping the UK together and the EU together.

:16:13. > :16:15.But how she does that could strain what she calls our precious union.

:16:16. > :16:25.Now a look at some of the day's other news.

:16:26. > :16:26.Five French citizens have been killed

:16:27. > :16:30.The French Defence Minister said the victims were

:16:31. > :16:31.three ministry officials and two private contractors.

:16:32. > :16:33.They'd been taking part in an operation directed

:16:34. > :16:43.Spain's acting Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy, has welcomed

:16:44. > :16:45.A Christian-owned bakery in Belfast, Northern Ireland, has lost an appeal

:16:46. > :16:49.The court ruled that the bakery had discriminated against a customer

:16:50. > :16:52.by refusing to bake a cake with a message in support

:16:53. > :16:55.The family-run Ashers Bakery had argued that the decoration

:16:56. > :17:02.2016 is being seen as a landmark moment in the battle

:17:03. > :17:04.against climate change, but for all the wrong reasons.

:17:05. > :17:07.Scientists say this is likely to be the first full year in which levels

:17:08. > :17:09.of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide remain above

:17:10. > :17:17.That's bad because CO2 traps heat in the atmosphere,

:17:18. > :17:18.and it's 44% higher than pre-industrial levels.

:17:19. > :17:28.Not too hot, not too cold, just right, thanks to the invisible

:17:29. > :17:31.blanket of natural carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, keeping us warm.

:17:32. > :17:33.The normal level of carbon dioxide is 280 ppm,

:17:34. > :17:41.powering our cities with fossil fuels that give out

:17:42. > :17:50.We have bumped up CO2 levels to 400 ppm.

:17:51. > :17:57.As emissions keep rising, scientists warn

:17:58. > :18:02.400 ppm is a significant symbolic threshold, below which we don't

:18:03. > :18:06.expect to go for the rest of our lifetimes.

:18:07. > :18:08.It means we have increased the amount of carbon dioxide being

:18:09. > :18:13.Most of that increase has happended since 1950.

:18:14. > :18:16.If we want to stay below 2 degrees, we have already used

:18:17. > :18:22.That has happened since 1950, so we have a lot of work to do if

:18:23. > :18:28.Carbon dioxide is a plant food, so for a while, parts of the planet

:18:29. > :18:32.are getting greener, thanks to the extra fertilising carbon.

:18:33. > :18:35.But scientists warn that droughts are likely

:18:36. > :18:41.to wipe out the benefits of CO2 as the planet heats.

:18:42. > :18:45.Already, temperatures have reached record levels.

:18:46. > :18:47.Politicians meeting in Paris last year promised to curb carbon dioxide

:18:48. > :18:54.But even they admit their efforts are too slow and too small.

:18:55. > :19:04.They're traditionally meetings of high-stakes intrigue

:19:05. > :19:07.And this year it seems they'll be even more so.

:19:08. > :19:09.It's the annual get-together of the leaders of

:19:10. > :19:12.The meeting is expected to focus on revamping decades-old codes

:19:13. > :19:16.Our China editor, Carrie Gracie, has been along to an event

:19:17. > :19:18.called a "Dialogue with the Communist Party"

:19:19. > :19:20.ahead of the main meeting, to see if anyone would

:19:21. > :19:33.A kind of coming-out party to say, "We walk tall in the world."

:19:34. > :19:36.They say they want a frank, deep and constructive exchange

:19:37. > :19:43.Of course, China's Communist Party is not typically that open to ideas

:19:44. > :19:45.from the outside world, especially not
