BBC Europe – Calais ‘Jungle’: Overnight fires raze parts of migrant camp. Fires have razed parts of the “Jungle” migrant camp in Calais, as French authorities continue operations to demolish it. At least one gas canister exploded, with one migrant lightly injured. The clearance began on Monday and about 4,000 migrants – out of some 7,000 – have been taken from the squalid camp to shelters around France.
