'Masked gang' of 7 men arrested near Calais for attacking Iraqi refugees with iron bars:
Seven masked men mostly from Calais have been arrested by French police on suspicion of attacking Iraqi Kurds with iron bars in a nearby refugee camp. The victims were reportedly waiting by the road to board trucks traveling to the UK. Ref. Source 4u.
The demolition of the "Jungle" migrant camp in France has begun.
A team of workers began pulling down tents, shacks and other makeshift shelters that thousands have called home over the past two years.
More than 3,100 migrants have been bussed out of the camp in the port town of Calais since authorities began a sweep on Monday, sending them to regions around the country to begin a months-long process for resettlement.
The Jungle has become a gritty symbol of Europe's migrant crisis and has been a thorn in the French government's side. But to a tight-knit community there, it is also a symbol of determination and resilience. Ref. CNN.
