Charities working with migrants in Calais gave a lukewarm reception to the announcement that France intends to bulldoze the sprawling Calais Jungle migrant camp "in stages". Accommodation for thousands of migrants will be created elsewhere in France in an attempt "to unblock Calais", Cazeneuve said. But charities have heard promises likes this before, but the situation in the jungle, now home to up to 10,000 migrants, has never improved. But many migrants head back north after growing unhappy and frustrated. Calais residents will stage a protest on Monday over the effect the presence of thousands of migrants has had on their livelihoods.
