Calais migrant crisis: Fall in Eurotunnel breaches

New security measures have reduced the number of migrants trying to access the Eurotunnel terminal near Calais, the operator has said.

It says that additional fencing, paid for by the UK, has helped cut the attempted breaches to about 150 a night, down from a high of 2,000 a night at the end of July.

However, it said the number of attempted break-ins is still "unacceptable".
