Calais migrant crisis: Number of attempted breaches falls

Eurotunnel have said that the number of migrants trying to get into the terminal near Calais has fallen to around 150 per night, down from a high of 2,000.

Extra fencing, paid for by the UK, has been erected, aimed at making it harder for migrants to get onto the platforms and trains at the terminal.

However, French police have told the BBC the fences are a "short-term solution" and that migrants will simply move to places where security is weaker.
