The Calais 'Jungle' now has some 10,000 refugees/immigrants
Hundreds of refugees carrying their possessions are queuing outside a hangar with armed police fanning out around the shanty-town. Officials are planning to dismantle the controversial camp after relocating some 10-thousand occupants from there. Most refugees in the camp want to get into Britain, but Paris wants to send them to other centers across the country.

Last month, President François Hollande vowed to tear down the camp, populated with people fleeing conflict zones of Africa and the Middle East. The idea of relocation has angered many refugees who want to travel to Britain. The French government's preference is to let them go where they want to go - the UK - but the British government won't let them in.
