More than 1,200 police in France have begun an operation to clear the migrant camp in Calais, where some 7,000 migrants live. Concern exists that some migrants will refuse to go because they still want to get to Britain, and there were some clashes during the weekend, but migrants queued calmly this morning to register and board busses that will take them to refugee centers across France. The demolition of the camp is expected to begin on Tuesday.
