French police to raze illegal camp housing 1,000 migrants
French riot police are preparing to raze an illegal camp in Calais holding up to 1,000 African and Middle Eastern migrants.
The court had set a deadline last week for the migrants to clear out of the camp by Monday (Aug 4).
The migrants are mostly young men in their 20s hoping to make their way across the Channel to England to start a new life.
Here are some photos of the camp.
