Video report by ITV News Security Editor Rohit Kachroo

Migrants who have been living in the Calais 'Jungle' camp are to be housed in containers there instead.

After a second day of clearing away makeshift tents, French authorities want to move 1,000 migrants into the containers, but most don't want to go.

The camp has been a temporary home to around 4,000 people, many of whom still hope to make it across the Channel.
