Calais migrants try to storm Channel Tunnel

Migrants entered restricted areas on the French side overnight, delaying and cancelling services, Eurotunnel said.
A spokesman for the firm called for "immediate action" from authorities to protect the tunnel and provide a solution to the migrant crisis.
Passenger services are back to normal but there are still delays to freight journeys, Eurotunnel said.
Freight lorries are queuing on the M20 for the second time this week.
Kent Police initiated phase two of Operation Stack - where freight traffic is queued on sections of the M20 - and closed roads at about 01:00 BST.
'Immediate action'
A spokesman for Eurotunnel said there had been "huge numbers of migrants" in and around the area on Friday night.
They said: "Up to 150 migrants stormed the tunnel, which caused disruption to services leading to delays and cancellations for customers.
Dan Cook, operations director at Europa Worldwide, a transport and logistics business, said "marauding mobs" of migrants were breaking into the company's vehicles."Eurotunnel wants immediate action from authorities to protect the tunnel - not enough is being done to stop the migrants."
Mr Cook said: "This isn't in lay-bys off the beaten track at night, this is in broad daylight on the motorways approaching Calais and what you see, to be blunt, is marauding mobs around trailers... climbing on board, breaking open backdoors with broadly no sign of any sort of policing to prevent it.
