- 9 years ago
More than 1,700 attempts to cross the Eurotunnel to Britain were stopped overnight on Sunday, according to French police.
It comes as the UK announces new measures to clampdown on migrants who make it across the Channel. Landlords who fail to evict migrants who do not have the right to live in Britain could face up to five years in jail.
In recent weeks up to nine migrants have died trying to breach security in Calais, and a new fence is due to be completed by Friday.
