NEWS - Calais: Verlassenes 'Jungle Camp'
Empty, barren and bleak: this wasteland is all that remains of the Jungle migrant camp in Calais. Bulldozers have flattened the vast shanty town, which was home to thousands of people hoping to reach the UK before a mass evacuation began three weeks ago today. Once a bustling sprawl of makeshift shops, huts, tents, community centres, places of worship and a theatre, the land is now eerily empty. A road surrounding it, once the scene of daily clashes between police firing tear gas and rock-throwing migrants, is now guarded by a single police van. The main track through the camp is a mudflat strewn with saucepans, food tins, beer cans, plastic bottles, clothes and shoes. It used to be lined with restaurants and shops, and groups of migrants gathered around camp fires. School shoes and school books belonging to Feisel Husein on the road outside the Jungle camp in Calais.

Iron resolve: steel town unites to fight for its furnaces
As Scunthorpe faces 2,000 job losses in a move to greener tech, MPs and unions fear for workers and a strategic UK industry.
British Steel's plans to axe more than 2,000 jobs in Scunthorpe, out of a workforce of about 3,800, in a shift to greener technology.
The steel industry must decarbonise if the UK is to hit its target of net zero additions of carbon to the atmosphere by 2050. Scunthorpe's sister plant, the Port Talbot steelworks in south Wales, is the UK's biggest single emitter, producing 5.7m tonnes of carbon last year, while the north Lincolnshire site is the third biggest, producing 4m tonnes, or about 1% of the UK's annual total, according to government data.
Last week, Chinese-owned British Steel announced it planned to close Scunthorpe's blast furnaces in favour of electric arc furnaces, which it hopes to build by late 2025.
Tata Steel, Port Talbot's Indian owner, is considering a similar plan to close its two furnaces as soon as March, with 3,000 job losses.
The British Steel plant in Scunthorpe.
British Steel have announced that their Coal powered Furnaces will be closed and replaced by Electirc Arch Furnaces by 2015 in order to transition to a greener production of steel. Electric Arch furnaces will require fewer workers and at present cannot produce high grade steel. Scunthorpe

Iron resolve: steel town unites to fight for its furnaces
As Scunthorpe faces 2,000 job losses in a move to greener tech, MPs and unions fear for workers and a strategic UK industry.
British Steel's plans to axe more than 2,000 jobs in Scunthorpe, out of a workforce of about 3,800, in a shift to greener technology.
The steel industry must decarbonise if the UK is to hit its target of net zero additions of carbon to the atmosphere by 2050. Scunthorpe's sister plant, the Port Talbot steelworks in south Wales, is the UK's biggest single emitter, producing 5.7m tonnes of carbon last year, while the north Lincolnshire site is the third biggest, producing 4m tonnes, or about 1% of the UK's annual total, according to government data.
Last week, Chinese-owned British Steel announced it planned to close Scunthorpe's blast furnaces in favour of electric arc furnaces, which it hopes to build by late 2025.
Tata Steel, Port Talbot's Indian owner, is considering a similar plan to close its two furnaces as soon as March, with 3,000 job losses.
