CALAIS: Clandestine Immigrants - 4 years after Sangatte
The migrants take unheard of risks in attempting to board lorries bound for England. According to French and British authorities six to seven persons succeed in crossing into England illegally daily . If caught, lorry drivers are fined 3000 euros for each migrant they might transport. Four years after the closing of the Sangatte immigrant detention center on the French side of the English Channel, migrants continue to flock to Calais and take ever more risks in the hopes of making it to England, still perceived as an Eldorado. Just eight kilometers from Sangatte, the historic French town of Calais today looks like one big tansit zone.

Tibet China Qinghai Railway
A view of a rain storm from the Beijing bound train in Tibet on Wednesday, Aug. 16, 2006. The completion of the 1140km Qinghai-Tibet railway this summer (2006) at a cost of 4.2 billion USD has introduced mass tourism to Tibet. Up to 3000 Chinese tourists and migrant workers have been arriving in Lhasa, the Tibetan capital, each day. The relatively low cost ($50) for the 48 hour journey from Beijing has made Tibet accessible to the Chinese masses for the first time. Some commentators, including the Dalai Lama who called the new railway a form of "cultural genocide,? are concerned about the impact this will have on Tibet's delicate environment and cultural heritage.
