Truckers Protest Against Calais Migrant Camp

Traffic stops in Calais as lorry and tractor drivers hold protest against 'The Jungle.'

Traffic has been brought to a standstill in and around the northern French town of Calais, where protesters are demanding the closure of the migrant camp known as The Jungle. We hear from the BBC's Simon Jones in Calais, and Lucy Grey on an MSF search and rescue ship in the Mediterranean.

Also: pro-democracy candidates are celebrating victory in elections to the Hong Kong legislature which gives them enough seats to retain veto power on the Council; a Yazidi girl tells our correspondent she was forced to make bombs for so-called Islamic State; Brexit is discussed at the G20 summit in China; and the #NoSizeFitsAll campaign during London Fashion Week.
