Hundreds Protest Migrant Camp In France
Note: This BBC interview can be heard in the Here & Now podcast or with the WBUR app.
Protesters formed a human chain today in Calais, France, the port city that houses some 7,000 migrants who are trying to get to Britain. Truck drivers also joined the protest.
Many of the migrants try to jump on those trucks to get passage to the U.K. The mayor of Calais says the situation has become untenable. Here & Now's Robin Young speaks with the BBC's Steve Chittenden about the demonstration.
