Scenes of chaos have broken out in Calais as French authorities demolish part of the Jungle

Scenes of chaos reigned at the Eurotunnel near the northern French port town as security forces used tear gas to disperse hundreds of refugees attempting to board UK-bound lorries. 

Plumes of smoke were seen near the notorious migrant camp after riot police battled with more than 300 migrants trying to jump into lorries heading for Britain.

Clashes between French authorities and migrants erupted last night and clashes became ever nastier today as the migrants realised they were being evicted from their makeshift homes in the Calais Jungle.
