Britain, not Mexico, is funding a big wall to stop migrants
Britain is paying for the construction of a wall in Calais, near the so-called Jungle migrant camp, in an attempt to stop refugees and migrants from boarding lorries heading for the UK, the country's immigration minister has confirmed.
The 4m (13ft) wall will run for 1km (0.6 miles) along both sides of the port's divided highway. Construction work is expected to start this month and finish by the end of the year.
