The first buses left at 08:30 local time

French authorities have begun moving 1,500 migrant children

from the Calais "Jungle" camp, a week after demolition began.
Two buses carrying the first minors left the area at 08:30 local time
(07:30 GMT).
The unaccompanied children will be taken to reception centres
around the country.
They had been living in converted shipping containers hoping to
travel to the UK.
But the French authorities have now given them documents saying
no further applications for transfer to the UK will be handled in
Calais.
Their cases could now be investigated individually by UK officials
once they have been transferred to reception centres in France,
French President Francois Hollande told La Voix du Nord
newspaper on Tuesday.

France and the UK have argued over where the migrant children
should go, with France urging the UK to take in more.
The UK has so far taken in about 270 of the children who have
relatives in the UK or are deemed particularly vulnerable.
The others will be looked after in France, Mr Hollande said.
The first bus to leave Calais was headed to Carcassone in south-

western France, the second to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer near

Montpellier in southern France, La Voix du Nord reported.

No-one will be allowed back into the dismantled camp, a staging

post for irregular migrants fleeing war and poverty and trying to cross
the Channel to the UK, Mr Hollande said.
The final shelters in Calais were destroyed on Monday after an
operation to move some 7,000 people to centres elsewhere in
France.
On Tuesday night riot police were called to the camp when fighting
broke out between Eritrean Christian and Afghan Muslim teenagers.
Police said about 100 youths were involved. Dozens of Eritreans
reportedly took sanctuary in a makeshift church.
