UK AND FRANCE MEET OVER CALAIS ROW

The British and French interior ministers are meeting in Paris amid calls for migrants in northern France to be able to lodge UK asylum claims there.

The president of the Calais region says there should be a 'hotspot' in France at which migrants can lodge claims - rather than having to try to get to Britain first.

The UK says the idea is a 'complete non starter'.

The row threatens the 2003 Le Touquet deal between France and Britain which allows the UK to carry out border checks in Calais, and France to do the same in Dover in southern England.

Political reporter Theo Usherwood says UK Home Secretary Amber Rudd is meeting French counterpart Bernard Cazeneuve.
