More than 1,200 police and officials in France have begun an operation to clear the “Jungle” migrant camp in Calais. The camp has been housing some 7,000 people in squalid conditions. Migrants queued peacefully to be processed, and the first of some 60 coaches that will carry them to refugee centres across France, has now left. There is concern that some migrants will refuse to go because they still want to get to Britain, and there were some clashes over the weekend. The demolition of the camp is expected to take place on Tuesday. The UK has begun to accept…

Theo Walcott says Arsenal may be better placed for a Premier League title bid this season In-form forward Theo Walcott thinks Arsenal have to be considered Premier League title contenders in an open year. And Walcott thinks the gritty manner of Arsenal’s last two victories shows they have the mentality to stay in the hunt. The Gunners needed a late goal to win at Burnley before the international break and then held on to beat Swansea 3-2 on Saturday, having been reduced to 10 men when Granit Xhaka was sent off.

Officials from the Home Office are spending the coming week at the ‘jungle’ migrant camp in Calais attempting to identify unaccompanied minors who are eligible to come to the UK. After months of delay and confusion, the Home Secretary Amber Rudd announced last week that she wanted to see as many children as possible brought to the UK before the camp closes. The French authorities were due to begin the dismantling of the settlement this week but have now delayed the process, in part to allow for the UK to extract eligible minors. Under EU legislation, any asylum seeker who…

Britain is facing a prolonged period of weaker economic growth as the plunge in the value of the pound pushes up prices for consumers, an influential think-tank has warned. The EY ITEM Club said the economy had been more resilient than expected following the vote to leave the European Union but this picture was deceptive. It predicts inflation – which has been below 1% for nearly two years – climbing to 2.6% in 2017. The report – which uses the Treasury model of the UK economy – said that this, coupled with falling business investment, would result in much slower…

The battle to retake control of the Iraqi city of Mosul from Islamic State has begun. Convoys of Iraqi and Kurdish forces were moving east of the city into the early hours of Monday, as US-led coalition airstrikes sent plumes of smoke into the air amid the sound of heavy artillery rounds. Some 2,000 Iraqi special forces will be supported by four brigades of the regular Iraqi Army, 15,000 Sunni militia, 15,000 Kurdish Peshmerga and a few thousand Shia militia. They are taking the fight to an estimated 3,000 IS fighters in the city, with snipers sent in first to…

“Don’t let the challenges you face overwhelm you; choose instead to enjoy the life Jesus brought to you today!” Rev Chris Oyakhilome D.Sc., DD

And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand. And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand (Genesis 39:3-4) God has called and chosen you for a purpose, and that is to show forth through you His manifold wisdom and demonstrate His excellence to your world. It’s His purpose and desire to prove His extraordinary greatness in your life. He told Israel, “You’ll be…

Gareth Southgate insists he is not afraid to make tough selection decisions ahead of his second game in charge of England, away to Slovenia on Tuesday. Manchester United and England captain Wayne Rooney was booed by some sections of the Wembley crowd during the 2-0 win over Malta on Saturday after being deployed in midfield. Southgate must now decide whether to stick with 117-cap Rooney for the trip to Ljubljana as he faces his first key dilemma since taking over on a temporary basis in the wake of Sam Allardyce’s exit. Any such decisions pale into insignificance to Southgate though, when compared…

The number of underage car drivers involved in crashes on Britain’s roads has reached the highest level in four years, according to latest figures. Ninety-one boys and girls under 17 years old were behind the wheel during accidents last year, according to Press Association analysis of Department for Transport data. It represents a 30% spike compared with the previous year, and is the most since 103 were recorded in 2011. Separate analysis by motoring research charity the RAC Foundation found that over half (49) of the underage drivers involved in crashes last year were injured, including one who was killed and 11 seriously hurt. The accidents…
