Calm reigns at French channel port of Calais

Description

At the port of Calais, traffic remains unusually calm despite the reopening of France's borders to and from the United Kingdom, after a two-day stoppage. It will take several days to clear the thousands of lorries blocked on the English side at the port of Dover. They were delayed by France's decision to halt traffic from the UK over concerns about a new strain of coronavirus which is spreading in England. IMAGES
