    Wave of 'Arab spring' refugees heading for Britain
    Refugees fleeing conflict in Libya are gathering in Calais in an attempt to enter Britain.

    Immigrant workers from Sudan and Chad, who fled the troubles in Libya, currently in Calais trying to get to the UK
    In a filthy squat two miles from the entrance to the Channel Tunnel, Mohammed Yosif and his friends are hoping for a new life in Britain.

    The 21-year-old is one of at least 40,000 to have fled to Europe as a result of the Arab Spring that has seen political unrest sweep north Africa.

    Many are migrant workers from sub-Saharan Africa who now believe their lives are at risk, especially in Libya where the regime used black mercenaries to attack rebel forces.

    A growing number have now arrived in France and are sleeping rough near ports in a bid to sneak into the UK or at the Gare du Nord Eurostar station in Paris.

    "It is very difficult to get on the train, but I dream of England," said Mohammed, who arrived in Calais on Tuesday after fleeing the war in Libya, where he was a migrant worker from Chad.
