Britain's borders trampled underfoot: Calls to send in the army as hundreds of migrants storm fences around Calais Channel Tunnel entrance for THIRD night running - desperate to clamber on trains bound for Kent, whatever the cost 

Calais migrants storm fences around Channel Tunnel entrance for THIRD night running

Hundreds of migrants laid siege to the Channel Tunnel for the third night running last night, as they stormed fences (pictured) and desperately tried to clamber on trains bound for Kent. Senior MPs, backed by hauliers, said the British Army should be sent in to restore order because the French authorities had 'lost control' as the Calais illegal immigrant crisis escalated dramatically. It comes as one migrant - a Sudanese man in his 20s or early 30s - slipped as he tried to get underneath a train inside the high-security zone surrounding the undersea link in the early hours of yesterday morning when 1,500 attempted to get across. On Monday night, more than 2,000 illegal immigrants tried to break through the Tunnel entrance, prompting an urgent security review which saw more than 120 police officers drafted in to secure the terminals.

Experts 'confident' wreckage belongs to Malaysia Airlines flight MH370

Officials are examining debris found washed up on a beach on Reunion island east of Madagascar (illustrated on map) to determine if it is related to doomed Malaysia Airlines flight 370. The two-metre-long piece of wreckage, pictured, which appeared, to be part of a wing, was found by people cleaning up a beach. Xavier Tytelman, an expert in aviation security, said it could not be ruled out that the wreckage belonged to MH370, which vanished without trace in March last year.

BBC commentator Peter O'Sullevan dies at his home at the age of 97

Legendary horse racing commentator Sir Peter O'Sullevan (left) - the voice of racing for five decades - has died at his home in London aged 97. Known for his passion and flawless style, he covered a total of 14,000 races during his career and became a friend of the Queen Mother and the Queen. His Grand National commentaries included Red Rum's three historic victories (pictured winning the National in 1977, top inset) and the void race of 1993. Despite retiring as the BBC's racing commentator in 1997 after five decades covering Grand Nationals, Derbys and Gold Cups, he continued to be a familiar figure on the racing scene, owning and backing horses. He was married to his wife Lady Pat for 54 years (together right, receiving his knighthood in 1997), with the union only ending in 2010 when she succumbed to Alzheimer's disease, but O'Sullevan retained a huge circle of friends right up to the very end.

Randa Armstrong, 31 (left), and her civil partner Stephanie, 25 (together right), are expecting their babies just three months apart after conceiving through a 'shy' 24-year-old science student they found on a website.

The couple, who met through the internet in 2009, had originally wanted to have IVF but were told the faced a three-year wait on the NHS. So they turned to an online forum called Known Donor Registry where they found a single man who does not drink and smoke - and did not want a fee for his time. The couple, who live in Galashiels, invited the man - who lives 35 miles away in Edinburgh - to their house on three separate occasions. They then inseminated one another.

Museum that was supposed to celebrate the culture and history of East End women is branded a 'sick joke' after it opens as gallery devoted to Jack the Ripper 

Museum to celebrate East End women unveiled as Jack the Ripper gallery

The team behind the project had promised to create a 'world class' museum in Cable Street, East London, dedicated to suffragettes (bottom right) and equal pay campaigners. But to the shock of residents, the building was instead given a makeover as a museum charting 'the murders and mysterious works of one of London's most notorious characters, Jack the Ripper' (left). Some have been left outraged after it emerged that the museum would focus on the gruesome, unsolved murders of prostitutes in Whitechapel in the 1880s and 1890s rather than on the inspirational role of women in the area.

The Dead Sea is shrinking! Roads, caravans and power lines are swallowed up by giant sinkholes that are appearing as waters vanish from Israeli shores 

Roads and caravans are swallowed up by giant sinkholes appearing as Dead Sea shrinks

Hundreds of sinkholes, some the size of a basketball court and some two storeys deep, are wreaking havoc by devouring land where the Israeli shoreline once stood. Waters are vanishing at a rate of more than one metre a year and the problem is set to get worse without action on an international scale. The main reason the sea is shrinking is because its natural water sources, which flow south through the Jordan river valley from Syria and Lebanon, have been diverted for farming and drinking water along the way. Mining operations account for the remaining 30 per cent of the deterioration, according to Israel's parliamentary research group.

LEO MCKINSTRY: Why the French ARE to blame for migrant crisis

David Cameron yesterday repeated his view that 'there is no point in trying to point fingers of blame. It's about working with the French...' but LEO MCKINSTRY says they are the ones to blame.

DAILY MAIL COMMENT: It is time to end this migrant madness

Migrants make their way across a fence near near train tracks as they attempt to access the Channel Tunnel in Frethun, near Calais, France, July 29, 2015.

There were about 1,500 attempts by migrants to access the tunnel on Tuesday night, a Eurotunnel spokesman said, after 2,000 attempts the previous night.   REUTERS/Pascal Rossignol

The Calais shambles may have been building for months, but make no mistake: we are now witnessing a crisis which is having devastating repercussions across Britain.
