4 Syrians arrive in UK from Calais
Four Syrian refugees have arrived in Britain from Jungle migrant camp in Calais.
The arrival came after a landmark court ruling by judges on a British immigration tribunal ordering the Interior Ministry to allow the four to enter Britain while their asylum claims are considered.
The three teenagers and a 26-year old with mental health problems had been living in the Calais camp for over two months. Their lawyers argued conditions there were "intolerable" and that their cases should be handled in Britain due to bureaucratic delays.
Based on European rules, also known as Dublin III, asylum seekers must claim asylum in the first country they reach.
But those migrants who have a relative living legally in another European country do have a legal entitlement to then apply to seek asylum there, but only if they have already been processed by the first country.
Now it is thought the case could pave the way for many other refugees in the Calais camp to be brought to Britain.
