The first group among hundreds of children Britain has agreed to accept from the Calais migrant camp have travelled to London.<br /><br /> Escorted by volunteers, the six minors – five Afghans and one Syrian – boarded a train after the UK, under pressure from France, said they could be reunited with relatives.<br /><br /> The camp known as “the jungle” is due to be dismantled in the coming weeks.<br /><br /> “In London, there is my family. My sister. We have to go. We don’t have any solution and we can’t live in another country, or in France or in Germany,” said Saadi, a young Afghan refugee.<br /><br /> Both the British and French governments have been seeking solutions for hundreds of unaccompanied children.<br /><br /> Britain says small groups have been coming on a weekly basis for the last few months.<br /><br /> But questions remain about what will happen to those without family ties in the UK.<br /><br /> France insists plans to close the Calais camp will go ahead despite a court challenge from a group of charities.<br /><br /> It wants to resettle small groups of migrants in reception centres around the country. <br /><br /> Thousands of migrants fleeing war and hardship in countries such as Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Eritrea have reached the Channel port.<br /><br /> France says it tries to persuade them to apply for asylum there but many, desperate to reach Britain, try to jump on board lorries or fall prey to smugglers.<br />
