who live here the southern part of the camp to leave their shelters ahead of this operation. most often do and it's pretty don'tto most that that when workers arrived that they will not stay for much longer. authorities have an extra 30 meters in the southern part of the camp where conditions are worse. there was already a 100 meter outside ofstablished the camp. this operation pushing people back toward the north of the jungle where these containers are, which the authorities see as a partial solution to this. they admit that they are now nearly full. things have been a little bit people staying behind on the routes of shelters to protect as this operation goes on day by day.

some people want to stay here for now. they feel in limbo. as the french authorities are being direct it towards trying to get some of these people to stay in temporary standards or claim asylum in the french system after passing through other asylum centers in france, that is not what the vast majority want to do. say 3000 haveties gone into that system. it's not an insignificant number when you think about it. there were only a few thousand people who pass through this particular camp from the greece-macedonia border. french authorities admit that was this area is clear, their lights will remain in the calais area. they deem themselves the slightest chance of making it to the u.k., i would say that's a lot less possible than a few months ago. genie: thanks so much for that. chris moore reporting from calais. time now for businesses with stephen carroll. you will start with china where there is black clouds with

a big day for donald trump and hillary clinton and not a great day for the public and party. oliver: donald trump has left the republican party in his wake as he won seven primaries yesterday, including five in the south, which is breaking through ted cruz's southern firewall, which was expected to give the texas senator a big boost. donald has not been tweeting much this evening, nothing terribly controversial, but he did however send out a few cursory tweets of thanks to all the states that did vote for him. hillary clinton was also the choice in seven states. she condensed most of her thank you's to her profile picture which she changed, thank you, super tuesday states. bernie sanders had a reasonable time himself. he went for primary states. won for primary states.

oklahoma, colorado, massachusetts, and for mark. vermont. asco rubio only 11 state marco rubio pretense he's a winner, convinces no one could . that is referring to the upbeat speech he gave in miami. a number of tweets posted on that mashable piece include this one saying that marco rubio is either the most optimistic loser of all time or the dumbest man in america before proceeding to go on and say something a little router. party has republican to find itself rallying around someone it does not even like that much -- senator ted cruz. oliver: the tea party senator and texas won two states alaska may happen as well. genie: alaska did happen. oliver: yes, indeed.

5:56 am
around ted cruz, a doomsday scenario for the republican establishment. genie: let's take a look at the democrats now. is the way clear now for the democratic nominee, who we can assume is hillary clinton? oliver: ordinarily, you might say yes as she is pulling better than donald trump in a hypothetical head-to-head battle at the moment. perhaps if the election were to take place tomorrow, she would win it. november is a long way away. there would be an awful lot of attack ads and back fighting in the works from them. for "the new republic" to changeon will have her attacks a little bit if she wants to be successful against donald trump. he says, i hope the clinton people understand that they have to run a much more economically defeat donalde futur
