    A security exercise is being staged in the Channel Tunnel overnight by police, fire and ambulance teams from both England and France.

    Eurotunnel said it was to test the co-ordinated emergency response if an incident were to occur in the tunnel. A spokeswoman said it would simulate a "particularly demanding problem" on board a train, and would involve nearly 300 extras, assessors and observers.
