Watch: Three-storey barge expected to house migrants arrives at Falmouth
A barge set to house 500 asylum seekers has arrived in the UK as the government struggles with efforts to move migrants out of hotels.
The vessel has been towed from its former berth in Italy to the port of Falmouth, in Cornwall.
It will remain there while works are carried out, before being moved to its final destination in Portland, Dorset.
The private operators of the port struck an agreement to host the barge with the Home Office without formal public consultation, angering the local council and residents.
