12.10 Security has been tightened at British ports and on Eurostar in the wake of the Paris attacks, Downing Street said. Matthew Holehouse reports:
Passports are also being more closely scrutinised on the French side of the border by British authorities.
The additional security measures mean a great visibility of security staff and police and greater scanning of cars and freight.
No 10 said the move was not in response to a specific threat but more a general reaction to recent events.
12.04 The Charlie Hebdo attack suspects are believed to have stolen food and petrol at gunpoint from this service station in Villers-Cotteret, Picardy - around 50 miles northeast of Paris - before driving off in the direction of the capital.

12.01 A bomb alert was declared at a train station in the French city of Colmar this morning, in the Alsace region of north-eastern France.
No link to either of the recent shootings has yet been suggested.
