Campaigners renew calls for UK to accept 10,000 child refugees

Government urged to offer places as events celebrate 80 years since Kindertransport

There have been fresh calls to bring 10,000 child refugees to safety in the UK amid events celebrating the 80th anniversary of the Kindertransport trains that saved many children from the Nazis.

The home secretary, Sajid Javid, announced a new resettlement scheme for the most vulnerable refugees on Monday but did not say how many children would be included.
