>Woman spared jail after helping refugee lover get to the UK

>A former Front National supporter has been spared punishment after helping her lover, an Iranian refugee, cross into Britain.

>Beatrice Huret, 44, helped Mokhtar and two other men cross the English Channel in a boat she had purchased for €1,000 (£885).

>A French court on Tuesday found her guilty of helping Mokhtar leave France, but she was not given any punishment.

>Ms Huret had previously supported the Front National, the French far-right, anti-immigration party led by Marine Le Pen.

>But her life changed when she drove a young Sudanese man to the Jungle camp in Calais, near her home, in 2015.

>Ms Huret described meeting Mokhtar as "love at first sight". He has now been granted asylum in the UK, and is living in Sheffield where Ms Huret visits him regularly.
