Refugee crisis

Thousands of migrants are stranded in Bosnia and Herzegovina on the border with Croatia. As the winter closes in, the external border of the European Union is inching towards a humanitarian emergency. Around 21,000 migrants have taken this route seeking safe refuge in the EU.

Police today removed more than 1,800 migrants living in makeshift tents at the Grande-Synthe migrant camp in France.

The far-right is campaigning hard in the Swedish countryside ahead of Sunday's election on its pet theme of immigration, but neither the SD nor any other party appears to be addressing people's concerns.
