US to Honour WW2 Japanese Activist

US travel alert, Migrants sew lips together in protest, US-Japanese activist honoured.

Migrants stuck on the border between Greece and Macedonia have sewn their lips together to protest against not being allowed to continue their journey.

The Medal of Freedom is America's highest civilian award. One of this year's recipients is Minoru Yasui - who has won the reward posthumously for taking on the US government during WW2.
