Macedonia Police Fire Tear-Gas at Migrants

Macedonian police fire tear gas to disperse migrants storming border from Greece.

Macedonian police have fired tear gas at hundreds of migrants trying to storm a border fence to enter Macedonia from Greece. Greek police say more than 6,000 migrants and refugees are trapped there as a result of fences and border controls in the Balkans. We hear from a Greek journalist near the scene in Idomeni. Also on the programme: Syria's partial truce is still holding as UN trucks begin to deliver more aid to besieged towns; a rumour about a schoolboy in Sri Lanka having AIDS, prompts parents to pull their children out of school; and the politics of the Oscars.
