The impact of the refugee crisis on Macedonia and Denmark.

Analysis of news and current affairs, including the impact of the refugee crisis on Macedonia and Denmark, and a possible rebellion over the government's EU Referendum.

As David Cameron prepares to tell the Commons about the government's plans to take more refugees from camps in the countries neighbouring Syria, we report from a children's home in Kent already struggling the refugee children they are dealing with.

We also have a report from a new flashpoint in the Balkans where thousands of people who have surged into Macedonia from Greece say they are being mistreated and forced to face long delays.

The government could face a rebellion and perhaps defeat over its bill to pave the way for a referendum on Britain's membership of the European Union which is being debated in the commons today. We speak to leading Tory rebel Bernard Jenkin on why Downing Street has failed to appease him.

And the BBC's Director of Strategy James Purnell on new BBC plans to work in partnership with local newspapers.
