A 19 mile wall of razor wire and fencing has been erected along the the Greek-Macedonia border crossing as the country closed its gates to refugees hoping to make their way into the EU. Citing a similar policy by Serbia further north, Macedonia has not allowed anybody in for the past 24 hours - causing a bottleneck among those making their way through the Balkans. The decision led to extraordinary riots yesterday in which refugees smashed down a fence with a homemade battering ram and tear gas was fired by police. It also comes as new figures reveal the migrant crisis currently engulfing the region has worsened significantly from last year.
