The top story. Today, children were tear-gassed at a European border

after migrants smashed through the border fence between Macedonia and

Greece. There is no room, no tent for the people. There is trouble in

Calais, French authorities have demolished part of the jungle

migrant camp. We will be live in Washington to get the latest on the

Republican and Democratic contest for the presidential nomination. No

doubt Donald Trump will feature heavily in that conversation.

Astronaut Scott Kelly is about to return to Earth after a year in

space and we will have a look at his best photographs. We will also find

out why scientists are getting so excited about a blind Slovenian

salamander. Let's get more now on our top story.

Frustrations boiled over for some of the thousands of migrants captain --

trapped in camps on the European borders. Migrants are trying to get

to northern Europe heading up to Germany but Austria has put a cap on

migrant numbers so that means many states further down are also

limiting the number of people they allow through. You can see the

effect that this is having in a camp on the Macedonian Greek border.

Idomeni was built for 1500 refugees, it has many, many more.

This is how it looks on Greece's border with Macedonia.

After a night out in the open, children join a long line

with their parents, waiting for food.

At the end of the line they get a bag of bread to last the day.

Babies bottles are held up, hoping to be filled.

Macedonia only allows a handful to cross the border every day,

You have to wait for a long time for food, toilets, everywhere.

Hundreds of them have decided to force open the gate.

This is the result of the tension that has been building

As they push at the border, the crush begins to take its toll.

This is how it looked on the Macedonian side

Suddenly, the border is breached, triggering panic among the police.

A guard fires tear gas directly at the migrants.

On the other side of the fence, the man in the blue jacket is hit

Cue panic, as tear gas explodes all around them.

Men, women, and children run for safety.

A boy staggers from the crush, retching from the gas.

Others are too dazed to stand, their eyes and lungs burning.

Today, on a European border, children were tear-gassed.

It is quite a while since the tear gas was fired but you can

still smell it and taste it in the air as well.

So, this stand-off continues, with several hundred people

The violence will continue as well if the numbers here keep growing

Those who have worked here for months say it has never

They are worried the border will not open at all.

They saw how quickly restrictions were implemented for the Afghanis.

There is a real sense among Syrians and Iraqis that at any

where tear-gassed wafted earlier, families set up camp.

There is growing desperation on this European frontier.

Let's have a look at this port and get reaction to what was another big

weekend in the English Premier League. We can go to the BBC sports

Centre. Sarah Walton is there. It is hard to predict who will win this

season. Yes, it is. Manchester United

continued their return to form. Marcus Rashford scored on his debut

to the Premier League. Some of the big-name players appeared to freeze

at such an important match. Down in London, they're right. None managed

to come from a goal down to scored twice against Swansea city at the

end of the second half -- Tottenham. Leicester are a team on an

impressive run. They took Norwich who had not won in six matches, but

they almost left it to the last minute to score. Leonardo Ulloa

scoring. Both Leicester and Tottenham scoring at the end of

matches. That is an attitude that could decide the title battle. It is

very tight between the top three. Arsenal slip into third after their

loss to Manchester United. Manchester City won the League Cup.

Now looking ahead to this week's matches. Leicester City are facing

West Bromwich Albion. If Leicester lose it could get interesting for

Tottenham if they beat West Ham away on Wednesday. West Ham or the run of

13 unbeaten home games. Arsenal face a must win match at home to Swansea

also on Wednesday. Liverpool will be looking for revenge on Manchester

City three days after they beat them in that cup final.

Thank you. We will continue with football. The Manchester boss Louis

van Gaal took a bizarre fall as part of an argument with the fourth

official. The Dutchman rarely leaves his seat in the dugout during

matches but this time he decided to talk to one of the officials. Let's

have a look. We have had our comedy moment of the

season, Louis van Gaal, who never comes out to the technical area,

comes out to have a word with the official. Clipboards still in hand,

that is brilliant. Louis van Gaal fell over onto his backside.

Normally I do not do that. It is not good for the referee. I apologise

after the game and everything is resolved. That is something we never

thought we would see. It will be talked about for ages.

Back on his bike again. Lee Armstrong first competed in the

national Championship in 1966. This time saw him go more slowly, not

above 100 kilometres an hour. He built his first bike in his own

repair shop and he has never looked back, even bringing his wife along

as mechanic. He says it is all about speed. TRANSLATION: I started in

about 1947 on bikes I built myself. I have driven on grass tracks,

Speedway and ice racing and I think I is racing is the most fun. The

sport uses steel wheels with razor sharp spikes. Ollie described the

sport is very enjoyable. He says he hopes to still be driving when he

reaches 100. An amazing man! In a few minutes we

will be talking about this odd looking creature. It lives in a cave

in Slovenia and lays eggs once or twice a decade. That has happened

and scientists are very excited. There is such a shortage of doctors

and nurses in the UK. Two thirds of health trusts and boards are

actively trying to recruit from abroad as they struggle to cope with

the shortage of qualified staff. Figures obtained by the BBC have

revealed that tens of thousands of NHS posts have still to be fields.

That is something of a crisis. -- still to be filled.

Many hospitals are struggling to find staff to fill jobs. A BBC

Freedom of Information request found 69% of trusts are recruiting abroad.

There are more than 23,000 nursing vacancies in England, Wales and

Northern Ireland. That is 9% of the workforce. More than 6000 Doctor

posts were also vacant. Figures for Scotland were not available. The

Department of Health in England and the Welsh Government both say more

doctors and nurses are now working for the NHS. The doctors union the

BMA says services like A are struggling to recruit. It has an

immediate impact when we cannot recruit people properly to work in

such departments because the investment in them has deteriorated

over the last three years. Meanwhile, this doctor is hard at

work in Romford in Essex. She was trained in Romania. The NHS offers

some distinct advantages. I do want to specialise here for the next few

years. For decades, highly trained doctors like Dr Baca come from

abroad to work in the NHS. But a shortage of trained staff in the UK

means overseas medics are becoming an increasingly popular solution to

home-grown recruitment crisis. This is Outside Source live from the

BBC newsroom. Children are tear-gassed as a group of migrants

smashed through the border between Macedonia and Greece. They were

being blocked from continuing their journey to northern Europe.

What you see next depends on where you are watching. Around the world,

it is world News America next. They are reporting on one of the most

powerful figures in the Vatican. He is giving a second day of testimony

to an Australian commission on child abuse.

The News at Ten is next in the UK. It reports a million jobs could

disappear in the retail sector over the next decade because of the move

to online shopping. Tomorrow is a big day for the

candidates most likely to follow Barack Obama to the White House.

Super Tuesday is when 11 states hold their presidential nomination

contest. For the Republicans, favourite Donald Trump is in the

lead and taking a lot of fire including from the Republican

establishment. The latest controversy, the apparent failure of

the billionaire businessmen to swiftly denounced the support of a

white supremacist, a Ku Klux Klan leader.

This has come in in the last few hours.

Mr Trump said he disavow the endorsement. He has also posted a

quote on Twitter from Mahatma Gandhi. Let's see what is happening.

Catty key is in Washington for us. Do you think Donald Trump is rattled

by the insults? -- Katty Kay. It is hard to know. He is getting it from

all angles, from Republicans, Democrats, even Republicans who have

supported him up until now. Today, for the first time, a Republican

senator has said if Donald Trump is the nominee he will not be voting

for him. That is very unusual. I have never heard a senator come out

and say they will not vote for the nominee of their party. He is under

pressure today and I think it is this failure of his over the weekend

to very clearly repudiates the Ku Klux Klan. They are the antithesis

of everything America wants to stand for today. Is he going to apologise?

No. Is he going to keep saying he will win? Yes. If he rattled?

Possibly. Rattled but not toppled. Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz, do they

have a chance of taking over? Marco Rubio attacked Donald Trump for the

first time in the debate last Tuesday night. He has carried on

doing so over the weekend. This campaign race sounds like it has

degenerated into something my ten-year-old is probably too old

for. It sounds like a kindergarten brawl at the moment on the campaign

trail. Rubio like his loving punching the bully in the nose. It

has not done much for his opinion poll ratings. Donald Trump is the

front runner in many states and it would be pretty amazing if we come

out of super Tuesday and Donald Trump is not the clear nominee for

the US presidency. I guess the problem is, there was a grass in the

Washington Post a few hours ago showing that when they delved down

to insults, when they use the playground rhetoric, we all cover it

and they get more publicity? Not that we haven't covered Donald Trump

all along, right? Ever since he announced last June, I think we have

given him plenty of free exposure which is why he has not had to spend

much of his own money on television advertising. I think he gets 20

times more exposure on US television than other candidates. They are

cover a ball, this matters. Whoever is the next president of the United

States is a hugely critical decision and you have to give whoever is the

nominee for the republican or the Democrats a pretty good chance of

winning. On the Democrats' side, Hillary Clinton is looking more

confident now. Is she right to? I think Nevada was a turning point.

There she went and won South Carolina. The dumps seems to be

going out of the Bernie Sanders excitement -- the oomph seems to be

going out of the Bernie sounders -- Bernie Sanders campaign. Thank you,

Katty Kay, we will speak again this week.

Donald Trump wants to build a wall along the Mexican border. He wants

Mexicans to pay for it. Not surprisingly people do not like the

idea and he was heckled at a rally on Monday. People were saying, get

them out. We have been thinking about that issue of the wall and

Mexico and we have asked some Mexicans what they think.

We are going to have our border is nice and strong. Were going to build

a wall. Build a wall. Build a wall and Mexico will pay for it, right?

A former president said Mexico will not pay for the wall, could we have

your comment? I said the wall will get ten feet higher.

We have a trade deficit with Mexico. They will pay for the wall.

There will be a wall. This is a Trump wall.

They beat of the border. Drugs are flowing through.

They are going to be thrilled to be paying for the wall.

OK, enough Trump. This is a Olm. It is a type of

dragon from Slovenia. Hundreds of years ago when they were

washed out from the heavy rain, locals saw there and thought, what

is this pale skinned creature and they called them baby dragons. They

can live up to 100 years and it is very rare that they lay eggs? Only

six years or more that they reproduce and it has very rarely

been seen in captivity. This is happening in an aquarium in a cave

in Slovenia which is a read Daesh -- this is a tourist destination. Does

this mean tourists have been filing past the aquarium to watch them

hatch? They have to watch it on a screen because the tank has been

boarded up to protect the mum from the light. An infrared camera has

been set up. So you have to safeguard the eggs from outside

interest? They have involved in a very protected environment. They

used to clean water, little disturbance. The scientists are very

keen to met they hatch and they are keen to observe the process

happening. You have written a fascinating article about the Olm

online. The mother can tell if the eggs are viable or not and what does

she do if they are not? She them. It happened surprisingly a lot in these

kind of amphibians -- she eats them. Food is very precious in these caves

and these animals can go up to ten years without eating. If they are

not developing, she will have a snack.

From underground to up there. After spending an entire year in space,

astronaut Scott Kelly is returning to Earth tomorrow night. He treated

us to some fantastic images of our planet. Here are some of the

highlights. Let me tell you, we have been

following your Instagram feed down here. It is spectacular.

Some gorgeous images. Some of you may be wondering where

was is. He has gone to South Africa from where he will be presenting

your programme on Tuesday. I will let him explain -- you may wonder

where Ros is. Join me from Johannesburg. We will pull together

all of the elements of an evolving story. That will happen at the

normal Outside Source hours. Thank you very much for watching.

Hello. February 2016 was a leap year and there was plenty of sparkle in

the weather story to greet us but the sparkle came
