Good morning, I'm Ricky, and this is Newsround.

:00:11.:00:14.

First, what should Britain do about the children, escaping war,

:00:15.:00:16.

who have travelled to Europe on their own?

:00:17.:00:19.

It's part of a big argument about whether the UK has already

:00:20.:00:22.

done enough to help child refugees, or whether it should do more.

:00:23.:00:25.

Jenny went to meet one politician who was a child refugee himself,

:00:26.:00:29.

and has been campaigning to allow more lone children into the UK.

:00:30.:00:47.

This was the Europe 80 years ago. Many people were fleeing the Nazis,

:00:48.:00:55.

who killed many people in Europe in what is now known as the Holocaust.

:00:56.:01:01.

Seven out of ten Jewish people living in Europe were killed. Alf

:01:02.:01:08.

dubs lived in a country called Czechoslovakia and he is now a

:01:09.:01:11.

politician in the UK. I was six years old, living in Prague, a

:01:12.:01:17.

capital city. The Germans occupied Prague in 1939 things began to

:01:18.:01:20.

change and there were German soldiers everywhere.

:01:21.:01:32.

My mother was refused permission to leave. She put me on a kindergarten

:01:33.:01:36.

transport, trains taking children from Germany, Austria, and

:01:37.:01:39.

Czechoslovakia to Britain. I was the youngest person on the train, maybe

:01:40.:01:44.

150 children on this train. We went in the night. On the night boat to

:01:45.:01:50.

halogen then we went on the train to live station. How important was it

:01:51.:02:00.

to you? -- Liverpool station. I think kindergarten sports saved My

:02:01.:02:10.

Life. There are many children like this in Europe today. I think it is

:02:11.:02:16.

tough. These children have no one to protect them. There is a campaign to

:02:17.:02:21.

get some of these unaccompanied children to this country, to safety.

:02:22.:02:25.

What did you hope would happen? I hope several thousand of them should

:02:26.:02:29.

come to Britain. I never said they should all come to Britain will stop

:02:30.:02:34.

I hoped they would find safety, love and affection after all the terrible

:02:35.:02:38.

experiences. The Government said 200 loan children had been brought to

:02:39.:02:43.

Britain under the scheme, set up by Alf dubs and it would close after

:02:44.:02:47.

another 150 would be settled in the UK. There was a row about whether

:02:48.:02:52.

the UK Government has done enough to help. Alf Dubs does not think so. I

:02:53.:03:00.

am disappointed. For these children, there was hope for the better life.

:03:01.:03:03.

I hope the Government is feeling ashamed. The Government says it has

:03:04.:03:11.

helped unaccompanied children and it encourages children to make a

:03:12.:03:13.

dangerous journey across Europe. What do you say to that? I do not

:03:14.:03:19.

agree with the arguments. We can take some, we have to be asked. You

:03:20.:03:24.

cannot say, because some might come we will ignore the ones in Europe

:03:25.:03:27.

anyway for some it is awful. You cannot turn our backs on them. What

:03:28.:03:33.

do you think will happen? We need to look very hard at every opportunity

:03:34.:03:38.

to change their minds. We asked the Government to respond. They told

:03:39.:03:39.

us... 20,000 Syrians will be getting a new

:03:40.:03:51.

home in the UK by 2020. Should Arsene Wenger

:03:52.:03:56.

stay or should he go? That's the question on the lips

:03:57.:03:58.

of many Arsenal fans this week after the team's humiliating 10-2

:03:59.:04:01.

aggregate defeat to Bayern Munich Gunners fans in London have been

:04:02.:04:04.

telling us what they think. Arsene Wenger should leave Arsenal

:04:05.:04:15.

because he lost 3-1 against Liverpool due to the fact he had put

:04:16.:04:20.

Sanchez on the bench. Arsenal are not doing well, so I think he should

:04:21.:04:24.

have a break and come back to football. We are not winning any

:04:25.:04:29.

matches and Arsenal are not going to get into the Champions League next

:04:30.:04:32.

year for the big players signing like Koscielny and Sanchez are going

:04:33.:04:59.

to leave at some point and we need to get back winning more matches.

:05:00.:05:01.
