-- next week's. The latest flashpoint

in Europe's migration crisis - is Greece's border with Macedonia -

where thousands of migrants have been driven

back with tear gas - The migrants had stormed one

of the main gates in the border fence - close to a camp at Idomeni -

where 7,000 people are using facilities designed

to cater for just 2,000. Macedonia is one of several European

countries introducing border controls - to limit the number

of people entering the country. Our correspondent,

Danny Savage, is at the camp. This border camp is full way

beyond its capacity. After a night out in the open,

much of the day is spent 7000 mainly Iraqis

and Syrians are here. Many of them have the right papers

to move on from Greece but the border is hardly

ever open and they You have to wait for a long time

for food, toilets, everywhere. And a crowd marched

on the border gate. As countries further up the migrant

trail restrict the flow of people, So the people took direct

action, forcing open This is the view from the Macedonian

side, a border guard fires tear gas On the other side of the fence

the man in the front of the picture in the blue jacket is

hit by that canister. There's panic as the toxic

gas starts spreading. A boy staggers from

the crash, retching. Today, on a European border,

children were tear-gassed. Those who had worked

here for months know why People just feel like nothing

is moving, they are worried that the border is not

going to open at all. They saw how quickly

restrictions were implemented for the Afghanis

and I think there's a real sense amongst the Syrians

and Iraqis that at any It's quite a while now

since the tear gas was fired - you can still smell it and taste it

in the air as well. So this stand-off

continues with several hundred people still here

at the border gates. And the violence will

continue as well. If the numbers here keep

growing and people keep And some people here

understand why the Macedonian authorities reacted

in the way they did. Because they throw stones on police

and they don't care about them. This evening this huge

encampment settled down to another night

in fields in northern Greece. They know there are people

in Europe who don't want them, but they also know Germany's

doors are open and can't understand why the countries

between here and there Danny Savage, BBC

News, on the Greece Some 1500 miles away from Greece -

in Northern France - another migrant crisis

has been developing. Much of the camp near

the port of Calais - known as 'the jungle' -

where thousands of people have been living in makeshift shelters -

has been dismantled. They came in at breakfast time,

the arrival of the state One by one, migrants waking

in the camp's southern zone were told they had an hour

to pack their things and leave, as all around, demolition teams took

the empty shelters apart. It didn't take long for others

to join in the destruction. A fire at one of the shelters set

riot police against those who'd Among them, activists,

who have been urging residents What was meant to be a gentle

eviction through encouragement and information became a blunt

exchange of tear gas and rocks Just a few hours in,

and already the plan for eviction The question here is

who the police are fighting - the migrants themselves

or the activists who say Those who leave are being offered

places in government contained homes just a few minutes walk away

in the camp's northern zone. These are very unpopular. If you

give them the finger prints, and then you go to another country and

you ask for asylum, they say you cannot ask for asylum in France,

because you have asked for asylum already. They cannot give you

documents. By dusk the battle was underway again, a second fire in the

place yesterday someone called home. The water cannon brought in,

not for the fire, but for the arsonists and anyone else

still standing nearby. TRANSLATION: The north border

activists set fire to the tents That is not acceptable

and it is normal that we have Among the weapons on display

in the camp tonight, a machete, carried openly,

within metres of the police. The stakes in the crisis

here are growing, and this, says Calais, is Britain's

problem, not ours. As we've seen the migrant crisis

is putting extreme pressure on Europe's borders -

and different countries It's not just Macedonia

which is putting up fences. Bulgaria has built

a razor-wire fence - 15-feet high - along parts

of its border with Turkey. Hungary has put up barriers along

its borders with Serbia and Croatia. There are also fences

between Croatia and Slovenia - Austria has also been heavily

criticised for limiting the amount of asylum applications it

accepts to 80 a day. All this has meant that migrants

and refugees arriving in Greece are having trouble moving north -

deepening the country's crisis. Our Europe editor Katya Adler

is in Athens tonight. We have spoken about the response of

individual countries, what about the response of the European Union? EU

has plenty of plans in place and it would like to form an EU border and

coastguard and security checks are designed for those coming from

outside the EU to the inside and it wants to dispel failed asylum

seekers, but that is taking too long, and in the meantime those

countries you mentioned who have had hundreds and thousands of refugees

travelling across them from their entry point into Europe in Greece,

they are breaking ranks and imposing their own border controls to protect

themselves. Tensions are running high. Greece is panicking,

struggling economically, worried it will be left looking after 70,000

frustrated refugees, but Angela Merkel -- but some people have said

Greece has only itself to blame. Angela Merkel says Greece cannot be

abandoned to plunge into chaos, though. Her word used to mean a lot

in EU circles, but now many people are blaming her for the open-door

policy in Germany which is worsening the crisis. The 28 member countries

in the EU cannot agree how to tackle this. Thanks for joining us.

The retail sector faces the loss of nearly a million jobs -

and the closure of thousands of shops in the next decade -

partly because of the rapid growth of online shopping.

The British Retail Consortium says rising costs due

to the National Living Wage - and the new apprenticeship levy -

Our economics editor Kamal Ahmed has more details.

Britain has been accused of being a nation of shopkeepers,

Three million people have jobs in the retail sector,

Rising costs, falling prices and reduced profits are a toxic mix.

What is striking about this report is how the industry is responding -

by increasing the number of people on very low pay.

I do believe retail has a problem with low pay.

It has been evidence-based that it's part of the low-paying sectors,

and that is the very reason we have been campaigning for quality jobs,

The changing world of retail could mean better prices for customers.

Brutal competition has its advantages.

It could mean higher pay for those left in the industry

But for hundreds of thousands of shop workers who could lose

The first minister of Scotland - Nicola Sturgeon -

has warned David Cameron against fighting what she called

a 'miserable, negative and fear-based' referendum campaign.

The Scottish Government is in favour of the UK staying

in the European Union - and the first minister said

Mr Cameron was already counting the cost of 'going negative'.

Mr Cameron has rejected claims he's trying to scare people

Our Scotland editor Sarah Smith reports.

Nicola Sturgeon is probably the UK party leader most enthusiastic

In London today she laid out what she thinks is a much more

positive case than we've heard from the Prime Minister.

Free trade, free movement, environmental protections,

employment and social rights, all of these are substantial

She fears David Cameron could lose the referendum if he tries

The risk to the in campaign is that if it is a miserable negative

scaremongering campaign then they will turn people off

and that is the last thing needed given how narrowly balanced

the opinion polls look to be across the UK.

Many of the arguments we are hearing so far are very reminiscent

of the arguments of the no campaign in the Scottish referendum.

What happened in the Scottish referendum was that that kind

of negative campaign saw the no campaign squander a 20 point lead

David Cameron could say these tactics won the referendum

The point I'm going on to make is the in campaign doesn't have a 20

Nicola Sturgeon says she doesn't want to scare people into staying

In America - it's the last day of campaigning before the busiest

single day - of the presidential primaries.

On what's called Super Tuesday - voters in 11 states will take part

in the process of selecting their party candidates.

There's been criticism that the standard of campaigning

on the Republican side - where Donald Trump is still

the front-runner - has reached an all-time low.

But his main rival - Senator Marco Rubio believes the man

he's been calling a 'con-artist' can be beaten - as our North America

editor Jon Sopel reports from Georgia.

It's also aggressive and uncompromising battle.

well, it seems only one person fits the bill.

Something he's continuing to do at his rallies.

He should sue whoever did that to his face.

Are you confident you can still beat Donald Trump?

He has fooled a number of voters around

but we look forward to examining his record and we have confidence

At the end of the day, when this process is finished,

Donald Trump will not have the 1237 delegates he needs to win,

and I will be in this race as long as it

takes to prevent that from happening.

Four people have gone on trial at the Old Bailey -

accused of illegally importing dozens of automatic weapons

into the UK - which prosecutors say were capable of 'unleashing carnage

The court heard the gang used a boat to smuggle the weapons

As the defendants were swept into the Old Bailey courthouse the City

of London traffic was held up by police. Armed officers stood sentry

and security levels around the court remain high all day. On trial, three

men and a woman, accused of smuggling a frightening number of

weapons across the Channel into Britain. Amongst them, 22 assault

rifles made in the Czech Republic, and nine Scorpion submachineguns.

25-year-old Harry Schilling on the left is accused of planning the job,

helped by his friend Michael did frame. The prosecution said they

bought this boat to bring the guns across the Channel, and it was

skippered by Dave Payne, he has pleaded guilty but his partner Jenny

is on trial, accused of helping him by and onto the boat. The

prosecution says he picked up the guns in Boulogne, sailed back across

the Channel and up the river Medway into an area of Kent to the

south-east of London. Once the guns were in Kent, Dave Payne sent a text

to a go-between, friend of Harry Schilling, all done. The prosecution

said Harry sitting e-mailed Michael, and said they are now officially

gangsters. The next day the guns were brought ashore. As the men were

and loading the weapons they were unaware they were being filmed, by

surveillance officers from the National Crime Agency who had baked

themselves on the other side of the river. The guns were seized along

with ammunition, all four people on trial deny the charges against them.

-- who had placed themselves. 14 men have been convicted

of plotting to steal Chinese artefacts and rhino horn -

worth up to ?57 million - in a series of raids

on museums and auction houses. The biggest was on the Fitzwilliam

Museum in Cambridge four years ago. The men will be sentenced

at a later date. A significant shortage of NHS

doctors and nurses means that more than two-thirds of trusts

and health boards - in England, Wales

and Northern Ireland - are actively trying to recruit

staff from overseas. Figures obtained by the BBC show

there are more than 23,000 nursing vacancies in those parts of the NHS

- that's 9% of the workforce. And there are 6,000

vacancies for doctors - Our health correspondent

Dominic Hughes has joined one NHS recruitment team in Manila

in the Philippines. A city more than 6,500

miles from the UK. And yet almost every week NHS trusts

fly halfway around the world Their mission, to find some

desperately needed nurses. Pauline is leading a team

from rural Lincolnshire. Today we are looking

for something like 46. You have to get a good feel for,

have they got the right skills and values and give them

a chance to get comfortable Around 200 candidates are put

through a gruelling series of tests Well, the United Lincolnshire Trust

is 200 nurses short and that contributes to a staggering bill

of ?2.5 million spent each The charity ward of

Manila's biggest hospital. One of the senior nurses here says

this is a typically intense training ground for those trying

to land jobs in the UK. Handling 25 patients per shift,

basically hones more of the skills. Unlike the NHS, the Philippines has

a glut of qualified nurses - each year as many as

100,000 are trained. But the country can offer less

than 40,000 nursing jobs. The reason so many Filipino nurses

are willing to swap the vibrant and chaotic streets of Manila

for Lincolnshire is poverty. A nurse here may expect to earn

around ?135 a month. By getting a job in the UK

with the NHS they can increase their salary

by ten times at a stroke. One nurse heading to Lincolnshire

is 26 year-old Rose. The job she has been offered

will change her life and that For Rose, Lincolnshire

is a long way from home. I will be leaving my family

here and living there on my own but it is

all right with me. Because I really want to help them,

I really want to earn money just to help them and give

them a better life. We are absolutely delighted

to offer 131 of you a job Rose and more than 100 others

offered jobs still have to pass tough language and

professional exams before they can take up

their jobs in the UK. But the recruitment process

is also about saving money. Once they work in practice for three

months unsupervised, becoming independent practitioners,

they will have paid for themselves. While the NHS struggles to train

and recruit staff at home, for these Filipino nurses a new life

in Lincolnshire awaits. Google's self-driving car has

hit a bus in a minor It's believed to be the first case

of one of the company's autonomous Our Technology Correspondent Rory

Cellan-Jones is here. We know that in previous examples,

other cars have driven into Google's car, but now the reverse has

happened. The self driving Lexus was making its way along side a road in

California, where Google is based, and it came across some sandbags

blocking its way, and the car and the test driver on board saw a bus

and they judged it was going to stop, it pulled out and the bus did

not stop and it ran into the car, causing minor damage and no

injuries. Google says it is reprogramming the software and it

says the cars will more deeply understand that the buses and other

large vehicles are less likely to yield to us than other types of

vehicles, a lesson may be other human drivers have already learned!

shone a bright light - once again - on the lack of ethnic

diversity in Hollywood - and certainly among this

year's Oscar nominees. All 20 nominees in the best acting

or supporting acting It's prompted a lively

debate about the reasons - and the kind of response

that some say is needed. Let's join our entertainment

correspondent Lizo Mzimbo The perception is the Academy has

been stunned into action, proposals include losing some elderly members

and doubling the number of ethnic minority voters by the year 2020,

but none of this came into line for last night, but it was a night which

saw celebrities highlighting serious subjects including the host Chris

talked about as much Well, I'm here at

the Academy Awards. Otherwise known as the White

People's Choice Awards! You realise if they nominated hosts,

I wouldn't even get this job! Chris Rock's sometimes savage

monologue referenced the present We were too busy being raped

and lynched to care As was the winner of Best Actor,

Leonardo DiCaprio. I thank you all for this

amazing award tonight. Let us not take this

planet for granted. His director, on The Revenant,

Alejandro Inarritu, also won. His speech was also more

substance than show business. Make sure, for once and forever,

that the colour of a skin becomes as irrelevant as the

Best Film was won by... The Academy honouring the story

included Mark Rylance. The actor, who made his name

on the stage, has now added a Best Supporting Actor Oscar

for Bridge of Spies to his Olivier How does it feel to have won,

Mark? As an actor, to win an Academy Award

is something very unusual, Amy, about singer Amy Winehouse,

took the best documentary award. It is about showing the world

what she was really like. The beautiful girl,
