:02:28. > :02:31.country. Our correspondent Tomos Morgan
:02:32. > :02:42.gave me the latest from the camp. Migrants living in the area which is
:02:43. > :02:49.half of the camp here have three choices. They can move into the
:02:50. > :02:53.containers that the government have set out for them, they can move to a
:02:54. > :03:01.different area of France, in search of other migrant asylum areas, or

:03:09. > :03:16.authorities have said that they the white force anyone to leave. -- they
:03:17. > :03:19.won't force anyone to leave. They are trying to close down the
:03:20. > :03:24.southern area, but they said that they will keep some of the community
:03:25. > :03:27.structures, the school, the church, the legal Centre, because they are
:03:28. > :03:32.paddlers Hazmat pillars of the community created here. However, aid

:03:42. > :03:47.segregating them. -- the charity said.
:03:48. > :03:54.Give us an idea of what the conditions are like this. The
:03:55. > :04:00.conditions are better in Calais than they are in the Dunkirk camp, which
:04:01. > :04:04.is around 30 miles down the road. Aid workers, and many different
:04:05. > :04:10.workers, have been here for several months helping people from around
:04:11. > :04:14.the world, from the Middle East and Africa. Many of them live in
:04:15. > :04:18.structures built out of wood and canvas, and the women and children
:04:19. > :04:24.particularly get extra help from charities, they get supplies, and
:04:25. > :04:29.today, they were allowed to pick out their clothes in a more dignified
:04:30. > :04:35.manner than other charities dishing out food. The situation is not good,
:04:36. > :04:39.but it is better than in Dunkirk, where everyone is living in tents,
:04:40. > :04:42.and the situation has been described by the Red Cross as some of the

:05:13. > :05:24.At the main border, 3000 people living on a site built a half that
:05:25. > :05:30.number. Living on the migrant trail, it has slowed to a crawl. This is
:05:31. > :05:35.the spot where people have to pass through. But for much of the last
:05:36. > :05:40.three days, it has stayed shut. That is because the next border going
:05:41. > :05:48.north, between Macedonia and Serbia, is closed for much of the time as
:05:49. > :05:56.well. It the classic domino effect. We wait, six hours, seven hours,
:05:57. > :06:00.until the board is open. Sometimes, they closed the border, but people
:06:01. > :06:08.go to the camp. Just over the border, the train was stuck for
:06:09. > :06:13.hours, and frustrations grew. Just wait, just wait. What is the
:06:14. > :06:17.problem? So a backlog of coaches and clean it is is building up down the
:06:18. > :06:25.line. This is a service station just short of the border. Greece is is in
:06:26. > :06:28.danger of becoming a warehouse of souls, and interior minister said.

:06:43. > :06:48.level, there is not capacity to shelter them, and to give them basic
:06:49. > :06:52.care. I also talked to these Afghans and Pakistani 's. They will not be
:06:53. > :06:57.allowed to cross the border because they are not Syrian or Iraqi. They
:06:58. > :07:04.will probably head for the hills. Organise and don't move! In the last
:07:05. > :07:08.three days, 8000 people have arrived in Greece like this. And they will
:07:09. > :07:11.try to push north by whatever means, despite all the pretty -- political

:07:15. > :07:26.Foreign Policy Director How common is it for an ambassador
:07:27. > :07:30.to be recalled over a matter like this? Forte EU countries, it is very
:07:31. > :07:35.unusual indeed. I cannot think of a previous occasion. The problem is
:07:36. > :07:39.that the countries on the front line like Greece and Italy have their own
:07:40. > :07:42.agenda, but other countries like Austria and Hungary want to limit
:07:43. > :07:47.the number of migrants coming through, and there is a disconnect
:07:48. > :07:50.between the tee. There is, and what the Austrians are going to do if
:07:51. > :07:56.they carry on in this way is to bottle up ever larger numbers in
:07:57. > :08:00.Greece, and they cannot cope with the numbers. What do you think can
:08:01. > :08:05.be done now in terms of getting them to come together and find some sort
:08:06. > :08:09.of plan? The European Commission has been trying to do that today, and
:08:10. > :08:13.the Commissioner has been talking about that and talking about the
:08:14. > :08:18.need for coordinated action. But the most important thing is that the EU
:08:19. > :08:23.needs to start looking beyond the borders to see how it stops people
:08:24. > :08:26.beginning this perilous journey to Europe, because if it cannot stop
:08:27. > :08:31.that, then it cannot stop people coming from Syria. It is not going
:08:32. > :08:36.to be able to cope with the problem in these enormous numbers of
:08:37. > :08:42.migrants. So try and sort the problem at the source? By perfecting
:08:43. > :08:48.piece to Syria? That is not likely in the short term. We had a recent
:08:49. > :08:51.conference to raise money. How useful is that money going to be?
:08:52. > :08:56.The money is going to be useful, but it is not enough to try and provide
:08:57. > :09:01.sustainable livelihoods for people in the region. As well as trying to
:09:02. > :09:08.work for peace in Syria, which is going to be a long-term problem, you
:09:09. > :09:13.can try and keep the people going to Turkey and Jordan and Lebanon in
:09:14. > :09:17.better conditions, so they have less of an incentive to travel on. If
:09:18. > :09:24.they are living in tense, if the children cannot get educated, they
:09:25. > :09:28.can listen to the smugglers, and they will take several thousand
:09:29. > :09:34.dollars can get them into Europe. There has been a lot of tension with
:09:35. > :09:45.a whole British exit issue. Is that taking the attention away from... It
:09:46. > :09:48.has had two effects. It has meant that the EU has been talking about
:09:49. > :09:54.Britain's problems when it should have been talking about Syria's
:09:55. > :09:58.problems. British politicians have not felt able or brave enough to say
:09:59. > :10:02.that Britain needs to play a bigger role in accepting some of those
:10:03. > :10:07.refugees. Should they play a bigger role? Yes, they then Ie we should.

:20:02. > :20:09.Soweto, we would go out and hunt for birds. I did not know later in life
:20:10. > :20:15.that I would be met with the challenge of educating our community
:20:16. > :20:23.and the world about the importance of bird conservation. The birds we
