As temperatures across Europe plummet, thousands of migrants are still stranded in Belarus. Many have spent weeks outside in freezing forests near Poland. They’re still hoping to find a route into the European Union – though Brussels insists the bloc will not accept them. DW’s Nick Connolly met some of those migrants in the Belarusian capital Minsk. He spoke to people torn between hope and resignation.
Meanwhile, the exiled Belarusian opposition leader Svetlana Tikhanovskaya has told the European Union it must live up to its values and actively oppose the authoritarian leader Alexander Lukashenko. DW’s Barbara Wesel caught up with her in Brussels.
And the deaths of 27 people in the English Channel are deepening tensions between Britain and France. The French interior minister has cancelled weekend talks with his UK counterpart after suggestions by the British Prime Minister France wasn’t doing enough to stop migrants trying to reach England by boat. DW correspondent Jack Parrock visited the French port of Calais. And spoke to people hoping to make the same journey.

When you paid smugglers, wasn't that a red flag?
Freedom is like honey. They experience it in Europe and now all of them want it. They realise sharia law is not working for them.
Organise guns and make a rebellion in your own country, save all that money for weapons and fight for your children
Let them frezze if they got no imagination
I do not cry if someone died, because needs to take a part of my life. Say no ! Me !
The Global Climate Wall: Wealthy Nations Prioritize Militarizing Borders Over Climate Action

More fool them lots of people in Uk would like a better life and they were born here
Najlepsze dla nich rozwiązanie to stworzyć bezpieczny i dobrze prosperujący kraj u siebie. Wyglądają na zdrowych, silnych i dobrze wykarmionych, często dobrze ubranych ludzi. Czyżby tchórze i lenie?
Exellent job Poland
New Ice Age will come Europeans will have to migrate down South and they will be treated like human cargo
So why dont they claim asylum in belarus
Enough is enough!!!!!
Its calked protecting their borders if you had money to pay traffickers you are mot an asylum seeker
so they would rather die crossing a border but not be willing to risk their lives to do their country a better place?
Stay strong Poland. When someone smashes down your door and breaks into your house it's a crime. It is criminal what these tourists in Belarus are trying to do.
Ah yes, wanted to escape to get medical treatment for the family. And who is actually going to pay for this treatment? It's the National Health Service in the UK not the International health service. Same with other European countries. People pay their taxes for their medical treatment, not for freeloaders who have contributed nothing,
Don’t be fooled by the lies
What do they expect? I couldn't just turn up at a country and expect them to adopt me, good for Poland!
Why don't they stay in Minsk? Oh right they don't get enough free money.
We support OUR people! Stay strong Poland. They are nothing more than tourists. You cannot break the law to get citizenship in another country.
Each one keeps blaming the other with no resolution.
I don’t really understand? Do they expect Europe to provide free healthcare for their family? Why doesn’t Iraq look after it’s own people? Why is it Europes problem.
