A new law has been signed in Hungary to allow the detention of all asylum seekers - including 14 year old children and above.

New fences along the border with Serbia are also planned, to try and prevent a new wave of refugees.

How bad is the humanitarian crisis in Mosul? – Inside Story

A humanitarian crisis on the verge of stretching aid agencies to breaking point - that's how the UN coordinator in Iraq describes the situation in western Mosul.

Around 150,000 Iraqis have been forced from their homes during the last month of fighting, with more expected.

Many have found shelter in camps, which aid workers say are overwhelmed.

Iraqi forces are battling ISIL in western areas of Mosul.

ISIL fighters are resisting with car bombs, snipers and drones laden with grenades to slow the Iraqi army advance.

Western Mosul, which includes the Old City, is densely populated with civilians who are caught in the cross-fire.

Will Mosul's liberation end the plight of the displaced?
