A protest is taking place outside the French Embassy in London after a large convoy of supplies for refugees in Calais was denied entry at Dover.

French authorities refused to allow the 250 vehicles to enter their country.

Willem Marx, who's at the demo, has more details on why the action was taken.

Earlier this week, a medical aid charity says it is going to reject all funding from the European Union.

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) says it is in protest at the EU's deal with Turkey to reduce the number of migrants heading to Europe.

The organisation believes rewarding the country for stopping illegal migration through its territory goes against the principle of helping people in need.

The decision means they will lose out on around €55 million.
