Just now.
In northern Greece.
Clashes are taking place between riot police and migrants and asylum seekers attempting to cross into North Macedonia from outside the Diavata reception camp near Thessaloniki.
Journalist Daphne Tolis has been live-streaming from the area on Facebook (above).
She has reported that the police have thrown stun grenades and tear gas at the crowds.
