Handling of the crisis. The final day of campaigning before hotly anticipated elections in iran. Team are reporting from 10 on from tehran. First, then, the latest crack in the Free Movement arrangement here in europe. More than 250 Belgian Police officers have spent the day checking vehicles crossing between brands france and belgium. There are fears that migrants camped in calais could head across the border and mass en masse. Belgiums interior minister insisted the schengen Free Movement pack is, quote, not dead. Our reporter has been on the ground all day. I asked him earlier how many people have been crossed from blocking. In the past couple of minutes, we have witnessed a small influx. Police turned back 20 individuals that tried to cross the border. Earlier in the day, we were on board one of those buses when the police turned away about six individuals, very young individuals.

I think the fact that i was with white helped me to draw out their stories as well. Unfortunately, some of them are still segregationists and continue to believe the races should not mix. But i think the most powerful story that i came across was the story of the person who actually took the photograph.
