Migrant crisis deepens as Poland blames Russia for thousands on its border - BBC News The migrant crisis on the border between Poland and Belarus is deepening, with the Polish prime minister accusing Russian President Putin of "masterminding" the impasse. The European Union has threatened to impose new sanctions on Belarus for allegedly sending migrants from the Middle East across its borders into the European Union.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has appealed to Russian President Putin, an ally of Belarus, to stop what she calls the inhumane exploitation of migrants. New species of dinosaur with ‘unusually large nose’ discovered - BBC News A new species of dinosaur with a big nose has been discovered on the British Isle of Wight. Retired doctor Jeremy Lockwood wants to prove that the two most common dinosaurs on the island aren't the only ones that have been there. He goes through the old dinosaur bone storage box and when he puts the skulls together, realizes that they belong to a completely new species - brightstoneus simmondsi. Dr Lockwood was so sure that there was another species of dinosaur, he decided to search through the Natural History Museum's massive collection of fossils to see what he could find. He explained, "I've seen dinosaur bones that are reportedly from the same species, but I've been baffled as to why they would look so different." After four years of searching through lots of boxes of bones, Dr Lockwood was able to reconstruct the skull of a dinosaur that had been in storage since 1978. But there was something different about this reconstructed skull that made it stand out from the other fossils in the archive.
