Greece moves thousands of migrants from Idomeni camp

Thousands of stranded migrants are being evacuated from the makeshift Idomeni camp on Greece's northern border with Macedonia.

Most are being taken to specially designed processing facilities some 80km (50 miles) south, near Greece's second city, Thessaloniki.

Hundreds of riot police moved into the camp at dawn, but the authorities have stressed force will not be used.

The Greek-Macedonia border was closed in March. see more at: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-36358891
