First refugees cross Greece-Macedonia border after standoff

A trickle of refugees have been allowed to cross the border from Greece into Macedonia - the first for two days following clashes earlier this week.

Macedonia briefly opened the border crossing overnight, letting around 170 people cross, Greek Police said.

However some 10,000 people remain camped at the crossing, awaiting their turn.

It comes after clashes broke out on Monday as hundreds attempted to storm the border crossing.
