Police in Macedonia have fired tear gas at a crowd of migrants who used a makeshift battering ram in an attempt to break through a fence on the Greek border. Some 7,000 people remain stuck on the Greek side of the Macedonian border, and have been camping in squalid conditions for more than a week waiting in vain to be allowed to cross.
