here's the bbc�*s nick beake, who is on the border., we watched dozens of reinforcements raced to this area. poland already has a force of 12,000 guarding its eastern border and is keeping aid agencies and journalists away. but we managed to make contact with some of those now trapped in the freezing forest. we feel so bad because nobody is helping us here, and we feel so hungry and thirsty. no water, no food, no help... like most here, aziz is kurdish and from iraq. that's all poland police. they don't let us get inside. a big tension in here. and so many families and little children arrived here. but getting nearer to where this crisis erupted is not possible as we soon found out. can we go further in, are we allowed to go further towards the border today7 no, no. poland, like neighbouring lithuania, has declared a state of emergency. this is as close as we can get to the poland — belarus border today. because beyond this checkpoint lies a part of the european union that the polish authorities do not want us to see for ourselves. the

the bbc�*s nick beake is at the border. well, this is the main road to belarus.et to the border area and, crucially, aid agencies and charities cannot reach the people who are now trapped between poland and belarus. we think that may be up to 4000 people who have spent a second night in the forest in subzero conditions and, obviously, there are concerns about their welfare. we heard overnight that two groups of people were able to break through the fence and get into poland, get in to eu soil. we�*re not talking about hundreds of people, we think may be groups of dozens of people. that is even though there are now 15,000 polish troops and police guarding the border. both poland and belarus accuse each other of violence towards migrants. they�*ve been posting videos showing alleged mistreatment. in this video poland says a belarusian soldier fired a shot to intimidate migrants who were camped near the fence. you can hear gunfire. we should warn you that the pictures posted by belarus are more graphic. this video, taken by belarusian border guards, show injured mig

i don't know if you saw nick beake's report from dunkirk on the six and ten o'clock news where he spokesylum in another country. we don't know what the status of all those people who died on the boats were, but some may well have been seeking asylum, might�*ve had refugee status. so it wouldn't be accurate to describe them as illegal. how does the bbc decide which word to use? you know, there's the word "refugee", there's the term "asylum seeker", and then the term "migrant". how do you decide when to use which one? we used migrants in this case because, you know, often it's not clear the reasons why somebody is travelling. as i say, they could be seeking asylum, they may already have refugee status, they may be somebody who's on the move for a better life for themselves and their families. so i think it's about us being as accurate as we can. and as we get more information on people, we get more accurate, you know. so, in this case, we've talked furtherly about men, women, that pregnant woman on the boat, children, so as you get more information, you get names, you get back stories, an
