Belarus is accused of giving tourist visas to refugees and migrants from Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria and then helping them cross the border into the bloc.

Could this standoff lead to a humanitarian crisis? Presenter: Mohammed Jamjoom Guests: Jaroslav Romanchuk - Presdent, Mises Scientific Research Centre and former Belarussian presidential candidate.
