Denmark Votes on New Migrant Law
Danish parliamentarians vote on law to confiscate migrants' valuable to fund benefits.
The Danish parliament is meeting to vote on proposals whether to confiscate valuables from refugees, in order to cover some of the costs of their upkeep. The new law would also increase the time asylum-seekers have to wait before they can be joined by their families outside Denmark. We go to Copenhagen for the details. Also on the programme: At least a dozen people are missing following a landslide at a jade mine in Myanmar, why Apple's iPhone sales could be in decline, and latest on the Lassa fever outbreak in Nigeria.
