One article from bbc news talks about how the neighbouring EU countries are having crisis becuase of the refugees. It shows how each country has dealt/ is dealing with the amount of migrants and refugees coming over.

Another article from the daily mail real story in which why people are wanting to move away from there home countries. This article goes into more depth about the refugees and gives better facts and statistics about the situation.

Both of these articles include how the refugees want to get out of there own country and flee to another and say the struggles and difficulties along the line. BBC news says how the countries police have treated the refugees by 'pepper spraying' and 'firing tear gas' at the border. The Daily Mail tells the story of  how the refugees have gotten over boarders and is dealing with the police. Both articles include how the police are dealing with the situation but differently. Both articles include facts and statistics of how many people have died and when people starting leaving there country.

The differences in these articles is that the BBC tells us what each country is doing towards the migrants and how they are trying to identify each individual before they cross the boarder. The Daily Mail tells us the same but how the UK isent really contributing for help. David Cameron instead didnt agree to take in anyone to the country that has already been to another country and are only genuine Syrians. The BBC only focus on how people are getting round to each of the countries rather than saying how each migrant is settling in or getting help from that one place.
