View from the border: Germany tightens checks at all land crossings

Telegraph’s Berlin correspondent James Rothwell speaks from the German Polish border as Germany tightens border checks across all land crossings. The restrictions are part of a series of measures Germany has taken to toughen its stance on irregular migration following a surge in arrivals and terror attacks. The checks apply to Germany’s land borders with France, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Denmark for an initial six months, marking a further setback to free movement within the European Union. #germany #border #checks
