With scores of tents pitched close together on a muddy field and snaking queues of people waiting in line for food, you could be forgiven for thinking these aerial photos show a music festival in full swing. But, instead of showing the likes of Glastonbury, these bird's-eye view photographs actually show a makeshift migrant camp which has sprung up in the northern Greek village of Idomeni, near the Macedonian border. At least 10,000 men, women and children have been camped for days in the squalid conditions at the Idomeni border crossing, with hundreds more arriving every single day. The first two refugee camps are now so full that thousands have set up tents in fields nearby, living in appalling conditions. Hundreds have been seen queuing for hundreds of yards as they desperately wait to receive food distributed by a non-governmental organisation.
Paedophile pilot's victims to get cash payouts from British Airways: Predator unmasked by the Mail abused orphans during stopovers in Africa
The settlement comes two and a half years after the Daily Mail revealed how First Officer Simon Wood (pictured), 54, had molested scores of young girls on overseas stopovers in Africa. Wearing a bogus captain's uniform, the bachelor groomed victims with BA-branded toys and colouring books before subjecting them to horrific ordeals at five-star hotels used by the airline. Wood's 13-year campaign of terror ended when he was charged with separate child sex offences in the UK.

Couple lose £100k savings to their conwoman cousin: Relative spent money on hiring luxury cars, private school fees and foreign holidays while claiming she was setting up spa and make-up firm
Michelle Dougherty (pictured left), 37, faked documents to show her spa and make-up firm was prosperous and a good investment. In reality it was all an elaborate con she used to get £163,000 from her family members, including Sue and Simon Partridge (pictured right) who handed over £100,000. Dougherty was jailed for three years at Liverpool Crown Court after pleading guilty to fraud.

THE BATTLE FOR BRITAIN: IN OR OUT OF EUROPE
Dave and 'Le Grand Stitch-up': Project fear in overdrive as No10 is accused of recruiting France to scare us over Calais migrants
French economy minister Emmanuel Macron has claimed a Brexit would provoke France into tearing up the bilateral deal that sees thousands of migrants halted before they cross the Channel. Then, at a joint press conference with David Cameron, Francois Hollande warned Britain could face serious 'consequences' over immigration measures if it quit the EU. The threats prompted accusations of French arrogance - a report on their own economy shows that it is stuck in the doldrums, with its recovery lagging far behind the UK.
A cancer cure in just one jab? British scientists say they have found the disease's 'Achilles heel' paving the way for 'revolutionary' new treatments
Landmark work funded by Cancer Research UK has uncovered mutations that are found in every cancer cell raising hopes that the body's immune system could be trained to destroy them in what the charity say could prove 'a revolutionary way to treat or even cure' the disease. Trials on the first patients are expected within two years and the co-author of the study, Professor Charles Swanton, said: 'Do we think it's going to work? I hope this is going to result in improvements in survival outcomes. If this doesn't work I'll probably hang my up hat and do something else.'

Adam Johnson considering appealing against his conviction as he faces being locked up in the same jail as Huntley and Bellfield
The 28-year-old would need to prove to a panel of three top judges that his conviction is 'unsafe' for a reason such as inconsistency of verdicts, a misdirection of the jury or wrongly excluded evidence. Johnson's appeal would not however be heard until well after he has been sentenced later this month, when he is expected to be given a lengthy jail term. It is thought he will first be sent HMP Leeds in Armley before being moved on to HMP Frankland, near Durham, home to some of the UK's most notorious criminals. Johnson, who is on bail awaiting sentence, stayed in his sprawling home today. His father, Dave (right), was seen leaving the house.

Parents get a criminal record after taking their son, 13, on an annual pilgrimage to an educational WWII re-enactment in Holland during term time
Rachel Hughes and Andrew Lyons-Walker (left) were found guilty of failing to ensure 13-year-old son Ben Pietersma attended school regularly at Blackpool Magistrates Court today. The couple took Year Nine pupil Ben (top right) out of lessons at Baines High School in Poulton-Le-Fyde, Lancashire, last year to attend a re-enactment of the Battle of Arnhem. Mr Lyons-Walker's grandfather, Corporal John Simpson Atkinson (bottom right) fought in the battle. But the couple, from Thornton-Cleveleys, Lancashire, were slapped with a £120 fine for Ben's five-day unauthorised absence and were subsequently prosecuted by Lancashire County Council.
Couple accused of stamping 21-month-old daughter to death 'left her with such serious injuries she resembled a car crash victim'
Kathryn Smith, 23, and former partner Matthew Rigby, 22, are accused of killing Ayeeshia Jane Smith by stamping her to death, causing a heart laceration that triggered a cardiac arrest. The toddler died from a cardiac arrest triggered by a laceration to the heart which 'could have been the result of stamping', the jury was told. The pathologist who conducted the post-mortem revealed her wounds were so severe they looked like those sustained in major road accidents.
Danniella Westbrook's ex-fiance is slapped with a restraining order after harassing her in a pub and telling her 'you'll be dead by Christmas'
Mixed martial arts fighter Tom Richards, 26, (pictured right outside court today) of Pembrokeshire, west Wales, approached the actress, 42, at the Station House pub (inset) in Chingford, east London, on 14 October last year. He demanded to know who Ms Westbrook (left) was with and launched into a foul-mouthed tirade before both she and the landlady asked him to leave. Her former toyboy labelled the reality star a 'slag' and then mocked her lifestyle, telling her: 'You'll be dead by Christmas.'
Hambros banking heir's plan to connect his two multi-million pound properties with a 'super-basement' are thrown out because of the threat to two trees in his back garden
James 'Jamie' Hambro (right inset), 66, wanted to connect his four-storey terraced house (right) in Chelsea, West London, to a small mews property behind (left). The connecting basement was due to have a kitchen, bedroom, en suite bathroom and entertainment space. But the local council halted the proposal, with their reasons including the threat to two trees in the back garden as significant factors. The trees in question are a 6.5ft-high purple Japanese maple and a 16ft-high evergreen magnolia. The plans from Mr Hambro (left inset) showed the basement running just 3ft beneath the connecting garden, allowing no space for larger trees. Council planning director Graham Stallwood said a 'continuous area of unexcavated garden with the adjacent properties' had not been left.
Britain's naughtiest pets: How cats and dogs cause £4BILLION worth of damage to our homes every year
As the Britain's Naughtiest Pet finalists were revealed, the poll found the cats of one in 20 owners have caused at least £1,000 of damage. Meanwhile 69 per cent of owners said that cats have cost them more than £200 in repairs, compared to just 35 per cent of dog owners. The winner of the competition sponsored by Terrys Fabrics was Molly, owned by Paula Sharp, 47, from Choppington in Northumberland. The cat has racked up a repair bill of more than £2,000 despite being just nine months old, but her antics have now won her owner £500. A runner-up prize was handed to devious Rolo the miniature dachshund and his owner Kelly Mobbs, 35, from Leicester.

THE WORLD AT A GLANCE
Touching or creepy? Artist creates sculpture of that harrowing image of tragic migrant child Aylan Kurdi lying dead in the sand
A Finnish sculptor has recreated the haunting moment Syrian refugee Aylan Kurdi (top right), then three, washed up on a Turkish beach. The sculpture (pictured) entitled 'Until the Sea Shall Him Free', created by Pekka Jylhä, is on display at the Helsinki Contemporary gallery in Finland. The photo of little Aylan taken in September - his red shirt bunched up over his waste - inspired an outpouring of sympathy for the refugees fleeing the bloodbath of Syria. Aylan's brother Galip and mother Rihan were among the five victims who drowned when their boat capsized on the ill-fated journey from Bodrum, Turkey, to the Greek island of Kos.

Shocking new ISIS video shows an orphanage full of children whose jihadi parents have been killed being trained as the next generation of fighters
The three-minute clip, which appears to have been professionally shot in Syria and has been called 'Caring for Orphans within the Islamic State' by the terror group, initially starts by showing the orphans playing with toys - including toy guns (inset) - and being fed. But, in a sinister twist, it also cuts to images of the black-and-white ISIS flag as well as showing a group of young boys being forced to carry out 'Army' exercises on a dusty concrete square. An older boy can be seen forcing them to run around the edge of the area, before making them stand in stress positions (left) and complete a number of push-ups (right).
