Making sense of the world, one story at a time. Host Malika Bilal and journalists from Al Jazeera's international bureaus share their take on the news every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Turkey has encouraged refugees to leave. But those who want to can't find their way out. Tens of thousands are trying to reach Europe, only to be met with Greece's closed border and clouds of tear gas. Refugees who have made it across Turkey's borders are facing arrest and sporadic violence. The Take brings you stories of refugees in limbo, trying to find their way to a new home.
In this episode: Natasha Ghoneim (@natashaghoneim), Al Jazeera journalist reporting from Edirne, Turkey, near the border with Greece. Franziska Grillmeier (@FranziEire), freelancer reporting from Lesbos, Greece.
