Hundreds of people gather in Athens to show their support for migrants and refugees on World Refugee Day, one of several events organised in the Greek capital to send a message of solidarity around the world. The policy of Greece's conservative government, which was voted in nearly a year ago, is to make the country a "less attractive" destination to migrants. There are around 120,000 of them in the country today. IMAGES

20th June marks 'World Refugee day' and what could be better for them than talking to relatives sitting far away from home. Thanks to volunteer service, the migrants of Calais get free WIFI.
Pilgrims gather in Lisbon for a huge open-air Mass with Pope Francis for World Youth Day. The service will take place at the Parque Tejo on the outskirts of the Portuguese capital, with many people having slept overnight in the park, which was built for the occasion on a former landfill site. The weather is a concern with temperatures expected to soar to 41 degrees Celsius (106 degrees Fahrenheit). IMAGES
