Migrant crisis: Norway begins deportations to Russia

Norway has sent 13 migrants back to Russia under new rules expected to see thousands deported by bus, reports say. About 5,500 people are due to be transported from Norway to Russia. Many crossed the Arctic border by bicycle as part of the influx of migrants to Europe in 2015. Norway announced in November it would immediately deport people who had arrived from a country deemed safe. The first bus left a refugee shelter in the town of Kirkenes earlier.
