AMANPOUR: And finally tonight, as U.S. cabinet hearings and bombastic presidential press conferences suck up all the oxygen, we imagine the refugees left wheezing and shivering out in the cold. Across Europe those refugees are desperately trying to survive the winter. Look at that snow. Thousands trapped in the Serbian capital of Belgrade are blanketed with the white stuff and in sub-zero temperatures. As many as 2,000 refugees live in this direct warehouse just behind the main coast station. They are desperately lighting fires and sleeping crammed together on filthy mattresses to keep warm. The youngest migrant that CNN encountered there was 12 and alone with no gloves or scarf to ward off the constant cold. And on the island of Lesbos, Greece, an overcrowded and icy Moria refugee camp forced the Greek government to step in, sending a ship to serve as temporary accommodation for about 500 of them. But thousands of the others will remain stranded in the cold and the wet. Many, of course, are getting sick. And in Bulgaria, border police reported three deaths from the cold so far. It is a timely reminder of the human consequences of any government and anyone at the highest place of office. That's it for our program tonight.
