Bulgaria has been accused of shooting a refugee after new video emerged showing a young Syrian man being fired at on the border with Turkey.

It is the first footage of an asylum seeker being hit with live ammunition on the EU border.

It follows a joint investigation by Sky News, Lighthouse Reports and European media partners.
