Over 800,000 new refugees expected to flee Ukraine this winter - UNICEF has warned - just as Rishi Sunak's government are said to be considering axing a UK scheme to house them.

UNICEF, which provides humanitarian and developmental aid to children worldwide, claimed desperate families will continue to leave in their thousands to the Russian invasion. 

The warning comes amid a £50 billion black hole found in Britain's finances that Sunak and Chancellor Jeremy Hunt are trying to fill.
