British Prime Minister David Cameron is setting out more detail to his plans to take in thousands of extra Syrian refugees.
The asylum seekers, however, will come from UN camps around Syria's borders - not from those people who have already arrived in Europe looking for refuge.
Mr Cameron's government also wants to extend British air strikes against the Islamic State into Syria - currently the UK is only engaged in military operation inside Iraq.
UK correspondent Olly Barratt is at Westminster - he says the Prime Minister has been under pressure from all sides over the issue.
