It is no longer possible for Western countries to isolate themselves from events such as the refugee crisis in the Middle East, says Julia Gillard.

The former Australian prime minister, now head of an international education fund, says the "repercussions" will affect all countries.

Ms Gillard says the global community needs to support efforts to provide education for displaced young people.

Education for refugees provided support "in the depths of crisis", she said.

Ms Gillard, speaking to the BBC in London, warned that every country, on grounds of both morality and self-interest, should support the education of young people caught up in conflict.
