UN Under Secretary Calls For Action On Migrants

Just because the spotlight is now on desperate people hiking down railway lines and making risky border crossings in the dead of night, that doesn't mean that other desperate people aren't still making the dangerous journey from North Africa to southern Europe by sea. Philippe Douste-Blazy is a former French Foreign Minister - he's now UN Under-Secretary-General on the EU Migrant Crisis. He has some radical ideas about how to solve the mass migration issue at source - and he's just spent ten days on the Italian island of Lampedusa, watching the Italian Navy save lives at sea.
