Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is in Italy, which has seen a big fall in the number of migrants arrivals. The country has done a deal with neighbouring Albania that will process asylum seekers that arrive on Italian shores. Some say the government needs a similar scheme to deter smuggling gangs. Others are calling for the opening of safe asylum routes. 5 Live listeners got in touch to share their thoughts.
