Emergency EU talks after mass migrant influx

Newshour

Available for 23 days

The European Union will hold emergency talks this week to discuss the migration crisis in Ceuta - a tiny city which belongs to Spain, located on the northern coast of North Africa. We'll hear from a nurse who tried to save people who crossed the border and entered. Also in the programme: Three people dead in Moscow after an attack on one of the city's more exclusive restaurants; and scientists find evidence that Ice Age hunters targeted female woolly mammoths more than males.
