Greece: a boat loaded with migrants arrives on Lesbos island

Description

A boat loaded with migrants arrives on the coast of Lesbos after Turkish officials say Ankara will no longer prevent refugees from going to Europe. Thousands of migrants have flooded to Turkey's border with Greece in a bid to enter the EU after Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan threatened to open its frontier to Europe as tensions mount over its deepening conflict in Syria.
