Europe migrant crisis: Italy declares state of emergency amid numbers surge

Description

The migrant crisis is surging once again in Italy. 31 thousand people have either been rescued or landed on Italy's shores since the start of the year. That's four times more than the same period last year and the year before. The government in Rome has just declared a six-month state of emergency. And like many Italian prime ministers before her, Georgia Meloni has been unable to convince the rest of the EU to help. FRANCE 24's Seema Gupta is in Southern Italy. She tells us more on why the Italian government declared the state of emergency now.
