African Refugees in Europe

Simon Cox investigates how the conflicts in Libya and Tunisia have sparked an immigration row in Europe which could threaten the EU's fundamental principle of open borders.

In the aftermath of the conflicts in North Africa a new wave of migrants is heading to Europe, but the 27 member states are divided over how to share the responsibility.

Simon Cox explores the growing dispute and asks whether it could result in changes to the EU's fundamental principle of open borders and how it deals with migration in the future.
