Migration was - once again - at the heart of discussions at the latest EU leaders summit, as the issue has been taking on new dimensions across the continent. This renewed focus on migration comes after the far-right made gains in the European Parliament, in various elections in Germany and Austria, and follows the opening of Italy's controversial offshore detention centers in Albania.

Angeliki Dimitriadi, the head of the migration program at ELIAMEP, joins Thanos Davelis to look into the latest breakthrough on a new EU migration deal, and explore what it means for frontline states like Greece and Cyprus. 

At least 78 people died and hundreds more are missing at sea, presumed dead, after a boat carrying migrants from Libya to Italy capsized in international waters south-west of Greece early on Wednesday.
