The number of migrants making the sea crossing from North Africa
to southern Europe has fallen dramatically in the last two years;
tragically, the number of deaths hasn’t declined as fast.
Humanitarian activists blame the anti-migration policies of EU
member states. Stephen Sackur speaks to Carola Rackete, who
defied the Italian authorities to land the rescue-ship Sea Watch
3 in Sicily with 50 migrants on board. To some, she’s a
humanitarian hero; but will her actions merely encourage more
people smuggling and more suffering?
