Migration in Europe

The EU's foreign affairs chief has warned that if political infighting in Washington undermines US support for Ukraine, Europe will not be able to fill the gap. We also talk about solutions to tackle irregular migration that the summit is expected to discuss. Our diplomatic correspondent joins from the summit.

We also hear from people in the countries where many people are attempting to leave and find a better life in Europe. Our population correspondent joins to explain.

We bring together two Syrians from the southern city of Sweida where people have been protesting against poor living conditions and rising cost of living.

A global gathering of Catholic bishops and laypeople is underway at the Vatican discussing the future of the church, where women, their voices and their votes, are taking center stage for the first time. We bring together two Catholic women to discuss what they are expecting from the gathering.

Presenter: Lukwesa Burak.
