What Happened to Europe’s Migrant Crisis?

The Inquiry

Available for over a year

Back in 2015 our radios and TV bulletins were full of stories of people trying to get to Europe. We saw distressing pictures as boats sank and lives were lost. Huge numbers of men, women and children tried to make their way by road, rail and foot to Hungary, Germany and beyond. There was anguish and fear in EU capitals. Now the story has slipped from the front pages. We find out what happened next. (Photo: Syrian refugees sit aboard a dinghy heading to the island of Lesbos early on June 18, 2015.
