Migrant crisis: EU-Turkey deal comes into effect

An EU-Turkey deal to tackle the migrant crisis has formally come into effect. Under the deal, migrants arriving in Greece are now expected to be sent back to Turkey if they do not apply for asylum or their claim is rejected. It was reported that there were still many doubts about the implementation of the agreement, including how the migrants would be sent back.

Meanwhile, just hours before the agreement came into force, a four-month-old baby girl drowned when a boat carrying migrants sank off the Turkish coast.
