At least 67 migrants died this week making the crossing from Morocco to Ceuta, the Spanish exclave on the north-western tip of Africa. The world was shocked by images of an estimated 60,000 people breaching the border with the Spanish territory, and it has sparked a lot of political comment and activity, right around the world.

Joining Pat to tell us more is Europe correspondent for Euronews, shona Murray.
