Crossings into Spain’s Ceuta expose EU divisions on migration

from The World | YouTube · host PRX

The EU is scrambling to contain the political fallout after more than 70,000 migrants crossed into the Spanish territory of Ceuta from Morocco last Friday. Most have since returned home, but the critical response from several EU countries has laid bare divisions over the bloc's migration policy. Also, in India’s capital, public health experts are scrambling to offer protection for citizens against the deadly impact of severe heat. And, cadmium, a heavy metal linked to cancers and other diseases, is worrying French consumers — who, on average show, show levels in their bodies three to four times higher than the European average. Plus, a conversation with pioneering marine scientist Sylvia Earle as she reflects on decades spent under the sea.Photo credit: Marius Burgelman/AP
