'Now', Ep. 1: The Crisis of European Immigration

In this first podcast for the Now podcast series for Global Summitry, senior editor Alan Alexandroff introduces Sara Mojtehedzadeh. Sara is currently working with the Toronto Star but has done stints at Sky News in Europe and the BBC World Service. While at the BBC, as you will hear, Sara examined the early migration flood from the Middle East and Africa. In this latest podcast she examines the growing crisis of immigration. Thousands of asylum seekers, refugees and economic immigrants are flooding into Europe with the hope of reaching the key European Union countries, especially Germany. Like the Greek debt crisis, the immigration crisis raises serious questions of the ability of the 28-member country union to act in unison and respond collectively to a policy crisis.
