The Agenda

Despite Donald Trump's claim that "Europe is in serious trouble" over illegal immigration, UN data shows arrivals have actually fallen sharply. Yet migration remains one of Europe's most divisive issues, shaping politics, fuelling populism, and driving tough new border policies. 

On this edition of The Agenda, Juliet Mann explores whether Europe's approach to migration is working and if the continent is being fuelled by fear rather than facts with Heaven Crawley, Former Director of the Migration for Development and Equality Hub, Klaus Jurgens, Director of EconomyFirst and Dr Paolo Novak, Senior Lecturer in Development Studies and Co-Director of Centre for Migration and Diaspora Studies at SOAS.
