Protesters have been gathering in Brussels outside an emergency summit of European Union leaders to demonstrate against the EU's handling of the migrant crisis crossing the Mediterranean.

Ska Keller, Green Member of the European Parliament says leaked plans from the summit are not going in the right direction.
