EU-Turkey tensions threaten complex migrant crisis deal

Tensions between EU countries and Turkey threatened to unwind a complex deal to resolve the migrant crisis during long negotiations at a summit of EU leaders.

Several countries fear that an agreement to send refugees back to Turkey is not legal under international law.

Lawyers for the EU institutions however were insisting it is legal as every person applying for international protection would have their case considered in the normal way and would be able to appeal any decision.
