VIDEO: Emergency meeting on migrant crisis reveals EU divisions

There was a rally in favour of helping the waves of migrants and refugees arriving in Europe in Brussels on Monday as EU Interior Ministers held an emergency meeting.

But there was little urgency revealed in the final communique; in fact, a hardening of positions under pressure from member states who don’t want any migrants on their soil.

“But for our proposal on 120,000 we did not have the agreement that we wanted. The majority of the member states are ready to move on, but not all,” announced the EU’s Migration Commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos.
