Tunisia-EU migration: 'How can I stay in a country without freedom?'
Italy continues to feel the consequences of the European migrant crisis as it's there that many people leaving countries in North Africa - or Turkey - try to gain entry to the continent.
Many people are losing their lives as the numbers attempting the dangerous Mediterranean crossing increase - in some cases the lives lost are in the hundreds.
Newsday's James Copnall has been talking to newly arrived migrants in southern Italy.
David, a Sierra Leonean, and Happiness from Nigeria met in Algeria and are now a couple with a baby daughter planning to get married. He was previously in Tunisia where he could not eat or sleep and where he wondered how “could he live without freedom”.
