European Union leaders are to meet in Malta to discuss how to stem the influx of migrants from North Africa and the Middle East.
The summit comes after Italian Prime Minister, Paolo Gentiloni, said he had reached a deal with Libya on how to stop migrants from setting sail for Europe and pledged more funds and training to Libya to tackle people smugglers.
The leaders of 28 EU member states will discuss the migrant crisis in Malta's capital Valletta later today.
The new plan is to deal with the issue at source by co-operating with the Libyan coastguard to shut down people smuggling routes.
