The Greek island where the migrants stopped coming

New rules to discourage migrants and refugees from leaving Turkey for Greece have come into effect, part of a deal between Turkey and the European Union. It means migrants can now be sent back to Turkey if their asylum claims are rejected. Anja Borojevic, a volunteer on the Greek island of Leros, tells us it may be one of the reasons why there have been no arrivals of migrants to the island in days.
