As Europe's political landscape undergoes a contentious evolution, caught in the crosshairs are a continually steady number of asylum-seeking migrants from Africa and the Middle East.
Italy's recent refusal to welcome hundreds of migrants aboard the vessel Aquarius — later rescued by Spain and France — caused a rift between the newly populist government and Europe's standards of human rights, such as Germany and France.
But German Chancellor Angela Merkel no longer seems to be the European standard-bearer she once was, as Germany is like many European nations seeing a growing number of right-wing, anti-migration populists gaining foothold in government. New Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte is one of many who have gained political foothold in Europe with an anti-migrant message.
Tim Marshall, from The National's London bureau, comments on the migrant crisis facing an ever-changing Europe in his latest Sightline video. Watch above.

Real estate tokenisation project
Dubai launched the pilot phase of its real estate tokenisation project last month.
The initiative focuses on converting real estate assets into digital tokens recorded on blockchain technology and helps in streamlining the process of buying, selling and investing, the Dubai Land Department said.
Dubai’s real estate tokenisation market is projected to reach Dh60 billion ($16.33 billion) by 2033, representing 7 per cent of the emirate’s total property transactions, according to the DLD.
