MPs discuss EU-Turkey migrants deal

EU leaders met with Turkey at the weekend and have agreed a deal to try and stem the flow of migrants travelling through the country and into Europe.

Turkey has agreed to tighten its border and reduce the number of people leaving its shores and heading to Greece in return for aid money to help Syrian refugees in Turkey and political concessions.

Under the deal, Turkish citizens will be able to travel without visas in Europe's Schengen zone within a year, as long as certain conditions are met.

UKIP's Douglas Carswell and Green MP Caroline Lucas discuss.
