First Migrants From Aquarius Ship Disembark In Spain

BBC World Service - Weekend, First Migrants From Aquarius Ship Disembark In Spain

After being refused entry by Italy and Malta the first group of migrants arrive on land

Hundreds of police, health officials and translators were on standby to help as they disembarked. Two more ships carrying migrants are due to arrive later. Their plight has sparked a row between European Union member states over who should accept them. Also on the programme the Afghan government has called on the Taliban to extend their truce. What does this mean for the future of Afghanistan? And fathers all around the world talk about how they plan to spend Father's Day.
