Deaths from small boats crossing Mediterranean rises

BBC World Service - Newsday, Deaths from small boats crossing Mediterranean rises

More than 1,800 people have died so far this year after setting off from North Africa

More than 1,800 people have lost their lives so far this year in the crossings from North Africa to Europe.

Another 41 lives lost in the Mediterranean after a shipwreck off the Italian island of Lampedusa - we head to Sfax in Tunisia, from where the migrants set sail,  and to Lampedusa to find out more about the people who died. 

We go to Ecuador where Presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio has been assassinated. 

And how Croatia is turning to foreign labour to work in its large tourist sector.
