Migrants in Lesbos

The World

Some of the migrants and refugees to arrive most recently on the Greek island of Lesbos are staying in tents near a beach. They’re not being allowed to apply for asylum right now. We meet one young man from Syria named Ali. He tells The World’s Lydia Emmanouilidou that he’s not giving up his dream of living in Europe.
