Mediterranean 'becoming a cemetery'

Malta's prime minister has said European waters close to Africa are turning into a cemetery, after another boat laden with migrants capsized. Joseph Muscat said Malta felt "abandoned" by the rest of Europe and urged the EU to take action. Malta and Italy launched a rescue operation after a boat capsized on Friday, killing at least 50 people. It happened 120km (70 miles) off Lampedusa, the Italian island where at least 300 migrants drowned last week.
