After years of bickering and gridlock, EU countries have finally agreed on a major migration deal that could overhaul the EU’s asylum system.

Efi Koutsokosta, the EU Correspondent for Euronews and Skai TV, joins Thanos Davelis with the latest analysis from Brussels as we break down what was agreed, what this deal will mean for frontline states like Greece, and what we should expect over the next months as the deal is finalized.
