It's Monday, February 27th. They don't call them caravans in Europe, but they're every bit as risky.

Start here.

A boat full of migrants goes down off the coast of Italy.

Many of those on board just didn't know how to swim. Some of them were found clinging onto pieces of the boat.

Well, dozens of casualties now affect the migration debate in Europe. California, yes, that California, is walloped by its biggest snowstorm in decades.

This one is extremely powerful and unusual.

I'm not saying these policies are random or ill-willed, but it does create a stark national dialogue when something happens like what we saw in Italy this weekend.

Yesterday, we learned that a rickety boat carrying migrants across the Mediterranean had sunk under its own overloaded weight just off the Italian coastline.

Let's go straight to ABC Foreign Correspondent Lama Hassan, who's been reporting in all this. Lama, what do we know?
