Migrant crisis: Migration to Europe explained in seven charts 歐洲難民

More than a million migrants and refugees crossed into Europe in 2015, sparking a crisis as countries struggled to cope with the influx, and creating division in the EU over how best to deal with resettling people.

The vast majority arrived by sea but some migrants have made their way over land, principally via Turkey and Albania.

Winter has not stemmed the flow of people - with 135,711 people reaching Europe by sea since the start of 2016, according to the UNHCR.

Paris attacks

Paris attacks: 'I will not give you the gift of hating you'

The attacks were described by President Francois Hollande as an "act of war" organised by the Islamic State (IS) militant group.

Shootings and bomb blasts left 130 people dead and hundreds wounded, with more than 100 in a critical condition.

"Three co-ordinated teams" were believed to have been behind the attacks, according to Paris chief prosecutor Francois Molins.

In the days immediately after the attacks, French police carried out hundreds of raids across the country, as the search for suspects continued. Raids also took place in the Belgian city of Brussels.

This is how the attacks happened.

The first of three explosions occurred outside the Stade de France stadium on the northern fringe of Paris where France were playing Germany in an international football friendly.

A man wearing a suicide belt was reportedly prevented from entering the stadium after a routine security check detected the explosives. According to the Wall Street Journal, the man backed away from security guards and detonated the explosives.

The bomber and a passer-by were killed.

The game, attended by President Francois Hollande, was being broadcast on TV. After a second man detonated his suicide vest outside a different stadium entrance at 21:30, the president was rushed to safety.

A few minutes later, an attacker - later revealed to be Braham Abdeslam - killed himself by detonating a suicide bomb at the restaurant Le Comptoir Voltaire on the Boulevard Voltaire, the chief prosecutor said.

One other person was severely injured in this incident.

Aung San Suu Kyi

Aung San Suu Kyi hints at mass amnesty for political prisoners

Aung San Suu Kyi has vowed to press for the release of political prisoners and student activists in Myanmar, hinting that a mass amnesty may be imminent, a week after her government took power.

In her first statement since assuming a broadly defined role as state counsellor, Aung San Suu Kyi said: “I am going to try … for the immediate release of political prisoners, political activists and students facing trial related to politics.” She did not provide a specific timeline.

The routine jailing of dissidents by the former junta stirred international outcry and support for the pro-democracy movement. Aung San Suu Kyi herself spent 15 years under house arrest, and many current National League for Democracy MPs served time in prison.

The quasi-civilian government that replaced the junta in 2011 freed hundreds of political detainees but also oversaw the detention of scores of others, particularly activists involved in land and education protests.

According to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners, 90 political prisoners were in jail and more than 400 activists were facing trial as of February. The vast majority were arrested before last November’s elections, which Aung San Suu Kyi’s NLD won in a landslide.

Among those held are 40 students facing charges including unlawful assembly and rioting over education reform protests that were violently broken up by police in the central town of Letpadan in March 2015. Another 30 or so students are on bail but facing similar charges.

Aung San Suu Kyi is barred from the presidency by the junta-era constitution and has anointed her schoolfriend and close aide Htin Kyaw as president to act as her effective proxy. That means she does not have the direct power to order an amnesty.

The role of state counsellor allows her to liaise between the executive and legislative branches. The position was specially crafted for her by  and is expected to help her live up to a pre-election vow to rule above the president.
