Today's Video Focus: Migrants are a big issue in Matteo Salvini's Italy and could be a decisive factor in the next election - whenever it comes. The busiest frontline of migration has traditionally been around the island of Sicily, a popular tourist destination with a famously shady past and a convenient geography for the people traffickers.

Our investigation has been out on the streets of Palermo and talking to those who have escaped the traffickers.
