Migrant crisis: UK to send ships to tackle people smugglers

The UK will provide "vital military assets" to help a Nato mission tackling people smugglers in the Aegean Sea, David Cameron has said. The PM said the amphibious landing ship RFA Mounts Bay would be sent, ahead of an emergency EU summit in Brussels. The ship, which carries a Wildcat helicopter, will be working alongside three UK Border Force boats. More than a million migrants entered the EU illegally by boat travelling mainly from Turkey to Greece last year. RFA Mounts Bay and two Border Force patrol boats, known as cutters, will join naval vessels from Germany, Canada, Turkey and Greece as part of Nato's first intervention in the migrant crisis. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-35742625
