MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The body of a newborn baby has been recovered from a boat carrying migrants during a rescue operation off the Italian island of Lampedusa.
European Commission head Ursula von der Leyen is due to visit the island on Sunday after Italy asked for EU help.
Italian newspaper Corriere Del Mezzogiorno reports the mother was helped by companions on the small boat after she started having contractions.
Earlier this week a five-month-old baby boy drowned during a rescue operation off the same island, after a boat carrying migrants across the sea from north Africa capsized.
Ms Meloni is pushing for a European Union naval blockade to prevent boats from crossing the Mediterranean to reach Italian shores.
The surge in arrivals led to protests by Lampedusa's residents on Saturday who demonstrated against plans to build a new tent camp to host the migrants.
