Like every day, the franceinfo evening news takes a tour of the news broadcast by European television channels. It’s Eurozapping on Friday 12 May.

New train strike in Great Britain. For the seventh time in four months, the railway workers demonstrate. They demand wage increases to compensate for inflation. A two-day movement on the eve of the Eurovision final in Liverpool. The situation is still deadlocked. In Switzerland, the 85 inhabitants of Brienz, a small village, had to pack up in the face of the threat of the mountain collapsing right next to it.

A drop in prices for smugglers

In Italy, crossings of the Mediterranean have never summer so many. Three times more since the beginning of the year, according to the border police. More than 42,000 people joined the European Union by this route, mainly in arriving from Tunisia. The smugglers use smaller boats and they have lowered the prices, around 400 to 500 euros per passenger, but they make up for it by increasing the number of crossings.
