EU home affairs commissioner Ylva Johansson and Spanish home affairs minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska visit Gran Canaria as the number of migrants arriving in Spain's Canary Islands this year has reached a new record this year. Between 1 January and 15 November, 32,436 migrants reached the Canaries after making the perilous crossing from Africa. This is the highest number of migrant arrivals since 2006 when 31,678 migrants reached the seven-island archipelago, according to an interior ministry report. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
