You Can Take Stranded Migrants To Hollywood On Your Private Jet!' - Italy's Minister Tells Actor Richard Gere

Italy's Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini has issued a stunning rebuke to actor Richard Gere who criticised the country's refusal to let in more than 100 migrants stranded at sea.

Golden Globe winner Richard Gere visited a boat with 121 migrants on board in international waters near the Italian island of Lampedusa. 

Gere was pictured delivering food supplies to the migrants on board, who have been rescued by Spanish NGO Open Arms.
