CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: It's a staggering figure. The number of refugees and migrants reaching Europe by land and sea has now passed 1 million. Last year, just 219,000 refugees crossed the Mediterranean Sea to Europe. Now we're learning President Obama will host world leaders at a summit on the global refugee crisis at the United Nations next year. Diana Magnay is watching this for us. Hi Diana.</s>DIANA MAGNAY, FREELANCE JOURNALIST: Hi Carol. Well, you're right. One million is a huge number. Half of them are refugees from Syria but around 20 percent come from Afghanistan, 7 percent from Iraq, and then many also from persecution and poverty, fleeing persecution and poverty in Africa. The majority have come through to Greece, and just to give you an idea of the numbers, 4,300 arrived today. Over the course of this year, some 4,000 have lost their lives crossing the Mediterranean, which makes it the deadliest route on the planet. And it's a real test case for Europe. So far Europe has not been able to pull together a coordinated strategy. And in fact, it's a real test for the sort of liberal, democratic values that Europe is supposed to stand for, as right wing politicians start to capitalize on this crisis and push anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim sentiment. But of course when you compare the 1 million coming into Europe, it doesn't really compare to the numbers that are in Turkey -- 2.3 million Syrian refugees in Turkey. Lebanon has something like 1 million. Jordan has 600,000. So this is a global problem. That is why the U.S. president will be hosting a summit of global leaders at the U.N. next year which will be on the refugee crisis to see how the world can handle this problem. Because the UNHCR says that this year there will be 60 million displaced. That's one in every 122 people this year forced to flee from their homes.

Still to come in the NEWSROOM, the Mall of America going to court to prevent another protest like this from Black Lives Matter. Supposed to happen tomorrow. Will it?
