> Spain has warned Italy that it will introduce entry checks for visitors if Rome does not end its controls by Sunday. The dispute followed a rush at the Ceuta border. Although Spain and Italy do not share a land frontier, the border episode has led to a diplomatic spat. Madrid’s threatened measures are presented as a reciprocal response to Italy’s checks.
