> Spain has introduced border controls covering all air and sea travel arriving from Italy. The decision comes amid an escalating diplomatic crisis between the two countries. Rome had already adopted similar measures after migrants from Morocco entered the Spanish territory of Ceuta in large numbers. The competing restrictions have deepened tensions over migration and border management.
