> Moroccan police detained dozens of people attempting to cross into Spain’s North African exclave of Ceuta. The move followed a surge of around 72,000 migrants into Ceuta two weeks earlier, while social-media calls for another mass crossing circulated this week. Sources gave differing figures, saying more than 100 or 294 people were detained.
