> Pedro Sánchez says there is no intelligence indicating Moroccan authorities were involved in the late-July mass crossing into Ceuta, where about 70,000 people attempted to enter and as many as 141 may have died. Around 1,500 migrants remain, including 1,200 minors, while the crisis has fueled political tensions and clashes in the enclave.
