> Italy’s far-right government will extend its suspension of Schengen free movement with Spain for at least another 15 days, citing the continued presence of the factors behind the measure. Spain has reportedly extended controls on passengers from Italy in an apparent tit-for-tat response. The dispute follows a migrant influx into Ceuta that triggered a wider EU migration crisis.
