> Italy has extended its suspension of the EU’s border-free travel arrangements with Spain by another week, an Italian government source said Friday, citing a surge in migrant arrivals in Ceuta in late July. A Spanish government spokesperson said the two countries’ interior ministers would work over the coming week on lifting the controls.
