'A very European issue': What's behind Italy-France row over migrant sea rescue? • FRANCE 24

Tensions mounted between France and Italy on Wednesday over the fate of an NGO ship carrying 234 migrants rescued in the Mediterranean, with Paris calling the refusal by Italian authorities to let the vessel dock “unacceptable.” It was the latest European standoff over where to disembark migrants picked up after trying to reach Europe from North Africa, with Italy increasingly frustrated at taking in the bulk of those rescued. FRANCE 24’s Dave Keating explains why this is a “very European issue”.
