Source excerpt
Spain will impose border controls on all air and sea travel from Italy as a row between the two EU countries intensifies.
The measures - coming into force at midnight (22:00 GMT) and lasting for a month - come a week after Italy introduced similar restrictions following an influx of about 78,000 migrants from Morocco into the Spanish exclave of Ceuta.
On Friday, Spain demanded Italy reverse its checks by Sunday.
Rome said they would stay until at least 15 August - when, according to it, Spain "expects a new wave of migration" to hit Ceuta.
