rfi.my/Cw9u "We all agreed that the Schengen zone was never in the least danger," the Spanish Interior Minister said, adding that "there was no possibility of any secondary movement" of migrants from Ceuta to continental Europe.

Wildfires are raging in the United States on the outskirts of Spokane, Washington, have destroyed at least 700 buildings and forced tens of thousands of people to flee their homes, officials said.

Why was the migrant incursion at Ceuta such a big story across the world? How did it pique the interest of NBC’s Nightly News, not a programme massively predisposed to spotlighting news stories from continental Africa? What made it a front-page story in the Daily Mail and the Daily Telegraph?
