Europe wildfires latest: France faces 'most difficult situation since Second World War' warns Macron

Emmanuel Macron, the French president, warns tomorrow will be 'more complicated', as fire clouds loom and the threat to Bordeaux remains. Fires in France and Spain have forced the evacuation of more than 360,000 people. Follow the latest.

that'll ratchet up the global warming jargon. it sure did out here in 2016, we had unheard of firestorms that took out hundreds of thousands of structures and killed hundreds of people.

but that didn't continue as forecasted by the environmentalists, last summer was the coldest summer we've had since the 60s. the only real world correlation that exists is the one they're pushing for you to believe. they called last summer an anomaly but wouldn't dare call 2016 an anomaly for obvious reasons, unless you're RACIST!

Report: Italy considers suspending Schengen Agreement with Spain after thousands infiltrate from Morocco

Italy's government is considering suspending the European Union's Schengen Agreement with Spain, which allows free movement between countries, following the infiltration of thousands of migrants from Morocco into Ceuta, a Spanish enclave in North Africa. Sources in Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's office told Reuters. Thousands of migrants stormed the border fence between Morocco and Ceuta earlier and crossed over. Following the events, the head of the regional government in Ceuta called on the government in Madrid to declare a national state of emergency and send military forces to the area.

Something is missing from this story. I don't understand why Italy is protesting something happening on Spanish soil
 
The story makes no sense. There has to be a missing detail.
pretty sure Italian politicians hate the spain government.
If my low knowlegde of europian politics isn't to far of, the prime minister of Italy is right leaning and Spain seems pretty lefty atm.

You're correct about their politics but don't know what are the actual relations between them

Why? overreaction / hyperbole maybe but might be intentional to make Spain do something about allowing all those migrants (that's not something that just happened in a vacuum) that's probably leading to some of them easily access Italy

The Attack from Italy: "Spain Is Encouraging Human Trafficking"

The scenes of mass migrants breaching the border from Morocco into Ceuta come at a particularly sensitive political moment. This unfolds against the backdrop of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s plan to legalize the status of hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrants already in the country, thereby enabling them to work legally. Sánchez’s government announced the initiative in April, and last month he declared that over one million undocumented migrants had registered for it. Most are expected to meet the criteria and receive the coveted authorization.

"I support closing the Schengen Area to Spain," Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, a senior member of Giorgia Meloni’s right-wing government, wrote this evening on X, emphasizing his condemnation of "irregular and uncontrolled migration." In his post, the minister launched an attack: "The images coming from Ceuta show how the Madrid government's decision to grant Spanish—and therefore European—citizenship to more than 500,000 illegal migrants is encouraging human trafficking." He was referring to the fact that many of those crossing into Europe reach the border with the help of human traffickers and smugglers who charge exorbitant fees and frequently subject them to severe abuse.

Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini also took to X, calling to suspend the Schengen Agreement and "protect Europe’s borders." Virtually at the same time, sources in Prime Minister Meloni’s office told Reuters that Italy is indeed considering suspending the Schengen Agreement with Spain in light of the migrant crisis in Ceuta.

bc from Spain the will go north and into France, likely uncontested. from France they can enter Italy. or they could go from France to Switzerland then enter north Italy from southern Switz.
