Spain has begun installing a floating barrier close to its border with Morroco after thousands of migrants stormed into the enclave of ⁠Ceuta on Saturday. Lewis Goodall spoke to journalist Jonathan Gorvett on the latest. According to Spanish authorities, about 60,000 mainly young men had crossed into Ceuta by land and sea from Thursday in an unprecedented surge at one of the European Union's only land borders with Africa. More than 48,000 of them returned to Morocco within 48 hours, Spain said. In response to the mass rush that killed at least 67, police began installing a 500-metre (1,640-foot) floating barrier. Earlier today, Andy Burnham said he'd offered the Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez whatever help the UK could provide.
