  "account": "Madrid. After reintroducing border controls for travelers from Italy, Spain has refused entry to ten people. This was announced by the Spanish Interior Ministry late on Saturday evening. According to the ministry, a total of 199 people were checked on twelve flights from Italy at the airports of Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Bilbao, Alicante and Valencia on the first day of the measure. On Friday, Spain announced that it would maintain controls on flights and ships from Italy until September 7. The government in Madrid is reacting to a similar move by Italy in a dispute over irregular immigration.\n\nRome, for its part, suspended Schengen rules for traveling without border controls with Spain on August 1 and plans to maintain controls at least until August 15. Italy cited the rush of 72,000 migrants to the Spanish North Africa exclave Ceuta on July 30. Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani expressed hope that the suspension could soon be lifted, \"as soon as there is no more danger\", he told the newspaper \"Corriere della Sera\".",
  "summary": "The dispute over illegal immigration continues. Spain and Italy are once again controlling their borders. Both governments justify the measures with security concerns.",
