France to take in some migrants from Aquarius ship

Spain has said it has accepted an offer from France to take in some migrants and refugees from the Aquarius rescue ship, currently en route to Spain with more than 600 people on board.


"The French government will work together with the Spanish government to handle the arrival of the migrants," Spain's deputy prime minister Carmen Calvo said in a statement.

"France will accept migrants who express the wish to go there" once they have been processed in Valencia, the statement said.
