What is behind Italy's policy?

Mr. Salvini has spearheaded his country's hard-line stance toward migration. He accuses humanitarian groups operating in the Mediterranean 

of encouraging North African smuggling routes.

Last month, new laws passed by his government by emergency decree created fines of up to €50,000 for vessels that sail to Italian ports 

without permission.

What happened with the latest ship?

The Maltese announcement came hours after the crew of the Alan Kurdi said three migrants on board had collapsed and were in need of urgent 

medical assistance.

The German-flagged vessel, operated by charity Sea-Eye and named after a dead Syrian toddler who became a poignant image of the plight of 

refugees at sea made for Malta on Saturday after being denied permission to dock in Italy.
