“new service. Local authorities estimate more than 60,000 people swim from nearby Morocco”
in the last 24 hours alone, and that at least 57 people died, some by drowning others in a stampede to cross a breakwater barrier near a border checkpoint, more from Terry Schultz. Spanish authorities say they've turned back roughly half the people who arrived in the tiny Spanish town of Siuta by land or sea from Morocco. European Commission Chief, or Slavunderline, says she's assigned officials to help Spain manage the situation
in assisting the crossings must stop immediately, and that smuggling networks must be dismantled. She underscores that people entering the block must be returned quickly. Several EU governments have called for the suspension of Spanish participation in the passport-free shengen system, so that the migrants cannot travel on into other countries. The Italian government says it's temporarily closed its air and sea borders with Spain, and France announced it
will step up controls at the Spanish border. For imperial news, I'm Terry Schultz and Brussels. Hamas denies it agreed to a deal with President Trump's board of peace to completely disarm. The Palestinian militant group in Gaza is pushing back after Trump announced there was a deal for Hamas disarmament and a simultaneous withdrawal of Israeli forces, and PR's Franco Ordonias has the latest.
The problem seems to be a disagreement over what comes first, whether it's Israel pulling

Abdul Osayed are in a fierce battle for the Democratic Senate nomination mirroring national divisions in the party, and Piersam Gringlass has more. Air Force veteran Joel Rotheford worries the primary is tearing Democrats apart.
“You have candidates that are very different, and I think what happens is, this passion”
has just become so big."
Rotheford is supporting Al-Sayed, and thinks about his choice this way.
"We're not going to get everything we want, but we have to at least try." The pro-Israel Lobbing Group A-Pak is also spending millions to boost Stevens and oppose Al-Sayed, who supports ending military aid Israel and has made calling out corporate money and politics a key message. Alan Wolff says he believes Stevens is the one who can beat Republican Mike Rogers this
fall. "You cannot win in Michigan without being able to sway in the penance. Haley is a fairly middle of the road candidate who can actually do that." Sam Gringlass and PR News Metro Detroit. This is NPR.

Cubans fleeing the island's economic crisis are seeking new destinations after the Trump administration cut off permissions to enter the United States. Catherine Osborne reports many are looking south to Brazil. More than 41,000 Cubans saw asylum in Brazil last year. That's a record.
And this year is on track for similar numbers. 57-year-old Jose Ramirez fled Cuba for Brazil in February, crossing the Amazon. He said many Latin American countries are tightening borders like the U.S. "The possibility that they will pay for that." But Brazil gives asylum seekers work permission and access to social services.
Anti-migrant sentiment doesn't dominate local politics, says a worker "Ladie Sajachitana." "It's because we don't have a large percentage of migrants in Brazil." Now many in Brazil's small immigrant population are Cubans. For NPR news, I'm Catherine Osborne in Rio de Janeiro.
