The Italian government has declared a state of emergency over immigration. The move comes on the same day as a planned meeting between the French and Italian governments.
The French government says it wants to work with the Italian government to solve the problem. The Italian government says the move is not in the best interests of the country and will not allow it to be used as a tool for political gain by the far right. The U.S. government has called on the U.N. to step in and stop the flow of migrants into Italy.
