Sweden imposes border restrictions on refugees

Temporary border controls begin in Sweden today to help stem the flow of refugees.

The restrictions will begin at midday and last for the next 10 days.

The Swedish Interior Minister has denied they are trying to limit the number of asylum seekers, and claims they just want to get better control of the problem.

Elsewhere, Slovenia has begun building a razor-wire fence along its border with Croatia.

The developments coincide with the final day of a migration summit of European and African leaders.

The meeting in the Maltese capital Valletta has already seen the setting up a €1.8bn trust fund for Africa to tackle the root causes of poverty and security that are forcing people to flee.
