MADRID (AP) — The Latest on migration into Europe (all times local): 10:15 p.m. Spain says Barcelona will be the docking port for an aid boat that rescued 60 migrants in waters near Libya but was not allowed to land by both Italy and Malta. A spokesman with the prime minister's office said the Open Arms boat, run under Spanish flag by the Barcelona-based aid group Proactiva Open Arms, had the right to dock in the eastern city. The spokesman, who wasn't authorized to be named in media reports, said it would take four days for the boat to reach Barcelona.
