Med migrants: Scuffles as Italian police forcibly remove migrants

Italian police have forcibly removed people from a migrant camp on the French border where many have gathered in the hope of crossing into France.

The Italian authorities want those waiting near Ventimiglia to go to facilities prepared for them a few miles away.

France has closed its border to migrating people coming from Italy, but Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi has threatened to "make Europe suffer" if his country does not receive help.
