    Reuters: The Netherlands will refuse an Italian request to accept 47 migrants on humanitarian ship that is being blocked from Italian ports, it said in a statement on Monday. The Sea Watch 3, run by a German humanitarian group and flying a Dutch flag, recovered the migrants out of a rubber boat off Libya more than a week ago.
    Since then it has been sailing through high winds and 7-metre (23 ft) waves.
