PIRAEUS, Greece (AP) — The Latest on Europe's migrant crisis (all times local): 4:50 p.m. Portugal's government says it is taking in 10 of the 58 migrants aboard a rescue ship in the Mediterranean Sea, as part of a deal with France and Spain. The Portuguese Interior Ministry said in a statement it was making the gesture "out of a sense of solidarity and in concert with Spain and France." Authorities in Paris and Madrid made no immediate announcement about a possible deal on what to do with the other people on the Aquarius 2 rescue vessel. The ship asked France on Monday to let the migrants disembark in Marseille, but Paris said there were closer ports and a need for a comprehensive European solution to the migrant problem.
