Good morning, Europe. Put the kettle on and take the first scroll slowly: today’s useful thing is a clear head.
Top story: the EU has called an emergency meeting over migrant crossings into Ceuta, Spain’s North African enclave. BBC reports tense exchanges between Spain and other EU countries after the influx, with Madrid also trying to balance relations with Morocco and Algeria.
Why it matters: Ceuta is small on the map but big in European politics. When pressure builds at an external EU border, the questions spread fast: arrivals, burden-sharing, Schengen, diplomacy, and what solidarity actually means in practice.
Quote for the first cup:
Cool morning read: NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day has “Buck Moon and Belt of Venus” — a nice reminder to look up before the tabs take over.
