Sweden Introduces New Border Controls to Halt Refugees 
-------------------------------------------------------


 
Sweden has introduced new border controls as refugees from Syria, Iraq
and elsewhere seek to enter the country. Nearly 200,000 people are
expected to arrive in Sweden this year—a higher number per capita than
any other EU country. Meanwhile, Slovenian soldiers began erecting a
barbed wire fence near the border with Croatia in a bid to stop the flow
of refugees. And 14 refugees, including seven children, drowned off the
Turkish coast as they attempted to reach Greece.
