Italy's cabinet has backed sending a mission to Libya to try to stem the influx of migrants. Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni said the mission would help Libya reinforce their capacity to control their borders and national territory. It would reportedly comprise ships, planes and at least 700 sailors. Mr Gentiloni claimed it had been requested by Libya, but the UN-backed government there vigorously denied making any such request.<br/><br/>In an earlier statement, Libyan Prime Minister Fayez Sarraj said his administration had agreed to receive only training and arms from Italy. Mr Sarraj, whose administration's control of Libya is limited, held a face-to-face meeting with Mr Gentiloni in Italy.
