| Italy expels Tunisian accused of supporting Islamic State group [AlAhram] Italy says it has expelled a Tunisian man who pledged support to the Islamic State group on his Facebook page and was allegedly planning to go to the Syrian-Iraqi region to fight. Monday's expulsion marked the 122nd person Italy has kicked out since January 2015 on security grounds related to Islamic extremism. Interior Minister Angelino Alfano said the investigation was conducted alongside French authorities because the Tunisian, who came to Italy in 2003, was in touch with an underage Frenchwoman of Italian origin. Alfano said that French authorities had identified him from his activity on a jihadi chat board, adding that he "clearly intended to reach the Syrian-Iraqi theater." A plane carrying the 32-year-old left Palermo, Sicily, on Monday, bringing to 56 the number of people kicked out this year. Greek police escort refugee children to school [AlAhram] Police in a northern Greek village escorted refugee children to school Monday, as local parents protested the launch of a national programme to educate migrant youngsters, an AFP reporter saw. Around 100 police formed a corridor to enable some 40 puzzled-looking children from Syria and Afghanistan to enter the school at Profitis, a village a few kilometres (miles) north of Thessaloniki. A similar number of parents -- who had earlier padlocked the school gate -- waved Greek flags and hurled insults at local education authorities. "Our children will be raped and then, who will take responsibility?" one parent shouted. "We are told these children have been vaccinated but we don't believe them," another said. Some 1,500 refugee children attended classes in some 20 schools nationwide Monday, the first day of an education initiative set to include thousands of minors from war-torn regions. Eventually over 10,000 children are to be part of the programme by the end of the month, according to the education ministry. Over 60,000 refugees and migrants are currently stuck in Greece after several European states further north shut their borders earlier this year. France: UK has "moral duty" to take Calais migrant children [Ynet] France's interior minister says Britain has a "moral duty" to take in all children with family links to the UK who are living in a border refugee camp on the French side of the English Channel. Bernard Cazeneuve made the comments on RTL radio Monday, ahead of a London meeting with his counterpart, Amber Rudd. Cazeneuve said he is "solemnly asking the UK to fulfill its moral duty" to take in "several hundred isolated minors with family in Britain." The London meeting will address the closure of the slum-like camp in Calais that's become a flashpoint in Europe's migrant crisis. Thousands of migrants fleeing war and hardship from countries such as Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan have reached the port town in the hope of making it to Britain.
