Africa: Britain declines to 'share the burden' of refugees

UK Home Secretary Theresa May has stressed that Britain would not accept migrants fleeing Libya and Tunisia as divisions opened within the European Union over how to respond to the crisis of refugees from North Africa. May is resisting calls from Italy for other EU countries to 'share the burden' of accommodating the new arrivals. Britain is offering to help the Italian government cope with the refugees, but insisting none will be given shelter in the UK.
