Spain deploys military to Ceuta after thousands of people breach Morocco’s border and at least 9 die AP — Spain will deploy its military to restore order at its border with Morocco in Ceuta after thousands of migrants streamed into the tiny Spanish territory, with at least nine dying in the attempt. The announcement comes after local authorities in Ceuta had asked the central government in Madrid for reinforcements to manage a border crisis that had been building up before boiling over on Thursday with large crowds of people breeching the border fence. Spain’s government said Thursday evening it would send the Armed Forces to help the Civil Guard “to maintain security in the city of Ceuta.” It also announced that Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez would join Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska and visit Ceuta Friday.

lightcraft reimagine their beginning with ‘Waiting for the Morning Sun Twenty years after their debut with the EP “The Modern Seasons”, Jakarta-based Indonesian anthemic pop band lightcraft revisit their origins. The new single, “Waiting for the Morning Sun”, serves as the initial release from a fully reimagined edition of their 2006 debut EP and commences a year-long commemoration of both the foundational record and the band’s two-decade trajectory. “Waiting for the Morning Sun”, initially released as an indie rock and dance anthem, has experienced the most substantial transformation among the tracks. Expanding upon the electronic elements introduced in last year’s “Love, Again (feat RIMALDI)”, the new version positions lightcraft firmly within the melodic electronic music spectrum. While “Love, Again” connected the band’s anthemic pop origins with a house-influenced direction, “Waiting for the Morning Sun” fully embraces this stylistic shift.
