In this Picture released by the Italian Navy, Monday, Aug. 25, 2014, migrants wait to be boarded on the San Giusto Navy ship, along the Mediterranean sea, off the Sicilian island of Lampedusa, Saturday, Aug. 23, 2014. Italian Interior Minister Angelino Alfano renewed his demand for the European Union to relieve pressure on Italy, which has seen some 100,000 migrants arrive so far this year alone. The country says it spends 9.5 million euros ($13 million) a month to operate the beefed-up air and sea patrols that were launched after more than 360 migrants drowned off the Italian island of Lampedusa last October. "Italy will make its own decisions" if EU partners don't offer assistance, he warned in a tweet. The EU's home affairs commissioner, Cecilia Malmstrom, thanked Italy for its "huge efforts" to save lives and said in a statement she would meet Wednesday with Alfano "to better define priorities and provide assistance."

FILE -- In this file photo taken in Rome on May 21, 2014, former Italian Premier and Forza Italia (Go Italy) party leader Silvio Berlusconi talks during the recording of a tv-talk show. An Italian court on Friday was considering its decision on former Premier Silvio Berlusconi's appeal against a sex-for-hire case that revealed details of raunchy, sex-fueled bunga-bunga parties at his private villa attended by a bevy of aspiring showgirls. Berlusconi was sentenced to seven years in jail and handed a lifetime political ban after being convicted last year of paying for sex with an underage prostitute and then using his influence to cover it up. He denies the charges. (AP Photo/Andrew Medichini)
