Was Morocco complicit in exodus to Ceuta?

Also in the programme: Two helicopters responding to wildfires in Greece have collided mid-air, killing both people on board one of the aircraft; and police in Germany are investigating death threats made against a theatre presenting a play about a stranded whale.
