Italy given month to clean Naples

Italy has been ordered by the European Union to end Naples' rubbish crisis within a month or face legal action.

Thousands of tonnes of waste has piled up on the streets as refuse collections have come to a standstill.

The European Commission says the situation is "intolerable" and is giving Rome a final warning to find a short-term and a permanent solution.

Italy has set out emergency measures to tackle the problem but the Commission says they are only limited solutions.
