Troubled times.

The migrant situation is continuing to unfold across Europe as the EU foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini warns the issue is here to stay.

Hungary have removed their restrictions on transit but those without papers are refused to board international trains although they are allowed to travel to stations close to the border.

The first group of some 10,000 migrants and refugees were greeted in Munich today with gifts of sweets and chocolate and applauding crowds while others began the long trek across Hungary to Budapest station and more experienced tensions at the Budapest station as they attempted to make their way to Austria and Germany.
