HUNGARIAN MPS DISCUSS MIGRANT ACTION

Hungarian MPs are voting (on Friday) on whether to increase border controls, as a migrant stand-off with police near Budapest continues.

People who had boarded a train from Budapest refused to then be forced off at a refugee camp outside the Hungarian capital.

Hungarian lawmakers are also discussing whether a state of emergency should be called, and whether to create new holding camps for migrants.

Many of those in Hungary have fled the civil war in Syria and want to make it to countries like Germany and Austria to seek asylum.
