Migrant crisis: Hungary train stand-off enters second day

A stand-off between police and migrants on a train in Hungary is continuing into the second day. 

Thursday, police let the migrants on board the train in Budapest but then tried to force them off at a refugee camp west of the capital.  

Hungarian MPs face a key vote later on whether to tighten border controls as migrants try to pass through to their preferred destination, Germany. 

They will also vote on creating new holding camps for migrants, and whether the situation constitutes a state of emergency. 

Three other European meetings scheduled for today will discuss the migrant crisis. 

Members of the European Commission are also flying to the Greek island of Kos to examine the difficulties caused by the large numbers of refugees and migrants landing there.
