BUDAPEST, Hungary -- The latest developments as European
governments rush to cope with the huge number of people moving across
Europe. All times local (CET):
9:00 a.m.
Thousands
of migrants, many lacking food and water, remain trapped in southeast
Europe after countries began putting up barriers that have blocked their
passage to Western Europe.
On Saturday,
Hungarian authorities were escorting hundreds of people to the border
with Austria after Croatia became overwhelmed and dumped them on
Hungary's doorstep the day before.
It wasn't
yet clear how Austria would react to the large influx of people fleeing
conflict and poverty in the Middle East and Africa.
In
Slovenia, hundreds of people camped out overnight in Obrezje, a town
just across the border from Croatia. Authorities only allowed limited
numbers of families with women and children to continue on. Many
migrants put up tents while others tried their best to keep warm as the
temperatures dipped overnight.
