VIENNA/MUNICH Austria said on Sunday it planned to end emergency measures that have allowed thousands of refugees stranded in Hungary into Austria and Germany since Saturday and move step by step "towards normality". 
 
 Austria had suspended its random border checks after photographs of a Syrian toddler lying dead on a Turkish beach showed Europeans the horror faced by those desperate enough to travel illegally into the heart of Europe, which is deeply divided over how to cope. 
 
 After 71 people suffocated in the back of a truck abandoned on an Austrian highway en route from Hungary, and as thousands headed from Budapest towards Austria on foot, Vienna had agreed with Germany to waive rules requiring refugees to register an asylum claim in the first EU country they reach. 
 
 Austrian Chancellor Werner Faymann said that decision was being revised following "intensive talks" with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and a telephone call with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, bitterly opposed to the waiver. 
 
 "We have always said this is an emergency situation in which we must act quickly and humanely. We have helped more than 12,000 people in an acute situation," Faymann said. 
 
 "Now we have to move step by step away from emergency measures towards normality, in conformity with the law and dignity." 
 
 Hungary laid on over 100 buses to the border on Saturday night after Austria said it had agreed to the emergency measures, to the relief of thousands of migrants and refugees stranded in Budapest after traveling through the Balkans and Greece, many of them fleeing civil war in Syria. 
 
 Others set off from a station to make the 170-km (110-mile) journey on foot. A platforms filled up again on Sunday. 
 
 Germany has said it expects to receive 800,000 refugees and migrants this year, and urged other EU members to open their doors. It decided to free up additional three billion euros ($3.35 billion) for federal states and municipalities to help cope with the influx, a joint statement by the ruling coalition said. 
 
 'IT'S GETTING TIGHT' 
 
 At the station in Munich, state capital of Bavaria, a few dozen well-wishers turned up to cheer the new arrivals. Those who stopped to speak told of weeks of arduous travel by land and sea. Some seemed intimidated by the welcoming applause. 
 
 The president of the Upper Bavarian government, Christoph Hillenbrand, said he expected 13,000 migrants to reach the city on Sunday, up from a previous estimate of 11,000, following 6,800 arrivals on Saturday. Hillenbrand, adding that 11,000 could arrive on Monday, said Munich was running out of capacity. 
 
 Authorities there were using a disused car showroom and a railway logistics center as makeshift camps, and were adding a further 1,000 beds to 2,300 already set up at the city’s international trade fair ground. About 4,000 people were sent to other German states. 
 
 “It’s getting tight,” Hillenbrand told reporters at the train station. 
 
 Merkel's decision to allow the influx has caused a rift in her conservative bloc, with her Bavarian allies saying she had pushed ahead without consulting the federal state administrations dealing with the problem on the ground. 
 
 The political rift is greater across Europe, with Hungary's Orban accusing Berlin of encouraging the influx. 
 
 “As long as Austria and Germany don't say clearly that they won’t take in any more migrants, several million new immigrants will come to Europe," he told Austrian broadcaster ORF. 
 
 Orban has portrayed the crisis as a defense of Europe's prosperity, identity and "Christian values" against a tide of mainly Muslim migrants. French far-right leader Marine Le Pen accused Germany of looking to lower wages and hire "slaves". 
 
 Hungary, the main entry point for migrants into Europe's borderless Schengen zone, plans to seal its southern frontier with a new, high fence by Sept. 15. 
 
 The United States came under pressure to do more to help. David Miliband, head of the International Rescue Committee and a former British foreign secretary, called on Washington to bring out "the kind of leadership America has shown on these kind of issues" in the past. 
 
 In Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected a call by opposition leader Isaac Herzog to give refuge to Syrian refugees, saying the country was too small to take them in. 
 
 Gulf states Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have come under criticism for officially taking in zero refugees. 
 
 Some EU states say the focus should be on tackling the violence in the Middle East that has caused so many to flee. 
 
 British Prime Minister David Cameron wants to hold a vote in parliament in early October to allow it to join air strikes by a U.S.-led coalition on Islamic State in Syria, London's Sunday Times said, and Le Monde reported that France was also considering joining. 
 
 SYMPATHY 
 
 In Budapest's Keleti station, migrants and refugees followed handwritten signs in Arabic directing them to trains to Hegyeshalom on the Austrian border, and volunteers handed out food and clothing. 
 
 On the frontier, long lines of people, many wrapped in blankets or sleeping bags and carrying sleeping children, got off buses on the Hungarian side and walked across into Austria. 
 
 "We're happy. We'll go to Germany," said a Syrian who gave his name as Mohammed. 
 
 But on Hungary's border with Serbia, there were reports that people had spent the night in the rain without food or shelter. 
 
 "While Europe rejoiced in happy images from Austria and Germany yesterday, refugees crossing into Hungary right now see a very different picture - riot police and a cold hard ground to sleep on," Amnesty International researcher Barbora Cernusakova said in a statement. 
 
 The numbers in Europe are small compared to the almost 4 million refugees in Syria's neighbors Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan, and Pope Francis called for every European church parish and religious community to take in one migrant family each. 
 
 But a poll in the French newspaper Aujourd'hui en France showed 55 percent of French people opposed to softening rules on granting refugee status. 
 
 European leaders are due to expand their list of “safe” countries to which migrants looking for a better life but not in fear of life and limb can be returned. 
 
 DANGEROUS CROSSING 
 
 The flow of people risking the dangerous journey on flimsy boats across the Mediterranean shows no sign of abating, as they flee the four-year-old civil war in Syria that has killed about 250,000 civilians, and wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Africa. 
 
 On the Greek island of Lesbos, about 500 Afghans protesting at lengthy identification procedures scuffled with police. A ferry took 1,744 migrants and refugees to Athens from Lesbos on Sunday and another one with 2,500 on board was expected later in the day, the coast guard said. 
 
 A record 50,000 people hit Greek shores in July alone, and were ferried from islands unable to cope to the mainland. There, a government in financial crisis is keen to dispatch them into Macedonia, from where they enter Serbia and then Hungary. 
 
 More than 2,000 refugees have died at sea in the Mediterranean so far this year. The Cypriot coast guard on Sunday picked up 114 Syrian refugees who were adrift in a fishing boat.

 A convoy of cars driven by German and Austrian activists has crossed into Hungary to pick up migrants and help them reach western Europe. 
 
 Thousands - many of whom initially fled conflict in Syria - have made their way through Austria since Hungary removed restrictions on transit on Friday. 
 
 Buses and special trains have been taking them from the Hungarian border to Vienna and on to Germany. 
 
 The Pope said every Catholic parish in Europe should host a migrant family. 
 
 Speaking during the Angelus prayer, Pope Francis appealed for "every parish, every religious community, every monastery, every sanctuary in Europe" to take in a family.

 On Sunday a convoy of about 140 cars left Vienna for the Hungarian capital, Budapest, as part of a private initiative dubbed "refugeeconvoy" 
 
 One of the Austrian activists taking part, Angelika Neuwirth, told the BBC that their aim was to take them back to shelters in Austrian capital. 
 
 "I think this is my duty. I'm a mum, I'm a woman from Austria and I can't close my eyes anymore," she said. "We are all human. No-one is illegal." 
 
 However, Hungarian police spokeswoman Viktoria Csiszer-Kovacs said anyone taking migrants across the border was breaking the law. 
 
 Last week four Austrian activists who tried to do so were arrested for people smuggling but later released. 
 
 However, in the latest move a number of activists were able to collect migrants in Hungary without being stopped by police.

 Many, frustrated at being prevented from boarding trains in Budapest, had begun to walk along a motorway towards Austria. 
 
 Many of the migrants had travelled north through the Balkans - Greece, Macedonia and Serbia - before arriving in Hungary. 
 
 Hundreds more crossed into southern Hungary from Serbia on Sunday, where they were taken to a processing centre.

 Germany, Austria, and Hungary have said the decision to allow migrants through is aimed at averting a humanitarian crisis, and will not set a precedent. 
 
 "Now, step by step, we must move away from emergency measures to lawful and humane normality," Austrian Chancellor Werner Faymann reaffirmed on Sunday. 
 
 EU rules requiring refugees to apply for asylum in the first country they land in "are still valid", a German government spokesman said. 
 
 However, in August Germany waived the rule on asylum seekers from Syria, allowing them to register in Germany regardless of where they first entered the EU. 
 
 Germany expects to take in 800,000 people this year. Syrians are the largest group travelling, followed by Afghans and Eritreans.

 There is little sign of a co-ordinated EU response to the crisis, despite more than 350,000 migrants having crossed the EU's borders in 2015 alone. 
 
 Germany, backed by the European Commission, has been pushing for a quota system for sharing out newcomers between EU member states. 
 
 But this has been opposed by several eastern members. 
 
 On Saturday, Hungary said that while it had temporarily relaxed restrictions on the transit of asylum seekers, it was pressing ahead with plans to tighten border controls and could send troops to its southern frontier if parliament agreed. 
 
 A border fence is due to completed by 15 September. 
 
 Migrant boy remembered

 A memorial has been held in Vancouver, Canada for three-year-old Alan Kurdi, his brother Ghalib and mother Rehanna, who drowned trying to reach the Greek island of Kos. The three have family in Canada. 
 
 Pictures of Alan's body, washed up on a Turkish beach, prompted widespread anguish. 
 
 Members of the Kurdi family were joined by more than 100 people to remember the three Syrians, who died on the journey to Europe after fleeing the conflict in their home country. Canada had earlier rejected an asylum application on behalf of the family. 
 
 Tima Kurdi, the boys' aunt, said she was worried about their father Abdullah, who attended the burial for his family in Syria on Friday. 
 
 "He's not leaving the graves. He was sleeping the last three days there, on the ground, beside them." 
 
 The story of Alan Kurdi's family 
 
 A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants.

 The question on all their lips: "Why are they treating us like this?" 
 
 At times, the migrants -- most of them from Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan -- tussled with police blocking a road from this holding site to a transit camp near Roszke, Hungary, where they can register as refugees and continue their journeys. 
 
 Buses were carrying small numbers of migrants to the camp, but many have been forced to wait at the holding site for as many as three days with little in the way of services or support. 
 
 One Hungarian nonprofit was on site handing out biscuits, fruit and water, and a medical tent was erected Monday.

 Meanwhile, Austria and Germany warned they can't keep up with the influx of refugees and said they must begin to slow the pace.

 More than 16,000 migrants have streamed into Austria since Saturday, Burgenland state police spokesman Wolfgang Bachkoenig said Monday. Virtually all continued to Germany, where the city of Munich had received more than 17,500 people, police said. 
 
 "We must now, step by step, go from emergency measures to a normality that is humane and complies with the law," Austrian Chancellor Werner Faymann said. 
 
 At least 2,800 have died or disappeared during the journey. Those who make the crossing face uncertain futures in European nations, which differ in their approach to asylum seekers. 
 
 Some European nations offer help; Denmark tightens restrictions 
 
 On Monday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said her country would pledge an additional €3 billion to the migrant crisis. She said Germany "is of course willing to accept more refugees," but called on other European countries to take in more. 
 
 Moments after Merkel spoke, French President Francois Hollande said France is ready to take on more responsibility. 
 
 He said the European Commission will propose distributing 120,000 refugees over the next two years, of whom France would take in 24,000. 
 
 "We will do so because it is the principle to which France is committed," Hollande said. 
 
 And Britain will take up to 20,000 Syrian refugees over the next five years, Prime Minister David Cameron said Monday. But the country will focus on resettling refugees from camps in countries bordering Syria, not those who have already entered Europe. 
 
 "This provides refugees with a more direct and safe route to the United Kingdom rather than risking the hazardous journey to Europe, which has tragically cost so many lives." 
 
 Refugees will receive a five-year humanitarian protection visa, he said. 
 
 Not every European country is opening its arms. 
 
 Denmark, for instance, paid for ads in Arabic in four Lebanese newspapers to get the word out about its own new, tightened restrictions -- such as reducing social benefits -- to try to prevent refugees from getting into the Scandinavian nation. 
 
 "We cannot simply keep up with the present flow," Immigration and Integration Minister Inger Stojberg, a member of the right-wing Venstre Party, said on Facebook. "In light of the huge influx to Europe these days, there is good reason for us to tighten rules and get that effectively communicated." 
 
 'We went through a torture' 
 
 Many of the migrants arrive with harrowing tales of crossing the Mediterranean, then walking from Greece through Macedonia, Serbia, Hungary and finally into Austria. 
 
 Austria's border with Hungary remains open to potential refugees, Austrian Interior Ministry spokesman Alexander Marakovits said Sunday, as packed buses and trains continued to arrive. 
 
 Many Austrians brought food and water and cheered for the refugees pouring onto the platform at Vienna's train station.

 One man who recently arrived in Austria talked of the family's difficult journey through Hungary. 
 
 "We went through a torture," he said, standing next to his two daughters. "We walked 110 kilometers (70 miles) with the children. They didn't allow us to take cars or trains." 
 
 But he said the Hungarian people "were very nice" and the situation got better when the family arrived in Austria. 
 
 "We are comfortable here, and we like the people and the government of Austria." 
 
 Of the thousands who arrived in Austria this weekend, a dozen or so have opted to apply for asylum there, the country's Interior Ministry said. Many want to go farther, particularly to Germany. 
 
 Attacks against refugees on the rise 
 
 But the dangers don't stop once refugees reach Germany.

 At least 340 attacks have taken place on refugee camps in Germany this year, the Interior Ministry said. Most of the incidents are believed to be fueled by radical right-wing, anti-immigrant sentiment. 
 
 The attacks include vandalism, hate speech and arson, as well as violent attacks on people. At least 38 violent assaults have been recorded this year, up from 28 last year. 
 
 On Monday, another suspicious fire broke out at a house for asylum seekers in Rottenburg am Neckar, police said. 
 
 Five people were injured -- three by smoke inhalation and two by jumping out of the building's first and second floors. None of the rooms is inhabitable anymore. 
 
 The cause is under investigation.

 European Union countries have an open-border policy that allows the free movement of people between member states. While Germany, France and other countries are opening their doors to more migrants, countries such as Hungary and Austria are clamping down on the flow. 
 
 Hungary's right-wing government, trying to stop the flood of migrants, has erected a barbed wire fence along its more than 160-kilometer (100-mile) border with Serbia to prevent them from crossing there. Serbia is not an EU country. 
 
 In Austria, the Interior Ministry warned that it is illegal to drive across the border to Hungary, pick up a group of migrants and transport them back to Austria. 
 
 But some people are doing exactly that.

 A group of volunteers from Austria, Germany and Slovakia -- organized on Facebook -- formed a convoy of almost 200 cars to shuttle migrants from the Hungarian border. 
 
 "We think that around 380 people came with us," volunteer Erzsebet Szabo said Monday morning. "We are very happy." 
 
 Szabo said she's not afraid of getting arrested. After all, she said, even that fate wouldn't compare to what the refugees have endured. 
 
 "It's very important that we, altogether, give this big sign that refugees -- the people that need our help and come from the war -- have our solidarity and support." 
 
 The disparate responses have resulted in calls from United Nations and European Union officials for European countries to stand shoulder to shoulder in their response to the crisis, the like of which has not been seen since World War II. 
 
 "We need concrete, coherent, rational political decisions in the sense of solidarity and responsibility, because European Union was built in decades after the second world war on the experience of that war, that made many of our Europeans flee and leave Europe," EU foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini told CNN's Christiane Amanpour in an exclusive interview Monday. 
 
 "Now we should remember our story and act following the same values and principles that have allowed us to build a continent in peace and prosperity," she said. "We are rich. We are in peace. We have the duty to save and protect people that are fleeing from war."
– Thousands of migrants streamed into Germany and Austria for a second day today, with Munich alone having 7,000 registered, a fraught journey that was capped with cheers, welcome signs, hot tea, and toys for their children. "I said to myself, I have to do something," one volunteer handing out drinks tells the New York Times, while a German lawmaker tells the AP that, "No decent person can remain cold and dismissive in the face of such suffering. Whoever refuses to do their part calls into question whether they can be part of Europe." German Chancellor Angela Merkel was meeting with coalition partners today to figure out what to do with the influx, reports the BBC, as her nation estimates it could open its borders to up to 800,000. Pope Francis did not sit idly by, reports the AP, calling on every Catholic parish, convent, monastery, and sanctuary in Europe to host one migrant family. He put his money where his mouth is, announcing that the Vatican's two parishes would host two such families. "This has to be an eye-opener on how messed up the situation in Europe is now," Austria's foreign minister tells the Times. “I hope that this serves as a wake-up call that this cannot continue." Hungary, which had cracked down on the stream of migrants pouring in, opened its borders yesterday.
