A stand-off has developed in Hungary after riot police ordered a large number of migrants to get off train that left the capital Budapest. The authorities wanted to take the migrants to a transit camp that is part of a crackdown on the thousands arrived in the country.

And then one of her companions tried to help somehow that became a push and shove with the police and she then stood up on the railway line with riot police trying to put her back.And this of course inflamed all the other people on the train and then they break through the line. Some people who come off the train, go back on the train and they will prefer just to stay on the train rather than to go to this processing centre.
