Migrant crisis: People treated 'like animals' in Hungary camp
Footage has emerged of migrants being thrown bags of food at a Hungarian camp near the border with Serbia.
An Austrian woman who filmed the video said the migrants were being treated like "animals" and called for European states to open their borders.
It comes as Central European states, Germany and Luxembourg are due to meet over the migrant crisis.
Germany is pushing a quota system that would oblige EU states to take fixed numbers of new arrivals.
The European Commission wants 120,000 additional asylum seekers a year to be shared out between 28 members - a sharp increase from the previous proposal of 40,000.
But the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia have rejected the proposals.

When Benfica make the 3,800-mile journey to Kazakhstan for their opening game of the group stage of this season’s Champions League on Tuesday they will be taking on the remotest and smallest teams in the competition – and also one of the richest.

Many killed in Turkey’s Cizre as MPs march blocked
Latest update : 2015-09-11
Turkish police stopped pro-Kurdish politicians on Thursday marching to a town where they say 21 civilians have been killed and a humanitarian crisis has unfolded since authorities imposed a curfew to combat Kurdish rebels.
Turkish authorities said nearly all of those killed in the week-old curfew were Kurdish militants.
Cizre, near Turkey’s borders with Syria and Iraq, has become a flashpoint in two months of deepening violence in the mainly Kurdish southeast. Hundreds have died since Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militants and the state resumed hostilities after the collapse of ceasefire in July.
Lawmakers from the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP), which draws most of its support from Kurds, say civilians in the town, which has more than 100,000 inhabitants now under a round-the-clock curfew because of the fighting, are in a dire situation, with the dead going unburied and food and water running short.
The unrest in southeastern territories coincides with advances by jihadists, including Islamic State, across the border in Syria and Iraq. Turkey has launched air attacks against Islamic State targets in Syria and PKK bases in Iraq.
Park Geun-hye's diplomatic dance with Xi Jinping has heads spinning in Asia

Seoul: At the height of the Korean Peninsula tensions last month, South Korean loudspeakers blared propaganda messages across the DMZ to hundreds of thousands of troops stationed over the border in the North.
Designed to chip away at morale, the taunts infuriated the North Korean leadership. President Park has met with President Xi in China three times! The speakers boomed. How many times has Kim Jong-un met with President Xi?
The answer: none.
"If the North Korean people knew that they would probably be quite shocked," said veteran China watcher, journalist and commentator Jong-dae Ha, from South Korea's highest circulating newspaper, Dong-A Ilbo. "I don't think Kim Jong-un was too happy watching that parade."
"That parade" was China's commemorative World War II military spectacular, held in Beijing on September 3. South Korean President Park Geun-hye raised eyebrows as she stood, resplendent in yellow, just a Russian president away from China's Xi Jinping, watching Beijing's conspicuous display of manpower and hardware.

How many times can you pull off the same disappearing act? An unlimited number of times -- if you're Chinese artist Liu Bolin. A full decade on from his first series, "Hiding in the City," Liu has continued to work within the unique medium -- camouflaging himself into various backgrounds with the aim of raising awareness on political and societal issues.
"I always use my works to question and rethink the inequality and imbalance caused by the process of human development," says Liu, who in the past, has been painted to 'disappear' into the backdrop of demolition sites and supermarket aisles (to voice concerns about China's fake food scandals).
