Hungary passes law allowing army to use stun grenades, rubber bullets and tear gas on migrants, as refugee crisis forces German rail operator to suspend services to and from Austria and Hungary

  • Hungary is desperately seeking ways to deter migrants from arriving, including broadening the military's powers
  • Prime Minister Viktor Orban previously described the refugees as 'a threat to Hungary and a threat to Europe' 
  • Later today EU interior ministers will hold an emergency meeting in hope of bridging deep rifts over the crisis
  • Tensions are escalating - particularly between Hungary and Croatia - as European countries struggle to cope
