CRI听力:Migrants Scuffle with Hungarian Police: Dead Toddler's Image Shocks Europe

Angry scuffles broke out at a railway station in Bicske, west of Budapest on Thursday, after Hungarian authorities decided to stop a train carrying hundreds of migrants for the second time.

Some migrants were seen clinging to railway tracks as riot police tried to take them to a refugee camp nearby.

The train had just left Budapest after police let migrants into the railway station following a two-day stand-off there.

Hungary's nationalist Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán says Europe is in the grip of madness over immigration and refugees and argued that he was defending European Christianity against a Muslim influx.

"We believe that all countries have the right to decide if they want to live together with populous Muslim communities. It is their right to decide. And if the decision is that they do want that, then they will live together. But we don't want that.

Orbán's incendiary remarks came as he arrived in Brussels for a confrontation with EU leaders over his hardline policies in Europe's biggest migration emergency since World War II.

Germany, France, and Italy are demanding an overhaul of European asylum procedures.

French President Francois Hollande has again raised the issue of mandatory quotas for resettling refugees.

"Finally we need to share out these asylum seekers, these refugees, I'm particularly talking about those from Syria, and German) Chancellor Angela Merkel and I have proposed a permanent, compulsory mechanism."

The fresh call for EU countries to share the burden of asylum seekers came after a photograph of a three-year-old, who was found drowned on a beach in Turkey, led to an international outcry.

The boy was among five children who drowned in Turkish waters while trying to reach Greece on Wednesday.

Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny says European leaders need to act immediately to minimize the human cost of the crisis.

"Is there anybody on the planet who could not be moved by what they saw in the papers today? Anybody with a sense of humanity to see the body of a young boy washed up on a beach like driftwood. And while we all have our problems and we can talk the politics of any individual country, this is a human catastrophe and this particular picture may after so many deaths shock people into a sense of who we are and what we should be."

But there are still sharp disagreements among European leaders over how to deal with the crisis with countries like the UK refusing mandatory quotas. Hungary has even built a razor-wire fence along its border with Serbia to stop migrants from entering.

The crisis is threatening to unravel the Schengen passport-free travel zone across 26 EU countries.
