CRI听力:Tension on Hungary-Serbia Border as Migrants Flee

Almost 300 migrants were seen marching down a highway from the Serbian border towards Budapest, escorted by police cars and a police helicopter hovering above.

They were part of a 1,000-strong group who had forced through a police line at a refugee collection point in the city of Roszke.

The asylum seekers were being taken to a registration camp - as per EU rules – when they tried to escape.

EU rules require asylum claims to be processed in the first country that migrants arrive in.

But at least one migrant from Syria says the Hungarian authorities have kept them in deplorable conditions.

"We have actually been in the camp for two days in a very bad situation, in the cold, and we have escaped that. (The Hungarian government) treated us very badly. They left us without tents, without blankets, on the ground, you know? Without toilets for two days, it was, we could not ever bear that."

There were minor clashes throughout Monday, as migrants chanted "Freedom!" and protested at having to wait for hours in the open for buses to take them to the registration centre in Roszke.

Meanwhile, scuffles also broke out in neighboring Macedonia as police tried to restrict the entry of over 2-thousands migrants who were trying to cross into the country from Greece on Monday.

Spanish media say police have fired rubber bullets at asylum seekers in a detention centre in Valencia after about 50 people- from Sub Saharan Africa - tried to escape.

As Europe's migrant crisis deepens French President Francois Hollande says mandatory quotas were being drawn up to relocate 120,000 migrants across the EU.

France says it would take in 24,000.

"Our history is one marked by refugees or asylum seekers who came here to make France with us. The European Commission proposes or is going to propose that 120,000 refugees are shared over the next two years. That will represent for France 24,000 people. "

Meanwhile, the UK has promised to take in up to 20,000 refugees from camps in Syria over the next five years.

But British Prime Minister David Cameron says those who have already crossed the Mediterranean into Europe will not be considered

"We've already provided sanctuary to more than 5,000 Syrians in Britain and have introduced a specific resettlement scheme alongside those we already have to help those Syrian refugees particularly at risk. But given the scale of the crisis and the suffering of the Syrian people, it is right that we should do much more. So Mr Speaker, we are proposing that Britain should resettle up to 20,000 Syrian refugees over the rest of this parliament."

An estimated 340,000 asylum seekers have arrived in Europe so far this year.

But the crisis has divided the 28-nation bloc.

Poorer countries in the East have refused mandatory resettlement quotas.
