Authorities in Munich have said they are overwhelmed by the influx of migrants streaming into the Bavarian capital as tens of thousands took to the streets in Europe-wide protests both in support of and opposition to refugees.
More than 10,000 migrants arrived in Munich yesterday, leading regional officials to sound the alarm and urge other areas in Germany - seen as the promised land by many of those seeking safe haven in Europe - to help to deal with the massive influx.
Tensions in Europe were evident on the streets meanwhile, with tens of thousands marching through London waving placards saying “Refugee lives matter” while in Eastern European capitals protesters called for refugees to “go home”.
