hungary also plans to set up holding camps and crack down on those it claims are crossing the border illegally. today hungarian police were handing out water and sandwiches to the migrants, but those who accepted the offer were not allowed to leave. fearing it was the first step to being deported, some broke out and bolted towards serbia. those with children had little choice but to be taken to a makeshift camp in an asylum in hungary where hardly anyone wants to stay. we weren't allowed to speak with them. faced with that uncertainty, mohammed and friends decided not to trust the police. >> we all say no. >> reporter: no. you came through so many countries and you're not going to lose now. they headed off through the corn fields, before another escape route was closed. they may have reached europe, but they're still on the run. some of the migrants are spending the night here, scott, but it is a confusing situation. hundreds of other migrants were allowed to board trains to germany today. european ministers with calling for emergency talks, but in two weeks. >> reporter: charlie d'a

austria stopped a train coming in from hungary today. officials say they did so because of overcrowding on australia raaustrian railways. not because i.t. carried refugees. andrew simmons spoke about the latest restrictions. >> the hungarian government is defending its restrictions, saying people without visas, can't leave the country. this is what the minister said about the issue. >> it's completely unacceptable that over 150,000 people come through your green borders without any kind of discipline order and law. what we are trying to reestablish is between the borders of hungary and serbia, is some kind of influx of order. >> is that really the right approach? >> it is the best approach for those arriving through green borders. who might be economic migrants, we don't know because they don't have papers, no way of providing their identification. to establish rules, not only hungary butter european union would be able to handle this. >> the international office of migration, an abandons of human rights groups are asking for a different

hungary says it can't cope.it comes down to the basics of it, these individuals say after everything they have been through, at the very least could be provided for them would be water. even that at this stage is lacking. many of them do not want to stay in hungary. no one we spoke to says so. they want to keep on to the european wealthier nations. the transfer is not being facilitat facilitated. they cannot get on trains like anyone else which is why they are resorting to illegal smuggling and tapping into the gangs that are ending up into the situation like the horrific discovery made with the bodies found in the truck on the highway leading from budapest to vienna. the vast majority have been fleeing the war zone of syria and iraq. they don't have a choice. they did not come here because they wanted. they did not come here because they want to steal european jobs. they came here because they cannot live in their homeland. alison. >> have european officials talked about the lack of resources to handle the thou

hungary is building a fence along its entire border with serbia.t high and 100 miles long. so the migrants are in a hurry to cross while they can. for now, hungarian police seem happy to pick up those who are willing to cooperate, load them on to buses, and encourage them to move on to the next country. once in hungary many of the my grants wander the streets, hoping to be smuggled to wealthier countries in europe. we don't know if he made it. it's getting more difficult every day. >> nbc's claude you is on the other side of the border in the barb wired fence in serbia. claudio. >> reporter: i'm standing here in subotica, the biggest town of the border with hungary. there are some of the 2 to 3,000 migrants that come here to the border every single day. now, that's a record number. hungarian government yesterday said that on sunday alone more than 3,000 arrived. that brings up the total number of migrants who crossed into hungary this year from january to 60,000. i spoke to migrants earlier on, most of them are from syria and afghanistan. they will

but then we reach hungary, hungary that is building a wall, hungary that is trying to control the flowit is coming through but doesn't have the infrastructure to be able to handle it, hungary is not necessarily a refugee or migrant-friendly nation. hungary doesn't want these people here. parts and portions, significant portions of the population don't want these people here. we do see random small acts of kindness that are heartening, but it really is not helping those who are most in need and there's a completely illogical fact that people aren't being allowed to move on. yes, hungary and e.u. does have its own laws but these are out of ordinary circumstances and nothing is being done on the part of the government to begin to facilitate what's happening here. there needs to be a conversation, a lot of people are telling us, between the h g hung -- hungarian government to facilitate the movement here. a lot of those we're talking to are asking what can we do? we're going to end up running out of money and dying in the streets of europe if something isn't being done. the fact that there

now this is the biggest town close to the board we are hungary. where hundreds or thousands of migrants every night take those buses to go to the border, right next to the border. why? because they take advantage of the darkness to try to speak under or jump over that razor wire fence you saw there. but in the past couple of days there were a lot more people here than i see tonight. well, that may mean and only mean that many migrants have been deterred by the fence and by the tough measures installed by the hungarian government. >> do you get the soechbs whens kind of policy they could agree on? >> what they propose is create a new european union coordinated refugee centers in the two country where is the migrants arrived first for obvious geographical reasons. that is italy and greece. that will help them out and send them over to different country, the countries of their choices where they want to apply for asylum. and they also asked or proposed to create a list of safe countries of irng origin so people coming from war torn countries will hav

andrew: the number of migrants entering hungary in the last few days has risen sharply. these are mainly syrian, and afghan and iraqi migrants who traveled to europe into hungary which is a gateway for many of these migrants into the european union. migrants.reds of many of them are trying to make their way onwards to cities like vienna. you are seeing families, often young children. it has become one of the most striking symbols in budapest of how authorities are struggling to deal with this influx of migrants and refugees. >> the response looks harsh. tell us about the security measures that could be imposed. andrew: hungary has perhaps been most vocal in its warnings about this influx over the last few months. in june, the government announced 175 kilometer long razor wire fence. they hope to complete the first phase of that by the end of this month. that does not seem to have -- i have the migrants spoken to coming from afghanistan and elsewhere have heard about this fence. it has caused them to accelerate plans in tried to reach europe before the fence is completed.
