Migrant crisis: Water cannon and tear gas at Hungarian border

Hungarian riot police have fired tear gas and water cannon to force back migrants who broke through gates at the now closed Serbia-Hungary border.

Hundreds of migrants have massed at a key Serbian crossing point near the Hungarian town of Roszke, and are involved in a tense stand-off with police on the other side of the border.

Some migrants threw missiles, including water bottles, at the police.
