"Europe needs to wake up [in relation to the migrant crisis] and the time for reverie is over," Austrian Interior Minister Johanna Mikl-Leitner says.

"Now the continent of Europe is challenged. In this great challenge the entire continent has to give a unified answer. 

"Whoever still thinks that withdrawal from the EU or a barbed wire fence around Austria will solve the problem is wrong." 

David Simmonds, from the Local Government Association, has told the BBC that the planned arrangement for funding migrants who arrive in Britain for their first year only will "leave local council tax payers picking up the bill" for a decision made by central government. 

Council leaders have called on ministers to ensure that resources are in place to support people as they come to Britain.

The UK's Home Office says local authorities will only receive funding for the first year if they accept refugees who have been brought from near Syria under a government scheme. 

David Cameron's promise to accept "thousands" of Syrian refugees will be delivered under the government's Vulnerable Persons Relocation scheme. 

Under this scheme, central government fully funds the costs of health, education and social care costs as well as the provision of tailored integration support for 12 months. 

But officials confirmed that once those 12 months are up, the costs of supporting the refugees will fall to the local authorities where they are living.

Hungary says that it has recorded some 165,000 migrants entering the country so far this year.

David Simmonds, from the Local Government Association, says musician Bob Geldof's offer to give a home to Syrian refugees is "pie in the sky". 

Mr Geldof said he felt "profound shame" at the growing refugee crisis and has offered to put up four families in his homes in Kent and London. 

But Mr Simmonds said: "If Bob Geldof is willing to make that offer I'm sure his local council, which will already have a lot of people on its housing waiting list, will be very happy to bring them around this afternoon."

EU foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini says that the refugee influx is here to stay and member states must adjust to that new reality.

"The sooner we accept it, the sooner we will be able to respond effectively [and] unite as Europeans," Ms Mogherini is quoted by the AFP news agency as saying, after a two-day informal meeting of EU foreign ministers. 

 "It affects all of us. A few months ago, it was Italy, Greece and Malta. Now it is Hungary and it could [be the] turn of other member states in the future," she said.

Ivand, 18, from Kobane, Syria takes a selfie with his friends as they walk along a railway track after crossing into Hungary from the border with Serbia. 

Hungary's police chief says that buses are no longer being provided to transfer migrants to the Austrian border, and that the measure that transported thousands overnight and on Saturday morning was a "one-off".

Europe and Britain must offer asylum to those genuinely fleeing persecution but also need to boost aid spending, defeat smuggling gangs and tackle the conflict in Syria to curb the migrant crisis, Britain's Finance Minister George Osborne tells the Reuters news agency.

"It's absolutely clear we need a comprehensive plan across Europe," he said on the sidelines of a meeting of G-20 finance ministers in Turkey.

"Yes, we must offer asylum to those who are genuinely fleeing persecution. Countries like Britain always have, we are one of the founders of the asylum system. We will take, as the [British] prime minister said, thousands more.

"But at the same time, you've got to make sure you've got aid going into the refugee camps on the borders ... We've got to defeat these criminal gangs who trade in human misery and risk people's lives and kill people." 

Polish Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz reiterates her country's commitment  to accept 2,000 migrants. "We are committed to solidarity but it has to be a responsible solidarity," she is quoted by Reuters as saying.  

The influx of refugees from countries such as Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan is bad news for potential migrants to Germany from western Balkan countries such as Serbia and Macedonia, The Guardian reports, external.

It says that up to 75,000 asylum requests this year by migrants from south-eastern Europe are expected to be rejected by Germany.

The country has deported more than 10,000 foreigners so far this year, many of them from the Balkans, the paper quotes Germany's Der Spiegel magazine as saying.

A refugee who made it across the border from Hungary into Austria has told the BBC's Nick Thorpe of his determination to reach Germany. Sina Omid said that he had been travelling for more than one month, spending more than a week in Hungary. 

"If they help us to go in Germany, I am so happy," he said. 

The BBC's Mark Lowen in the Turkish coastal town of Bodrum says that despite the dangers, there are still families - including young children - waiting to make the journey to Greece.
