The world in brief, September 21st 2015
European tempers flared over migrants. Romania called Hungary’s new border fence “autistic”. Hungary dismissed Romania as corrupt and accused Croatia of “human trafficking” for sending people across their border. More than 20,000 arrived in Austria. Italy’s coastguard rescued 4,500 off Libya. More than a dozen were drowned after boats sank off Turkey, with dozens more missing. European leaders will discuss the crisis (again) on Wednesday. America, said John Kerry, the secretary of state, will accept 100,000 refugees the fiscal year after next, up from 70,000 this year.
