Hungary Introduces Tough Laws and Border Controls

The Hungarian government has introduced tough new laws and tight border controls to halt the unprecedented influx of migrants seen in recent weeks. Speaking on the border as the new rules came into force at midnight, the government spokesman, Zoltan Kovacs, says it was a new era and the flow of illegal migrants would be stopped. Mr Kovacs explains it all to Newsday.

Mexican foreign minister and president's spokesman said in a late night press conference that so far two Mexicans are dead and identified. There are six more whose status cannot be confirmed.

Last month Sierra Leone had high hopes that it had beaten the Ebola epidemic. But over the last two weeks there have been a series of setbacks, and now the virus has been identified in a district which had gone six months without a case. The latest victim is a 16-year-old girl who died on Sunday.
