European leaders to hold summit over migrant crisis

European leaders will meet in Brussels on Sunday for an extraordinary meeting on how to deal with Europe's refugee crisis as winter approaches.
In an interview in German newspaper Bild am Sonntag , European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said: "Every day counts...otherwise we will soon see families in cold rivers in the Balkans perish miserably.
John Dalhuisen, Amnesty International director for Europe and Central Asia, said: "As winter looms, the sight of thousands of refugees sleeping rough as they make their way through Europe represents a damning indictment of the European Union's failure to offer a forward thinking and coordinated response to the refugee crisis.
