BBC World Service - BBC OS, Germany: We Can Cope With 500,000 Asylum Seekers

EU finalises migrant quotas, Turkey air force hits PKK, Colombia baby swap

Migrant crisis: Germany says it can cope with half a million asylum seekers a year, the UN and Greece employ more staff and ships to speed up migrant registration and transfer people to Athens, and we board a train travelling from Budapest to Munich to talk to those seeking refuge and work in Germany. Also on the programme: Turkish forces pursue the PKK in northern Iraq, the war in Yemen intensifies, and the UK government is criticised for drone strikes on British nationals in Syria.
