Around 200 migrants were filmed illegally crossing Austria's border fence from
the Hungarian side on Thursday, as irregular migration to the Alpine nation is close to breaking point.
Between January and September, almost 72,000 migrants
- mostly young men from Syria and Afghanistan - applied for asylum in Austria, up from the 40,000 recorded in the entirety of last year.
