Migrant crisis: Applause as hundreds arrive in Munich

Hundreds of migrants, mostly from Syria, have arrived at Munich train station to applause after boarding trains in Austria.

They are the first of thousands, who were stranded in Hungary before being allowed to leave on buses for Austria.

There were cheers from a large group of Germans who had gathered to welcome them, with many handing out sweets and water.

There's a nice 1-minute video of Germans applauding Syrian refugees as they leave a bus. It must drive the German far-right crazy to see this after multiple arson attacks on refugee centers.
