Germany expands border controls to curb migrant arrivals

Germany expands border controls to the frontiers with all nine of its neighbours to stop irregular migrants in a move that has sparked protests from other EU members.

Border controls with Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria and Switzerland were already in place before the crackdown was announced.

These will now be expanded to Germany's borders with France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark.
