Thousands Stranded as Hungary Stops Refugees from Boarding Trains 
------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In news from Europe, hundreds of people are protesting outside a
Budapest train station over Hungary's decision to prevent people fleeing
violence in their home countries from boarding westbound trains headed
toward Germany. The move has left thousands of people stranded outside
the station in 104-degree heat. Meanwhile, at least 11 people have died
and five more are missing after two boats headed to Greece sank off the
coast of Turkey on Tuesday. Among the dead were a woman and her three
children.
