1. Germany calls on EU partners to take more migrants

Germany on Monday told other European nations they must take in more migrants from Syria, Iraq, and other war zones, following a weekend when 20,000 asylum-seekers entered Germany from Hungary. "What isn't acceptable in my view is that some people are saying this has nothing to do with them," German Chancellor Angela Merkel said.
