Some 40,000 migrants could arrive in Germany
over the next two days, officials say - double the
number who entered the country last weekend.
Most are expected to arrive in the southern city of
Munich but there are concerns about how the
region will cope with another large influx.
Around 4,000 troops are being deployed in
Germany for logistical support.
Germany has become an attractive destination for
Syrian refugees since it waived EU rules.
The government announced in August that it would
deal with Syrian asylum applications regardless of
where the migrants first arrived in the EU - up until
then, people had to claim asylum with the first EU
country they reached.
Tens of thousands of mainly Syrian migrants have
been making their way from Turkey, through the
Balkans and Hungary to reach Austria, Germany
and Sweden.
Migrants have continued to arrive in Macedonia
from Greece, and more buses were reported to be
making their way towards the Hungarian border this
weekend.
