that is why, in taking additional refugees, because of course every one we take we can offer a new chance and a new life to, i think it is important we take them from syrian refugee camps. i want to send the message out that the best way to get a new life is not to make this perilous journey.  ap tima kurdi, touches a photo of her nephews aylan and galib kurdi  downing street declined to put a precise figure on the number of syrians who will be admitted to the country, saying that details of the scheme were being finalised and will be announced next week. the additional £100million funding pledge for refugee camps on syria's borders brings the total contribution from the uk to more than £1billion, making it britain's largest ever response to a humanitarian crisis, said mr cameron. as europe struggles to deal with what is the greatest migrant crisis in its history, a dramatic east-west split has formed as the eu. brussels, germany and france want to force all eu nations - including britain - to take their share of up to 160,000 refugees. but hungary, which has borne the brunt of a recent influx of migrants, and poland are steadfastly refusing to accept any more, insisting it is not their problem. the remarks from mr cameron came as french president francois hollande delivered a thinly-veiled swipe at the uk by complaining that some countries were not “shouldering their moral obligations”. france and germany had earlier agreed to propose a permanent and mandatory system to take in refugees and asylum seekers, especially syrians, in the european union eu. “i believe that today what we have done is not enough,” mr hollande said in paris. “there are countries - i am not going to name them here because we are here to work with everybody - and these countries are not shouldering their moral obligations.”  reuters desperate migrant family on the tracks at bicske, in hungary, yesterday  announcing the migrant agreement german chancellor angela merkel said: “the french-german position, which we will transmit to the european institutions, is that we agree that we need binding quotas within the european union to share the burden. that is the principle of solidarity.” she said the “economic power and size of countries should play a role” in the number of migrants they are asked to take in, but stressed that without quotas, “we cannot solve this problem.” it also emerged that eu leaders have drawn up a plan to relocate 160,000 refugees around the continent.    under the new scheme, masterminded by european commission ec president jean-claude juncker, migrants stranded in italy, greece and hungary will be transferred to countries across the eu based on their population and economic wealth. it will see germany granting asylum to 35,000 refugees, france accepting 26,000 and spain 16,000. bulgaria and romania will be expected to take thousands of families. britain refused to join up to scheme earlier this year. however, splits were already emerging over the plan. ec president donald tusk admitted there was a “divide between the east and the west of the eu” over the plan to force all countries to accept a share of the refugees.  express  reuters migrants storm a train in budapest yesterday as the station re-opens after two days  reuters a boy is lifted through a window as hundreds crowd on to a packed train  we have a moral duty to act to take in more of these people and help them to rebuild their lives acting labour leader harriet harman  mr tusk also warned that europe would descend into “political blackmail, divisions and a new blame game” unless all countries pull their weight. but hungarian prime minister viktor orban, who was holding talks with mr tusk, said that the flow of migrants was a “german problem”. “the problem is not a european problem, the problem is a german problem. nobody would like to stay in hungary, neither in slovakia nor poland nor estonia. all of them would like to go to germany,” he said. he told critics to stop blaming hungary for the crisis and said that his country’s decision to force refugees to register meant it was just obeying eu rules before adding that europeans were “full of fear because they see that the european leaders ... are not able to control the situation.” “hungary did everything to fulfil regulations,” mr orban said. “don’t criticise hungary for doing what is compulsory.” the pugnacious right-wing politician also argued that europe’s open-door policy was fuelling the crisis. “if we would create ... an impression that ‘just come because we are ready to accept everybody’, that would be a moral failure. the moral, human thing is to make clear: please don’t come,” he said. “turkey is a safe country. stay there. it’s risky to come. it’s better for the family, for the kids, for yourself to stay.”  ap aylan kurdi, left, and his brother galib kurdi.  reuters a desperate man clings to his wife and child on the train track in bickse as police seize him
