A fund-raising campaign set up by children’s writer Patrick Ness to help with the Syrian refugee crisis has reached nearly £500,000 in just three days.
Ness launched the fundraiser on Thursday, explaining he had to do “something to help this refugee crisis” and pledging to match the first £10,000 in donations to a personal appeal for the charity Save the Children.

My colleague Emma Graham-Harrison is at Munich station in Germany where hundreds of refugees are arriving. She files this report:

Around 80 people have been put up temporarily in a school gym in the village next to theirs.
“There is huge solidarity, there are helper groups in every village trying to help them settle in and deal with processes. Germany is very bureaucratic, there are a lot of forms to fill in,” said mother Jane Parker, a Brit who has lived in the area for nearly 20 years.
“It’s a privilege to help people fleeing a war. We live in a very rich part of Europe.”
The family have come to hand out some of their toys to refugee children arriving on the trains.
Jane is a language teacher and is also thinking of volunteering to help new arrivals learn German.
Here daughter Annabel is spending her 16th birthday in the station. “I saw the reports on the news and wanted to help,” she said.

He declined to say how many refugees the government would take, after the Sunday Times reported the figure could be as high as 15,000. He indicated, however, that the government is minded to take several thousand and may even come close to the EU demand of 18,000.He declined to say how many refugees the government would take, after the Sunday Times reported the figure could be as high as 15,000.

Police said violent scuffles broke out at 1.30 am when around 30 supporters of the fringe neo-Nazi party Die Rechte were attacked by a similar number of anti-fascists. Four were arrested after throwing bottles and fireworks at officers who used pepper spray to break up the fight. Before the refugee train arrived, police escorted the neo-Nazi group out through the station concourse. Within the hour, police said unidentified would-be arsonists tried to set fire to a nearby building intended for use as a refugee home.Police said violent scuffles broke out at 1.30 am when around 30 supporters of the fringe neo-Nazi party Die Rechte were attacked by a similar number of anti-fascists.

Trains also took migrants to Hamburg in the north and Dortmund in the west of the country, while buses brought more than 300 people to Berlin. Thousands more people, mainly Syrians, Iraqis and Afghans fleeing war and persecution, are expected to arrive in Germany and Austria from Hungary on Sunday.
