Chancellor Angela Merkel has said the "breathtaking" flow of migrants into Germany will "occupy and change" the country in the coming years.

She said Germany would speed up asylum procedures and build extra housing, but called on other EU states to help, reports BBC.

Meanwhile, the flow of migrants across Europe shows no sign of easing.
