Reuters is reporting that Hungary's defence minister, Csaba Hende, has resigned after a national security council meeting held to discuss the huge influx of refugees and migrants arriving in the country. The country, which has seen more than 100,000 people arrive, many fleeing conflict in the Middle East, last week proposed measures that would allow it to deploy the army to its borders in a bid to stem the inflow. Hende is to be replaced by Istvan Simicsko, also a member of the ruling conservative Fidesz party. - Thomson Reuters
