European Union divided heading into emergency summit on migrants and refugees

The leaders of 10 European Union member states will meet in Brussels on Sunday June 24 in an emergency summit to consider proposals for tighter border checks to stem the flow of migrants and refugees within the bloc. German Chancellor Angela Merkel has pushed for the meeting to try to satisfy her party's coalition partner in government, the Christian Social Union. It is threatening to bar all asylum seekers registered in other EU states from entering Germany unless EU leaders agree on a deal to share them evenly at the end of the month.
